I do all my own prepping and finishing. So he just paints them and does the work in between coats of paints. Like fine sanding and taping / masking off.

I do the first prep. And I also do the final wet sanding and buffing myself. So it saves me a lot of $$$
Excellent, thanks. I'm going to be needing a new bumper painted soon, so just collecting data points to compare quotes against.

Thanks man, paint job is only as good as the prep tho :tiphat: so thanks to me too. Hahaha

But.. Yeah side splitters are coming next! Not sure what else I have planned! I added a silver Nismo style stripe to the steering wheel as well !! :tup: and whatever comes to my mind!

No problem at all. Yeah don’t get ripped off and don’t be afraid to help out (prep parts and do final sand and buff if you have the products / materials) it saves a LOT of time for painter which therefore saves you LOTS OF MONEY! :tup:



Foam cannon’d her today! Gonna get a photo shoot and possible videos done tomorrow. Will keep everyone posted! :tup:

I know its from the foam cannon just messing with you. Lol
Very nice Z well done I love it. Your rear camber is negative 3 or more? Looks huge negative camber there. But nice drop.

Running coils or bags?

Yep -3.5 in Rear and -2.5 Front!
I run Tanabe Coilovers, just run the “bag riders” license plate frame to be PUNNY!
And I got a really good hookup at the Nissan dealership! So I got everything at cost & had them painted at my paint guys small body shop and installed myself!

Well the 5.0 def had more power up top but it’s pretty same maybe even less than the Z low / mid power. The 2.0T was fun but gave me nothing but issues. I guess you could just say since the GTR is my dream car. I love a VQ motor and I love the sound, TQ on the Z platform. And how mod friendly they are. Plus the body lines and shape of Z is incomparable! :tup:

AstatenateZ 09-24-2018 01:47 PM
Going to get tuned in the next few weeks at Corr Performance with my bolt on mods, TSP1 intakes, Z1 ported manifold, PCV delete, AAM test pipes and TSP1 catback!!


Stay tuned :tup:

AstatenateZ 09-29-2018 07:49 PM
Heading back from tune shop. We managed to make 312 whp baseline , 341 whp and 267 tq! Will upload dyno sheets when turner sends then via email. She is running VERY HEALTHY! :tup:
