To what? The meet-up? You're like a girl with a prom dress, I swear...

In other news, after today's truly brutal 21*F weather, the forecast for the next 10 days is for temps in the 40's and 50's, including tomorrow, where it's expected to be in the mid 40's by mid-day. Winter is officially over (in my mind). So... tomorrow is The Day. I'm putting the Vossens on the car tomorrow.

Should be fun. I haven't swapped wheels in my garage in about three years. Fortunately, any monkey with a torque wrench and a hydraulic jack can swap wheels. And I'm just the right middle-aged monkey to do it.

 

I can't keep up with your mods... haha

I look forward to seeing them on your car. I was on the fence whether I liked the design of the wheels (not that it matters since its your car) but I definitely look forward to seeing them in person.

 

Can't wait to see the new shoes on the car, Man. Enjoy the new look!

 

That's pretty good, I wonder if you could find it at another nissan online parts place that sometimes has those 20% off deals

A lot of exciting mods coming down the pipe w/ you guys, look forward to all the details & pics of your big meet, gotta live vicariously through you guys during this, would be so fun to be there, jelly belly

But dammit, I look pretty in the dress! I've been trying to get this paint work done since December so it will be good to close the loop on that at least.

That's great news John, looking forward to seeing the photos of it all coming together. Enjoy that first moment go putting them on and some reflection, make sure you have that smile!

 

Nice find!

If I'm going to keep this car for more than 3-4 years I'll want to replace the shocks at least. Something like this or Koni shocks are the leading candidates.

 

It was our intrepid moderator who found that info. So thanks to Newt. And I'm of the same mind, where the suspension upgrade is one of the last things done to this car. I already have the Sport suspension, and that coupled with aftermarket sways and PSS is pretty fantastic as is. So NISMO 370Z springs & struts (or coilovers) goes on my list for 2018.

2018... LOL@myself on that one.

BTW, I was out driving last night, and the changes from the RHFC are still very much noticeable. Whatever the New Normal is with these cats, it's going to be a while before that settles in, because I'm still keenly aware of the difference. Which is cool.

 

Those babies will get deeper and louder for a few thousand miles. My cats just sound great after 4K mi.

 

No, I was referring to the changes to power delivery in different gears and under full load. I'm really appreciating the cats as a power mod. But because these are the resonated cats, and matched to the OEM catback, any changes to exhaust tone are almost non-existent. They're there, but just barely. However, GTK that might change, but I'm not expecting it to.

The added power, though, that's nice. Liking that more and more.

 

Expecting pictures of the Vossens mounted no later than noon, Rochester.

 

This just clicked, apparently I was really tired earlier... I am looking forward to the meet but I'm getting closer to getting the car largely where I envisioned it (in my head) when I started down this path. Hopefully I'm getting it right.

Now, where are the Vossen pics???

 

I've got work to do (because job), and errands to run with the wife... but before the day is out, certainly. I'm so sick of putting this off because of winter.

Truth be told, I'm more jazzed up about getting these snows off the car and having 4 brand new PSS to drive on, than I am seeing the rims.

Well... 50:50, maybe.

 

I think i'll hold on to the car for a bit, only giving it 4 months isn't fair. Plus i ordered some wheels for it and a friend of mine is trying to get me a good deal on an Accuair setup.
Wheels are 6-8 week wait so i'll be rolling my stock 18's for the meet lol.
Would love to get some spacers for it but eh whatever...

Rochester I wanna see those Vossen's too, that's probably my fave Vossen wheel...

 

50:50 sounds about right
This winter has been a bit nuts for certain. I thought by now I would have been able to get summer tires on but the weather here hasn't really cooperated either. No snow but low temps. Looks like one more under 40 morning and that should be it. I hope.

If you're on FB you could reach out for Adam Race Consulting, his prices seemed pretty good. My 18s are coming off today as are the spacers (assuming all the calculations wee correct) as long as I have clearance I don't think I'll be running them again. Mind you, I've been wrong before...

I dunno, I loved the car immediately. Some nuanced items that "would be nice if different" but overall it works for me. I drove a Q50 yesterday and will probably be in one for three or four days in the next couple weeks. Was a nice car in some areas but not at all in others. At least IMO but I know there's other threads for that convo
