I picked this up bout 1.5 weeks ago..

2003 350z Touring 6MT







Here are the parts already on their way for the car

Work Equip 01
18x9 front +20 offset
18x10.5 rear +23 offset



JWT Popcharger


Data Systems/Illusion replica abs lip



Tein S-techs w/oem shocks (bought from another forum user on my350z)


im still deciding on an exhaust, but im pretty sure ill get the single exit JIC Spartan Type-1 or Apexi N1 dual Im also waiting for more Varis cf air-ducts to become available, and ill order one of those too.

anyhoo... thought id share whats in store for the new car.. this list of mods will pretty much sum it up for a long while, with the exception of maybe more exhaust parts, and side skirts.

Newplay1

Hey you sure about the trim/touring model? I thought all touring came with leather and power seats. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks..

Pac-Man

that IS leather.. lol. Power /heated leather seats.

Got the wheels in today.. really fast shipping! i was expecting them monday. Anyhow.. i bougt the wheels used through one of my contacts.. and the guy selling them said only one of the wheels had very light scuffs on them. When they got here.... 2 wheels were scuffed.. and one curbed all the way around. Pissed me the hell off.. but i got a good deal, so i didnt complain. Ill just get em fixed. Anyhow.. here are some pix i took tonight.

ps. yes the car is dirty.. its raining tomorrow so i didnt wanna wash it. I also installed my JWT popcharger tonight, now just waiting on my springs and my front lip and new bumper goes to paint monday






dont mind my baby deagle... when you work on a car in the middle of the night, in the bad part of town.. you gotta keep it real.. lol.







thats it for now.. i know i need a drop bad.. just waiting on the springs to come in like i said.

Nice man... i want a G35/350Z before... but my parents won't let me get a coupe~~

Is the price good on the second hand 350Z though?

spyguyTSX

Tein S-techs w/oem shocks??? Those shocks look pretty old. Why not do it right and put on some better shocks at the same time?

loulinjai

just a quick question, kinda off topic, how'd u get 324whp on a civic sedan? im just kinda interested. Have fun with your new toy

Pac-Man

the shocks only have 15k miles.. when the S-techs only lower the car a little more than half an inch, i see no real advantage in buying aftermarket shocks. I dont track my car, or race it at all for that matter. Im just a spirited highway driver Id rather wait to buy a nice set of full coilovers later.

the same way, you get it outta any other civic.. engine swap, big fuel system, custom turbo kit, and great tuning.


the used 350z are pretty decent in price, i got mine for 19k.

and the camera i was using is a sony DSC-V3

Pac-Man

the same way, you get it outta any other civic.. engine swap, big fuel system, custom turbo kit, and great tuning.

Looks good! Always wanted a 350z as a weekend car.
Do you own some sort of speed shop?

CCColtsicehockey

Nice car man. I love those work wheels on it.

you already want to get rid of the tsx. jdm tsx > jdm 350z

Tell you the truth, i never wanted to get the TSX, or a sedan, but parent issues, saying me getting a powerful coupe = race and death...hahaha. b/c of the way i used to drive.....

but, i've always kinda wanna get rid of the TSX, that's why i am modding so slowly...hahahha~

Pac-Man

driving both on a regular basis.. the tsx is more comfy.. but not by much. obviously there is the performance aspect of the Z over the tsx, that pretty much makes it a deciding factor. I was looking into a tsx at the time i bought this, but since my girl has one (the reason i even post here.. hehe) i decided to go with the Z, and im loving it to death. Out of all the cars ive owned, i could honestly say this is my 2nd favorite, my first being my beloved 3rd gen rx7s.

RMATIC09

sick car, not really a fan of the interior though.

RMATIC09

ya but jDm 350z smokes the shit out of a TSX.

Pac-Man

no doubt they are both sexy ass cars... but the tsx is more of a cruiser than a racer.. hehe. here is a picture of my girlfriends car for reference



aint that a sexy bitch? lol

idreamofsleep

nice choice in wheels for the Z

97AcuraCL

dont like it; shoulda got an s2000

Pac-Man

i dont fit in an S2000... besides.. verts are for chicks and girly men. lol

psteng19

Love the car.
Not a fan of the Work wheels though. The spokes seem too thin IMO.

Pac-Man

installed the springs... not much of a drop since the car is already low and i didnt wanna bottom out my front lip all the time. Once i get a little taller tire, it should help the gap a lil.

Springs are Tein S-Tech, so its only like a .70 inch drop up front and a .60 inch drop in the back. Hopefully once they settle down some, it will be a little lower. Here are some pix....

I still can't get past the door handles. My friend is a designer or Nissan in San Diego, and the handles you see are NOT what they designed. It was a horrible cost compromise that make them all ill to this day.

The Z looks great. How do you like the shifter? I don't think it would feel right in my hand.

Pac-Man

shifter feels great, probably one of the best out of all the cars ive owned. Very short throw for stock. VERY.
