Aftermarket parts for the Z

[brizzyy]

I'll be keeping my eye on this thread as i too am keen to know.
The only "mod" I've done so far is getting rid of that ugly ass front number plate Plinth.
It's from Flow Brackets.... not cheap, but a really nice fix and i was too lazy to create something myself.

I will probably end up doing that in a few weeks after I finish other work on my car if I don't find anything online- was hoping to find a random ebay/temu link for exactly what I want- the silver parts of the Nissan emblem blacked out

Hey have you still got this on? I was just looking at them a few days ago.
I was planning on 3D Printing something but if these are high quality, I might just save myself the hassle.

I bought one myself and it works great! the bracket from memory is metal, but the bracket holders for the plate themselves are 3d printed, so theoretically you could design something but this quality was pretty flawless

Agreed, I do like it, but you could likely print something up and buy just the plate holder

I figured they were from the video on their site. Thanks for that!
I'll have a tinker next weekend, and see what I can come up with.

Found these gunmetal and red badges on yaj, not sure if they are custom painted or not from the listing.

unfortunately not on the air intake, i got the AMS intake but from the US which with the exchange rate and shipping ended up costing close to 1k, almost unreasonable, i want a bigger heat exchanger but cant justify like 1k shipped and thats just supplied, dont even get me started on exhausts haha,... the only dilemma Im having is sourcing anything aftermarket or upgradeable parts for here in Aus..... if anyone knows any suppliers or vendors here in aus, there could be a gold mine for them!

I ended up just getting a custom exhaust built locally. Cost around the same as the invidia one floating around, a lot cheaper than some of the other ones. catback 3" x-pipe to 4.5" black tips. resonators/mufflers. Sounds good, and will sound even better once i install the down/dump pipes i bought from TMR. Really opens up the exhaust and can hear the gear shifts.

Sorry shouldve added to that! 1k AUD, while isnt a huge cost, all thats in the AMS intake kit/box is a couple of pods, some silicone tubing, and the pod intake boxes.

I do think the kit looks sick, quite pricey for just a few parts haha!

Ohhh interesting! A mate suggested the same thing, but was curious what sizes and set up would be best! that helps heaps! thanks!
Do you have any photos by chance?
Assuming you went SS?
