Yeah door handles are going black... Via Equalme

Damn, nice 2014 Nismo and upgrades! It 's funny, we have two of the same cars...well almost. I too picked up a juke (SV) for daily a few months back and been circling the idea of trading my 2011 base/sport Z in for a 2014 Nismo but I haven't been able to find one in pearl white and mint condition so here I am waiting it out for one to turn up. As for cats, I would just get the hfc or test pipes anyway before getting that tune. You'd get the most power out of it. Just retain your stock cats for inspection later down the road.

Yeah the juke and the z share a lot of parts and feel for sure made a lot of sense when I did the trade.

As for the tune yeah I'm going to hold off till I trade out the OEM cats. Just sucks being in California can't buy the parts any longer with out jeopardizing the shop.

I'll figure something out.

Zbrah · 08-04-2016, 03:27 AM

Not sure what you mean...if you need a shop to install the cats you can swing by the shop I used. They did a great job on mine.

OTW Z-Boy · 08-04-2016, 03:28 AM

No cant even buy the cats from F.I. As I'm a California resident. New B.S. Law passed this year.

Zbrah · 08-04-2016, 03:39 AM

Oh wow, didn't know they passed the new law but I'm sure you'll find a way...to the classifieds!

Love the build OTW!!!

God-Speed · 08-04-2016, 09:13 AM

OTW, know the feeling well. Last year I traded my 11' Nismo in on one of the New Maxima. What the Hell was I thinking? Only had it for a couple of months and got back in a New 16' Nismo. Love the new car and the mods you have done so far look good.

CedzZ34 · 08-04-2016, 11:13 AM

Thanks for the close up pictures. Looks good, Man!!!

mults · 08-04-2016, 11:22 AM
