Yesterday I changed the oil, degreased and pressure washed the engine bay and under car, fixed the headlight, recharged the AC. And also removed 1" from the rear spring isolator to level the drop on the Bilstein/Eibach Pro Kit 350z suspension. No more rake! Yeaaaa

Today I drove it and enjoyed it

Test fitted the brembos to make sure they cleared the wheels. Yes I know they are the wrong side lol.

All in all I'm happy with the look, currently in the process of refinishing the rays 19s I picked up for 100.00 so there's no rush to put these on.

Got the rear fitment dialed and took my dad for a ride to stumble upon a classic car show, so of course we stopped in.

what size spacers did you use in the rear? Rear looks good.

That front bumper is starting to grow on me. Looks great in red.

Yes Inven is the style. This is duraflex which can be a PITA to mount. I wish it were FG but then again the other week when my wife hit the curb in FG it would have cracked..the Duraflex only has a big scrape. So that's goood....I guess?

dropped her off at Infiniti, my extended warranty runs up in a few months.

So far being replaced:
-Fuel pump ($400+ part)
-Power steering rack ($1,900+ part)
-Driver's side window motor ($200+ part)
-Re-seal the passenger's side axle (unsure of cost, sure labor will be a lot)
-Entire Gauge cluster (set light on cruise control doesn't turn on) (lol don't even want to take a gander)

I miss my baby.

Smart man, like the above said. Props to you for buying the extended warranty and not void the warranty either. 12 years later and still getting warranty work is awesome. I wished you could get more stuff replaced while your there. Ha. What signs came up showing the fuel pump needed replacement? Codes or noticeable performance loss

Ok, the (almost) final product following install of Fortune Auto coilovers with Swift springs and Z1 A arms.

It seems like the springs settled a bit after install, so we raised it 0.5" today to give some clearance.

The Fortune Auto coilovers are REALLY GOOD. I got the swift springs at their recommended 10k/8k ratings, however, if I were to do it again I think I would go 12/10 for a bit firmer ride.

Next up is cosmetics...but I'll take a bit of time off before then. Next year I think will be dyed carpet to black and new seats. The seats are a big problem for handling performance because the worn out bolsters provide almost no lateral support.

Entered into a show today and won my first trophy. Runner up 2 door import, not bad for my first legit show. Also, I was drooling over this Raptor that was in the booth with us. Those tires are 375mm wide, thing was so sexy. And somehow my passenger headlight is getting some condensation in it, which unfortunately ruined all the bulbs which I'm not stoked about.

Get some goretex patches for now and see if that solves your condensation issues.

Did you use new butyl when you installed the demon eyes?
