Is "carbon skinned" the same thing as "hydro-dipped"? I had my console hydro-dipped in a CF pattern but mine doesn't look as good as yours turned out.

 

Pretty sure its a layer of real carbon fiber laminated onto his parts.

 

 

 

sorry.

 

You are indeed correct.. This is all hand skinned by Fab Vilches.. I stay true to my old school z g roots.. Met him thru rickdogg years ago now

 

Thursday I changed out the camshaft positioning sensors and crankshaft positioning sensor after not being able to drive it for a month. Yesterday I got it fully detailed and filled that baby up. Then driving it, it started to buck in gears. Wasn't driving right at all. So, it's back in the shop..

 

Ordered up my new oem slave cylinder and a z1 stainless steel line. The fun never stops.

 

Watched the Odometer turn over 90,000 miles,

Pumped in another tank of 93 Octane,

Good to Go !

 

drove it to downtown Pensacola. Had some fun at the seafood festival. Do any of yall live around Pensacola?

 

So their I was just minding my own business changing out the clutch line, and I look up and im like WTF.

 

After further review and taking apart my steering knuckle it turns out that's normal... Who knew. Still looks sketchy to me, but what so i know.

 

Getting my car ready for paint (F&R bumpers) so decided to finally do a test fit of the poly spoiler. Fits fine but I think I've decided to contiinue doing without it since I've always enjoyed the car as it sits. Also figured since I have the dark wheels on it right now, the black spoiler wouldn't be so dang obvious.

Ehhhh, I was wrong.... still way too obvious and "added on". Will have the spoiler painted at the same time as the bumper so if I decide to put it on later, it will already be color keyed. (Also going to have my guy shoot the rear spoiler I was playing with a couple of weeks ago so it'll be ready to put on if I decide to spoil myself. )

Without spoiler:

All the urethane pieces (front, sides, rear) on the car are prominently off tone!!

With spoiler:

Not horrible, not great = Ehhhhhhhh

I really should just shoot the entire car.....

In case you're wondering what that obnoxious orange sticker on the windshield is, it's the sticker they made us wear for the parade lap at Laguna a few weeks back. Looks horrible but I like looking at it when I get in the car. Haha!

 

Car is back in business, drove it all over yesterday, ran like a champ.

Sold my extra Y pipe and my oem spoiler... Slowly clearing out all my extra junk.

 

Washed 'em.

They thanked me graciously and voraciously.

They even let me take a shot of their butts. Buhzillion pics of my cars, never ones from the back.





Only took 'em from that angle due to the long afternoon light washing out every other view.

 

 

 

For all my OCD wheel brethren out there who think it's completely normal to take off your wheels to detail them...



Wash, brush, rinse, clay bar, polish, and wax

 

How difficult was the shift kit install? How's it performing? I'm thinking of getting one and doing the install myself

 

Please excuse my OCD, that wheel weight on the face of Nismos!
