After owning the car for 4 years, I have decided it's time for a build thread

In the late 2000s, I grew up with this car being owned by my neighbor across the street. I never had any interest in it, but i did think it sounded cool. About 10 years later, he still had the car and offered it to me for 12K with 44K miles on the dash in 2020. My 350z was a ticking time bomb so i went ahead and bought this car.

Looks absolutely killer, man. How are the diff, engine and trans mount changes doing for you? Any major change in the NVH?

 

Thanks, As far as the motor mounts go, NVH increased a decent amount, id say its 6/10. Noticeable vibration from a standstill and deceleration when approaching a stop (starts to vribrate at about 1.4K RPM and under). Also during acceleration, engine noise is increased inside the cabin. I also have a LWT flywheel so it chatters too. You get used to it after a while but if you don't want any extra cabin noise don't get it. For me it's worth the NVH as performance is increased ( feels planted under load ) and as far as durability it should last longer than the car. The trans mount makes the shifts crispy and i haven't noticed an increase in NVH. Maybe because the motor mounts are drowning it out.

 

Great build.
Those seat covers fit well.
