Hello and welcome to my build thread!

In February of this year I picked up my 350z as a 21st birthday present to myself as a kid of the need for speed era this was my dream ever since 2003. I had previously owned a 2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost and that was my gateway drug into the world of modifications and amateur car detailing. 

This is meant that the first thing I needed to do was give the car a complete detox and get it back to the cleanliness I would hope to maintain throughout my ownership of the car.

This then meant that it was time to embark on my journey into modifying this car. Usually even I would have thought of a final form of a car or an end result but with this I’m just so in love with every different style and direction that others have selected for their Zeds that I just can’t figure out what direction I want to take things myself.

However, after talking to Mike at Walton Motorsport I decided on some Cosmos XT206R wheels and accompanying Tein Flex Z suspension on his personal recommendation. I picked the wheels up in an 18x9.5 sizing and ordered some Superforma 22mm spacers for the front wheels to fit around the large Brembo calipers up front. This meant I was running +10 offset in the back and a fairly aggressive -12 offset in the front. After a heavy impact with a curb I had the car at the garage to get a new wishbone arm and the coilovers fitted. After a quick trip to get the wheel alignment done I was ready for Japfest this past weekend and beginning my adventure with this car after sits first couple of mods.

I hope this build build thread will be able to inspire maybe even one person as many others have done for me and I will aim to post updates every time something new is going on with this big pile of potential  

Thanks all for the welcomes, also wondering if anyone would recommend any other shows whether they might be national or local (To Buckinghamshire)? 

Hi there, I joined these forums a while ago to browse a few pages before buying a 350z. I have now owned my 2007 model for 3 months and took it to its first show yesterday at Japfest (was located in the individual display area). Would love to get involved more with the club and start a build thread too for anyone who is interested. So far it’s got Cosmis XT206R wheels all round and Tein Flex Z coilovers too.
