Finally picked up the Z saturday afternoon.

 

As you can see no skirts or rear bumper as first planned but after actually buying them it was worked out alot more work than I thought to fit them. So I have sold them and got all the stone gaurd taken off instead. One day maybe go for the SE skirts.

 

So it was -

 

99 spec front

vented bonnet

H/L panel smoothed

rear wiper smoothed

stone gaurd smoothed

new wheels

new number plate.

 

Hope you like it.

There will be more pics when the sun is shining!

 

 

 

 

 

looks great mate!

 

agree on the manual conversion..make it drive as well as it looks! :D :D :D

looks lovely james - you made the right choice - keep it simple.

 

have you thought about changing the red reflectors on the side of your rear bumper to clear?

 

Regards,

 

alex

Thanks again everyone. I'm pleased you like it.

 

Alex........they are on the way!!

Yeah Great car :) start modifying it now. ah and if u do another horizontal vent between the 2 and between the fan and the engine i think i would look more impresive and u'll have much better cooling

Start modifying it?????? You mean engine wise? Interior? Both are sorted with more goodies than you can shake a stick at.

 

Not putting anymore vents in, I want it pretty subtle. Anyway the whole bonnet would have to be painted again!

Yes engine wise... what do u got?

Mods are -

 

Full stainless (cats out) exhaust

Blitz induction

Greddy Profec boost controller

Switchable ecu (on the way)

Aftermarket I/C's

HKS bov's

Seperate oil cooler for auto box

Grounding kit

Stainless slam panel

Hard pipes........+ engine dress up parts, not going to list all!

 

When it comes to components, its easier to say what I haven't replaced. 9/10 they were working fine but I replaced with new anyway-

 

Heater matrix

PTU

AFM

TPS

Temp sensors

Injector & coilpack connectors

radiator

viscous fan and coupling

fuel pressure reg

battery

starter motor

elec fan

 

New OEM shocks

AVO progressive springs

poly bushes

Brembo discs

Porterfield pads

 

INTEROR

SPARCO steering wheel & pedals

Silver clocks with chrome speedo rings

double pod A-pillar

Stainless door sills/scuffs

silver console

custom mats

Sony mini disc

 

......I'm getting bored but you get the idea.....its quite modded! LOL.

Yes engine wise... what do u got?

 

Prob as far as I will go now.......it starts getting expensive! 555's would be nice but can't ever see me getting new tubs.

 

Mine will go BANG now!

Then it's time to work on your turbos ofcourse it depends wether the power satisfy you if so your car is finished :)

Well I haven't got the boost controller set up yet. I reckon that power will do me for a while. With my slightly bigger I/C's I would like to run a safe 15psi, maybe more if I needed to for a short burst.

You can get 555cc injectors at very good prices u dont have to buy nismo which they are a little bit more expensive from the other. All Japanese brands injectors HKS,Apexi,Nismo,Border,Pe.... are all manufacture by Nippon Denso

Thanks again everyone. I'm pleased you like it.

 

Alex........they are on the way!!

 

ah ha - great minds think alike

Thats a very nice looking car.

 

I'm pleased for you and know what it feels like, because mines been in the body shop for a eight months. Took these the other day . I'm looking for a second hand bonnett that I can put large inverted luvers in, but that can wait.

Looking good Marc, lovely colour.

 

I saw a bonnet for sale on here the other day. Did you spot that?

Bonnet is a great idea and changes the appear of the z a lot. I'm trying to find someone to do me 1 similiar to the pic below, but the small vents will be in the sides. It's similiar to the border but this 1 is better, i dont know why the 1 made for the z is completely different design but i think it's bacause the s15 it's a new model
