It really is an addiction. Well worth it though, my Z is far better than stock right now, I absolutely love it

I had my exhaust picked out before I even bought the car. Ordered that the day after I bought the car. Had it tinted within 3 days and two weeks later it had a rear fog light. After that, the rest is a blur.

yah, mine's a base sport and the first thing out was the pos stereo (out within a week's time)...wow that stock unit sucked.

Went to tom to get my exhaust welded.

But mostly because my dad got his blow-off valves installed and CoBB accessport tuned.

BUT normally he was supposed to go to dyno and get tuned that way but while we were dismanteling the piping needed to place the blow-offs we discovered that the right turbo has started leaking oil.

So tom told us to go to our dealership and try to get new turbos under warranty BEFORE he installs the accessport.

Went to dealership. new turbos are on their way....somehow it went easier than thought.

Pictures of the oil.

According the the accessport the GT-R has about 530 HP now after the standard map.

Now my dad ordered HKS their race suction airintake kit

So next week those will get installed and then the car will get put on a dyno and completely custom tuned. delicious.

I knew that I would be doing springs, sway bars, intake and exhaust before I bought it. Turns out, I needed many more mods than those.

SPOHN · 12-05-2011, 05:16 PM

Changed my oil, bleed the clutch, check tire pressure, brake inspection, and washed car. I also removed the OEM plastic grill mesh on the front clip. Pics to come later this week.

I'm going to plasti-dip (or what ever you call it) the middle section soon and most likley put some sort of mesh insert in replacement of the OEM setup. So it was a good day.

Eh its the same FI exhaust I had in the beginning.

Its fixed now but I looked at the rest of the braces(?). those things are welded like....really thin. like a little line.
