Kingbaby, why do you think you need nitrous with no track? $150 to fill is a little much for just street use.

It is and I'm not going to be using it like that. Don't picture me spraying at ever chance I get...lol. I already think it's too F&F. I just would like to experience it. Maybe do a top speed run with it and call it a day. Trust me if and when I do it, I'll be doing it conservatively. It's too expensive 1lb is basically 1 pull. I'm not settling down here in Hawaii however nice it is. I'm still pondering wether to pull the trigger on that or save and get some Enkei's 18f/19r which saves 40lbs compared to stock. My trim isn't flat flat black. It's more a satin finish than anything. I have monies but now I haz a families and already my wife thinks I'm spending too much time with the car in whatever form i.e. forums/random phone calls from club members/even going outside to see if it's still there .


Most I've done with thecar in the last two weeks is move it in and out of the garage ....

I know that feeling! My wife accuses me of loving the NISMO more than her!

Due to a severe hand injury I haven't been able to drive the NISMO in 6 weeks and don't know when I will.

^^^ wish u a speedy recovery also!

@kingbaby - When did you get married?!?!?!?! I agree about the wife and spending money on the Z, i fight this battle at least once a week and even convincing her about the extra 7-9 g's i'ma need for the build is a losing battle. Its a 50/50 whether my project will be done this summer or next summer

So...I'm back in vacation and relaxing and it's hard!

So...I been meaning to make a diffuser and today was that day. It's very simple and it gets rid of that open area that a sigle exhaust creates.

Along with that I wrapped the ehuast no ceramic coating of any kind. Heard it makes it rust twice as fast. I don't drive in heavy weather so no worries anyways about rust.

Friend came by and I replaced a stripped stud/buffed his headlights...so I took his wheels off but then got lazy...

A better shot...I didn't take closer pictures of it or log how I did it. Cause I figure I get some hate for this little project on a Nismo. I still got to make it prettier than it sits now just put it on at this stage to test if it shifts or moves at high speeds. It holds and no random noises at 140+. Either way I feel good knowing it's back there. Whether it does anything is something for a anthropologist! Lol I know it does lmao.

May 8th is right round the corner! Stoked to get this tune...the results from that pave way for wether I jump ship to my 240sx or go all out with it...i.e. Braille battery/clutch/flywheel/cage/wheels/upgrade these coilovers!

I know the owner got it for a steal with tires...$1500 and he's looking to switch up already. Next time he comes over definitely going the whole way to see them on the car.
