October? Why not September? Anyway, I say OEM CHRAs.

Whoops, I see now. I didn't realize voting had started for September.

[jschrauwen]

-SS Bolt Kit (engine and engine bay)
-Rad Air Guide
-Adjustable End Links Fr & Rr (for Stillen Sway Bars)
-52" SS Clutch line
-99/00 Spec Rear Spoiler
-Rear Hatch Shade Spoiler
-SpeedyRacer SS Engine Belley Pan
-Bulk package set of T-Bolt clamps (TT & NA), (SMIC & FMIC)
-A DOUBLE DIN FACE PLATE that doesn't have to come from half away around the world for those wishing to use a CarPC or a straight forward Doublr Din HU. Also to include a Double Din metal mounting box/brackets.
-Headlight insert overlays in chrome or charcoal black (similar to the 99/00 spec Xenon type)
-Chrome interior door handles and door handle cups

[jirosj]

Good point on Double Din. But after seeing this (http://twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=techni cal&msg_id=1011556) install I don't really want to buy a finished piece.

[jschrauwen]

Good point on Double Din. But after seeing this (http://twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=techni cal&msg_id=1011556) install I don't really want to buy a finished piece. Nice link - bookmarked. :)
It's a nice job but I would have made the face plate angled in the same angle as the single din would go. In other words, not flush or parallel with the outside face of the faceplate. The angle would reduce potential glare and provide somewhat a little bit of shade over the display.
I was thinking if they could get a group buy on the ones similar to what Funkysi has;
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v434/simon_parsons/?action=view&current=DSCF0303.flv
Notice the natural angle of the mounting area for the face of the Double Din HU.
http://www.300zxclub.com/showthread.php?t=122082
If there could be an ample supply of these brought over or contracted to be made here, would be great. Having a pre-made affordable Double Din faceplate would probably promote more owners switching over to a Double Din system. If only to incorporate a GPS and Bluetooth capability on top of the routine ICE requirements.

[1911a1]

Has anyone considered an "Engine Rebuild Bundle"
(all the parts required to do the basic build and addtl options for higher HP builds)
A complete parts list for the basic or advanced rebuild.

[z32turboMO]

1911a1 i love the idea.

not sure how itd turn out, i'd be voting on that if it came about as an option.

that or..

Wings West Side Skirts
AMS Adjustable Upper Arms
Stillen Service Cover
or even a Fluid Change Pack

where it comes with the needed filters, assorted Oils for our Trannys, Diffs, and Engines...

just my .02

OH!, and you can't forget the blinker fluid!

[silvermagma]

Hmm... alot of these were really good. I would personally love to see something in the way of:


Fluid Change Pack ^^^ That sounds really nice since I just started my swap. Some nice Engine Oil, MT/AT Fluid, Rear Diff Oil, Filters, the Option for Additives and Brands (Redline/AMS Oil/RP) I could keep it for later =]
F+R Strut Bars
The 3 Gauge DIN Mount
Water Injection +99 (God knows I need it out here in Vegas)
Fuel Tuning Solutions (APEXi SAFC Neo, AEM UEGO Wideband Sensor

Does anyone know of Transmission rebuild kits for the Z's? I know a lot of us complain about grinding and crappy shifts and I know I could personally use new gears and synchros... Is there a kit that we could GB on, possibly one that includes the JDM synchros instead? I've been attempting to look into it, but with no luck. I AM cheap as I know rebuild kits are close to nothing when compared to a transmission purchase such as the ones from Z1.

[Tylerw1]

E-Fan.

would also like to add this to the equation

i'm pretty sure everyone either has done this or needs to...

[livin4boost]

My tires are low, I'd love some early 90's air! :D

Seriously though-

99 ionicdynamics spoiler

Good call on the wiring harness! I'd be in for two transmission harnesses (Manual) and two battery cable harnesses. I don't need EFI harnesses though... And a new TT fuel pump would be nice. The one I just installed was pretty dry so it probably won't last... Good thing I have an FPG :)

[tomekr2k]

99 J spec facia !!! or double din...........that would be nice

[SuparexTT]

engine rebuild kit.
engine harness.
300degree rails without injectors.

[jlag]

How about a polished upper intake plenum ?

[SDB300ZX]

How about a polished upper intake plenum ?

I am with you on that one :)

[jirosj]

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v434/simon_parsons/?action=view&current=DSCF0303.flv

I agree, this one looks terrific. Is it exactly the same as for LHD models? There is no orientation towards left or right, is there?
I'm starting to ponder on some exhaust or MSP Manifolds... Money on the horizon ;)

[coolcesitar]

Twin turbo:
upgraded clutch/flywheel
Jdm bumper / escort bumper
Koyo Radiator
2 pc rotors
moldings
water injection

Add:

Blitz SBC ID SPEC R

[silvermagma]

I change my vote:

850cc Fuel Injector Kit with 300 Degree Fuel Rails
Or some other set...
Just an overall make an injector set combo pack....

Everyone always needs injectors at a better price!

[biabia]

Last month (maybe the money before) was the injector+300 degree fuel rail group buy... you missed it :(

[EricTTZ]

Chrome Plenum

[SuparexTT]

i saw the 300degree bundle. I don't want Nismo's ;)

[dirt114]

polished plenum is asthetics... if your spending money for that its a waste weather its on sale or not. tranny rebuild kit is hugey needed for most. thats my top vote

[jschrauwen]

I change my vote:

850cc Fuel Injector Kit with 300 Degree Fuel Rails
Or some other set...
Just an overall make an injector set combo pack....

Everyone always needs injectors at a better price!Don't need 300 degree fuel rail for the PE850's. The newer oem fuel rail will suffice and it's supposed to be a direct fit.

[99specZ32]

Don't need 300 degree fuel rail for the PE850's. The newer oem fuel rail will suffice and it's supposed to be a direct fit.



only if you have a new style lower plenum or machined early style plenum actually John

which means pulling the front of the engine apart to remove for replacment or machining. which makes the 300 degree setup more convenient as far as install goes

[canyoncarver]

mmmm ...... Slicktop roof moldings?

[TnkrsToyCo]

^^^yeah well good luck on that.

[biabia]

mmmm ...... Slicktop roof moldings?

You have at least two people ready to buy now ;)

[treese88]

Besides water injection I would be all over AMZ stage II turbos or gt525 turbos :)

[Z_pilot]

99 Fascia
Door and Glass moldings
Kaminari side skirts
Engine Dress Up pieces

[JCbrezzySI32]

99 Fascia

Would that mean that Vuk used a newer style lower plenum on mine or did he machine my original one. So that's what's needed to use the the PE850's with a new oem fuel rail.

[ARA300ZX]

I vote for Z1 SMIC kit... That was an awesome deal, and I am still kicking myself from missing it.

This flip out screen deal is for the birds.Definitely would be something I'd jump on and something that's a little different from the usual is nice for a change. Especially something that's fairly rare in the first place.

[FASTMAN]

Z1 Performance brake package with 13" front rotor upgrade - $648
