hdskull's Magnetic Black Z
 
Just purchased some new parts, and it's time to start a my own journal!

Purchased a Magnetic Black Base 6MT Z July of 2010, since then, I've added a few parts to it.

One interesting thing about my car is that it's ran every single set of stock rims, from 18" to Nismo to 40th to sports package Rays.

Interior
  • Kenwood DDX616 Headunit
  • Polk DB6501 Component Speakers

Exterior
  • Sports package rear spoiler
  • eBay backup camera
  • LED parking light and license plate lights
  • Llumar ATC 20 (23% tint side and back), 70% tint on windshield

Suspension/Wheels/Tires

Intake/Exhaust

Many thanks to Scott@Relentless Autosports, Lou@Amplified, kevin1985912, ilive2win, and anyone else who's helped me out :)

Fast Intentions exhaust installed
 
The fitment of the Fast Intentions exhaust is absolutely dead on/perfect. Sits perfectly flush with the rear bumper. I have to thank Scott @ Relentless Autosports for installing my exhaust with such short notice. I brought the car in before my final exam, and Scott dropped me off at school. Once I was done with my exam, he was already done with the exhaust install! Perfect customer service ftw! Thanks Scott! :tup:

I power the exhaust brought feels awesome, and the exhaust note is fantastic! There is no drone at cruising speed, and the exhaust is actually really quiet if I am just driving around casually (shifting at 2~3k RPM). The exhaust really opens up when I reach 4500RPM, and screams all the way until red line! Love it! :D

STi-R clear lens and painted headlight housing
 
This past weekend, I finally got to paint my headlights! This is something I've always wanted to do because the headlights stand out to much against the black color of the car. I originally wanted to paint the housing Nissan color code K11 gunmetal, but I was unable to get the paint in time, so I went with another gunmetal color that Kragen/O'Reilly's carried in store. It came out slightly lighter than I would've liked, but it will do for now :)

^The wall is not perfectly flat here, there are parts that are concave, so it might look like there are ridges..


In the process of painting the housing, my friend also installed STi-R clear lens for my projectors. I've always been envious of his ZKW clear lens/TL projector combo, and now I finally have a nice cutoff of my own!

Here are some quick garage pictures

Good choice on the housing color. Cutoff is nice!

mr_sk 09-19-2011 09:19 PM

You're killing it w/this build! One of my favorite on the site, keep it going.

Headlights look awesome and stance on the SSR is perfect. Nice work man!
Would love to see some video of the car in motion ...
