Actual pics of my car once I had her in my possession and spent some quality time with her.
Previous pics were from the dealer's site.
WARNING PIC HEAVY!

And had run out of Meg Quik Detailer, only managed to clay 3 panels before it ran out. Will have to go buy some bits and finish her off next time. Probably Saturday.
Metal plate on the engine bay with smurf etched onto it. Is it just visual? or does it serve a bigger purpose?
Will it fit on a HR model and where can I get one if it can???
Hi Peeps,
Saw this on a car in one of the photos on the Grasshopper SE meet. Would really like to get one, minus the smurf though and something a bit more personal.
Thanx in advance!
Thats the ps - bhp at the fly is about 309.
The dyno graphs are taken at the hubs - hence the lesser bhp readings, but as a rough guide I would say that is about 315 at the fly.
According to Mark@Abbey, he says about 325 at the fly.
So today, I rang up Abbey Motorsport to get a Berks HFC fitted and get the UPRev tweaked to suit this change. This will take place in two weeks time.
I have been looking at a Circuit Sports Carbon Fibre Bonnet Dampers courtesy of Steve 350z (Redline Styling). These I've been told will be in stock in a couple of weeks.
Last thing I've looked at today was 35% tints on the rear windows. This hopefully will get done maybe early April.
For now that's all I have planned. Other things I really wanna do include a NISMO N1 kit, maybe N2 front bumper with splitter. But looks can come later. Depending on the existing suspension, I may wanna change that first. Will try to take the wheels off the car over the next few days so I can have a look. Oh and see if it has spacers. If not then that's definitely on the list before the window tints.
The car was bought as a 2008 350Z GT HR engine with ~34K miles.

Alright peeps. So this isn't going to be some kind of amazing expensive build, but just a record of an average guy spending some money on his car.
So this is how I bought her back on 19th January 2012. I had the biggest smile on my face. Wanted this car for the last 8 years, and when I turned 30, I decided it's about time to treat myself.
