Just picked her up today! She is my new DD. Other than being stock, it has 20" staggered Axis Matrix wheels (For Sale/Trade), Stillen cat-back exhaust and tinted windows. My first VQ powered Nissan!

Congrats on the "new to you" car! Got any mods planned?

Post by **2_Liter_Turbo** » Tue Dec 20, 2011 6:40 am

Nothing really. My two other cars take priority when it comes to mods, but I'm sure I'll do little things here and there with this one

First thing I'll be doing is a clutch though, as this one is still on the original one and I'm sure has little life left. Gotta look into the best bang for the buck clutch, lol. Maybe exedy or act (what I've always ran in other cars).

Nice pickup...

Thanks!

Just be careful when you replace the flywheel. The OEM is dual-mass and heavy. If you put a lightweight aftermarket one in, it will chatter.

Post by **2_Liter_Turbo** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 8:14 am

I'll probably stick with the OEM flywheel for drivability. I have a light one in my 240SX, and it lost a little drivability when I put it in.

Congrats on the score and welcome to the G forums

Took some pics on Christmas Eve down in CA. I only had time to do so in the middle of the day, so the lighting sucked. Which made the pics quite mediocre... but here they are anyways, lol.

You can replace the flywheel with a light weight one, just don't go overboard on being too light. I use the ACT 17.9lb streetlite flywheel and chatter is only slightly more over stock. The lighter you go, the worse the chatter.

For now, I'll still rock the stock one to keep cost down. Probably going to replace the clutch after my 240 is tuned (so it's out of the garage, lol).

Bought some 35th Anniv. 350Z Wheels today for fairly cheap. Tires are shot, so I have to get new ones. The tires are factory, so hopefully they still have the TPMS, ha ha. Bought them because they are more practical for daily driving than the 20s. If I can't sell the 20s, I'll just keep them for summer driving.

Post by **audtatious** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 12:59 pm

the 350z wheels are 18's, right? That's quite a change from 20's

Post by **2_Liter_Turbo** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:07 pm

Yes, they are 18s, lol. Saw pics of them on a G coupe, and I liked them. Tires will ride better, and are cheaper.

Post by **audtatious** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:54 pm

Depends on the tires but for the most part I agree.

Very clean compartment for the age. You have a nice ride there.

Installed some yellow fog lights (help a lot when it's super foggy out). Also got my "hump" style clear corners in with Polarg Hyper White bulbs in them as well as the daytime running lights.

nice pics... i think your next project should be hard wiring your radar dector or GPS that has that long wire coming from your center console to your windsheild.

I used a ATM fuse tap from radio shack, then ran the wires through my A pilar and head liner to my V1.

Post by **2_Liter_Turbo** » Mon Jan 30, 2012 3:16 pm

The car has the stuff already hardwired for a passport radar detector. Mine is a Valentine one. I haven't tested it to see if it's compatable yet though...

Post by **2_Liter_Turbo** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 6:53 pm

Finally washed the car, so I took a couple pics. Also, here are the "new" wheels. Used OEM 35th Anniversary 350Z wheels, calibrated TPMSs, and brand new Cooper RS3-A tires in the OEM sizes (18s).

Post by **Mudgen** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 7:32 pm

Very sweet. But the 2_Liter_Turbo thing throws me every time.

Post by **2_Liter_Turbo** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 8:14 pm

Lol, I've had my Sr20 powered 240 forever, hence the name

Post by **Mudgen** » Sat Mar 03, 2012 8:24 pm

And blessings on you for the loyalty, neat car. Wish I still had my '70 Datsun 2000 roadster. Had both tops.

Was walking to an ultrasound appt Thursday when one pulled out of a parking deck. To my delight, he wound it up, snapping off gears. What a raucous exhaust those things had!

Lol, I just won a set of fully adjustable sway bars from Eibach!

Post by **audtatious** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 6:12 pm

Why did you go down to 18" rims instead of staying with the axis?
