Wasn't so much today as it was over the holiday weekend, but I installed simple this trickle charger cable for use over the winter when the car doesn't get driven much.

 

Nice. I saw a lithium battery that has a shutoff when the battery only has enough to charge. Unfortunately it is $600

I forgot to mention that my Infiniti dealer had nicer used cars than the New ones. C63s, R8, Bentley, S7, C43, Heavily Modified Jeeps. They had better cars than their Audi store on the other side.

 

Last week was in the 60's but now it looks like mother nature has decided that it's time to take the summer tires off.

 

Installed illuminated sill kit, purchased from fellow member iCrap.
Love it!

 

Oh yeah, that looks good.

 

Thank you kindly, Sir!

 

Ordered a new dead pedal and mounting clips.

 

Hey, could you follow up on that somewhere with details when you swap please? My dead pedal is pooh, and this little project has been on my list for years.

 

No problem, I usually get down to business and forget the before and during pictures. Just got an email that dead pedal is backordered so I am not sure when the parts will arrive

 

I've asked before with no response - does anyone make a metal dead pedal or other substantially stronger assembly than styrofoam? For the Z perhaps?

 

New seats and strut bar.

 

Dose are purdy

 

Got some new wheels put on. I got an amazing deal on these, $300 plus shipping, because the guy I bought them from had them on his NSX which he just used in promotional videos for Superspeed, so he didn't even use the wheels anymore.

Superspeed RF03RR in titanium finish
18x8.5 +35 front, weight 18.3lbs
18x9.5 +38 rear, weight 18.9lbs

They are made to clear big brakes, but these still barely clear the sport akebonos, it's only a few mm but it's just enough.

Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 235/45/18 and 255/40/18. I will probably get wider tires when it's time for them to be replaced, but for now I'm using my old tire setup from my stock sport wheels.

I know I need a drop. I'm planning to go with 370z pre-2016 nismo springs to drop it about .5", I'm not interested in going much lower. Now onto some pics!

 

Took the rear wheels off to see if one was a coupe and the other convertible, which might explain the alignment weirdness. But nope, both coupe wheels with 45mm offsets. Since I had them off, went ahead and installed the rear Hotchkiss bar. MUCH easier with the FI catback than the stock unit I'm pretty sure - about 15 minutes.

BUT, I think I need new ramps to put the rear of the car up again... (no I didn't get under it in this way, used the ramps to get the jack under the pumpkin).

 

That looks really sharp and should look even better with a mild drop. Very functional setup!

Question regarding Nismo springs. Why are you planning on doing pre 2016 springs, what is the benefit? Do you have any pictures of anyone running the Nismo springs? Any idea how different the spring rates are?
