GaleForce's build

kellyefields · 12-02-2012, 07:50 PM

love the look of it. If you begin to produce I may have to have one.

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

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

nice stuffs you got there man

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...

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.

LOL! at the basket!

Sweet updates! I need a 3 pod pillar. Any plans to do more?

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.

Mr&Mrs · 12-12-2012, 12:47 PM

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.
