mddrgn Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi everyone, My name is Josh and I am a 2014 Z34 Nismo (generally referred to as the V1) owner. I am currently living in Western Germany where I also purchased the car. Some specs on my car: original white / gunmetal paint scheme stock engine went thru a couple of exhausts, most notably Tomei Expreme TI with titanium Y-Pipe (to this day still my favorite, but unfortunately authorities are cracking down on illegal exhausts here) street legal custom-built HK Power exhaust from Holger Kern, basically a stainless true dual 3" with muffled h pipe and dual HKS Hi Power stainless mufflers with 30mm titanium tip set up in a JDM style angled configuration (angled to the outside and slightly up) basic cosmetic mods, including front car plate holder delete rear wiper delete I have a pretty decently outfitted garage and do most of the maintenance work myself. I would not call myself a very good mechanic, but I can get most of the easy stuff done. I am incredibly lazy, which is the biggest issue with getting stuff done (still need to change the headers on my truck 🤦♂️). I own 2 additional cars: a decently modded Genesis Coupe 3.8L V6 AT (Bilstein B14, Schmidt Revolution rims, Bastuck stainless exhaust) and a bone stock Nissan Titan LE 5.6L V8. I bought the Genesis for my wife as a daily driver, but she never drives it. I am currently trying to retrofit my Nismo to swap in original 2018 gunmetal gray JDM door handles (the cast aluminum ones). In EU/NA we only get the plastic matte silver or 2018 dark chrome handles. This turned out to be a little more difficult than anticipated (key locking cylinders ftw) and I am mainly here to source parts that I need. Thanks for having me and have a great weekend! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mddrgn Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 Thanks for the warm welcome. I realized I don’t have any recent pictures of the car. No car meets because of Covid and all… I’ll try my best to accomodate the need tho 😅 At the Nurburgring with Cosmis MRII wheels Tomei Expreme TI exhaust HK Power HKS Hi Power Stainless TItanium Tip exhaust My work truck 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I bet that exhaust sounds nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Always good to keep the oem exhaust incase. Good to see Z owners in Europe where German cars dominate. Ever got to the biggest Z meet in Europe held in Germany. Its probably been affected by Covid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mddrgn Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Quote Always good to keep the oem exhaust incase. Unfortunately the original Nismo exhaust likes to disintegrate from within from all that corrosion. Quote Good to see Z owners in Europe where German cars dominate. There is a small but significant group of JDM enthusiast in western Germany. Mostly Subaru, but I have seen some nice Silvias and Skylines. Quote Ever got to the biggest Z meet in Europe held in Germany Which one? The one at CTD? I usually stay away from Z only meets in Germany. I prefer meets with higher diversity 😉.

GranTurismoEra Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Ill find out soon enough but i saw a video... People from other countries attend...You must have your reasons. There are pros and cons to both mixed and specific car meets. I dont attend many tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
