Hey All. Decided that I should redo my journal because of all of the modifications that I have come around to doing. I am having a lot of fun with it so far and I can not wait to continue progressing with her. So on with the build.

Current mods
Seibon SR Style Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler
Evo-R Carbon Fiber Diffuser
Evo-R Carbon Fiber B Pillars
Evo-R Carbon Fiber Upper Trim Piece
Custom Headlight Blackout and Halos
H&R 25mm spacers in the rear

Some mini-mods
BlueBat Tailight Reverse/Turn Signal Overlays
Plastidipped wheels

Here are some progressive pics from when I first got the car

Stock

Dipped Fangs and headligh swooshes

Dipped Diffuser

Tailight Overlays

Fairlady emblem swap

Carbon fiber B pillars

Headlight halos

blacked out headlights with silver shrouds

Current look with the Seibon Front Lip

A lot of new things constantly rolling in! Hope you guys enjoy and follow along with my build

DatsunFTW · 10-22-2013, 02:11 AM

I get my Evo-R diffuser tomorrow and Aerojacket Type I Gt wing Wednesday and hopefully installed the same day so that's exciting!

I am really trying to sell my old subwoofer system so that I can use the cash right away for Swift Spec R's.

On a side note.. I am deciding between getting test pipes + short tails or Full Fast Intentions CBE. What would you guys suggest?

Just an opinion, but I think you should paint the front lip red.

Same lip on my car painted MB

I would if I wasnt going for a specific look. I am going to buy evo r side blades and shine auto rear add ons to go with a red and carbon fiber scheme and thats how I want it to look.

Just my style

Installed the evo-r diffuser today

bought it off of a forum member and it was no pain to install. Looks good except for a mini gap in the fog light area exposing a bit of red.

Looks good! The guy you got that diffuser from wasnt kidding. Once its in, you really cant see the scrapes.

DatsunFTW · 10-22-2013, 06:50 PM

Do you guys think I should go remove the plastidip from the wheels? or should I keep them black? I am also deciding on powdercoating them gloss black... I know everyone will suggest wheels but I am still in school and the budget is very limited.

NickTurnon · 10-23-2013, 03:15 AM

Keep them black - If anything, order 1 can of "Glossifier" and take off each wheel and spray a coat or two til' they are glossy. I would assume the gloss also helps deflect dust, dirt, grime, etc..

Random materials get stuck to the normal black dip (standard plastidip black)

Heres what happens, you pay a good chunk of change to get them powdercoated. Then you accidently take a turn short and curb rash the wheel. You cant just dip over it. You will have to send it back in and have it repaired, resprayed, etc..

When I curb rash the Z (rare) but it happens, I EASILY cover up all the scrapes haha for less then $5 and 30 seconds of my time.

We are both in school - I assume both working. Save the $$ and wait for good wheels to pop up for sale in the for sale section

If your planning on leaving the front lip carbon along with the side blades(which I like carbon

)
then leave the wheels black

NickTurnon · 10-23-2013, 04:58 PM

Did you do your own headlights? Or get them done
