Well guys ive finally deceided since i have some time off to make a build / progress thread for the Z

 

its been through a few changes over the 3 years ive had it and still has a few more to go

 

ENJOY !!

 

I bought the car from a forum member (Sarnie..chief resident spammer ...lol)

its a 2003 Kuro Black GT UK spec

GT Spec, Alzean heated leather, Bose sound system, Cruise controls

 

100_0855.jpg

 

My first mod, a shiney Nismo cat back ehaust system :band:

 

100_0879.jpg

 

K&N Typhoon industion kit, complete with air duct behind bumper grill for extra cold air :thumbs:

 

100_0913.jpg

 

Ok, so after buying the car i realised that black wasnt the colour for me, i hadnt planned on it but it was time for a colour change.

but then that got my mind thinking....might as well throw a body kit in for good measure :lol:

 

100_0904.jpg

 

After shopping around i bought my favorite kit, Full Shine Amuse kit, front bumper , rear lip and side skirts.

also my favorite spoiler the Nismo V2 with carbon fibre blade

 

100_0919.jpg

 

Time for prep..i decided i would like the side wing badges flushed out along with the radio antenna to keep things looking smooth :thumbs:

 

100_0921.jpg

 

The car was totally stripped of all seals and glass ready for painting

 

100_0934.jpg

 

Due to it being a black car the engine was left in to save a lot of hassle, a black engine bay look good on a green car ;)

 

100_0939.jpg

 

body all primed and doors shuts painted ready for the big spray :yahoo: ....man those seats look horrible now :yuck:

 

100_0941.jpg
