So a few bits have been fitted, since last update, miltek exhaust is now on and the ultra racing mid brace. All the HR interior is now fitted including the coin drawer infront of the passenger, sent my steering wheel off for a full modification to look like this but with yellow accents and perforated sides350Z-re-profiled-flat-bottom-printed-leather-orange-centre-band-orange-stitching-1.jpg.ff7a96830d62960ef8f4c138ca743cb8.jpg

 

I have also stripped the spare power seats I had to get the heat pads out and I will be fitting these to my manual seats (don't like electric they too slow)

First heated seat now back in the car will do the passenger over the evenings this week so it can be fitted next weekend. Also adding a layer of sound deadening to the floor whilst the seats are out.

 

And the new steering wheel is in

Really nice to see the progress.  Im just starting mine! 

Quick question, does the door still work on tbe dash to cover the android head unit? Im considering something similar. 

 

Thanks

Hi Nik, it did on the old dash DE as this is the DE satnav Cubby, but is currently non functional in the HR dash as they are different, so it's just a stop gap until I can get the HR Nav dash peice.

So whilst the weather is not really laying on the floor friendly, been continuing on the interior, passenger seat is now heated sound deadening on the floors and roof. 

 

Have also been doing the dash kit to match the new steering wheel, still in progress and a bit of tidying up to do like straightening the stitch and tucking in round the fan but liking so far. Also been dying my headlining black but waiting for first coat to dry atm

 

Before

After

Have to say I was dubious about the kits but really good quality and easy to fit so far.

So best she has looked in a fair while, made the most of the weather and gave the replacement wings a temporary bit of paint until the replacement rear arches are fitted and get a permanent respray. Will need a polish but quite happy with that for rattle cans and a breeze.

Been a good week getting lots done now the weather has turned.

 

First picked up a Carbon Fibre N1 style spoiler

Then fitted the side window louvres

Then today did front coilovers ARB and drop links, the front H brace and the Undertray. Now for the rear.

I did realise after the photo that I needed to turn the bracket round on the leg

Some tasty bits going on, you have been busy. Bet you chuffed with the spoiler. The ride is going to feel sooooooo much better on coilovers. Had MeisterR's before and they're fab, better than BC's. Coilover socks are a nice touch too.

Yeah spoiler was a spontaneous purchase, but happy I did.

Still got the rears to do but I need the car today so they are going to have to wait, but with the coilovers and the new arb the front did seem to stick so much more, i did a lot of reading and actually choose the meisterR's over the BC's, the socks are a worthwhile purchase I thought

Your post is giving me a severe case of undercarriage envyB)

I literally just saw @Stutopia post where he removed his coilover socks after a years driving....... pristine underneath. These definitely should be more of "a thing" people should jump on :thumbs:

Unfortunately there is a lot more to go on underneath lol. Yeah I got the socks at the same time cheap investment to keep them looking good and be able to adjust them easily.

Great choice on the MeisterR coilovers, Jerricks a great guy and his products are superb. Have had them fitted to every car I've ever owned, the nismo is next! 

Thanks really impressed with them the build quality is great and the front already seems like a great improvement.
