Lose the Ksport, they're not nicknamed KrapSports for nothing. Konig heatsinks? Maybe some Work/Volk/Rays wheels instead would make the car look very hott.
The interior looks like its aftermarket, too dark to be the stock burnt orange...but different is good.
Just giving constructive criticism

i have never heard that about k sport. but i pretty much would buy their suspension shit, not brakes. and ive heard nothing but good things about their coilovers

I'm using Ksport coilovers on the tib and I love 'em. I haven't ever heard them called "krapsports" either. But hell, they're good enough for Kumakubo and Team Orange
The Ksport coilovers are where that nickname started from...for the same money you could go with Megan or Tein Basics.
Would rather have a ride on rails smooth and controlled, not rough and bumpy like a go cart.
Their stuff is also known not to last as long as other coilover companies out there. But in that instance there were a few people out there who have had a great experience with em, and at the same time many more who haven't.
I've owned D2's which were supposed to be a step up from Ksports, quality was not the best and that's the least I could tell you. I got rid of the D2 setup within 3 months.
Ksport and D2 are the same company, and if their craftsmanship on coilovers is the same as their brakes I wouldn't trust my life with them.
Anyone can say what they want as everyone has an opinion, but just sharing my...

badass z33, wheels needa b larger, but otha than that clean!
lol all the haters on ksport. ksport and D2 brakes are mde by APracing last time i checkd
Ok and what exactly is your point?
You do know they could contract out a cheaper/inferior product. What do they care? It says KSport on them? Different materials, different assembly line or maybe different parts?
You won't find a company that will go we sell our kits for 2300+ but let's let this 'brand x' sell the same thing for 1500?

niiiice! I like the leather dash pieces.
Wheels look like teh dookie.....
Has anyone else notice that the Konig line of wheels has taken a massive sh!t in the past 3-4 years? They used to make some pretty cool stuff...before Rota was making the knock offs...Konig has some good ones... Temper-r, SubZero (yes, before the Rotas), Burner, Imagine, Caffene, MP3..... back in the day shit right there. But my God their new line of wheels suck ass.

Cause I don't live in N.Y.C no more. Me and my old business partner used to go to the Konig Long Island headquarters, and go in the office with company reps and tell them what we like and didn't like. Trust me I seen many wheels that they came out within six months to a year before they came out to the public. My buddy doesn't go by there much anymore.

Nice Z. Love the license plate.
i think it looks nice.. not a fan of the wheels.. but the car overall looks good..
are those the bumper parking lights form like the Z concept?
The rim/tire combo kills the stance..
Even if they are 18", he should have went with a 30/25 series combination for his staggered fitment, and dropped the car at least ~1" lower.
It's like "Man! Nice car!..Looks clean....but WTF is with the cheapo rims??"
When I think KONIG, I think Autozone/Pep Boys... Sorry.
350Z's deserve rims like Volk, Works, etc...
He's Gonna get some nice wheels Soon.... Damn yall hatin hard today.

i happen to like the car a lot. i just wish the wheels were 20" and a tad more aggressive on the fitment.
The color is fantastic!!! he just needs to work on the fitment. or lower it with those 18s on
i have no knowledge about KSport parts so i cant give an opinion on the calipers.
He is Planning on getting Volks here soon.
Same here. I don't see why people are hating on this car so harshly, its nice.i happen to like the car a lot. i just wish the wheels were 20" and a tad more aggressive on the fitment.

I like it. The interior is sweet. I would have gone with a slightly more aggressive wheel fitment but thats a matter of preference.
I say if he's looking into volks get some deep dish TE37s! That would rock. Hard.
And I love how people post just to say "Oh its so fucking ugly." Give me a break. This Z is more tasteful and nicer than 1/2 the cars on this board. Psh.
"I get worried when it STOPS leaking."
I agree. btw, TE37s aren't the deep dish kind.I like it. The interior is sweet. I would have gone with a slightly more aggressive wheel fitment but thats a matter of preference.

You can get them in an offset that makes them concave. Like this:I agree. btw, TE37s aren't the deep dish kind.

I think I like those even more than my WORKS Emotion XD9's I got waiting for my FD in San Diago.
