Ok, update time:

Since the last update, the majority of the work that I have done has been interior cosmetic. I did get the TWM short shifter installed to replace the B&M and the shifts are much smoother now. As a result of that, I switched back to the Nismo CF shift knob from the PWJDM ball one. I prefer the feel of it and it matches the interior better too. I changed from the Black Chrome OEM emblems to matte black dipped emblems, fits a lot better with the theme of the car now.

Also once all the ARP studs were cut down and installed, I switched to the Project Kiks R40 Revo lug nuts with red end caps. Some minor engine bay stuff, installed the Stillen Grounding Kit in Red, and the HKS radiator cap and oil filler cap. Had the battery and clutch covers hydrodipped, but I'm not happy with how they came out, so I'll eventually be replacing them and the radiator core cover with the CF pieces. I installed the Titanium brake pad shims for the front brakes to replace the factory shims. Changed out my pads to Carbotech XP10/XP8 but after a few weeks went to XP8's all around.

For the interior, I had several parts recovered in black Alcantara by JPM coachworks, they did absolutely amazing work and I would recommend them to anyone. They did the white stitching to match the factory parts as well. Parts I had done were the shift boot, shifter ring trim, navigation surround, gauge pod hats. I will be having them do the main gauge cluster hat as well over this winter which will complete the interior work. I installed the CF tach cover and shifter trim from Carbon Signal. I also had the steering wheel redone by Tony at Carbon Fiber Element and got the CF window switch panels from him. As always, his work was outstanding. Replaced the factory vinyl kneepads with the Alcantara ones from the roadster.

Other minor things, got the Z1 SS clutch line finally added, switched Radar Detectors from the 9500ix to the Excort Redline, did the DIY cold air ducting mod for the Stillen Gen 3's. Installed a remote controlled licence plate cover as well! Also opened up the headlights to fix the area where the plastic had been melting.

I also bought a house this summer and got married, then totally finished the garage - drywall, paint, floor epoxy, cabinets, lighting and heat. Had to make a nice home for the Z! I installed some philips hue directional spotlights so I could accent the Z when it was parked, and picked up the 40th anniversary car cover. It was a busy year to say the least!

Now for the pics:

Is that a Reznor up in the corner?

Yup!

Nice! :tup:

I'm trying to find one around these parts with a sealed combustion chamber. They (Reznor) are the best from what I hear.

I have been very happy with it, takes no time to bring the garage up to a nice working temperature. I usually keep it at 7 degrees constantly unless I'm going in to work in there.

Looks good Ed! You can come help with my back garage this spring !

great update dude :tup:

Well the audio build is underway and going pretty well. I'm gonna take my time (next couple months) doing everything because, well I can lol. Thread for the audio HERE

I also removed my ZR4 jammers and installed the ALP 4 sensor ones. Turned out pretty well! Wired up an external speaker for the ALP inside the cabin opposite the speaker for my Redline radar detector. (Pics of that later, the interior is still torn apart)

Pics of the ALP installed:

I know it's been some time since the last update, lots of things happening with the audio build, but that's not all for new stuff this season...
