TreeFidyZ Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Alright everyone ! So I have just recently bought my 350z in December. Can officially say I have got the Nissan bug already, Spent 2k in mods before I even had the keys in my hand😂 Got big plans for this car and I have my first drift event with it in March. Here's is a few things I have bought to date and am still waiting for some parts to arrive. Here is what the car looked like when I bought it First things I bought were a Brand new set of staggered Rota GTR-D's. Front are 18x9,5J et12 and the rears are 18x10J et12. All wrapped in Bridgestone RE002's. Front size are 235/45/18 and rears are 245/45/18 giving just a nice bit of stretch. They fit quite nicely proud of the arch with the low offset. I also ordered at the same time a full Handling pack from Driftworks including: -Front and rear Camber arms -Rear traction rods -Set of HSD Monopros Unfortunately they still haven't arrived. I am fitting pair of harnesses and harness bar also. The harness bar is made by ultra racing and my harness are having to come from the USA as I'm a pedantic **** and wanted these specific ones 😂 The harness bar will be getting colour matched with the harnesses also. Just before Christmas I bought and fitted a Cobra non-resonated exhaust which sounds really nice. . Currently also waiting for my GRIP ROYAL steering wheel set up from the states that I bought through there UK dealership. Couldn't recommend them anymore ! As you can probably tell I am going with a purple scheme and the car and wheels will also be having a respray sometime soon in black with a metallic purple flake and the wheels in purple. Can't wait to get this car how I want it and I hope you enjoy the build thread. I will try keep it updated as frequently as possible. Edited January 7, 2016 by TreeFidyZ 1 Quote
ZeppoJeff Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Love the steering wheel choice...would go with my car so nicely Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks man ! It's called Plumcrazy on chrome if you are looking at buying one. Quote
ZeppoJeff Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah I've looked at it in the past but think it may be to much purple on my car if I did. Thinking about going for a sporty yet executive interior if that makes sense Quote
davey_83 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 hit the ground running haha for me on any car IF you go aftermarket wheels, you need to go with at least an inch bigger that what is commonly seen ie the 18' RAYS. Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Yeah after I fitted them I have to say I did regret not getting 19s how ever for getting tyres from garages for drifting it's a lot easier to get 18s as there more common. Should look a lot better when the Coilovers are on Edited January 7, 2016 by TreeFidyZ Quote
Rich260 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) As you say mate, once them coilovers are on I reckon the 18" GTR-D's will look awesome. Love the bronze colour to, good choice! Edited January 7, 2016 by Rich260 Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Cheers rich ! How do you find this group ? I have only just joined a few days ago. Everyone usually nice and polite and helpful ? Quote
Rich260 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 They're a very knowledgeable bunch and it's good to see two side to the modding on here, those that go for the performance/ drivability and those that "stance" the hell out of the Z and do some cool stuff for the show side. Being based on the Isle of Man it would be rude for you not to go for performance! I've only had my Z a few months and the site has been already been invaluable in helping me make decisions on what to do and what not to do with it. Keep up the good work! Quote
Richie_k83 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Subscribed..! I have already brought a few parts for mine and dont even own one yet...! Lol I had the Rota GTR's on my Supra, not a bad looking wheel Hoping to drift mine too when i get it, will be following with interest...! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 Ah that's good to know then. Nothing worse than a bunch of judgemental tyre kickers in a forum. 😂 I suppose living on the Isle of Man does have its upsides with the no speed limit. It will be being modified so I can use it as my daily and for when there's a drift event on I can have a play too. Just need my parts to hurry up and arrive ! 1 Quote
veilside z Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 There may be a few on here, just haven't seen the thread yet Nice mods by the way Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Got home today after work and some goodies from the States have arrive ! Very happy with them and the build quality feels great! Well worth the money and would recommend Cipher Harnesses. Can't wait to get my harness bar colour matched and get them in ! Edited January 8, 2016 by TreeFidyZ Quote
ZeppoJeff Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 So so nice. How much did ur wheel + accessories cost? Also the harnesses Quote
Mj86 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Erm, I don't know if anyone noticed this, but what up with your gearbox? Why is it in reverse or 6th gear? Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 In reverse I think, The gearbox is fine 😂 Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Only a little thing done today but every little helps. Finally changed my reg over to a cherished number. Couldn't get a 350z one unfortunately but 350N (Nissan) is close enough. Eventually the reg plate will be getting moved when the car is sprayed but looks good for now ! Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) UPDATE: More stuff arrived today from the US of A and I'm over the moon with them. Grip Royal steering wheel set up in Plum Crazy on Chrome😠Quickly built it up so you could see what it's going to look like 👌 That purple when the light hits it 😠Chrome is also great quality 👌 All being well should hopefully have it fitted this weekend !

dougie350 Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Great start man, the driftworks hadling pack is a must!! just make sure driftworks have given you the updated rose joints for the front camber arms..... if they havent then they will send you the replacements for free if you send the old ones back! Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks man ! Yeah been told that by a few mates. Hopefully they will as my Coilovers are on back order till end of Jan so they won't be sending out any of my arms out untill then either. Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 16, 2016 Author Posted January 16, 2016 The wheel is on and it looks great! Love it ! 😠1 Quote
dougie350 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 sweeeeet! i do like those grip royals! Quote
TreeFidyZ Posted January 16, 2016 Author Posted January 16, 2016 Yeah man just wanted something different as everyone over here runs a Nardi wheel. Don't get me wrong they are a loverly wheel but I always like to be Abit different👌 Quote
