Hey guys, sorry about the lack of updates, I had to move from one apartment to another so life was crazy hectic the past couple weeks. Not to mention finishing off the nismo. Well good new! Its complete! well for the most part anyways.

Here is the new pad! Its so bare lol i have to fill it up with stuff still.

Got the master cylinder installed and flashed the car with the GTM tune. Man it was a pain to bleed the clutch. I know the car is very dusty from being in the shop for almost 2 months!

Reinstalled the wheel wells and front bumper.

Once everything was installed and set, i went for a couple drives and started to data log. Everything looks pretty good as far as i can tell other then being a little rich. I will get a custom tune for sure once i have time. Once my clutch was broken in, i decided to meet up with some local Z enthusiats and go for a cruise.

The drive was great! I was getting 30 mpg according to my guage lol. On the way back home i got a little too excited and my foot slipped onto the accelerator...oops. There goes my perfect driving record

Later that night, a few other buddies wanted to go for a drive.

Ended up meeting up with some supras and cobras. It was a blast giving them a good run for their money.

Didnt get back home till past 2 am.

Oh ya, the blow off valve on this thing is retarded loud lol. Once i have time i'll start posting some videos once i have my go pro. So ya, still have to install my guages and engine oil cooler. But thats all in good time. I'll keep the updates coming as they roll in.

Hey guy, sorry for the lack of updates you know, life and all. I got some videos you might like. Just hold tight.

Edit

Here are some videos of me drfting at the track. I know they are shitty quality, i dont know anyone with good camera gear

http://youtu.be/c6rlaSySVvY


http://youtu.be/usUapn61s9M

As for updates, nothing too crazy going on. Just ordered some RE-11's for the rears (obvious reasons lol). Im happy with having them on the front, so im pretty excited to have them on all four corners. One of these days im going to hit up the road course for some lapping, drifting is hard on tires

Default Summer Update!

Hey guys! Sorry about the lack of updates, life be cray. The Nismo is running like a champ so far and no issues what so ever. Only mods that i have installed since are AEM A/F guage and AEM boost guage on the a-pillar. Ill post pics of them one of these days.

Also i guess my only gripe is the sound of the by-pass valve. The thing is effing LOUD. Like im not kidding, if your driving up against a barrier or a retaining wall on the road, you will roll the windows up. What i've done to quiet it down a bit is clamp a radiator hose to the flange of the by pass valve and route it to vent into the engine bay instead of venting towards the front right tire.

Other then that not too much going on, been going to a few drift practices and shreading tires. I currently have Potenza RE-11 tires on all corners (F:245/40/18 R:265/35/19) and its awesome! the grip is amazing. I have so much more confidence in the corners and have yet to find a car that can keep up in the twisties lol.

Anyways ill try and check in a lil more often and keep the updates flowing. Im trying to get ahold of some pictures from my drift events and i'll post them up when i get them.
