Welcome back KingBaby. I was just on Oahu this past weekend and I'm always on the lookout for Nismos. I didn't see any unfortunately, but did get to see a GT3 and a couple GT-R's driving around. I know it's common for the Oahu folk, but us neighbor islanders don't see crap! Also went to the new K1 Speed Indoor Kart Racing out Kapolei side. Good times.
Getting a larger air compressor like yours is something I've been looking at for some time now. Good for home and car improvements.
Keep us posted on this year's mods!

The compressor has paid for itself already in terms of eliminated tiresome wrench work out of routine or upgrade jobs.
Then the whole getting older thing is in the back of my mind...
*softly swispering*
GTR
First version of the garage...yes my two kids are using the car as a playground.
Another shot of them not leaving me alone...and yes food in the car
Finally got around to sell these spare cats...only to be low balled from local recycling companies. They got me for $35 each...was tired running around and took $285 one was blown
Pick up an upgrade so to speak...a Quaife LSD 4.08 pumpkin !?! [NABuilder] another memeber felt it's was too much for his setup, it being his main DD I guess too much. I have a feeling, I'll have the same impression, I do have 3.7 gears to throw in...another HUGE job I would like to attempt ...*wishful thinking*
Don't mind the bike...I had the chance to roll around on it, but it's just too much power for an individual ! Too much can't even stress it enough. Lost a close friend to this almost limitless acceleration ! #pansy #imscared
Car is in the air as mentioned, and checked on my skid plate and will make a full one piece undershroud type contraption...but this version is doing a great job protecting the jewels lol
So this is how it sits right now
lots of plans as usual but limited time/family/work really paces this build.
List of things to do before next deployment or trash car.
all glass for lexan, ducts for quarters
Kirkey seat
Half cage
Install racepak
Shave out trunk and repainted
More suspension solid bushings
Hopefully tune the damn thing
More than likely gonna put it in a connex box and buy a GTR.

Welcome back King! I know I said that to you on Facebook. lol Car looks good as usual. As for the GTR, it definitely is depreciating. The forum for that car is crazy in regards to pricing. People still want 60k for an 09. You're better off finding a 12+ for that price.

lol all I need to do is tow it away...space and connex box at ABC's is the easy part...
So removed the evap canister and a exhaust hanger that hide away with it.
9lbs
Inbetween shopping today gonna swingby to the hobby shop and press out the diff ear bushing. hOpeFUlly

Thanks, and I've really been contemplating how far I want to go...once I detemine I'm going to lay out a plan and stick to it. Really would like to avoid re work and replacement work like I've previously done on this bucket of a car.

Completely got beat up on this install...got one diff war bushing out and drilled and cut up the main bushing for removal. Don't have a big franky socket so I'm gonna get a saw
When to the hobby shop and sure enough couldn't get leverage on it...
Same day magically I found time to cut out a template to compelte the *rushed* V3 rear
Looking into buying a beater/project = more problems

Finally finished the diff install ...finding time was the hardest part next to the tools ! I used the DIY listed below :
https://my350z.com/forum/engine-driv...mp-either.html
Didn't have to make a big franky as I had a kit not too sure where my friend found it...worked like a charm!
So excited that I was finished ... threw a s13 seat in and took off !
Sadly my hood didn't follow me or the car
This is how it sits...
I've done a lot of little things on the car's rear....now with the set back of a damaged hood I'm on the hunt for another OEM or saving a few more pennies for MCR . Or **** it no hood nevar

So with the car back on jacks I've been cleaning up and revising areas of the chassis. The car will never be stock again so I felt it's time to complete leave that idea behind.
To racecar and beyond
The trunk area I removed all the studs and the spare wheel bracket.
Finally removed all the sound deadening with a grinder. So I sprayed it with some paint just to prevent surface rust, cause I want to go white interior.
My compressor has paid for itself 2x over just from grinding all that shlt out!
Yet during maintenance, the rinky dinky drain valve didn't shut and started leaking. $30 later from Hardware Hawaii and fitted the compressor with a ball valve to make draining simple!
Lastly went to visit the in laws junkyard!
Came up on gold, I see myself retiring and starting a small business stripping and sourcing out second hand parts.
I was able to get for free ! A 08 manifold, valve covers, throttle bodies and intake runner ! Gonna find time to clean up and ship them off to be ported.
I say this now but might be months as its summer time and my car is not a priorty anymore...

Thanks for taking the time and reading through my pain and joy!
While I procrastanate on the next few tools to buy , I've been spending my pennies on pointless things to get me over each month!?!
Authentic ARC Radiator Cap
Authentic ARC Oil Cap
Even found time to build my thumbler
But all in all I've been enjoying my homecycle with my family
Babies are a full time job!
