Nissan 350Z update (6/18/16)

A quick walk around of my Z after about 9 months of ownership. Small cosmetic changes, nothing major. This car isn't a "build" so I'm just making small changes over time.

I love the car man, it's beautiful. The carbon fiber touches look great. It's gonna look so sick once you get the new wheels!

[@benstoys8724]

Thanks! I don't know how long it will be before I get the new wheels, hopefully in a couple months. I'll post an unboxing once I get them.

[@steezyboi77]

+Ben's 350z awesome, you ever think about getting eyelids?

[@benstoys8724]

+Juan Angel I've thought about it. They look good, but they're so common. That's the first thing a lot of people to do their Zs. I might get them one day...but no plans to do it in the near future.

+Ben's 350z you getting another wheel

[@benstoys8724]

+Stanced G37 yeah, they actually just got delivered today. I will be posting an unboxing video soon. I plan to get them on the car next weekend.

Do you have spacers on your wheels ?

[@JamesLikesDonuts]

Dam.. if only you lived in Cali. Would've loved to buy these wheels from you, I've got the exact same car, but in silver

[@benstoys8724]

Yeah, I sold them to a guy with an RX8. My new wheels look better IMO...I haven't posted a video of them yet tho...

[@notwill1544]

What wrap is that and does it look like real carbon fiber? And do you have wheel spacers or is that the natural pole of the wheels?

[@benstoys8724]

Will Doyle its called 4D glossy carbon fiber (or something like that). I got it off eBay for around $8. It looks pretty close to carbon fiber for a wrap, but no wrap looks like true carbon fiber. I don't have any spacers...that's just the natural stance of the wheels with a 22 offset (9.5" front, 10.5" rear width)

[@trevorwipf7688]

How easy was it to wrap your interior parts?

[@benstoys8724]

Not too bad, I had never done it before. I had to do a few pieces twice before I was happy with the result, but it's easily removed and pretty forgiving so it's definitely a low risk DIY. You HAVE to have a heat gun...its a must. Just use lots of heat and be patient.

Hey, could you send a link of where you got the rear springs for the hatch? I've tried looking for them, but didn't have any luck.

[@benstoys8724]

Jay google "Z1 350z hatch struts" you can't miss them.

[@JamesLikesDonuts]

not the struts themselves, you said you replaced the springs in that plastic covering thing before the struts. I've already replaced the struts with the Z1

[@benstoys8724]

Jay they are called rear hatch springs. Here's the first set I found. conceptzperformance.com/nissan-oem-84415-cd71a-rear-hatch-lift-spring-nissan-350z-03-08-z33_p_6147.php I think I got mine off Amazon.

[@benstoys8724]

Jay BTW, they didn't help much. Don't waste your money.

[@JamesLikesDonuts]

ok thanks! I'll just try the pennies trick and see if that helps

[@dizzybeats9808]

What are those wheel specs

[@benstoys8724]

Front: 18x9.5 +22, Rear: 18x10.5 +22. Stock suspension, no fender rolling, no rubbing.

Turbo it.
