simota1 · 10-26-2012, 07:18 AM

so i finished taking out the rest of my sounds tonight... its going to its new home tomoro morning.... his actually a member here too

i wasnt able to go to the bank and put money in my paypal for the Jnext's but ill be sure to do that tomoro

i also went ahead and did the penny trick for the hatch springs... ive been having to do the double touch on the trunk popper....

it sucks when your carrying something and you need to put it down just to press the button with one hand and hold up the hatch with the other... the penny trick worked great.

i should be able to place the order for the sub tomoro along with the component speakers and maybe the rears speakers also with the money i made from the part out...

here is the component speakers im going with
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...te-T1675-S.htm

lill be ordering the speaker adapters for the front tonight from danny3.7 on here he gave me a great deal on them

*edit just sent the money to danny

woot wooo

You might be the only one in the world with a Z on those wheels.

I know BBS makes GT-R sizes, might work just as well for you.

simota1 · 10-28-2012, 08:03 AM

alright fellas.... i got an update... but its not that great

so i clayed my car today because i wanted to seal her with paint sealer.... im pretty careful and i washed her, 2 bucket method... blasted the sh!t outa her with so much water.... i always buy new clay bars when i clay my z.... but today was

so i began claying the hood... when i first ran the clay bar i looked at it and there was a small rock... like idk wtf and where it came from... but it but a pretty good scratch on it about two feet long

i tried buffing it with some compounds... but no dice... looks like i gotta get it sanded with like 3000 grit and buffed out.. THANK GOD i didnt press hard on the clay bar or it would have been not good. i addressed the other minor scratches and did paint corrections... still doing good with the swirls... none so far

and ive had her for about 4 months now... put the cover on her

before the whole cleaning incident i began taking measurements for my enclosure... and fml... ORIGINALLY i thought that i could use my 12 W3 V3 for my sub enclosure idea... I went ahead and gave it a try but it would be impossible to work, since i already ordered the mdf rings i opted for a 12'' shallow mount sub. I was able to stage it today and came in to one conclusion the 12 mdf ring will NOT fit... i could make it fit but in the end the box wont flow like i wanted it... it would protrude and look funky... i havent came out with the final conclusion on what size sub i can run but one thing is for sure 12 is outa the question... so i burned 25 bucks on the ring

its gonna look like even a 10 is cutting it pretty close... i know a 8 would fit no problem and would make the box proportionate but it feels so puny

never in my life have i ran anything less than a 10.... the biggest ive done was 4 12's in my old pathfinder and it rocked... (sorry i used to be a bass junky lol) i still gotta recheck and calculate everything for this part... ill update you guys again when i figure it out...

NOW as for my old audio... its long gone... zerodark on this forum bought everything from me

... here is the funny part, my wifes bday was saturday, and who here wants to guess what happened next

all im gonna say is ive never seen her so happy

but my z took a hit for the team lol no sounds for a while....

evor said he shipped my emblems out already like 2 days ago hopefully well see it soon....

time to work some overtime and make up what ive lost lol

Mr&Mrs · 10-28-2012, 08:14 AM

Sounds like you had a long day. Sorry about your paint!

yah... that part really bothers me... but ill fix it... hopefully this week.... or if not, probably same time i paint and install the j next rears

Huck · 10-28-2012, 09:23 AM

Dude that's one hell of a day, sorry bro. I recently got a huge scratch in my clear oat on my door, so I'm gonna try to buff that out...

tell me about it man...

but i guess it was one of those days that just sucked lol....

simota1 · 10-30-2012, 09:26 AM

so today was pretty rough at work.... i was working like a mad dog with deadlines... but thankfully i got them out in time

i get home and i have two packages with my name on them

one from EVOR and the other from CFE.... GOD i love the vendors on here... so much support for guam... i got my emblems in like 4 days lol and my knee pads in like a week.... i was suprised they came so fast.... anyways..

i went ahead and installed the knee pads... tremendous difference... the quality of tony is truly remarkable.... perfect... is the only way to describe it.... i also did the test fitting of the emblems.... the front emblem definitely got my vote... the back however... ehhh... still a 50/50.... not to sure im feeling it.... i test fitted them with painters tape. i took em off and dropped them off to the body shop.... im having them reshaped to circles.. the hamburger shape just killed it for me... i hate that shape...

i should be able to get them back end of this week or beginning of next

back to the box nightmare

well i did alota measuring and thinking.... and tryna visualize my next move.... and this is what i came up with... IF i got a 10'' woofer... i would be driving with my chairs in a affixed position and would not be able to recline them... EVER.... a 12 would be near to impossible... so that leaves me to one answer.... one single 8'' woofer would be my best bet... even with the enclosure with a 8'' i would be able to recline and act like that sub isnt even there

the only problem is... i think its puny

BUT i would rather have a sub that fit nicely and hit ok rather than a sub that hit really loud and ill look like a robot driving my z because i cant reclne

im gonna order the 8'' mdf ring tonight together with the RF shallow mount DVC 4ohm ill wire down to a 2ohm load... since the puny 8''s cant take much... i think ill just get a 5 channel amp... it doesnt save me money... which sucks lol but at least i dont have to lay out another power cable...

Jasonle · 10-30-2012, 12:56 PM

Sexy

Mr&Mrs · 10-30-2012, 06:38 PM

An 8" sub is small but with our Z cabins I think it will be enough.

simota1 · 10-31-2012, 05:42 PM

SO its been a crazy week for me

first with my z and now this

my mom wanted to help my wife prepare for my daughters 1st birthday, just running around and getting errands done with... well a cement truck of all things was signaling left and also on the lane to TURN LEFt.... so my mom is on the lane to turn right... the cement truck changes his mind and turns right

my heart dropped when i got the call that my family was in an accident with a cement truck

thankfully everyone was ok especially my daughter... my daily driver camry however didnt get as lucky

the cement truck tore off the bumper, both headlights, corners, mutilated the fender, hood and bent part of the suspension i believe.... this means my z will be my daily for a while

which sucks cuz i smell like slag and weld at the end of the day

the bright side to this is my lil girl turned one today
