Just wondering if they could be 3d printed

I mean technically with some of the stock centre caps letting you just pop out the nissan badges that gives you a blank canvas to stick any centre cap coverings on.

Tiny update this one. I have looked around for ages for Nismo centre caps but no-one seems to make them for the 370z alloys  (54mm off the top of my head). I did however see Nismo adhesive centre cap toppers, that were slightly larger than the centre caps.

 

So i decided to get creative, got another set of standard Nissan centre caps that looked like the Nissan badge just popped off, and it did. So i popped the nissan badges off them and then stuck the Nismo toppers onto them and popped them in to the alloys. The way the alloys are, they are fine being a little larger than the centre caps and sit perfectly. The adhesive seems strong and they shouldnt come off.

 

And so i now have Nismo centre caps...

 

Excuse the distorted picture, but this is what they look like.
 

this looks great! where did you get the cap toppers from?

Just on Ebay, and they werent expensive at all:

Also you cant really see from the pics, but they have a thin layer of metal in them so they arent flimsy at all.

Hi All, I’ve recently purchased some blank wheel centre fitting and nismo caps from eBay, not sure if they are going to fit yet as only the blank bits have arrived; here’s the links:

Drove to the end of my road on a new build estate to get some photos. Really happy with how they came out.

Completely forgot to update this thread for my latest update 

Finally went ahead a bought some 20mm spacers all round. Ive always hated how pushed in the wheels looked. And the difference now is amazing, they sit just how i want them.

Much better, always draws the eye when they sit inwards sadly. What's next? 

[ShortPaul]

Looks much better, is that a tint on the drl's

Thanks. Yeh i agree!

Next will probably be new discs and pads, so ill get some grooved and drilled discs (for aesthetics).

Damn it, thats another thing i forgot to update on here 🤦‍♂️

 

New post incoming… 😂

[davidv10]

Another update i forgot to put on here… I tinted the DRLs. I had de-chromed everything else on the car, so tinted the DRLs to get rid of the last bit and to match the headlights. I dont know why i didnt do it sooner as it looks a lot better now imo 👌

Are they hard to remove? 

[davey_83]

Much nicer and goes with the Nismo dark headlamps

No they are dead easy. Once the bumper is off they only have 2 screws and a plastic bumper clip, and then unplugging the connector. Takes 2 seconds.

So its been a long long time since i have updated this thread. I had boot lid resprayed to get rid of the scratches from removing the V2 Nismo spoiler, which had been annoying me for a while. At the same time i decided to get the rear wiper hole filled so i could get rid of the black bung. It came out perfectly and im very happy.

[ShortPaul]

Looks like a good job there mate👌

So again it was time to be impulsive and treat myself to an upgrade. After 18 months of owning my 2009 370z GT, i have now moved on to a 2015 Nismo 370z.

 

Here is my instagram account for the car: @_nismo370z_

Here is a link to my old car build project: https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/121771-my-white-370z-gt-modified/

 

 

Here is the car when i picked it up:

 

 

 

 

 

And here it is with the old car:

 

 

 

 

 

 

When me numbers come through that will be my line up. Its own Z allocated space next to the 240 and 350 😎

[davidv10]

So for my 30th birthday i thought a nice gimmicky present would be a personal number plate. Really happy with it and the short plates really suit the car 👌

 

I went for a slightly wider rear plate to fill the rear bumper section a bit more.

Really envy you having a car port.

Car protection from the sun and the rain and lots of space 

I have a small garage but it's a tight fit and a bit of a faff to shuffle cars round to get in and out so I keep our occasionally used Kia Sportage in there and park the zed on the drive unless I'm detailing or topping up the battery.

 

Ideally I'd like a car port too........or a massive double garage
