Looks nice!

Had my 4 legged inspector watching me remove the front bumper.
Started to install my 34 row oil cooler.
Ran into a problem with the panel on top of the bumper.

Rusty · 02-14-2012, 11:19 PM

I had to trim (cut) the panel back some so that the oil lines could be connected and routed. And my tools of choice.

Started to route the oil lines to the filter plate. Then found it best to install the Stillen G3 cai first before routing the oil lines. As the oil lines have to pass in front of the air filters.

Got the oil lines routed. So next up was my RED START button. I did this along with my TWM short throw shifter. I figure since I have to take the console apart. I would do both at the same time. And to finish it off. I got a stainless PWJDM shift knob. God, is that thing heavy. I can use it for self-defense. LOL

The last thing I installed this week was my Z1 power steering cooler. Had pic's, but I think my 'puter ate them. As I can't find them. I still have to install my Z1 stainless clutch line. But I think I'm going to do this when my F.I. headers and CBE come in. I would have move room to work with.

Wal-mart. They're for leveling a camper. Since I have a 35fter. and use them when camping. I had a brain storm. Try them out on the Nismo. They work. Think I paid $29 for a set of 10.

Car is looking good!

The car and the garage look pretty good. Man I need to work on getting some tools and racks for mine...............

Ni55anPat · 03-02-2012, 10:37 AM

Nice info!

Rusty · 03-04-2012, 08:16 PM

Thanks guys.

Up date time. Got my new licence plate, and my tires came in. The plate does NOT spell NISMO Z. If you mail me a ticket using the NISMO Z. Some other poor soul will be getting it.

As that plate is already taken.

My tires are Mich PSS's 275/35-19 front and 325/30-19 rear. Got them from a small local dealer for a very good price. That's a 12" scale sitting across the tires to give you an idea on the width.

My rims should be here at the end of the month I hope. My complete FI exhaust should be shipped to me next week.
