Alright, I haven't posted in a while b/c I ran into an issue when I went to get an alignment... 2 bad hub bearings. I've driven it about 3k miles since most of this, car runs really well.
Updates: I found some used hubs that were cheaper than buying bearings and having them pressed in (rear), front's aren't replaceable. When I went to pull the front hub that was bad... it had seized to the spindle. Fucking pain in the dick. Car sat for a good while through all this... waited for the hubs to come, yada yada yada.
Here's the front hub I pulled off (notice the missing piece):
Put the two good hubs on:
In the front, I put adjustable tension arms:
Rear, I got some traction arms for cheap:
I had vibrations since the previous owner didn't put hubcentric rings on w/ the new wheels... grabbed some and all of them are gone. Much better to drive now.
After everything was put on, put the tires on and went and got an alignment (2 actually, and I need another) and here is how it sits now:
Valve cover gasket was bad, and needed replacing. Did all that nonsense:
Super tight JDM gasket:
Done:
Got a good deal on a suede steering wheel, so I put a hub on and installed it:
Painted the grill:
Put 6000k hids in... stock lights blow (couldn't get the color to show up in a pic, oh well):
Here's how the z looks now that I lowered it (needs an alignment now though... camber is way off):
Some rolling shots from the cruise:

Yeah, luckily I'm perfectly fine. I didn't see it coming either... Never been in an accident, and I used to DD my 350z which has twice as much power. 
Oh well, shit happens.

Not going to be able to realistically. I got super lucky on that one, and I didn't carry collision since it was so cheap. Probably going to take the money I do get from parts and put it towards the z.

Where is the car located? I might be able to help you get it down or up here to Tampa.
