Jake4136 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) I'll start with an introduction. Im Jake, based in South East Kent, just turned 21 and this is my first Jap car So, I picked up the Zed about a month ago. Took it straight to my local dealer for a service and health check, with the book all stamped up and the problems they found/imagined sorted by myself I'm ready to start modifying. Progress isn't going to be too fast as missus is making me save for a deposit on a house...So depending on funds, living situation and how much overtime I can pick up all future mods should be completed. The car is a standard 54 plate GT in black with 43k on the clock with what I think is a retrofitted SatNav and pretty poor attempt at fitting an aux lead. First day: As it stands: (28/09/13) 370z Black Edition Alloys: Iv just ordered some Ebc yellow stuff brake pads and got some ramp time over my uncles garage next week, so the wheels and spacers will be going on the same time as I do the pads. I will also be doing the Altenator and A/C belts while im over there. So Far: Fit wheels and spacers - Done Fit belts - Done Weld up exhaust - Done Fit Ebc pads - Done Change spark plugs - Done Change oil+filters - Done Machine buff entire car HSD DT Coilovers Eibach camber arms MPSS OMP Corsica steering wheel Cobra Non-Res exhasut Future Mods: Plenum spacer HFC's/Decat Remap Coloured wheel nuts(Ordered) Window tints Touch screen double din Bucket seats If you have any comments or questions let me know as I'm new the the Jap scene and still finding me feet Thanks Jake Edit: I'll get some more photos up as soon as iv fitted the alloys =] Edited October 31, 2013 by Jake4136 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake4136 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Wow that's one serious motor you've got there Keyser! @LRF4N - I think a few people have, not seen many photos though. If iv got the spacing right and once its lowered im hoping it will look spot on. Couldn't wait till Wednesday to get her on the ramps so im going in Saturday when the garage is closed to get some work done I seriously need to get a house with a drive/garage...

Jake4136 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Nice mate they suit it well Red calipers could really set them off Red would look good but I Dont want to straight up copy the Black Edition, kinda want to go in my own direction I think. Will get some more photos on when I'm on my laptop, still using phone. Thanks for all the comments =] Edited August 29, 2013 by Jake4136 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Fair point, forgot the black edition came with red brembos. I was thinking with the red lights and against gunmetal, red calipers would look good What else you got planned then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
