Nice! Good work and let us know how she rides

 

Here's a few more pics from my Iphone, I plan to have some professional photos taken shortly. Got the exhaust on and it sounds orgasmic! Pretty much all the mechanical issues have been taken care of, still need a bushing or two replaced but other than that I'm golden. Car drives amazing, and I'm so glad to have it back. Still in the break in stage so I haven't really gotten to put her through her paces, but in time Body shop needs to touch up a few minor areas that need to be polished but overall I'm very happy with the outcome.

 

Yeah, except he cheaped out on EVERYTHING... ughh I'm still paying for those cheap mistakes... Oh well

Future mod plans include:
Hotchkis sway bars
SPC endlinks
stillen high flow cats
Motordyne XYZ pipe
Whiteline bushings
and possibly some headers maybe stillen ceramic coated... IDK I heard a lot of HR guys don't get very much if any gains from headers since ours were designed well...

 

Looking good Travis! It's Kevin btw lol. Just decided to start fresh. Saw the pics on here and yeah the black spoiler looks good. Those pics you posted on the page for some reason didn't come out right. haha

 

LOL hey Kevin, and thanks man! It's been a labor of love, that's for sure.

 

Yeah, I hear you on that. Atleast you took the time and effort to "uncheap" the car.

 

bump

How have you been liking it!

 

Hey King, well, I just recently moved to Arkansas, and everything local is fairly close to where I live so I'm not commuting anymore. I kind've miss driving the nismo more, but I absolutely love the car. I have some professional pics being touched up and should be finished by next week I'm hoping. I'll post them on here when I get them. The only thing bothering me is the RJM clutch pedal assembly I installed. I don't know how many nismo owners on here have one installed but mine will click intermittently and it's driving me nuts. At first it was perfect but recently it will pop when I'm releasing the clutch. It is the master cylinder rod catching against the sleeve on the side of the firewall opening I believe, but I don't understand why it's intermittent. I love the new engagement point it provides though, it really is like driving a whole new car. I'm hoping to pull the trigger on some Stillen cats and a MD XYZ resonated very soon. How about you? How's your deployment?

Edit: I adjusted the RJM bracket, it seems it was off too much to the left against the firewall, it's perfect now.

 

Finally got the finished pics back from the photographer... Took longer than expected but it was worth the wait. Very happy with how they came out.

 

few more...

 

Great pics!

The more I look at it, the more I like the painted spoiler.

 

Thanks! I've gotten a lot of love/hate opinions about it... I think it flows very well with the theme and I'm pretty sure it's one of those things you need to see in person. Somebody told me it looks like a stormtrooper, which may be its new nickname now lol. I may have to come up with some kind of decal now...

 

Oh my, this is a shame to see my car so jacked up after I sold it. I am Jason, I sold the car because my wife and I planned on having a baby. It's nice to see it looking nice again. I am sorry to see you had such a horrible time with her. I still regret the day I traded it in. The paint job was G10: Galaxy Black a Nissan limited edition color, KV7 (I believe) the color of my 02 Maxima, and the red was House of Color Kandy Apple Red with a DARK grey (almost black) undercoat. It is so sad to see it was dogged on by the person that bought it from the dealer after me. I am glad to see she found a loving home though. There used to be pictures on this site of the in progress, etc. This car has had a ROUGH life man, if you would like the back story of how I bought it with 750 miles on it hit me up.

Found it.

When it was finished the car looked like it was meant to be made that way from the factory imo of course, the pictures do it no justice.

I almost cried when I saw your pictures of it messed up.

 

The car looks very sexy btw, nice and clean.

 

Hey man! I actually did know you previously owned the car, my painter found the note your bodyshop left on the inside of the front bumper, along with the c@ck and ***** on the inner door handle lol. We looked you up on facebook and saw one of the finished pics before you sold the nismo. The next owner of the car was some Puerto Rican guy who lived in Florida and worked for Miami Imports... I forget his name, but he really did trash the car. Fortunately, she is pretty much back up to my standard. Need to modify a few things but overall I'm happy. Any other info you can provide, I'd love to know. Especially any mods I may not be aware of. From what I could tell it was bone stock minus the R-tune intakes and the paint. Thanks for reaching out to me, I'll be at the ZCON this year in Memphis if you're close by and want to see your old car!

 

I put the backstory of the car in a PM to you, here's the story of the **** lol.

The **** is a thing I used to mess with Kody about doing to all the great custom jobs he did. I told him to hide it somewhere the customer would never see it in everyday life. Well the door handles and wheels were painted after the car because I felt it would look better that way, i was right, that's when he must have done it. He told me about the **** right after he did it and I informed him that that defeated the purpose of a surprise. However, I did not know he wrote that on the rear bumper, I shot him the pics of the car, he was sad to see what happened to it to say the least.

 

I can't tell you how many times I have typed Nismo 0725 into google with high hopes of it popping up.

 

You sir are a godsend for 0725! Took ***** to get through it. Congrats on sticking to it

 

Cool story of 0725 nice job on your nismo keep it up!

 

Thanks guys, I definitely did consider abandoning ship and cutting my losses but I knew I'd lose a lot of money regardless, if I finished it or just parted ways so I bit the bullet. Kno, your Z almost made me change my mind and go solar orange LOL, sometimes I still wish I had.

Jason, is that how you found this thread?
