Ugh. I didn't know you did the door handles!

I guess I haven't popped in here in a while.

Looks good! (everything, including the handles. )

Hamburgers and handles are next for me. I WISH I could do body colour (I think), but I am just gonna go with black.

They are just plasti dipped. Four coats of white, two pearl, one gloss. But after the hell I went through re dipping them for IFO I plan to get them actually painted before the next IFO in December. Same with the rims. And I want to replace the hamburgers with the Z badges in gloss black too.

Yo...I'm a no go for tomorrow as I pulled another dumb move, it's Mother's Day and I probably need to spend time with my wife and daughter LOL.

The flippin mod bug is killing me again, I just ordered SPL front camber arms and I bought a set of EVO-R CF side view mirrors from Jerdo here on the forum.

I like the black vinyl roof, did you consider doing the same with the duckbill?

Thanks for the info, how about when you want to remove the vinyl? Anyone have any problems with it effecting the paint?

So a bit of a surprise for anyone who hasn't seen my updates today... I traded my Z in.

I found a brand new Magma Red 13' Nismo on a dealer lot and just had to take a look. Selling my car was not my plan or intent. But it consumed me, it's become a money pit, and the day something really bad happens, I have noone to go to. Things look grim at GTM, I'm only getting about 260-270 miles per tank, and this kit just never met my expectations. Every other decision I made I think was very sound. But after bringing it home, it felt more like a science experiment. I should have went with BP as I was so close to doing it.

So I'm eating the lost money, starting from scratch and taking it slow for a while. I'm keeping the mods simple for the next couple years. Hotrodz is a true friend and really hooking me up, I can't thank him enough. He's hooking me up with AEM's, which helps get me back on track. An oil cooler is needed dearly. The car was hovering around 210 today in 75 degree weather. Lastly, the Nismo exhaust sound is still crap IMO, but I'm going to have to live with it for now. I can barely hear the dang thing. I seriously believe my Wifes Maxima has a manlier sound.

looks like I'm following your lead firehawk, putting my Z up for sale too. love the car but just don't want to drop lots of money into it. plus I have a craving for a V8.

That must have been a hard decision to make ss. What are you looking at getting cc? Anyone parting out before selling/trading? I want a new exhaust.

Lol, The Dealer bought the car with everything. Even my Uprev cable and Cat went to them. They got their @ss chewed by the GM for buying my car lol. I just sent them a link to my journal and receipts for everything. I told them if they get it running 100% perfect and prove it's putting down 550whp, they can demand $45-50k for it.

I just have factory parts to part out and im up in the air with my CJM Road Race pump. I would totally trade it for a nice exhaust right now though.

This is a post I put on my journal... My brothers new Nismo, my new Nismo, and the last shots of Sophia I took

This is my brothers new Nismo he bought on Friday.


This is my new Nismo I bought Saturday night


And last but not least, the last pics I took of Sophia on the 2nd of May after wiping her down.






And shots of my new ride

It was Pinnacle Nissan in Scottsdale. I had a good experience there. Part of the deal is Wifey gets a fresh Maxima too lol. So if anyone is interested in buying my ride after they put it up, let me know. It was just odd luck I found the car tho. Last brand new 13' Magma red Nismo in the country. I could not have found a bigger unicorn. I'm not gonna lie. I cried the next day, had anxiety attacks all night, and was so stressed over the whole thing
