Nissan Z Canadian discussion (owners or soon to be!)

Got her home! Roads pretty dry, above freezing. Couldn't have asked for a better day for it

I'm sure it's possible, is there any extra modules or anything that go with the 9"? If it's just the head unit, I'm sure it'd be a direct swap

I'm guessing it would need to be the '24 model to get wireless AA/CP, going have to wait a couple years to be able to find one to buy.

Wasting no time lmao. Carbon engine cover/radiator air guide, front lip and side skirts, got the badge on the rear. Did the led map lights and hatch lamp.

Love that you wasted no time! Big difference with the LED map and hatch lights?

It's crazy the difference just those make, gives it such a more modern feeling inside lol no idea why they went halogen to begin with other than to save a few cents

Which front lip is that? I was thinking of getting a cf one

It's the Z1 front lip. I really liked the subtle design

Ah yeah looks clean! How was duties from Z1, i really want some stuff but still waiting for driving season. Buynowjapan was really generous to me i asked them to lower fees for taxes and duties and they really killed it, i only paid 36cad in duties and taxes

Haha oh it's bad. I haven't got the bill from FedEx yet, the side skirts and lip came in at like 2700 with shipping and converting, very tough pill to swallow there. Assuming FedEx is gonna nail me for at least another couple hundred

Got the intakes buttoned up yesterday and installed the Mishimoto oil catch can. The intakes were a bit of a fun time. Like others. Unclipping the stock boxes from the tube was a bit of a fun time. Only other issue I had was on the passenger side I had a bit of trouble with the provided intake tube and the angle of the crankcase breather tube. It kept wanting to kink the rubber line, and it's no fun wiggling things around down there haha. Other than that fairly smooth install. Also throwing up a couple photos of the exhaust install my dealer sent me.

It was actually super easy compared to the intakes haha. The instructions from Mishimoto said to unhook and flip over the drivers side intercooler. The paper was like. Simply pull towards and lift up.. I tried and tried, that was not happening. I managed to unhook the pcv line on both ends and snake it out from under the intake manifold without removing the intercooler, new line was just fed in, with the help of some needle nose, was able to fish and pull it the rest of the way through and hooked it up no problem. Little lube on the new hoses and they slid right onto the barbs easy
