Welcome to Project Mr. K'
Thank you for stopping by and checking out the progress of my build. It has been a labor of love and it is nearing completion. Performance modifications are complete, body modification is nearing completion (parts are standing by to be put on the car and painted), Interior may get a few more tweeks but not much and finally looking for that person that can give me the perfect paint job. I am looking to do a House of Kolor Paint and yes I am staying black but would like something in maybe a pearl or metallic. I will continue to post pics on the first post once I complete something so keep checking back from time to time. All comments are welcome and if you have questions please feel free to ask. Thanks

Great build Kelley :tup:

Do you have any dyno charts? Love the red CF interior...I have the same parts :tiphat:

I do just have not copied it and posted as of yet. It did 405HP on a mustang Dyno. I would estimate about 465-475 on a dynojet

got a picture of the supercharger/engine bay all done up.

Thinking about getting some wheels?

Only if someone wants to sponsor me! Any vendors out there interested? :hello:

:driving:Nice work!

Thanks Drew. It continues to evolve but she is nearing completion. Updated some pics of the hood I created. Check them out.

As some of you may know we held the Run 9 here in Tampa Fl. It was a great event for all that attended. Lots of great prizes, good food, and great friends old and new. Here is a couple of teaser pics with just my Iphone but there were some more professional ones taken that I will upload once they are posted. As a side note there was also a car show that was being held next to our end point so I decided to enter and see what would happen. I was the only import there matched against highly modified mustangs, camaros, vettes, and the mopar faithful. My baby took Overall Best of Show in Class 2008-present Modified class. It is nice to see a V6 whipping the V8's not only on the road but also in a show where they outnumbered me 25 to 1. Here are the teaser pics I mentioned earlier, enjoy and check back for the better ones.

great car man!!!! love the mods..... :tup:

Thanks it is getting close to where I will be done and ready to buy a old Z and start doing a restro and not rush since I have this beauty for me to drive anytime I want.

Lookin good Kelly! You sneaked that SC right bye haha. Due to my medical garbage I'm off of work for a little while lOnger I'd love to meet up when your free!

I am off friday. Yeah I have tried to call you and meet up to tell you all about it. I thought you might like it.

Very nice -- I dig the silver on black accents :tup:

Dude -- come dyno at proven power in Tampa (and then please share the runfiles)!

Lookin good

I will take you up on that after the first of the year.

Beautiful build Kelly. Love how much power you ended up with. I made 390 on that same mustang and that was 455 on the dynojet, so your numbers are right on.

Congratulations on the project!

OK you have got to have the badass f'n Z, I've ever seen.

I appreciate it Raul. Thanks to you and Jason it has started to come together. a few more things and I can say she is done.

I really appreciate that. Maybe I can get on a calender shoot for next year LOL.

...... Silver front fangs..... Turned out orgasmic.... Props

Thanks I thought it would match the silver trim and wanted to do something that no one had done before.

wow :eek: never seen your car til today. and honestly its one of the best ive ever seen. now im wishing i had a black z :shakes head:

Thank you very much. :tiphat:

bro!!! nice going with the hood :tup: reminds me when i did the GTR vents on my other hood wish i never swapped....

Everyone darkens the fangs to hide them. It is cool to see them at a bright accent.

Awesome build Kelly! :tup:

How is the fit on your black Z nose badge. I had read somewhere that they didn't fit too well. Yours looks great.

Maybe that was an old version. Did it come from the Z store?

BTW - thank you for your service and sacrifices! :tup:

I had no problem with putting it on now it is not the carbon fiber one that may be the difference and yes it came from the Z store but I used some plastic dip to get the look I was looking for now that I know I like it I will have it painted if I do not decide to shave the front completely.

Thank you for your support, but I must say if it wasnt for the Corps I would probably be in Jail becasue where else can one carry a weapon, shoot people and blow stuff up and not get in trouble for it and even better being a Military Police Officer they give me a badge to boot. :tup:

love the painted fangs!!!

More pics from "The Run"

The Run” was a non-profit charity event in which all proceeds and donations went directly to this year’s chosen charity, Mary Lee's House. The non-profit charity event, started at Wesley Chapel Nissan . Mary Lee's House is a child protection and advocacy center established in 2008 to meet the needs of victims of child abuse and neglect in Hillsborough County. The Charity provides a child friendly environment for representatives from many disciplines to work together and ensure that child victims of abuse receive the services they need under one roof. The Run is an annual charity event hosted by the Z Club of Florida in Tampa Bay to celebrate the return of Nissan’s sports car, The Z. The Z was reborn in late 2002 under the new name of the 350Z. Included in the purchase this awesome vehicle was a promotional video called The Run.

The 1st “The Run” event was held in September 2003, and at this year's event they celebrated the 7th anniversary of the launch of this magnificent machine. Those who participated took part in a "Poker Run", along with a timed event that was done through a predetermined course. In their Run they route a course through Tampa Bay that was both scenic and exciting, during which all participants ensure that all traffic laws are observed. The final destination was in the side car lot at Quaker Steak & Lube, with food and a huge charity drawing with many prizes. All money that was collected from the registration fees and all drawings proceeds went to the charity.



For the last 4 years the Z Club had such an awesome turn out with 350Z, 370Z, G35 and G37 owners along with the older Z model and GT-R participated in The Run.

While driving the course, there was five stops set up at various locations. At each stop, there was a Z Club of Florida officer along with a “The Run” volunteer waiting with a deck of playing cards. Each driver was allowed to draw one and only one card which was recorded on the drivers’ card sheet. At the end of The Run, the driver with the best poker hand will won a great prize! It was not a race for the fastest time”. It was to see how accurate they were driving the predetermined course. While driving in “The Run”, each car was timed. As in previous years, The Run officers and volunteers (who did not compete in the timed event) drove the course multiple times to get an average time for which it takes to complete. This includes traffic lights, traffic conditions, obeying speed limits, etc. The participant that completed the course closest to the predetermined average (higher OR lower) won a prize!

Beautiful car, and hat tip to a fellow Floridian! :tiphat:

I guess you aren't from New Orleans? :tiphat:

:icon18:No but grew up in Matewan WVa home of the Matewan Massacre and the Hatfield and McCoy Feud. If you get a chance google it.

On the way to work tonight hit something in the road and snapped the stillen front splitter on the right hand side. I guess I need to find a solution to being lowered. Either I put back on the original springs or find something like a coilover or airbag system to raise the ride height during daily driving. I like the idea of hitting a button to raise and lower the vehicle but cannot find enough info to really get a good feeling about it. Any suggestions out there.

The Tein EDFC system is the only one I know of that's actually used... Apparently either HKS or K&W was developing one, but never heard anything more about it. I thought about getting it myself, but couldn't justify $2500 for the coils and another $2500 for just the controller. :ugh2:

yeah I saw something like this air system but really not sure if it would be worth it. I am afraid of leaks etc and causing myself more problems than just taking the time to raise and lower a set of coilovers.
