Il s'agit de ton Z a coté? J avais un 350z Nismo et j etais également sur le forum notre350z.com

Hésite pas a mettre a jour le topic!

No it's not my 350Z, it's a friend of mine. My Z was (a bit off topic):

 

[SOURCE 1]

Good looking car!

WHat was the reason for the engine build? Failure?

 

[laurent1475]

No, I've just wanted a freshly built engine so I could enjoy the drive more serenely (It's a 17 years old car) and I've wanted a little bit more power.

Next mods: headers&exhaust, new injectors,some Tein mono flex, +02 rear valence & side skirt, +02 ABS and 6 speed gearbox, plus some CF goodies.

I thought the yellow Z was yours from the other thread. Hey nice work! Car looks great. Why Tein though.... There's better stuff out there IMO.

I like the in car adjustable EDFC. But what"s best?

It's more gimmicky than useful. None of the settings seem to work great. Spend a few hundred more and get a set of German made KW V3's. You'll have a much better ride, a better damper, better high speed control. Here you go:

Thanks! it sounds good so I'll have a look at them.

Also check with AS Motorsport they are in Europe so that may be less shipping to you. Both these guys are getting you these great coilovers at really really deep discounts. Trust me it's worth the little extra cost. Good luck. Love the pics, keep them coming!

where did you car come from? btw If I were a european owner I would lean on Procar Detlef,(Germany) and As motorsports (Netherlands) for performance advice/parts.

 

[laurent1475]

Thanks for the advices and my car came from Belgium.

 

[laurent1475]

My +02 Rear lights have just arrived yesterday! still waiting on the +02 Rear valance!









Where can I get some Red acura badges?

Great rebuild. What's your IG user tag?

 

[docjohn]

who did you end up sourcing parts from?

 

[laurent1475]

who did you end up sourcing parts from?

From a member of NSXPRIME in Japan. Brand new parts and the boxes were never opened! just need to pick up the rear valance now!

@06_typeS
Sorry but I'm not a IG user.

 

[Red3ullZz]

Great!

News from the week end:

I was loosing some clutch fluid so I've change my clutch master cylinder and my clutch slave cylinder (a real pain to change). I've also swap my 18 years old inner fenders for some brand new one and it look much better!







My NA2 rear bumper waiting to go to the body shop (waiting for the type-R CF rear Diffuser)

 

[laurent1475]

My new ScienceofSpeed Clutch Damper Delete & Slave Hose Kit and my spline drive long nuts






But on the test drive I burst a coolant pipe





The state of the pipe





Not happy at all so I've order the 22 coolant hoses kit so every single pipe would be brand new.

In order as well : K&N panel filter and SS brake line

 

[NSX1145]

Looks very nice with the fresh black paint. Nice work

 

[laurent1475]

Ready for action! All the 23 coolant pipes, SS braided brake lines
