new member check out my ride want some feedback from other Z members

new here never posted pics of my car before, had it 5 years now. Brought it over from a japan auction with 36000kms on it its finally done now 440whp to 800whp just dial up the boost, tons of upgrades to suspension and engine taller gears in diff top speed 320kmph or 196 mph. insane fast and handling corners posted at 40kms I do at 140kms tight roads I outrun my friends on cbr 600's they can't stay with me in the turns. 9 inch rubber on the front and 11inches on the back perelli p zero's all around on 20" tsw wheels. I hope for some feedback from my fellow Z lovers, the body kitis a veilside vader kit no spoiler no badges clean lines some people go to far when they build them and I think they look dumb I hope I haven't gone to far tell me what you think.

DAMN.

Nice one man, but I'm not a fan of body kits in general on these. Sounds like a blast to drive though. How did you manage to fit 11" in the back? (HAHA)
What wheel offsets/tires are you running?

Yah the body kit just doesn't fit the z32, a lip or a 99+ jspec front end are the only ones I think look good. And wtf do you need 20 inch wheels for good god. Youre hurting handling with those, proper grip comes from mild sidewalk flex, 17" wheels is ideal.18" would work if you absolutely need to come as close to that ghetto *** dub look as possible.

No need to be so harsh man. He did ask our opinions but he didn't ask us to tell him what to/what not to like.

And did you mean sidewall?

Yah... Well let's see here, its actually a calico tabby mix, you must not have searched for more than one post otherwise you'd come across what I have, I had a 90 z32 na, and about 8 s30's. Only 3 ever became something others were parted, I had a 74 260z I did a stock turbo swap in, sold it, had a 78 280z that was a better than showroom restoration, sold that, now working on a built and fully custom turbo 76, its built so well it should be able to handle 600hp but I'm only going to tune it for 400 duuur, cause figurative numbers matter in the real world. I can foo 100 kmps faster than the speed limit on corners too, cause we all know ever corner has to have a SUGGESTED speed limit. Right? I also have an 04 CBR1000rr and a 2001 s2000. I'm planning to turbo it so it should be making 600whp, again, just staring relative and truly meaningful figurative numbers here. As for snowboard, I've been everywhere local as well as Colorado, and yes, I have done black and double black diamonds. Ive also hiked a mountain to board fresh untouched snow while in the rockies, it was fun. Unlike you though I don't use it as a method to make up for something I like. It's enjoyment for me and I have no reason to talk about it. And unless your a sponsored pro or out with some buddies hitting up some mountains, there really seems to be no need or place to talk about it other than to look more like a tool bag. Simmer down now there buddy, you asked for opinions and you got mine, taste is taste so what ruins the car completely in my eyes makes you nut your pants, who cares, but you really are killing performance with ghetto massive wheels like that.

I've also owned a 1g dsm, a s13, a 06 zx6r, thereafter another s30 in my house I've done lots of work on but isn't mine, showroom restoration, and a Toyota camry Ooooooo Omg.... I think that's about it, I could be wrong Idk. And Yah all work and restoration were done by these two hands because I'm a competent adult.

I'm actually fairly fresh out of college, I will however be an air traffic controller, so once that starts then ill actually be making money. Z33 bought for 3900 sold for 5000. Dsm bought 1800, 1000 put into it, sold for 3200, 260z bought for 1000, 500 into it, sold for 3400.280z bought for 3500, 1000 put into it, sold for 6400. S13 bought 1200 guy hit it and totaled it paid me 1200, then I parted the interior for another 1000. S2000 bought for 8800, 700 put into it required to make it worth 13000, but then I have 3000 into modifications on it. Currently just a part time delivery driver making 1600 bucks a month while trying to get hired by the faa.

wow

I'm looking at the pics but I do not see anything as discribed by you which one is better than showroom condition in this line up. standards a little low. cars I own and still have in the quanset 94 nsx 93 gtr v spec all from japan all low milage perfect condition. they are still being upgraded my z is done still have the original motor on a stand in the quanset the stage 6 has about 4000kms on it now. oh there are 3 choppers in the quanset and a 1ton harley davidson f350 lucky me won a lottery big cash. If I bought a tired z from you I would make a lawn ornement out of it and cut the roof off so the flowers have sun light. it is news to me to hear that you have tight corners on the roads out there in the tundra. sell me your car I would love to post pics of it when the flowers are in full bloom. caution when snowboarding make sure the tow rope doesn't get under the snowmobile and always have a spotter. peace out clown. here is a pic of my nsx

My god you're one sore sorry person aren't you. The grey 280z is better than show room, you must need glasses to say its sub par. Only thing it needed was the seats recovered due to a few small rips and some wear. Hey, say what you want, my reputation on here and over 8 years of activity speak enough for me and I'm sure many others would support this if they gave two ***** about your thread and cry for attention.

Did I mention I also have light moderating powers on this site and I believe this section. Looks like a pic of an max I could grab anywhere on the internet. I can provide hundreds of pic albums to support my claims. Where are you even from my friend? And is that a serious claim, you won the lottery?

Be careful Highlander, and try not to step on anybody. This is a friendly Z website. But don't be running off the mouth too much too soon. There are quite a few people on here with experience. And have been on this site for quite some time. We get along fairly well, as long as somebody can take things with a grain of salt. Relax man, and welcome to the site.

Nah u mad Bro.

You asked for opinions, that's my opinion without sugar coating it. If you don't like just say you disagree thanks for being nice about it and Yah I'd then just say but seriously, maybe that's you're taste but I don't get it and that diameter wheel is bad for performance and in my opinion also not pleasant to look at. Sure I hate what you're car looks like but its yours. But then you just go off the deep end like a child. I'm 24 years old and have more maturity and self restraint than to respond like that to some ball busting. My god.... Wah wah wah!
