That's low... :shakes head:




or maybe you're right.... :icon17:

JB1 11-18-2009 08:45 PM

Looking good simota! (except for the intakes, but that's just because you got the same result as me without spending $$$ on some non functional intakes;) )

simota1 11-18-2009 09:52 PM

haha thanks jb1!!!! ur car looks sweet....

motoextreme 11-27-2009 10:33 PM

Car looks great man, love all the mods. Can I ask what you used to put the black outline on the headlights? I was thinking a really dark tint from the tint shop would work, any advice?

simota1 11-27-2009 11:07 PM

i actually used auto paint and painted the outside of my headlight.... i think tint would work fine man... overlays always come out clean and if u dont like it u can rip it off again... :D

motoextreme 11-27-2009 11:11 PM

Thanks man, I'll take it into the tint shop monday as their doing the window anyway. Running out of mods myself, time to get creative. Thinking about blacking out my rims just cant decide. Nice job thus far bro!

simota1 11-28-2009 09:05 PM

no problem bro.... btw nice NISMO bro.... ur car is freaking nice....

:happydance::happydance::happydance:

alright u all know wat this post is about.... YES>>>>>> all my parts are in WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo after like two months of waiting its finally over my parts all arrived today..... soooo the ^^^^ is a tease i fully paid the race version oil cooler and the ground kit and power steering cooler by stillen......... sooo i took them home and installed them BUT i only paid half for the other parts greddy cat back and stillen high flow cats and headers.... sooo thats gonna have to stay at the shop for a lil longer till i funnel money in there...... anyways i installed the ground kit... and it was easy..... NOW here is the funny part.... the power steering cooler and the RACE VERSION mount in the same area the left side... its sooo freakin cluttered.... the lines were a pain in the *** to tuck.... anyways im tired from working on my car havent finished it i was ssooo tired from work and stuff soo yah.... ill take more pics.... tomoro in the morning when i finish... :tup:

backfirex 12-05-2009 09:56 AM

wow are you going to do this all yourself? haha thats so awesome ^_^ +1 for rep

simota1 12-05-2009 10:48 AM

yes i do majority of my modding by myself... EXCEPT if its gonna give me a pain in the A$$ like installing the stillen headers... thats what my good friend who owns a mechanic shop is gonna come in LOL...

motoextreme 12-05-2009 11:41 AM

I'm done trying to keep up with you. The crazy thing is just the shipping to Guam has to really add up.

Looking awesome bro! I have a few parts ready to install but just dont have the time, nothing like this though.

I really want to wrench on my car myself more but I Cant get it off the ground high enough to get under it. Suppose its better to pay someone then strip a crankshaft nut/bolt

Keep it up, I'll add more pics of mine too when I get it going again next week, look forward to reading yours.

simota1 12-06-2009 01:45 AM

thanks moto!!! yah shippin here does suck LOL... sometimes itll cost more than the actual part... thats why i have to ship it by boat... which sucks donkey balls... i took more pics... and i test drove her.... the temps were always at 180-200 TOP!!!! lol i was opening her up on the road wide open i usually start hitting 245-260 temps.. sooo im really happy with the results.. ill post pictures later.... :D

simota1 12-06-2009 02:38 AM

:tup:here are the updates.... PICTURES!!!!

http://www.the370z.com/members/simot...cooler-001.jpg

Yup there pretty much bunched up next to each other... i had to but some black tar between mounting plates to insure it wouldnt rattle it came out great :tup:

http://www.the370z.com/members/simot...cooler-002.jpg

another shot..... of it... u can see the lines were conncected already... it was a tight fit to make everything fit because of the stillen power steering oil cooler upgrade...

http://www.the370z.com/members/simot...cooler-003.jpg

i installed a fresh K&N oil filter and 8 quarts of royal purple fully synthetic oil :D i think my baby was thirsty... LOL....

http://www.the370z.com/members/simot...cooler-005.jpg

re routing the air channel ducts was a lil tricky.... i know the whole c thing going on restricts the air but hey at least i was able to put them back on....

http://www.the370z.com/members/simot...cooler-006.jpg

and yah yah my car is dirty lol i was tired and i was gonna clean her but blah tomoro..... ill clean her... shot right after i test drove her and tried to see the oil cooling temps... outcome was great :D.... drove at very SPIRITED SPEEDS>>>> and it wasnt getting hotter than 190-200 degrees VERY VERY happy with the results... :D

http://www.the370z.com/members/simot...cooler-007.jpg

phantom21 12-15-2009 11:27 AM

Working in tire manufacturing; tread separation is a taboo. You better get some new skins on her quick!

simota1 12-28-2009 07:24 AM

RCZ 12-28-2009 12:30 PM

Simota, I have one new tire. I would send it over to you but I think we don't have the same tire. If you CAN use it somehow, I'll give you a really good price..

simota1 01-02-2010 10:15 PM
