Long time no update....lol
Look at this
What do you see? I personally see my car...contently waiting for me to play/drive it! I've been watching a lot of the "Toy Story" series because of my babies and for me to see this guy outside my hangar bay...brought the feels...I grabbed him and made a few "peeew pew pew" noises...rested him back to wait for the next time someone grabs him...
Crazy but what if in another ultra alternate universe things of the "Toy Story" reality were real for us? I think my car and mostly everything in my life would be happy with me as I with them.
Never stop playing and appreciating the things you have...I guess the moral of that story lol
Back to the progress...or lack thereof
I've been removing redundant plastic covering and consistently trimming away at the car as usual. As seen I wrapped a few pieces in cheap suede to bring back the interior to a pleasant state.
Took it out to Lanakai beach park...super rich area of Hawaii. Got nothing but stares/honks/waves from the locals/tourist and a few Porsche drivers had to act as if they won't watching lol
Oh yea so this is the shop my OEM V3 wing has sat for the last year almost two years! Why well I'm always trying to do new/different things with the car? Sadly this idea will have to be shelved. I however got "ONE" riser made? Yes the shop manager/drifter is a busy man and I understand that and the way the V3 wing is makes it very difficult! The groves in-between where the wing separates isn't flat. So makes a metal based riser is a challenge....so I might ship it off to get 3D scanned and inverted to have the other side made...then possibly mass produced?
Just more dreams, I'll have pics soon
Random pics
Here's a picture of the skid/breast plates I made for the LTH/y-pipe flange...all bolts and sheet metal if you are underneath the car you'll see exactly how I did it seek the chassis has little holes that can be used to bolt it to the car.
As you guys know I'm always down to assist with many other projects! Above is a friend's DE which has it fair share of mods! Actually has them all! As many of you know the rev limit is a huge gap to make up in the differences of the DE/RevUp/HR/VHR. It's a little dishearten that the NA route is more traveled to better enhance that part of the market! It's hard road when they're no pavement<-----see what I did there

Nice to see you are not treating your Nismo like a virgin. What is under where the glove box should be stopping it from being a "GLOVEBOX" on a 350Z? Airbag? The thingy behind the passenger seat has to be a sick joke.

what engine is in the white car
5/13/2013 weighted in at 3160
Driver Seat reduced 9(-16lbs)
Steering Wheel w/airbag (-5lbs)
Trim shifter and lower console (-5lbs)
Full tank of gas (-70lbs)
Completely removed speaker/cubby box (-22lbs)
Trunk auto latch (-2lbs)
Remove the above would place me at 3040lbs

First off....I wanna take a few moments of silence for the 15 Nismo Z.
one moment
two moment
three moment...I think you get the idea, I'm completely discussed at it. No wing? Cool sounds super Nismo to me? No increased performance...yea it's not a GT-R but come on guys (NISSAN) give us some more.
I'm not going to go any further into it because really I can't do anything about anything lmao
So looking back and double checking my ricer math I'm not as light as I thought. I previously thought I was sub 3k with the passenger seat. 3080 minus fuel would roughly be 3040 dry. Either way just means more to be done...
I've also been reading up and fooling around with UpRev so road tuning is coming...soon to be off to the side of the road with a blown engine
On a serious note very easy stuff to grasp!
Also giving up on my various wing projects because I have no time to walk someone through what I envision. I do have however one side to it...Still contacting some people to see if I can get rich or not?

King, car looks good man! I was planning on doing the personal steering wheel, but I didn't want to get rid of the cruise control for the Uprev. Btw, in regards to tuning. I have a buddy with the same Nismo and he has most of the bolt ons and got uprev tuned a few weeks ago. What was weird was I was still pulling him. I would've expected him to pull past me. Could have been weather, but we plan on getting a few videos soon when we're both free.

bolt on mods are nothing without driver mod. You should show him some pointers ! Also the amount of quality tuning put into the car can vary from tuner to tuner...
I'm hating the waiting game I'm playing right now being away from family friends and the car...
mainly the car
