Hands Up all the Aussies

[cainen]

HKS coilovers on the water and bound for my proto next month. There are much cheaper options locally but trying to keep it fully JDM.

Long time not posting in here as I sold my Z back in August last year when they announced the NISMO was coming.

Was lucky to get an early allocation, and all going to plan, I will be posting a photo of it Friday. Feel like I've been pretty lucky in ordering, getting amongst the first allocations both times... Maybe because I chose Black????

Great setup. One of each. How do you like the Nismo?

The nismo is great. Definately a level above the Proto which is what you pay for I suppose. Happy with it all in all, the only disappointment is the exhaust, you think they could put the Nismo spec on it for the price. Also nismo intakes wouldn't go astray. The handling, brakes, power, tyres, wheels, transmission and seats are awesome though. Worth the money in my opinion at least.

Nice. I agree its good value for money. I had an order on a Proto, but dropped it for a NISMO in white like yours. Then the Auto only was confirmed and I just grabbed a standard Z in black.

I've changed the suspension and exhaust already and the car is night and day better.

I would love to compare a standard manual z against a nismo. Would be so fun and interesting.

What kind of suspension did you go with?

BC Racing DS-DS

Highly recommend. Unless you want softer ride

FYI these cheap LEDs make a great replacement for the crappy stock map lights. I believe they also fit the light in the boot aswell.

Lit up door sills.... with the Z. Thoughts on where to get them from?

I've given other Z's a wave and flashed the lights with zero response or recognition. Some people are just oblivious.

Having said that a guy was giving me the thumbs up once (in a commodore no less) and by the time I released what was happening I was too slow to react. He probably thought I was oblivious too I guess.

Wife found this in Kmart

blue only.

but for 5$ not a bad little thing.

I was just after a bit more sound from the exhaust too. I don't need a performance gain just yet.
I had looked at the Takeda axleback/muffler delete.
I saw some others on FB just had them made locally.
So I got my local exhaust shop to knock some up. They came out beautifully. Add a good amount of sound without being crazy and look great.
Worked out about half the price of the Takeda pipes.

I’m about to see about getting some of these make up. Did the shop fit new hangers for the pipes or were they not needed?

So curious other than myself who is still waiting on their order?

There seems to be so many available for sale it's surprising anyone is still waiting. What spec did you order again?
