Thanks haeshik, your ride has definitely always been one of my favorites as well. The UAS has saved me more times than I can keep track of, and the electronic adjustability is priceless. Have you looked into the electronic dampening system TEIN has? Looking to implement that with the setup I have now, ya outta check it out. Take care out there and be safe man.

Thanks my Hawaiian Bruddah! Your car has been on my mind since we talked a few weeks ago, I was curious how the SPOCOM show went. I am sorry I couldn't be present here in Cali, I was in Texas for 3 weeks, but if you need anything from me now, I got your back Brother. When are you going to grace these fine people with some sick pics of the widebody? I am curious to see the finished product. Take care and I will keep in touch, let me know if you need anything from me and I will make it happen. Take care out there in Paradise, man do I miss that place!

Thanks Boomer Your right, there is definitely a crack on the front bumper. This is the result of an employee of Horizon Lines with curious, sticky fingers when my car wash being shipped from Hawaii to Cali... Apparently the "Do not touch" note left on my dash for my electronic air suspension control wasn't enough to keep him from crushing my car between 2x4's while it was in the container as I had it lifted up all the way. Gravity doesn't work out too well for fiberglass and metal when there is resistence.

Thanks! You guys are doing BIG things down there at VividRacing, I hear lots of great things from your customers. I am going to have to bring some busines your way, I know I will be in great hands! You guys keep up the great work down there.

Sick Z
Waizzz, your a clown Man! I appreciate the compliment. I particularly enjoy reading your posts and threads, you keep me entertained for days I am hoping to meet up with you guys at your monthly meet one of these days, looks like you guys have Southern Cali under wraps. Look forward to meeting up with you and the rest of the crew sometime. Keep em' runnin' hard!

Right on zpaaji, and thanks again. The front is is Top Secret, great quality, but the wait for production and shipping is crazy (It took me 3 months). I like the look of the longnose, it really transforms the look of the Z without compromising too much from the stock bodylines, and hey, it just looks cool!

what about the c20 roadster spoiler (shine makes one) to lighten the rear visual?
Gracias lgear! I am happy to be in one piece as well, almost didn't make it! You know, funny you brought up the c20 roadster spoiler, I have been eyeing that for a while, only problem is... The Veilside spoiler is molded into my trunk. I might revert if I get tired of the look, but the c20 is definitely at the top of my list

awesome job.
I appreciate the kind words Silent Havoc. To be honest, I don't like the way the Z33 Roadsters look in stock form either, especially the new Z34's. I had to transform the look according to my vision, and I think it came out great. But it's never "done" unfortunately. Thanks again...

That means alot GeauzLadyZ. My blood, sweat and tears have been put into this thing. I think what keeps me in this, is the individualism that sets each one of us apart from the other. Motivation!

Sylvan Lake, I CAN'T wait either... My schedule is tremendously busy and I am lucky if I even get to drive it once a month. Thanks again!

Dayum Steve about time!!! I have been waiting to see the finished product of your car for a looooong time! I mean after seeing it on a lift for months, I wanted to see what she turned out like.....As mentioned already the car is beautiful! It shows that you actually put in a lot of thought, time, and effort. It definitely has to be one of the best ZRs out there.
Good job bro, and don't keep us waiting for that photoshoot

She has some damage from the boat ride out here from Hawaii, but I haven't gotten around to getting her fixed up just yet. The whole car it getting sprayed, so no worries. Thanks for the compliment brother
no problem man, i wish i could take my z on boatrides lol

Wassup Brah!!! It has been a while since we talked man. How is the Fam? I hope everybody is doing well on your end. Yea, you are right, it has been a while since the car has been "driveable" as it was under construction for some time. GX Auto really screwed me in the end, not to mention numerous car shows and meets I should have been present at with you high rollers out there before I left the rock. I really appreciate the compliments man, I hear you have a few tricks up your sleeve as well (it's a small world). I wish we could have met up prior to my departure, but you know what... I'll be back. When I do, I'll hit ya up so you can take me for a ride in the beast. Im a single man now, so riding in your whip, Im definitely gettin some down the Waikiki strip! My only request is we change out that flag on your rear view mirror for a Texas one! Hope to hear from you soon Brother, take care out there!

That means alot Bro I hope You and the Wife are doing well. I have yet to see any pics of the Lotus you just recently purchased (that's gotta be a blast). I would be tearing up some serious gravel on those vacant North Shore roads while enjoying the beach/mountain views with that mean machine! When I go back to visit, I would like to meet up so we can talk cars and catch up. I hope all is well on your end and it's great hearing from you. Humuhumunukunukuapua'a!!!

Thanks for the kind words bro. The UAS has saved me many times as well. Im used to manually adjusting my ride height but I think in the near future I will be getting the electronic ride height controller. If you hook up the TEIN system with your UAS im gonna have to drive down and see that ish for myself

Looks badass... Long nose and slammed is the ONLY way to go on a ZR

Got any pics of your air setup? I'd be curious to see what your trunk (or lack of) looks like.
