my 370 build

[matt3579]

so i brought a 370 a couple weeks back and i used to have a build thread for my old 350 so figured i would do the same with the new one.

so I brought it pretty standard well serviced no mods bar some end pipes and black wheels so a nice blank canvas for me to have a way with. 

 

at the 2 week mark so far ive gone for mishimoto intake tubes hks air filters 20 and 25mm wheel spaces carbon window louvers, wiper delete and thats about it soo far 

[matt3579]

will take some more photos of things ive done already when i have a moment but nice and clean, headlights need a polish and a bit rattly / vibration from the exhaust which i imagine is either some rusty heat shield or some polybushs needed im very happy with my purchase thus far

Also fitted audi style side repeaters that strobe the z logo 👌 I can't upload a video of it but they look awesome 

[matt3579]

As I cant upload a video this is the best I can some photos of them in action, really happy with them 👌👌😍

Nice little modification those indicator repeaters. I have them on mine. I also have short tail exhausts on which sound amazing. Looking forward to see what you do with it.

Got some photos today of the quarter window lovras nice little addition tho personally I think the 350 ones have a better look cus they fill the whole space better

Just fitted those indicators to my 350, gotta wire them in still

[matt3579]

Mishimoto short intakes photo I need to clean the engine bay up a bit, got some plans to make it a little bit more sexy too but will post that as I do it 👌

Get the Louvres on the back screen too.

New steering wheel from royal steering looks mint and feels great so much better and nice not having leather peel off in my hand when I'm driving 😅

[matt3579]

Sticking with the yellow cus I love it had to add this sticker cus I had one on my old 350z too

[matt3579]

So somewhat of a busy day painting and hydrodipping 

Got my a pillars done in carbon some more carbon in the engine bay and the yellow marbel splash is for the battery and brake fluid covers.

Will post some more photos when they are finished and fitted then it's the strut brace and engine cover to get done next 👌👌

[matt3579]

Engine cover looking nice gonna do the rest of it in carbon but this will do for now 👌👌

[matt3579]

Before and after makes a fair bit of diffrence very please with how all this has come out 

Let me know your thoughts 

[matt3579]

Few more bits getting painted now 👌👌

[matt3579]

Next steps just wait for this to dry and then I can hydro dip it all in carbon 😍

[matt3579]

Looking very sexual after a bit of clear coat just need to wait for them all to dry now and can fit back to the car tomorrow.

 

Very happy to finally be rid of the chrome door handles 😅

Very nice. I found when I did the engine cover on my 1st 370Z it didn't last too long until it reacted, however I think I didn't use high temperature paint.

I've never used high temp paint per say I always use a high build primer which to an extent is high temp but never had an issue and I've done the same on brake calipers and they held up well for 2 years till I sold the car but I assume a good few more years too 

[matt3579]

Oooo she a little bit sexy now we're getting somewhere 😍😍

[matt3579]

And finally no more chrome on the outside with the carbon dipped handles to match everything else 👌 what do you think? 

[Andy_Muxlow]

That looks great. I really like it.

I can vouch for Royal too. Had mine done 4/5 years ago. Lead times are lengthy but worth the wait.
