Dozier's Nismo Build

speedfreek · 03-01-2014, 08:02 PM

Going to get the red post maf tubes to complete the Z1 silicone kit?

Dozier · 03-01-2014, 08:54 PM

Nah...Soon I will have the Gen III Stillen intakes. Probably going to powder coat them red.

Dozier · 04-09-2014, 08:36 PM

Finished up the Z1 silicone hose install. Got the heater hoses done, and the radiator hoses done. Did a coolant flush and also an oil change.

Also went ahead and installed my swift springs along with SPC camber arms and toe bolts.

Well...Took the car in to the dealership because 1st-2nd were grinding a little and 4th-5th were also grinding a good bit. Could hold the clutch in while in 6th and shift back and forth to 5th/6th and it grinds every shift...Nissan just installed me a brand new transmission for free.

Yea...Sooo today this happened....

It happened from this....

Went to a body shop. Asked for an estimate on repainting my rock chipped front bumper and also repainting after sanding my wing. Even went as far as getting an estimate to repaint the whole car. After the idiot body shop owner told me my chipped wing wasn't repairable. I decided I wasn't doing business there because it is easily repairable. Dumb ***. Pissed me off so much. If you are going to run a business..Please know WTF you are talking about if your going to have people pay you for a service.

So I go home. Get out some 2k grit wet sand paper and go to town for a minute on the chip. I sanded it out without going through the gel/clear to the fiber. Thank god. Wasn't terribly deep. Then I got out the rubbing compound and hit it with that. After that, I went with the good old car wax.

Here is a picture with the wax drying to a haze on the wing. Didn't get many pictures. Sorry.

And here we are all finished and polished out..

No more chip.

+1 for me.....Owned body shop

Dozier · 05-22-2014, 05:10 PM

Ordered a set of spacers for the wheels to fit better.

mjm · 05-22-2014, 05:13 PM

At least you will have new wheel spacers soon!

Hopefully the shop will get you back on the road quickly!
