Mikey Thompson Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nooooo!! You've done all the things I had planned for mine! Same colour and everything hahaa, will look like I'm copying now. On a serious note though really looking forward to this coming out the 'shop, excellent taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot350 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Am going for subtle styling smooth front bumper, jdm rear, single exit exhaust and accompanied with carbon fibre front lip and side sills. Am also welding up the oem spoiler holes and running it with just a roof spoiler..... That may not be to everyone's taste :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Thompson Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm going smoothed bumper, carbon skirts and lips then I'm thinking Infiniti spats and maybe carbon rear OEM lip. What route are you going down with the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot350 Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Wheels are a bit of a secret at the moment but there 19's In a bronze colour. I'm a bit uncertain on rear spats at the moment as I'd like something carbon to match the front and sides but isn't much out there that I like really.

Mikey Thompson Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Check out the other build thread called 350z Croatia, he has the spats I'm after which can be found online in carbon. Not sure if they require any modification to fit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot350 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 So a major part of the puzzle has finally arrived after a 11 week wait..... Due to two wheels going back to the paint stage as they didn't pass quality control.... So you would expect them to be absolutely mint, well NO! One has a flat spot and have paint issues on two others so only one good wheel out of the four... Anyway here are some pictures am in the process of getting the problems sorted out. Pretty sure a wheel shouldn't have a flat on it..... Bit of paint inbetween the spokes missing Slight bit of paint around valve hole missed as well They are sorting me out a new rear wheel but the paint finishing will have to be sorted over here due to costs of sending them back and forth to the states they have offered discount which will cover all/some of the cost of this just need to get the right powdercoat code as I love this colour! Enjoy guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot350 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Small update from bodyshop as well, not in a mad rush for the paint to be finished as everything else seems to be going wrong! But the primer guide coat flatting has begun tailgate all sorted at the moment and front bumper has been primed, love the way it looks all smoothed has come out really nice!

GMballistic Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Shame about the alloy but at least they're sorting it out for you. They look great btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot350 Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Going to be a fairly long process UPS have to come and see the wheel first to see the damage then can claim for replacement. Not what I wanted after almost three month wait and not an overly cheap set of wheels..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnymonno Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Nice wheels Elliot and the colour I'm thinking of going for if I don't have Adrian's Nismo's, hope you get them sorted soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot350 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) So progress has been pretty slow over the last few weeks but the wheels are almost sorted, the colour has been matched so they can now all be refinished. Have also fitted my wheel that I got from jack at royal steering wheels, I went for dark grey alcantara all over with a grey stitch and grey strip at 12 o'clock. The underside of my corrosion free bonnet has now been painted and refitted with the rubber seals installed etc looking nice. The car will be painted this week should see some serious progress! I have also started to rent a lock up for Zeus, somewhere nice and dry and off the road only a couple of minutes from my house. Over the past week or so have been smartening it up, painted the walls White and the floor grey also installed some lights for getting the car out in the evening and nights spent tinkering. And at night with the lights on, not bad for only battery powered! Hope you guys enjoyed the update.

Elliot350 Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 So it's been along time since I've posted any progress since the bodyshop, a lot has been happening including buying my first house so the car is now going to take a bit longer to progress but never mind. Anyway on with some updates, Took the car to a local meet Moved it in to my new place which has a much better garage than what it was in before After being stored in a leaky garage before it was in massive need of a good wash, so gave it a rinse off. Sorted the garage out a little, bit of a sweep and carpet on the wall to protect my door getting in and out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
