honestly, i hadn't thought of that, but it may look pretty good. i'd be worried about how it'd hold up over time though. we'll see if someone does it...i'm ditching the nismo when if/when i switch to a kuruma or the apr kit.

my rivets are still stock, but i like the ways yours look. as for your center cap, i had always thought they revised the design. nice mod man, looks OEM

 

His G is driven everywhere...Why does it have to be FI to be anything?

 

Nice those brakes are just ....

 

don't even sweat it bro!

marcus snapped this pic too:

 

yea I just painted the rivets black thats all, and did a little bit of dremel work and silicone gluing with the center caps.....
but here's some pics for you of my lip painted on the Nismo, I did that a long time ago, maybe you didnt see the pics or maybe I didn't post them, in any case this is after 4 months of having it on painted, it held up really good, I just had my shop put some flex additive to make sure the paint flexes since the lip is rubber.... so yea give it a try I'm sure it will come out and exceed your expectations, it did to me

 

nah, didn't see those - looks nice! the last pic of your car I saw on driver was when it was covered in ice

 

nice bbks, candy red is the hotness

 

Nice and clean. Congrats!

 

thanks bro

 

love it. I just dont understand why those wheels are more popular with the g guys then the z guys. The g is more high end but these cheaper wheels are soo much more popular with the g guys than the over priced volks works ect... that us Z owners lust over. I would buy them, I like them and im not hating at all im just sorta confused why that would be.

 

i think it has to do with a slight preference for looks over performance / weight saving in the g crowd. generally, Zs appeal to folks who want performance & looks while Gs are for people who wants looks & performance. its a very small difference, and although this is a big generality, i think its true for a lot of the ppl who've bought them.

as for me, i wanted 20", 5 spoke wheels with relatively large lips that were rounded at the edges (not squared or angled off). these fit the bill and i've loved them every minute they've been on my car

 

Good point. I went to the r1 site thinking i would price those wheels, and that model is the only one thats not a knock off! I must say i like them though. I got a quote from wheels next around 2600 (with garbage tires) and honestly for that much ima get some used volks.
LOVE your g though man i think those wheels fit your look perfect i wouldnt change them. (i might have opted for the black lip though )

 

nice..hope to see you around santa monica

 

you too man! i'm usually around the promenade and lincoln north of the 10

 

my fam lives on san vicente and 7th so i usually take lincoln there to see them

 

sweet, i'll keep an eye out for your Z!

 

very cleanly done

 

thanks man

recent engine bay pics - i need to take some better ones when i finish relocating a few hoses & do some other things

 

^^ chromed or polished?

you coulda painted the battery cover and the other side cover candy red as well...

 

coolant piping has been chromed, but the rest is polished. hand polishing the timing cover while it was on the car was not fun, but it kept me outta trouble for a few weeks

i'll probably paint the core support, top of grill, and battery covers white to match he car. i don't want too much white though, so the final product will likely be a combination (black covers with red accents & white core support OR white core support, black grill top with white battery covers, OR ....)
