Must have been a design change. My bends are much closer to the Steeda logo. Haha I did the exact same thing! Thankfully it hit the floor, so no added time, just a minor 2 second heart attack.

CURSE THAT INFERNAL BUTTON!

I added a MBRP cat back exhaust system.

Drove home for lunch and replaced the leaking rear shocks, Rock Auto had the best price. Not a bad leak, but I don't want to see any leak from my shocks, especially at 25K miles!

686 Shooter · Oct 19, 2022

Added Putco LED's in the rear signal, back up, and license plate lamps. Also added these. I think they look great.

Drove it to work, drove it to Sam's, WalMart & Costco, then home. Riveting stuff, I know.

As someone who owns a 2020, and has seen the ExST scene evolve from scratch, I remember when the man, the myth, the legend, Brett from FenFab was the only one making parts for this truck. So, it felt a little wrong that I didn't have any FenFab parts. Well that changed today! I threw on his ECU Cover in an attempt to further de-ugly this spaghetti-monster of an engine bay. And in an effort to dress-up my dress-up parts, I used titanium bolts and washers (same style as used on my strut tower brace) and added a badge from one of my dream cars. Added a little spice to the black cover and ties in with the red AFE badge on the CAI. Points if you know where this badge is from! Next is re-wrapping that wire loom next to the cover.

Thinking Nissan twin turbo maybe lol

Yep, RB26. The badge from the 300ZX looks identical but it about 5 times this size.

Boss240 · Oct 20, 2022

Nice I immediately thought Skyline lol

TMac · Oct 20, 2022

One of my favorite cars, my '94 twin-turbo. Believe it or not, I also owned a '95 supra turbo. This was the better car.

TMac · Oct 20, 2022

I had to sell the zx due to an unfortunate business setback. I also had a '95 supra. Both unmodified, low mileage and perfect. Honestly, I miss the Z more than the supra- except for the prices the supra commands now!

Sorry to go off-topic- just shedding a tear!

MikeyP · Oct 20, 2022

@TMac not surprising, seems like the Z32 was the favorite of the Japanese sports cars in contemporary reviews. Gorgeous car you had.

Chamorro85 · Oct 21, 2022

Love those old Z's. Very clean and not a color i've seen in person.

Thats ford shocks for ya. Had to replace my7 2015 F150 shocks at 25k because of leaks. Just like you not bad but still. Luckily Bilstein had replacements. Much better ride IMHO.

You might want to move that wire harness that is to the left of the ECU cover. I had my cover on for a few months and it started to rub through the insulation on a couple wires. I moved the harness connecter to the left just a little and now it doesn't rub.

MikeyP · Oct 21, 2022

@Cajun Heat Thanks for the heads up, will do! I was also going to rewrap it so it doesn't look like my 4 year old wired this car.
