Thats on me, Chad. Poor grammer.
I meant to say my amber turn leds will be on the wide part of my front clears. They will blink bc Im tying them to my turn signals. Facing sidewaze.

The white daytime running leds will be
Facing forward, positioned in the rear of my clear markerz.

Looking at old posts just now. I will pull it off, no doubt without Gwen.

And Ive got a bit of polishing to do before i do that ceramic coat.
Thank you for all the advice, Chad!

Silica=glass=ceramic. Is this just semantics?

Tips were small on the Niz so i added some 4.5 inchers to finish it while i wait for an s tune to come up
OK, I get it now. But don't really think the S-Tune is needed any longer...

It's my understanding from another thread here that the Fujitsubo is pretty much the same spec as the Weldina/Nismo S-Tune. I looked into getting that setup but for what they were asking (like $1500+), figured I'd just wait for a used S-Tune.... which I ended up with (x2)... laff.



One was from a member here and it's in good shape and on the car. The other came along locally just after I got the first one and I couldn't pass it up. Full system with only about 2k miles on it, super clean, good price (the new looking one in the rear of pic above) - debating on putting it on the Niz (so not likely) or getting another car to fit it.... er, wait, I mean....

I saw a rear window spoiler on a local parts store and it's currently on sale so I bought it.

Put on a front lip on her, which was a pain in the butt. Also, took a drive up to Julian with my buddies

Awesome, with all the subtle colors of your buds' cars, this pic makes me think about one of those all black and white photos with one little spot of vibrant color in it....

Installed a new 03 center cubby, glowshift fuel pressure gauge, and a black box dash cam(thanks to the recent review of one on this site). Gotta wait till the couplers arrive to put on my 3.5'' intake which seems like it will fit. Also the dual gauge pod won't fit the 03 cubby sadly ;( and need to get 1 more piece for the cubby to stay closed.

Matthew, please don't put a fuel pressure gauge INSIDE the cabin (unless it's an electronic unit based off a FP SENSOR under hood, and only sending electrical data to the cabin mounted gauge (which I suspect yours is... please tell me it is ). REALLY DANGEROUS, otherwise.

Just don't wanna see a Z-brother get cooked.

What if I feel like a BBQ while driving tho . I used a dynotune fuel adapter and no fuel is traveling anywhere other than the oem fuel line. Thanks for the concern though .

I sanded down my headlights and did about 8 layers of clear coat. Hopefully after I buff them they will lookI a bit better. I also removed the aluminum piece on my passenger door and covered the plastic in carbon tape. (Aluminum had a big scratch and dent) and drive it too the supermarket to get some dinner and juice.

I also looked at my semi polished plenum then thought about working on that leading me to look at z1's website and contemplating buying the v+ then the popcharger then the power pack then ordering nothing and laying with the dog on the couch.

For your dash cam, did you get the one with or without the capacitor in it? The model should be G1WC. That's the same one I had in my RX-8, haven't put it into the Z yet which I probably will this week. I love the quality of this little cam, picks up audio really nice and video quality is amazing.

THe model is G1W on the box. I'm like it more and more . I just got done driving in a bad storm and could barely see through the windshield yet the cam had perfect vision.
