    NSM 350z Build...My 2nd 350z!

    in Member Build Projects

    Posted

    Hi guys thought I would give everyone an update, was going to wait until everything was completed but this quarantine has got me with so much free time so why not! As a lot of you know I run a detailing business and due to Covid-19 we are currently shut so what no better way then to make light of a bad situation and get my own car in for some excessive work with no tight time scale! So this is the current state of my studio :headhurt:1256507427_Photo08-04-2020163350.jpg.f1381c06d95dbb9aa7064c546ce00d14.jpg 

    Work started: 

    Full wash & decontamination

    Two Stage Paint Correction

    Bodywork breakdown, deep clean

    Replace rusted bolts/broken clips

    Re paint & re fit rear spats

    Wiper Delete

     

    Work to do:

    Wheels off, deep clean

    Plastic arch liners off (front & rear), cleaned & dressed

    Rear fender guards off (1 getting replaced 1 being stripped down and painted)

    Change plates over to private reg

     

    I will post all photos once completed!

     

    In terms of my vision for this car I've had my heart set on the Vis Racing NSM kit for a while now, so thats whats happening! It will take a while to be completed due to available funds but I'm determined to make it happen. Main thing is being realistic and not rushing as the Business comes first and always will.

     

    Here is a list of parts I will be collecting over the coming months:

     

    NSM Front Bumper

    NSM Rear Bumper

    RT Nismo V1 Side Skirts

    Evo R 370z DLRs

    Facelift OEM Headlights

    Cabon Fibre skinned B Pillars & Wing Mirrors

    Carbon Fibre V1 Nismo style Rear Wing

     

    Really excited to make this all come together in the mean time I've got plenty to do!

    Tyres for LMGT4’s

    Yeah all the good tyres are very similar price, as they say 'just buy the Michelin's bro' they seem like they are worth the money. As much as replacing all 4 is painfully expensive!

    Suzanne the LS3 6.2 V8! Caution very long build thread....

    Wow have just read through all 56 pages of this. (Think it took me 3 hours or so!) This build is legendary so many ups and downs. Result is a very unique build, absolute beast. First of its kind, so much props to you and your vision plus all the people who were involved really does sum up what this forum is about. :thumbs: Last post was over 2 years ago, do you still own the car? Any updates since last if you do?

    I'm running Goodyear Eagle F1s on my 19" LMGT4s at the moment.

    Most people on here seem to rave about Mitchelin Pilot sports (which I've never had) so I'll probably try them out next time. 

    What are the specs?

    Once I detail and ceramic coat my car I do the same, usually use the open hose method to dry most the car and then use my air force blaster to dry the rest, definitely helps the protection last longer and eliminates the chance of marring the paintwork too.

     

    Absolutely love your Z by the way :in_love:   Sunset Orange, V1 Nismo Kit & LMGT4'S - Perfect combo :teeth:

    Silver! There is a photo on the Tarmac website of a silver car with black rear spats, doesn't look right imo. Mine are colour coded 814857468_Photo06-03-2020175355.jpg.a2169a28bfbe943cb605032a9cd8af92.jpg

    Ive heard some talk about condensation too. The pic was taken right after i fitted them and washed the car, and yes there was condensation. However since then there hasn't been any. Even today where i had the wheels off cleaning the arches with a jet wash (which is right behind the headlight and has loads of gaps), they are clear. So it may have been something to do with them coming out of storage and being fitted. But i will be keeping an eye on them. 

    The thing is they are not 100% enclosed, theres a little breather hole with a u shaped pipe and filter. Im not sure if thats on the OEM ones. Will keep thread updated on it.

     

    @nissanman312 Cheers mate :thumbs:

    Oh okay that’s interesting, appreciate the reply, yea that would be good to be kept updated :)

    The V1's from RTP? Get them to fit them if that's the case, worth the trip.

    Yup, got a quote off them it’s quite expensive compared to my local Bodyshop so not sure if it’s worth it.

    Thats RT Performance, That kit will fit better than the original. I only use RT for my bodywork and spray work, theyre top notch...or were you being sarcastic lol

    If you can find them, the 3d carbon skirts are perfect, as Napp says, these fit over the existing skirt. Message RT Performance as i'm sure they do th V1 kit. Theirs will be a perfect fit. Ask for Taras.

    Yea will ask them, thanks

    I’m also looking for side skirts. Currently got similar to the 3D carbon ones. They don’t fit very well at all. Really want some V1 Nismo’s but they have discontinued them now. Struggling with finding any I like...
