Just as I finished the last post the UPS truck pulled up with another round of goodies for the GT-R.  Four brand-new Toyo Proxes T1R tires in sizes 285/30/ZR20 and 315/25/ZR20 arrived to compliment the 20″ HRE one-off wheels.  Mounting and balancing is currently underway.  Also in the latest delivery was a set of bright red Status Racing seats and mounting hardware.  The seats are made of a tightly woven material and have large side bolsters with provisions for 6pt. harnesses.  Check out the pictures.

We got back to the shop early this morning and are jumping right back into it.  No rain will hold us down!!  The rear LED side markers and front clear corners are in, the rear bumper has been re-installed with the new carbon lower, the exhaust is fully on the car with only the final tip fitment to be determined, and the front struts are out and being prepped for the coil over kit.  It’s gonna be an awesome day.  Check back soon.

Working late at the shop.   Here is a teaser pick that I took while the rear was off the car.   The stock exhaust is on the car here, but not any more!!  Stay tuned.

Z Car Garage has begun the transformation of it’s first customer GT-R for a SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show booth which takes place next week.  Work was started immediately because the car needs to be detailed and on a trailer for the show by Saturday morning.   The car will be under a full assault of modifications over the next 48 hours so the Z Car crew has a couple of sleepless nights ahead of them!

The GT-R will be receiving a full compliment of carbon accents: side skirts, front bumper insert, front splitter, side vents, and the rear lower valence panel.  The TOP SECRET coil over kit that will be used keeps the standard Bilstein struts and the driver adjustable suspension.   Next is the full titanium exhaust system with a stainless steel cat-delete mid-pipe; I will get some more info on the manufacturer and specs.   Also, there is a one off set of HRE wheels that was made specially for this car, I will need to wait for the go ahead to show pics of these because they are supposed to premier at SEMA.  The entire set up is truly a thing of beauty.

There will be more pictures and info as the week comes to a close
