What are you looking for? Its really hard to improve on what Nissan put out from the factory when it comes to intakes.
thanks for the quick reply bro, well I just wanted a lil more power that's why I did the stock dyno to see what numbers I had, I have ART v2 pipes sitting at home, waiting to be installed

With your new pipes exhaust and a tune you should get a healthy bump in power.

I've been ordering interior trim pieces for the past few weeks. All those parts scratch so easy it drives me crazy. I did try the spray paint method. Just didn't look original to me. My search for a new set of 35th Anniversary floor mats is still on going. I've searched and searched! I'm sure I'll find them.

Do those let the side airbags still function?
You can get an optional seat airbag when you order. My car came with cloth and had no seat airbags. If you are referring to the passenger airbag, yes it still functions.

Seats look good but I think you could have pulled a lot more tighter. I did mine over the winter. Reguires a lot of patience.

The girlfriend and I worked on test fitting the cage inside the car. Still have to get the front a-pillar assemblies set up so I can get it more set in stone before welding the main hoop to the car as well as the rear strut bar portion.

Not today, but last Friday I got new wheels and tires. Also got the rear fenders rolled.
ESR SR08s and some Potenza RE760s.
Yeah yeah fake wheels, but it's just till I find the set of Weds I want.

I was looking around for some inexpensive wheels to mount up some track tires and/or some wheels for my old car) and those ESRs actually look pretty good. Probably not race worthy but they sure look good for the price and for street use.

Yeah, sure, I run forged wheels almost exclusively but there's no reason to have to "defend" one's choice of wheels. Only person one needs to satisfy is themselves. I have a set of cast wheels on one of my cars right now and after a few days of abuse in the mountains, hey, no complaints. They're NOT my S-Tunes or Volks but they work and they're fun as hel*!

^Jake, I think that your wheel/tire setup looks great! Also nice flush look and wheel gaps look good too.

They're an awesome combo, I've had them before on my last Z. Definitely sounds good with the Tomei but it's loud as HELL.

All hail the rice queen


Doom doom doom Doom doom doom doom








Ok ok I know its crap.. But I got sick of my bubbling roof paint with rust popping up so I took sandpaper to the troubled areas, primed painted polished and it came out not so perfectly...


O well







New wrap coming soon... Anyone got an idea better then gloss black? Maybe a black brushed aluminum? Or?
