Snyper Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 The car is a Silver 2004 Nissan 350z that I bought in June and originally turbo'd and got bored with it within a few months which is why im doing the car now. I recently purchased an 05 LS2/t56 drop out with low miles. My original plans were to drop in a PTE 78 and do a custom front mount turbo system but after taking a **** load of measurements theres simply just not enough room without cutting the rad support and moving stuff around and I refuse to do a rear mount....so gonna stick with the old nitrous setup this year:) Next year after the car has been running for a while, ill most likely cut up the front end and turbo it. I dont have alot of pictures yet(there really isnt anything to take pics of yet)..but as everything starts coming along I will add pictures. Im using the Hinson supercars swap kit along with his 1.875" long tubes into a custom exhaust ill be making. My plans for right now are just a decent size cam (238/240) a 200 shot and all supporting mods. My cars curb weight is 3188 and ill be removing a few lbs trying to get the car down to 3100 with the LS2 in(no a/c). Heres a few pic of the previous set up..and some of the new. This is how the look of the car will remain. Clean and stock. No body kits, decals, underglows, ect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyper Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Well, while waiting for my stuff to get in I decided to roll my fenders. Now you can only roll the fenders so much before you run into issues with paint cracking...however in my case I want as much room as I possibly could. So my body guy told me to just roll them and do whatever I had to do and he will go in smooth, and repaint the quater panels. So I went to town with the fender roller completely flattening the fenders. If you notice on the pics the fender sticks out a little bit past the rear bumper. Thes either going to push that part back in a little bit or pull the bumper out..with how much pressure I put on the fender roller it seemed to slightly(2-3mm) pull the fenders out and actually looks really good. When I bring it to him hes going to see if he can get a few more out of it before getting into major body work..any little bit helps. Heres the pics:**sorry for the ****ty cell phone pics** You can see how far up I folded them..I have big tires to fit back there haha Here you can see what I was talkin about with the fender being pulled out a bit.. Heres the new ass view...it looks so much better with wheels/tires that actually fill the wheel wells.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyper Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 This is the terminator of all shifters..and needs no explaination to you guys haha( I couldnt use the B&M or GMM because the arm goes up to high when going into 1st 3rd 5th and reverse..with this shiter the arm stays parallel.) I decided to convert the factory style returnless system to a full return system with an aeromotive FPR..it looks much better in there now.

EvilC Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Very very nice, I was thinking about one of these as a DD. Where in CT are you? I am right in NY. Are you a part of ctzcc.com, if not you should join and the new Z club started in NY; nyzcc.com How long was the build and estimated cost if you don't mind? Can't wait to see this in person.
