What are you doing with the Veilsides?

They are taking up space on my living room floor. I noticed some weird damage to one of the fronts (can't remember which side) - the leading edge appears to have disintegrated a bit and there is something rattling around inside the thing (which, it turns out, is apparently hollow). It's either some stones from the road or the broken outer portion itself. Luckily this is not on the carbon fiber portion, so I should be able to cut it out, remove any loose particulate from inside, then fill in the void and smooth it out.
Are you interested? PM me..

Wow. I definitely agree with others in this thread.....one of the nicest 350's I've ever seen.

Thanks fellas. Snapped a few more out in the searing heat yesterday:

Whorin' pics on a Sunday eve..

A few weeks ago I did this to my car....little too much throttle in a tight left-hander in the rain, and forgetting that traction control was turned off, equals 350z snapping a 360 into an adjacent field of mud and hay. No damage other than a bruised ego and mud caked all over the wheel wells, exhaust pipes and rear diffuser:

And today was my third and final trip to the car wash to get all the remaining mud chunks off. I found out the hard way that trying to wash the mud off in my driveway left me with a pile of mud on my driveway, which doesn't rinse off so easily.....so then I was that crazy guy that not only washes his car every weekend, but now has added driveway scrubbing to his repertoire:

haha yeah. Actually, my lowly Enthusiast model doesn't even have VDC, just TCS. But yes, when I left the house that day it was not raining and I turned off TCS, and on my way to the gym it started raining but I forgot to turn it back on. And the icing on the cake is that I had actually never driven with this set of tires in the rain before so I really had no idea how it would behave. Now I know! I definitely got lucky though....no obstructions in my way and a crapload of mud was the only result.

every time I see yours - I wish mine was black but I could not pass up the deal I got on my redline red.

Out of hibernation

There is only a handful of Z33s I really like, and good lord if this isn't one of them. Those wheels... (would look so good on my Juke lol) are just sex. I love it when I see REAL wheels on nice vehicles. Beautiful Z.

sry110 · 04-09-2014, 12:15 PM

Thanks! I feel like the Z33 scene is dried up and there is not a lot of appreciation or enthusiasm for it anymore (it's an 11 year old platform, after all!) so it's nice to get some positive feedback. Helps to keep me interested! Over the winter I was considering selling it....but it's still fun enough to drive and look at that I think I'll keep it a little while longer.

Shipman · 04-09-2014, 12:41 PM

Beautiful

Don't give it up. I'm a Z guy through and through and I happen to love the red headed step child of the Z family the most (Z31), that gets 0 respect, and I drive a modded a Juke which is probably the weirdest thing to drive, let alone mod now a days.

At least the Z33 has a platform that offers after market. Z31 owners have to Frankenstein their cars together if they want to mod it properly.
