Voodoo Vix's Black Magic Project
Voodoo Vix's Black Magic Project
Since buying the 350z back in April this year, I've added a few extra goodies, I've been meaning to do a thread for a while but everytime I go to start one I buy something else, so now I'm laying low on modding to save up for coilovers etc. I thought now would be the best time to start.
So when I brought her home in April she already had tinted windows, HKS induction kit and a Nismo brushed aluminium gear knob.

Seeing as she has the Supra as her garage buddy, it was hardly going to stay like that for long so ...
Mike bought me my first mod on ebay - Richbrook Tax Disc Holder

Although the Zed has 18" alloys, due to the depth of the arches they seemed to get a little lost
![[Image: IMAG0156.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMAG0156.jpg)
so I bought 20mm hubcentric spacers from MW Tech Racing, to improve her stance ...

With Japfest only a week away, we tried to smarten her up a bit for her first show. The silver panel in the rear strut brace (can't find a pic) was scuffed and scratched so, out came the Ford Purple Velvet paint
![[Image: IMG_1420.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_1420.jpg)
The silver "Z" didn't look right, so that was sprayed black

![[Image: IMG_1423.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_1423.jpg)
In June I had a BIG birthday so Mike treated me to some carbon goodies that I wanted
Engine Cover and Cooling Plate
![[Image: IMG_1639.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_1639.jpg)
Engine Cover fitted and Mike being Mike, he polished up the bolts too
![[Image: IMG_1979.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_1979.jpg)
Cooling Plate now fitted too
![[Image: IMG_1980.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_1980.jpg)
Now, I hadn't planned on getting these so soon but due to P15ULT (on the Zed forum) doing a big part out for his 3rd project on the same car, I couldn't pass up the opportunity especially as they are not easy to get hold of!
Envy Polished Coolant and Power Steering Tanks
![[Image: IMG_1613.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_1613.jpg)
All fitted

More to come so bear with me

As always, the cat has to make sure all parts are in the box before we are allowed near it lol

![[Image: IMG_2211.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_2211.jpg)
Bizzarely I have no pics or vids of it fitted
Now one think I had wanted to do since buying the car but not had a chance to was to get the plenum and throttle body polished,
so off it came
![[Image: IMG_2219.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_2219.jpg)
And a week later, it was back
![[Image: IMG_2240.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_2240.jpg)
Now, with the engine bay coming along nicely I thought it was about time I got a nice oil cap, so I bought a Nismo one from EPRacing
![[Image: 2643.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/2643.jpg)
![[Image: IMG_2277.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_2277.jpg)
You will see in the above pic that the OEM airbox is back on and this was due to heat soak issues, as it now didn't "go" with the look of the engine bay, I bought a new AEM short ram induction kit
![[Image: IMG_2425.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_2425.jpg)
![[Image: IMG_2424.jpg]](http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h415/groover1986/IMG_2424.jpg)
The cooling plate was off in these pics but we have tested the induction kit with it on and there seems to be no more heat soak issues so its highly like that the HKS filter just needed changing (as it was fine without the cooling plate just didn't always get enough air to it when it was on).
I'm getting a cold air feed to go behind the grill in the bumper to guide the air up to the duct into the engine bay to aid the flow and then the cooling plate can go back on :biggrin:
Well that's it for now but no doubt there'll be some little additions along the way before the big ones start lol :thumbup1:

23-07-2018, 02:29 PM #2So into July and I wanted more grunt from the exhaust, as I'm impatient and wanted one there and then I decided to go for a cheaper option exhaust to see how I get on rather than buying a loud expensive one and it being a waste or a quiet one and it being too quiet so, I decided on the (very) loud Japspeed K1, now this exhaust isn't for everyone, it is loud and I'm not sure I could even live with it as a daily drive but seeing as I only use the car once a week its fine for me (at the moment!!)

and I love the sound it makes very quiet on idle but a monster when you rev it
