DavyZ Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Wow, the car is coming together very nicely...looks like you are nearly finished with the work. I think you'll have one of the nicest Z cars in Sweden! You do some really good custom work. Is this your only Z project or will you get another one?

sir_daniel Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 thanks! i think that my next nissan/datsun project will be a nissan skyline R33 rb25det 4-door hopefully will i have the money after the summer so i can do some work during the winter... but for now i am pleased with my datsun. i might have got a new sponsor on the car, will discuss the details with the sponsor this week. the sponsorship is about audio stuff: new speakers, amps, wirening and if i want a new subwoofer (but then i have to modify my subwoofer box) more details when the deal is finnished.

sir_daniel Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 time for a new update. i have to present my new sponsor (http://www.n-core.se) they are a audioretailer, that has among many brands Phoenix Gold. this is what they will sponsor me with, and wirening. front speakers RSD6.5CS Amps OctaneR8.0:1 samt OctaneR5.0:4 the will later on (when i got the time to continue modding the interor) give me 4" coax and a new 15" sub or 2 15" subs.

sir_daniel Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 got the new speakers and amps yesterday, today i will install them. i will most likely rebuild the boot floor to make a nicer installation for the new aps. the coverplate on the amps (the metall plates) will most likely be replaces with material (don't know the english word for it) someone that knows the english work and can tell me that? anyway i will cut this in the same shape a the original plate and paint in in the cars colour, then will i sand the top of it so the highest spots get back to being metall finnish. think that might look nice. pictures will come during the day.

DavyZ Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 ...the coverplate on the amps (the metall plates) will most likely be replaces with material (don't know the english word for it) someone that knows the english work and can tell me that? It looks like "diamond plate" to me although I have not seen that pattern before. Aluminum, yes? It will look good Kiss your sponsor.

sir_daniel Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 yes it's aluminium. got the soundsystem working, OH MY GOD how the subwoofer sounds!!! IT'S AMAZING!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_daniel Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 was at my first carshow today... it was a styling company here in sweden that was the host. they also sold defect products and products that didn't have room in their storage. so i found a carbonfiber spoiler that the clearcoat was scratched on and was cracked at some spots... no problem i thought and bought it at a quite nice price. i will just sand it down and put some new clearcoat on it and it will be as good as new =) perhaps i even paint it partly in the cars colour and perhaps make a Z in the end of the spoiler, could be nice. so to the pictures.

sir_daniel Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 a picture taken on the show, unfortenually so was it very dusty there hence we was parked on a grawel covered parkingplace outside Realcar.se. the exterior and interor got wery dirty even though i walshed and cleaned and pollished the car when i arrived there before the public was allowed in. the wirening to the subwoofer is just temporary and it will be fixes with new wires and how it is placed. quite cool with the 15" audiobahn subwoofer, attracts quite alot of attension =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_daniel Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 a small update. started to modify my Skyline R33 taillights today. after some cutting does it starts to look like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Great--thanks for posting the picture updates! I have a set of the same taillights, but I wasn't sure just how to disassemble them. It's almost like the lenses are part of the outer assembly even though they are not. Since they are somewhat exclusive, I have fears about breaking them or cracking the lenses so I'm thinking of leaving them as they are and trying graft them into the Z's rear taillight panel. Eh, we'll see. Great work on the car so far Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_daniel Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 DavyZ it wasn't that hard, i used an electrical saw taht cut away the repeaters and backlinglight then had to cut som other plastic parts away to make it fit the original lightcover. hope this will be a nice change in the rear part of the car. more pictures and text will come when i have done something with them.
