DatsunFTW · 07-03-2015, 05:04 PM

DatsunFTW · 07-25-2015, 04:16 PM

Also painted my covers satin black and painted some caps and such in gold. Did not want to go crazy with the gold so instead I made it an accent. Picture makes it look flat for some reason

Yesterday I replaced the brake pads with some fresh Hawk HPS as well as flushed the system and replaced my fluid with some mad Motul 660.

Also rerouted my ducts to the front brakes. Going back to the dragon August 8th-10th so we need to be ready!

DatsunFTW · 07-25-2015, 04:17 PM

Thursday I also put on my fresh lip from Aerojacket

zdreams · 09-08-2015, 04:05 PM

Any updates with this beautiful car Lol

DatsunFTW · 09-08-2015, 06:02 PM

Quite a bit actually! haha let me copy and paste from the other forum.

DatsunFTW · 09-08-2015, 06:03 PM

Been a bit of time but just a few updates. I returned to the dragon a couple of weeks ago and had an absolute blast once again! I think I pushed it to the absolute limits this time. I seriously can not wait to do some more mods for that extra handling and power capability! The underside of the brand new front spoiler I got, not more than a week before the trip, was completely shaved down to the fibers haha!

A little exhaust action at the Fontana Dam.

We camped out there for 2 days. There was no one there besides us! So we had a really fun time. No service or internet the whole weekend! Pump up the volume!

So on our way back. Literally pulling off the freeway exit, a cheeky ****head raccoon ran in front of me. 8 hour drive and it had to happen right before getting home..

So after dealing with loads of issues with my radiator overflow tank and a lot of coolant everywhere... I only recently fixed the issue. The frame was fine, everything else was alright in the end but boy I REALLY need to get to the paint shop. My insurance will screw me over if I go through them.. so I also need to reconsider them. That will be done soon and probably will get the hood repainted in the process for prices cheaper than my deductible

Yesterday I also noticed that my headlights went out while driving at night... pulled them off and noticed that they were completely waterlogged and the ballasts were soaked.. So now time for new headlights... I am quite the lucky guy am I right?

Got myself a cheap 100 dollar ebay lip for the time being. I miss my CF but this one will do for now.

Freshly painted bumper

as well as a custom paint blend I ordered from Australia for my headlight housings. Finally looking like a decent car again!

You're pretty good with the camera, Thomas!

And the car is nice too, as always

carlitos_370z · 09-22-2015, 12:23 PM

Congrats bro! Glad that everything looks like new again!

DatsunFTW · 09-22-2015, 12:34 PM

Thanks guys. I still have to finish up the passenger headlight because I dont have the other angel eye. In a little bit I will be drilling into the plastic bumper trim to fit up my DRL's. I normally have a carbon fiber cover over it so if I don't like it, I'll just cover it up. If I do, I'm going to drill into cover. I think it will look nice

I'll post pictures soon

Zbrah · 09-22-2015, 12:43 PM

Lol...that front lip literally gliding over the pavement!
