Talk me out of painting my Nismo...or NOT?

NYBladeZ · 01-19-2010, 07:40 PM

I had bayspeed aero make me a one off engine cover, I just wanted a cf piece no real design or anything. They have the mold for it I'm sure with a little tweaking they could make you a cover.

NYBladeZ · 01-19-2010, 07:42 PM

hmm after seeing it done, I wonder how it would look if I got my doors, roof, a pillars, and rear quarters in flat black....first things first, TURBO

Sorry about the road rash, that sucks. Do you have any pix of the gixxer? Sounds sick.

Can't find any digital ones, I know this is jimmy rigged but here's a pic of it at the Laguna Seca Booth I rented when my shop was open...its a pic of a pic so hard to make out. Spiegler 8 piston brakes with cast iron rotors, ohlins suspension, marchesini wheels, all Ti bolts, carbon body and tank. I'll try and find some nice pics as these are from the framed one off my wall.

Also, grills are all dry and painted, hood looks way better. Met a guy today that's going to make me SMALL carbon mirrors and try to keep them electric. Going to take a few weeks but sounds promising. Stock mirrors are still too large for my taste and block too much of my view.

PS. Bought this plate from a guy on the board, can't use it for the street but if the car goes to a show it would be pretty neat to put on the car. (Thanks for the quick shipping!)

Sorry, pics are poor qty...

motoextreme · 01-20-2010, 12:26 AM

I'm embarrased I put those pics up, have all my bikes and cars on floppy's but need to get them converted (yes...I'm old) HAHA

dont care i don't have a nismo, i'm stealing that plate at the next meet.

lol...i'm looking for places to make me some mirrors too, if they come out good can you get me a set?

motoextreme · 01-20-2010, 12:47 AM

Most certainly. I'm having him make a bunch of stuff that I want but can't find....if it works out then good for all of us. Give me some time but wish us luck, stay tuned!

PS. I've decided I'm going to take this car to the next level. You're right Andrew, guess I'm not done

...do i even dare to ask? twin turbo? turns into bumblebee????

schrute · 01-20-2010, 01:03 AM

Thanks for the pix - nice bike for sure! Sorry it went down...

The hood vent grills look good. Nice work. Are you going to do another color pinstripe or leave it as is?

motoextreme · 01-20-2010, 01:05 AM

I'm not telling, I want to see how they come out first. Kind of reminds me of a certain person off the board and a headlight mod he was keeping secret..haha.

Here's the thing.. I need to have a bunch of custom parts made to get this SR20 motor to go into my roadster and add a turbo to it (1900 lbs and 350 HP should be fun) so the fabricator insists he can do some Z stuff for me too.

I'm going to build a street/track car out of this little roadster so I can run with KillerBee, should have it done by summer and I expect he can run some parts for my nismo in the next 6-8 weeks...stay tuned my friend.

motoextreme · 01-20-2010, 01:26 AM

I'm going to ask them to try a black pinstripe to hide the ridge, if it looks silly then I'll leave it as is. I'm not too worried about it.

I'm also having this rear speaker box thing redone, its too heavy and bothers me. Waste of $ I know but this thing is way heavier then I thought, going with fiberglass this time.

Reaper42 · 01-20-2010, 03:19 AM

So I remember seeing those Aspec plates in an old Super Street magazine that featured the orange Zele 370z on the cover (before I bought my Z) And now that I have one I wanted to go an order that plate. But going to Aspec's website, they have 30 different vanity plates (each $45 a pop), and placed an order, and it told me my credit card was declined, then tried my 2 other cards, ALL declined. Then I realized the site didnt look like it was updated in 2 years, so I googled another site that carried it, found it, but it too was given me the same credit card decline. Positive my card works just fine so I mightve just gotten scammed. Anywho I found a site that makes replica japan plates for only $29 a piece, and with these you can customize them to say anything (like true vanity plates). Anyone think it would be a good idea to get a group buy of plates? Or maybe I should just start a new thread letting everyone know where they can get em? Cause they would be great to put on our cars for meets.

This is the nastiest thing I've seen. So awesome. So jealous.
