My windows haven't been working in months and yesterday I finally took the time to fix it. I had suspected it was due to a broken ground wire in the driver's side rubber boot at the door hinge and it turned out the ground wire was broken plus an additional pink wire with a blue stripe. Fixed both wires and the windows work again. Today I gave her a wash, clay, and wax. Finished just in time for a quick golden hour shot.

 

Lookin good out there guys! Glad to see everyone tinkering and enjoying these bad boys.

 

I washed it today.

 

My buddy came through to work on his new (to him) Audi S3 and he gifted me a little lamin-x for my fog lights. I'm feelin it!

 

Picked up some new wheels from a 350z 35th anniversary edition and had new continental tires installed and fitted. Really enjoying the upgrade from 16" to 18".

 

I love the wheels. The car looks familiar to me for some reason?

You have really improved the looks of your car with those wheels. I know since I have the same one's. Now the next step, get rid of those Nissan center caps. "V" put on to making the change and boy did it make the difference. If he doesn't chime in let me know and I will let you know how.
What size tires are you running?

The 350z wheels are honestly the best looking 'cheap' wheels you can get for these cars. Hands down best bang for buck. I got a thread somewhere with the lexus caps that i made for my wheels. In my particular case, the wheels actually didn't come with caps so i had to buy both sets, since yours do have the OEM caps you could sand off or pry off (depending on how they are made) the nissan emblems, paint them with a color that matches your wheels and then attach the lexus emblems on there. There are dozens of different ways of doing it.

here is the thread for your reference: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...ther-cars.html

 

Now that "V" has given you the instructions on the caps that will make all the difference in the world. It will give you a little more pride in your ride.

I've always loved the SC and 350z wheel combo!
My old SC400 and my latest SC400

 

Threw on the Tanabe springs and KYB struts that the previous owner bought but never installed until I can swing some Fortune Auto 500's. Supposed to net 1.2" drop in front and .9" rear but currently only seeing about half of those amounts. Maybe they will settle some with driving. Front struts were shot, they had zero rebound when compressing.
Still polishing on the lips of the SSR's while waiting on the faces to come back from powder. New tires on standby once the wheels are back together, 275/30/19 and 245/35/19.

 

I was torn between the FA and KW coils when I was getting my suspension. I'm super happy with the KW ride and the 2 way adjustability so I wanted to mention that as an option for your research. Good luck and post some pics!

 

Pics will come once I get the wheels back and assembled. These Tanabes ride like stock, I just wish they dropped it more. The rear will actually be about spot on with the 275's but the front is still going to have more gap than I like.

 

Shorted the battery to the power steering reservoir and caused yet-to-be-determined, but most likely unfathomable damage.

Got this car a couple weeks ago and am having a blast trying to fix it. I started a new thread for what I thought was the theft deterrent ecu problems, but am now in a boat load more.

Woohoo!

This is me, broken down and hiding my shame.

 

I've been there more times than I can count over all the years of project cars! Most recently my wife had to tow me home with my Tacoma after hitting a bump and finally tearing through my driver's side harness in the wheel well haha.
