A small update.

I've been looking for the proper mesh to fill in the spaces on the rear bumper. Well, I was doing some laundry and noticed my wife had a new basket in the laundry room to hold supplies. I took some quick measurements then got to work... shhh... don't tell my wife...

Think she'll notice what I did with the basket?

Now I need to paint the mesh pieces black and I'll be good to go :tup:

The A-pillar is on hold. I had a design change and needed to order an additional part from Nissan. The part isn't scheduled to hit Toronto until Dec 21, then it needs to get shipped to me. Hopefully I can get it before the new year.

I also received my latest order today...

Evcs:yum: nice stuffs you got there man :tup:

Anyway, do you by any chance can replicate the single pod but fabricating it by following the right side's A pillar? I'm interested on those pod but my Z is a RHD..

Thanks!

I started reading through the manual for the EVC-s and noticed it's similar to setting up the PID systems I learned about while in college... Ugh... :rofl2: I'm not sure about the connection between the surge tank and the fuel regulator, other than that, the installation looks straight forward.

RHD cars...
Yes, building a pod for the right side A-pillar is something that can be done. Wait till you see what I have in store for my A-pillar. I think you'll like it. :tup:

I can/will do them by request. Keep in mind, this is not a cheap option. They are one-off pieces built to order, whatever you want done can be done as long as if there is the physical space to do it.

If cost is a factor, a cheaper (and still nice) option would invovle using universal gauge pods and mould them to the a-pillar.

Maybe... But I did do laundry. That should even things out. :tup:

Mr&Mrs 12-12-2012 11:47 AM

The ones I have now Dave put in and are super clean. Yet they still do not look like a factory item. If I get time I will try and take a picture tonight.

Cool, I would like to see how it turned out.

The part I ordered from Nissan is to make my pod look more factory. I should have thought about it before I started doing the work, now I have to "undo" some of it. Oh, well. It's going to look great once it's done.

Only if the mesh is held in with duct tape!
