^^^ I know it is not as cold as it is in the NE or the MW.. It is 31 degrees in Las Vegas right now. When I lived in Chicago, I lived in an apartment with a heated garage. I washed my 300zx all the time during winter. You just have to wash one section at a time.

 

finally installed my oil cooler.

Z1 motorsports 34R cooler kit. It had fitment issues and did not have all the parts it should have. I also washed it for the first time in 3 weeks -_-

Wish I could have gotten my brake ducts on but the previous owner decided to take the dust shields off so now im stumped on where to put them.

 

Been down to mid 30s in the early am in Phoenix.

This was on the ground yesterday after 11:30am.

 

Today I installed some Titek lightweight aluminum lugnuts (found them on this site, thanks!) and painted my brake calipers to match them. Let me know what you guys think, I know the look isn't for everyone.

 

Didn't want to take the extra step of removing the caliper before painting?

 

i thought the pad looks painted... not really feeling the faux brembo either..

 

Had 2 of my 18" G35 wheels refinished by Rim Doctor. They did an excellent job on matching the OEM hyper black finish.

Just waiting for spring to come to mount them.

 

To be honest, I didn't even think about the fact that they're similar to brembo's until after I was done. I ordered the lugnuts, then decided I wanted to paint the calipers the same color. Once it was done, I was like oh...yeah, that's not good. haha. They look way more gold in the picture, they're actually orange.

honestly no haha

 

Looks like crap. Stock calipers should just be left alone...

 

Ordered a Zenclosure for my new Alpine type R 10

 

Finished wrapping the hood.

 

That hood looks phenomenal Sparco!

 

god looks so easy lol

 

In the last twenty days I've acquired a duraflex ams front bumper, painted the hood from previous lowlife issues.. bumper, rear quarter and hatch. Everything dupont chroma. Fixed a nightmare never go to a body shop! They had painted the car wrong color and ruined more **** than needed. Acquired another rear subframe to mod for spl solids,energy polyurethane bushings,megan radius arms.
-Fixed my bc coilover dampening adjusters finally.

Alignment in rear was 1.5hrs haha
-also got a Oem master clutch cyclinder, new oem slave, my agency power ss line failed after two years.. got a new line. Motul 600 fluid used.
switched up on my old brakes, got Dba kangaroo paw slotted rotors with stop tech pads.
-Im on my seconds set of headlights, Modded this set and bought new covers and o rings etc.
-Two used ballasts off ebay.
-Removed my Xo2 dual exhaust, put my Oem y pipe back on and added a megan racing single exhaust.

heres current pic from winterfest 2012

 

Replaced about 1/2 of the plastic clips in my engine bay.

 

How much was all that wrap? Easy to do?

 

reassembled with a new fuel rail, cleaned Mass Air , removed wideband O2 sensor. Fun stuff. The freaking AEM wideband worked for 1 freaking day and they say there is no warrenty.

 

Got a optima yellow top and then washed and detailed my dirty *****...

 

Jelly of the Optima yellow top :/

 

Sorry about the break-in, Taywan

As for me, washed it and until it felt like my hands were going to be frostbitten.

Also, new slotted rotors and Stoptech pads on all 4 corners.

But discovered a bushing on the drivers' side lower control arm is messed up.

That saying, time to do research, but I'll throw this out... anyone know of a reliable site to get a good price on an LCA?

Thanks
