I haven't driven my car all week (did a decent detail and installing ST800) and have been driving a Lexus GS350 lowered with custom made 21" rims. I was hoping that would at least get a few looks, but nothing at all. Man I miss driving my Z already. It's so funny how I got so used to people snapping their neck when they see me go by that when I don't have that it makes me feel neglected

I think well I'm doing the brakes on the lexus I'm going to test fit the rims on my car lol. I don't know if they'll fit over the brakes though, offset is probably in the 30's. It's going to look pretty funny though.

You car is beautiful by the way. I'm sure you get that all the time. I didn't even want aftermarket rims till I saw yours.

 

That's gonna be a nice DD What was your DD before this one?

 

Can't tell you awesome that is!

 

I used my mom's Honda Accord haha...this one will be more fun...and thanks King!

I'm currently driving two states away to get this thing...got it for $5000, and of course no one around Cincinnati is selling these, especially for that price!

 

Congrats again on the car! How's the JWT setup? I'm thinking of putting that clutch/fly setup on the Nismo when it goes under the knife. I want to know how it's holding up and how it feels. If not I'll be going with an OS Giken twin. Also, how are you liking BOOST now? :thumb up:

 

Moar pics of the 300ZX

 

Damn that's nice DD

 

Ok...haha

So quick update on that 300zx. I started really looking into the body once I bought it, and found a good amount of rust and thousands of dollars worth of body work to get it back to beauty. I know its my DD, but I've always wanted one of these, and dont really want a junker. SO, someone offered me to buy it for 1000$ more than I paid so I took it. Boost is fun, I will say that much, but I will find another one, a much cleaner one soon!

Anyways, just wanted to give that update since I just put up a pic of it haha...

 

This made me LOL.
Haha, damn.. congrats on making money! Boost really is fun, but you will find another one and it'll be worth paying a bit more for one that doesn't have rust. I've always wanted a Z32, and one day I too will own one.

 

Too bad you found all that rust. The picture sure didn't show any. Glad you got the money back and more!

No turbo in your future with the Nismo?

 

Nothing wrong with flipping it if you deep down inside don't want it!

S14 & a rust bucket 240z
S13 & a rust bucket 240z
crx & a rust bucket 240z

 

^HAHA, yea man, the two cars I have my eye on now with this cash I made are another (clean) 300zx tt or a s14 kouki...I've always wanted a 300zx, so I probably will hold off and get one of those. I actually already found one completely stock, perfect paint, perfect interior, 113k miles for 5500$...so I'm going to look at that this weekend. Oh and I did keep the greddy boost controller from this past 300zx, so I'll have a head start on modding! BUT, all that said, my nismo is still my baby, its so powerful, it snaps your head back, unlike the 300zx...because of turbo lag. Anyways, I love my Nissans, such an expensive addiction...haha

 

bump....whats new...

 

 

Hey..wuts new?

 

He's been a ghost on here lately

 

I think he's preoccupied with football season...lol

 

+1, He's busy with the Bengals! :thumb up:

 

HEY!!!! LOL, sorry I have been neglecting this thread, I'm sorry! Yes I have been busy watching football and praying a lot...(For my Bengals because it WILL take a miracle...lol) Really though, I started a new job, been super busy...Things will clear up after Christmas though, so that's a relief.

I ended up selling that 300zx and getting a 98 Integra GSR as a daily. The 300zx needed quite a bit of work on everything but the engine, and wasn't really a smart choice as a DD...This integra though is in near to mint condition, so I am working on slamming that, and making that a ballin' DD!

As far as my z goes, I had to readjust my suspension because after my last autocross, I screwed up my alignment somehow, and a bolt came loose on my coilovers...but other than that I've been keeping my eye out for a cage/seats/steering wheel, because that's next. Now that I have a reliable DD, I can keep the miles off my z, and really focus on making the z more of a track car...

ALSO, i haven't been whoring pics of my z because my Nikon crapped out on me, but I am planning on ordering a Canon 7D around Christmas so I'll make the thread a bit more interesting then haha...I got a shoot planned with a couple photographers around Cincy within the next month, so no worries, new pics will be up soon!

OH AND...I plan on asking my GF of 4+ years the big question on Dec 10, wish me luck!

 

^full of win
