What did you do with your Z today

PWDJDM: What is the weight of the knob compared to stock?

Super Tanooki · 11-28-2011, 08:49 PM

I just bought the Stillen G3s from a friend used.

The filters are a little dirty. Is there a makeshift routine for cleaning them other than ordering the K&N stuff?

I had the roof, fangs, and diffuser wrapped in vinyl today. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I did the roof in glossy black and the fangs/diffuser in matte black. Here are some pics.

There are a few more pics in an album I posted on my profile too.

I have always used the K&N kit and am not aware of a shortcut. Make sure you get the kit with the aerosol oil -- it is much easier to meter the small amount you need and not over-saturate the filter. Also -- take the time to clean your MAF's while you are at it. Use CRC MAF cleaner -- it is as simple as pie.

I installed them myself. Very easy to do, don't pay anyone to do it. I looked at the DIY and it really took me less than 2 hrs to install the kickplates, light, and dynamat.

That looks really good pedelg! I like how you mixed the use of the flat black and gloss. Tell me, did they vinyl the antenna as well? Was it pre-cut or custom?

Thanks happy! Yeah, they did the antenna as a separate piece separated by the rubber between the roof and antenna.. It was a custom job using 3M vinyl.

Looks nice. Do you have any farther-away shots of the car with the vinyl on? I want to see the whole picture

This is as far away as I have, but you can't really see the roof too much.

Got JDM tail lights from the forum member last night. Tonight I did the installation. What nissan was thinking when designing the tail lights. Servicing the tail lights will be a pain in the a55.
