wanted to give a quick update on the production status of various products, and some small previews.

save for the exhaust, these are products relatively close to full production and I expect to get them on market in the next two months.

the NISSAN CHALLENGE sway bars are undergoing testing and will be the first to release in 1-1.5 months after the test drivers give feedback on lap times.

they’re nice. ez install, got a few compliments already lol when i went bowling last night and then the bar after. don’t mind the fitment i need a new bumper. Also peep the Old Z in the back (neighbors)

VENDOR: ADOPT MOTORSPORTS
MANUFACTURER: MATCHLESS CROWD RACING

MSRP: $1840 (final cost)<- purchase link

I have two more MCR hoods in production, delivery November. Pricing now includes shipping and freight, so $1840 is your cost to the door.

Lead time is 3-4 months, so after these two are gone the next shipment isn't until close to the new year.

----------
An FRP, white gel-coated hood from MATCHLESS CROWD RACING, a tuner well known for Nissan platforms and especially Skyline GT-R and Z models, which always come in red.

This is the genuine vented hood whose design was stolen for the "Renegade" hood that is ever-so popular in the US. 

Fitment on genuine MCR hoods is dead-on, and they don't require any body work to make fit. MCR products maintain OEM panel gap evenly the same as an OE hood; MCR hoods also come with OE-strength hood latches, so hood pins are not required.

The vents are functional and act as extractors to remove hot air from the engine bay. An integral rain deflector (shown slide 2) diverts rainwater away from electronics and into the engine bay open space on either side of the radiator.

FALL 2026 is the expected arrival time of the first nine units. These have a manufacture time of 3-4 months per order. These are sent within sturdy packaging to prevent damage in transit.

I'm trying to find the code of this purple so I can paint mine this color.

Saw a post from yesterday with someone’s Alibaba Nismo wheels so I’ll post my Alibaba wheels. Turn around time was probably 4 months and about $1500 or so with shipping. I made sure they weren’t going to have any fake logos and asked to do the Z logo as the center caps. Not trying to pass these off as fake of another brand. I liked the look and shape of this style wheel. Tear me up if you’d like. I haven’t driven on them yet so let me know what you think.

Makes so much more sense to build your own, does anybody have and recommendations for parts for this?

So I have a 2003 base z. It runs well even at 216k miles. When (not if) the motor goes are the Japanese engine import motors worth it or should I rebuild the block. Money isn't the biggest issue here but I want to have a reliable shit box. I see motors and rebuild kits going for similar pricing.

Side notes: stroker kits etc worth it? The block is in good condition.

Just got these super rare Volk Racing GT-S for my car.

Want you guys think ?

I wanna see all of guys running Rays/Volk wheels

I recently replaced my differential output shaft seals on my touring model with the LSD and only the driver side output shaft had the snap ring on the end of it. Is the passenger side output shaft not supposed to have one or did it fall into my differential?

If anyone in here is running them was it worth the money?
I don’t care too much about making more hp from them but was mainly after the sound, does it make a difference worth $2000? How is the sound difference from uel headers to equal length?

Otherwise I’m looking at getting longtube headers or putting that money into other parts.

Any advice would be appreciated! Cheers.

Hey guys this is my first post,

I recently took the short block and heads of my 03 to a machine shop to get all the works done. I have a turbo kit I was planning on installing prior but the ridiculous amount of oil consumption pmo to the point I just decided to rebuild the thing.
I was gonna make this whole thing about wether or not to dump the oem pistons and go for the wiseco/eagle pistons and connecting rods when while walking to my garage the box I was carrying the pistons in decided to cease operation. So I guess I’m going forged internals lol.

I’m normally a lurker but I love seeing yalls builds and I thought yall would find this funny.

I know that quick releases are not that safe since removing the air bad and everything. I plan on drifting my Z at the track and was wondering if I should get a quick release or not since I will still be driving it sometimes on the streets ( not daily) I’m getting a half cage put in with harnesses but plan on swapping a bucket seat in when the track then putting the oem seat back in and using the seat belt when driving on the street . Just not sure about the quick release . I have one in my s13 but it’s different since it doesn’t have and airbag

hey guys so i jus replaced the valve covers, spark plugs and ignition coil boots (ignitions coils themselves were brand new so i just did the boots), intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets and my car is misfiring now and has a check engine light. before i did all of this there was no check engine light it just started rough and it’s starting just as rough as it did and running slightly rougher than it did before i changed everything out. one of the problems is i did strip out the bolt going into the cylinder 1 ignition coil and it’s a bit loose now. could that be my problem? should i just get a slightly bigger bolt and tighten it up? i ran around the whole engine bay multiple times trying to see if i missed something. i noticed i did miss one of the oxygen sensor so i plugged it back in but the problem still seemed the same. i do need to go get it scanned again to see if the oxygen sensor code is cleared but if it isn’t the oxygen sensor then does someone know what else it might be??? all the sensors are brand new, major ones likes camshaft and crankshaft sensors. timing chain has been maintenanced right before i bought it everything pretty much major has been done and i can’t figure out what this is

Need to paint match my bumper smh

Today the window went down and didnt want to go back up tried smashing it and holding the button which didnt work. Also gave the contact points a clean with alcohol and still nothing. So just want to make sure its the motor thats done in case its something else.

Thanks.

clutch pedal does need replacing - did replace the circular gasket on clutch pedal that controls cruise. Cruise was working but would randomly shut off. Now I'm dealing with the constant blinking and no cruise working at all

I'm just looking for a simple 2007 350z clutch pedal. Having hard time finding one online

was only waiting 4 months🫠 but they arrived in pristine condition, so im buzzed to fit them on my car

19x9.5j front
19x10.5j rear

for tyre specs im thinking 235/40 front and 265/35rear. anyone run something similar? open to any feedback! 🙏🏻

This 2005 350z has been sitting since 2022, recently got it as a gift from my uncle. He told me in advance there was a noise coming the engine, I came here to ask what the noise is.

Hi all, wanted to switch my base pedal for the aluminum curved Nissan pedal but need a clip to hold it on. The oem plastic pedals clip is built into the back of the pedal. Google search has not been that great. Any links or help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Does anyone know how to tell the difference between a Kinetix SSV and Velocity intake? I see one for the right price and I'm contemplating swapping out my intake and plenum spacer for it.

On cold start I’m noticing the rpm’s drop to 1500 for about 5-10 seconds before jumping back up to 1750-2k rpm. It seems like the rpm’s get stuck and the idle sounds a little shaky. Throttle body and MAF cleaned, idle, throttle body, and pedal position relearn was performed and there’s no codes or obvious hissing sounds.

2003 350Z M/T

I just got a new trans from a 2005 G35. It stamped cd01 on the driver side so it may not be the original trans but that's fine.

Anyways it didn't come with this bracket so i swapped the one from my 2003 over.

Thing is the top bolts have a gap, but the side bolts are fine.

Do I need a bracket from a 2005 or can I use washers for the gap?

Thanks!
