Figure I might as well start one of these for the Z.

-1992 300zx, 123,XXX miles.

I’m sure some remember my BS ordeal with this car but everything is finally back on track again. I took the Z to GearheadNY and Jason and Pete were awesome with diagnosing my steering issues. Big thanks to both of them, I’m definitely taking the Z back for more work.

My mods/upgrades as it sits:

Suspension-  
KYB AGX adjustable shocks  
Eibach Prokit Springs  
New Swaybar endlinks  
Powertrix Adjustable tension rods  
300 degree camber shims  
Energy Suspension swaybar bushings

Interior-  
Polk Speakers  
JVC DVD Headunit  
Ipod connect/charger  
'99 JDM Red Stitch boots and shift knob

Exterior-  
Stillen GTZ TT Lip

Engine Bay/Performance-  
JWT Intake  
Black Polished intake pipes  
Painted Throttle cable cover  
AMZ Short Throw Shifter w/bronze bushings

Planned Mods:

HKS HiPower Dual exhaust  
Fresh Third Brake Light Strip  
'99 J-Spec Taillights  
J-Spec Black Turn Signals  
Staggered wheel setup. 10.5" rear, 9.5" front  
Adjustable UCA’s front and rear  
Adjustable toe arms rear  
Component speakers/one 10" sub/AMP  
Chrome Guage Rings  
HID Short beams  
Pop-Up DVD Head Unit with GPS

And thats pretty much it for now. It just needs a new battery, inner tierods, belts/pulleys, power steering rack and the lip painted to be 100%

Z wouldn’t start today temporarily…I think my starter is taking a shit too ☹

I tried to start it two times and it grinded, fired up 3rd try.

Saving up some money for some lightweight pulleys and belts too though. Stock pulley weight is 15.6lb, AMS is 2.5lb :clap

Hmm do you know they’re interchangeable? I gotta inspect the starter and alternator when I do my pulleys. If my starter needs replacing I’ll probably hit you up for one of yours lol

Usually I’d say don’t listen to ricer ^ but keep the lip black…makes the rest of the car “pop”.

Thanks guys!

The lip would probably still be sitting in my garage right now if Pete didn’t point out the other day how good it looks unpainted. haha I still plan on painting it body color though. It looks sweet head on but its too obtrusive from the sides. I’ll post a side pic tomorrow to show you guys what I mean.

Black looks a little too out of place for my liking.

Btw, I’m going to finally be looking at wheels as soon as I get my steering/belts and pulleys done. Throw me some suggestions!
