Well today was my first Brand new Genuine item purchased for the Z, and let me tell you it felt nice to give the Z some brand new lovin! I just got a passenger side window cowl, from a nissan dealer near my work, 124 bux, happy as it came with the rubber mold as well. Ide love to get some brand new molds all round next as mine are ****ed hehe. Im gonna go back there soon for the driver side cowl and im gonna try get a price list for every single replaceable part on the ZED through lol, Curious to see what it will cost. Starting my new job soon so more money can go to the Z Surprisingly the stuff seems cheaper to buy from a local dealer than buying from courtesy parts or over east though.
As in genuine OEM items? I've got a 2k bar, pass window cowl, 2k tail lights (minus center) and brazillian infill, nismo red stiched gear knob, Engine gasket kit, 200 000km service kit As for mods from genuine brands: Bride Brix 1.5 seats Stillen swaybars F+R Stillen nose panel Buddy Club P1 cast aluminium wheels
What GENUINE new items have you bought for the Z? Yes, it's a nice feeling replacing old, warn out stuff with brand spanking OEM gear. I replaced ALL weather seals/strips, in & out just to name one thing. Trying to recall everything I've replaced has already started to give me a headache.
haha just remembered my infill panel is also genuine bought from same dealer. would love to buy a bar chassis of a Z and buy everything brand new, would set you back at least 60k haha
Everything on the outside of my car is replaced with NEW stuff. Its the only way to make the car look NEW.
Mainly small bits & pieces for me and this is just what I remember without going through my receipts. They're usually added as afterthoughts to larger orders, eg. FROM COZ: OEM Key OEM Door panel clips OEM Fog Light Lenses OEM Hood Bumpers, Prop Bushing and Prop Clamps OEM caliper rebuild kit + 100k/plenum pull kit FROM COURTESY NISSAN: 732 Touch-up paint CRESTA: OEM Cowl panels OEM Inner Targa trims (with plastic handle insert) Series II PTU The main non-OEM but Z-specific new stuff: OVERSEAS: Energy Suspension Master Bushings Kit LOCALLY: Rotors from Caz, X-pipe from UAS, Chili brace, to name a few Steering rack boots (Walker's Auto One) + a 'genuine' 17" tyre pressure sticker... :rofl:
- OEM Key - OEM 'Nissan Fairlady Z' decal - OEM 2k Tail Lights - Nismo Gear Shifter More to come .. :zlove:
Most of the parts for my engine rebuild are OEM including turbo CHRAs, rings, valves, springs, bearings,oil pump, head gaskets, 200k kit, engine seal kit, water pipes, engine mounts, filters and heater core. Outside of the engine bay things tend to get aftermarket with brakes and suspension.
ive pretty much refitted my whole interior with OEM bits bar the seats. i just like that out of the showroom look latest is the OEM key which looks sick if i can get someone to cut it got a stock wheel with cruise ready to go but my crappy aftermarket wheel is being a bitch and wont let me remove without drilling the allen screws out (long story) that is all
Got a cigarette lighter cover, window cowls for both sides...everything else is aftermarket or used parts...i need to get new weather seals for the whole car as 1 of my seals are leaking and my local nissan dealers price isnt good anybody want to do a group buy on weather seals??
All the new oem stuff ive put on my Z: Manual shifter dust boot Nismo pivot stud Gearbox gasket kit Pilot bushing Rear main seal Nismo oil filter Tie rod ends Pretty sure that all the new oem gear on my car, gotta love brand spanking new nissan parts
throttle cable didnt think I'd walk in and walk out with one but as luck was riding with me that day...... $32.85 for a new throttle cable (old order that was never picked up) hate to think what it would have been had I have had to ordered one (one for the work truck last month was $148.90) mutter mutter mutter ripoffcrunts :br:
