My first car.

[nbesheer]

This is how I got it back in 2005 for $5,000 (I know way too much money)

I immediately removed that stupid bra... I like my women topless. (The bra is up for grabs if anyone wants it FREE)

This is the inside. I've since removed that key pad thing, the steering wheel cover, the radio although if it worked properly I would have loved to keep it, the sheep skin seat covers, I now have red and black covers but the seats are in perfect condition.

The engine bay, I added the CAI, removed the injector cooling fan, the air horns. And I replaced the washer hoses.

Now all that stuff and removing the fog lights made it look pretty cool... like THIS (it's hiding behind a newer fake Z but still.)

Then i pretty much did not do anything to it besides replacing clutch and brake lines with SS lines. then I hit a guard rail so I had this big dent on my right rear fender that looked dumb, and another dent above the wheel when i decided I was so mad that I crashed that I would hit the body panel I thought I would have to replace anyways so I punched the car some more from the inside this time and painted the bare metal so I won't get rust and came up with this!

That's all for now but some major things in the works soon... got me some things to powercoat and suspension to install as well as my head light covers...

Okay well I got tired of not having my head light covers on so I finally reinstalled them here they are, their screwed in this time.

Now when I got the car there were these chrome fender lip protector things that were dumb and added a ton of BS bling so I pulled the left side off and I'm not too sure how I like it. The car was repainted 14 years ago and under the chrome strips it's the original color and you can see the difference in red if your looking for it

Now a couple weeks ago I was driving and I noticed this crack, it made me so angry that I forgot where I was driving to...

so today I bought a dash cap which is kinda off to put on, needs some adjustments and I'm not going to put that silicone glue on and my double sided sticky tape doesn't bond to the dash so I just kinda have it snapped in place and the edge in front is all loose but it still looks good in my opinion. I had to trim the area by the cruise control, you can see my new stereo too.

Okay so last Saturday I got my suspension installed I had so much fun doing it, it was great

I didn't do a walk through or nothing but I should have I don't have any great pictures really.

 

Although these guys helped me a whole bunch,

We kept blaming the short guy for messing things up... like striping the rear sway bar mount so I had to grind it out and replace it

Well I went to a junk yard the other day and picked up some early S130 taillights and took them apart, cleaned them up, repainted, and replaced.

 

Freshly removed

 

Interior

 

Lenses

 

Trim painted and lenses cleansed

 

All installed.

 

I think these look much better then the old one with stripes.

[nbesheer]

Well haven't really done much to the car. But here are some pictures of it in a local show a couple weeks ago.

Well I got my pallnet fuel rail installed last week. I must say he is very nice to deal with for parts.

 

 

Also I was getting annoyed about my door rattling all the time while closed and what I did was wrap some electrical tape over this bushing thing.

 

 

I do not know how long it will last but it seems to be working for now.

[nbesheer]

So I got some new wheels. 15x6.5 hoshino impuls ($760.00)

 

 

Here one is with tires (Falken Zeix 912 205/60/15)

 

 

And here are some shots of them on my car.

 

 

 

 

Over all I love the difference of the tires. I used to have Pirelli P400's 205/70/14 and I was not impressed.

[nbesheer]

Alright I've gotten a few new things for the Z but I don't have pictures of all of them. I picked up these harnesses off of a member here. they are comfortable, and look good.

Okay so I started doing a lot of work on the car for the JCCS 2008. Which included repainting the wheels, and adding some body styling.

Old and busted

half way through, at least these are not that intricate to mask off.

And the finished product, looks super good compared to the old.

 

Got some rear splash guards installed.

Now even those they mock up perfectly, and are indeed designed for the later style bumpers, the mounting points are incorrect, so I just mocked them up and drilled though the holes that were already there, through the rubber bumper thing and though the lip on the fender, threw some body clip fasteners on there and boom done.

 

Here's it in the drive way, I didn't realize how terrible my photos were that day but this is the best one showing the car. But if you notice I got a very early hatch with no wiper or sprayer and painted it a satin black, which I think looks pretty good.

 

 

Here I am at a unnamed shop getting a test pipe made and installed.

 

actually here is a good shot from JCCS (Thanks JNC)

 

 

And what did all my hard work net me ?

This

 

 

I was pretty surprised myself.

 

I finally got around to installing my T3 RCAs

 

 

 

 

Well, that is it for now. Expect more cool stuff after I pay off the Visa
