My Girl is Coming Home Today (Hopefully)
Just wanted to belate! After 19 days without my Z... she is probably coming home.
I have had the following work done:
+Replacement front headlights (old ones were beyond repair/restore)
+Custom exhaust
+New stereo install (custom sub box, 2x 12" w/ touchscreen headunit)
+Backup cam (I know, it's a Z, but I live in an insane country and people dive behind cards)
+General interior work
+New JWT Flywheel
+Various clutch pieces replaced
+Pedal adjustment
+Nismo Clutch Disc
+HID conversion kit (white, not crappy purple or overly blue)
My next mods are hopefully going to be suspension. I would have already done that but the clutch went out way sooner than expected.
Here are some fun pics. Total cost of the disaster with parts + labor: $2800-3000.
--My old clutch
--Sound System
--In progress
--Damaged JWT clutch that I could not use.

Thanks guys! She did not make it home yesterday but mechanic says first thing in the morning as he needs to do some adjustments.
I will up some pics/vids once done. Mind you, she is not stellar, he paint needs work but I wanted to do mechanical before appearance. Paint will come... eventually.

It is funny how we all like our cars. And we do actually missed our cars deeply when they are sending away for builds. Like mine, I didn't even have my Z sent out for build, and I still missed it, for being sitting in the garage for winter. It just feel good to drive in it, and to stare at it after long hours wrenching it, LOL.

There is no way I could survive a year! Props to you all. I was dying after 19 days.
New clutch is a beast. I have driven a new Nissan clutch with stock everything and it's ok. This new clutch is a beast though. Totally changes the car. The JWT flywheel makes a huge difference.
The chatter is not even noticeable to me, although, some people could notice it I guess. I haven't noticed it, been doing my best to try and hear it. I briefly detected it and tried recording it for some other people who asked about it - but, didn't even show up.
I took some pics, will throw some photos up shortly.
