The new “what did you do to your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXVIII

johnxxx · 10-09-2020, 04:14 PM

Jon and Brian invited me down for a quick visit today and to finalize build. It would probably be easier to tell you what I didn't get... lmao. Leisurely four hour round trip... all highway. Took a tour around the shop as well. Super nice and knowledgeable. Parts are on order and prolly looking at the first of the year for my car build to start. That's about the time I'll have my motor ready and FI TT kit delivered. On sched for a Spring 2021 completion.

Saw some forum members cars there too!

Will start a build thread as we get closer. More to follow!

Ehh not too much they can do about it without witnessing it firsthand.

That and these are cars kinda rare and stick out anyway.

Officer Friendly "What was he driving?"

Them "The *insert color* Z"

One of these years I'm getting some White Sox plates.

Don't steal it either

They are so rare around here very few know what a Nismo is. I hide out in cogneto all the time. Nobody is the wiser.

I can't put a White Sox plate on my car; my parents are married

That is an older pic though. The updated ones say Land Of Corruption in the lower right and Hail Pritzker in the lower left

While hunting down the screen grab of that plate I found some stuff Melissa is/was working on. She took a bunch of rolling shots that didn't come out great (we are both still learning) but with some editing made for some ok pics. I love how it goes from goofy floofy to Mr. Serious

Have to show the wifey when I get home.

Driving with your knees and spare leg are tricky when trying to get funny rolling shots.

Had to pick up 8' of -10 stainless steel braided hose, a few AN fittings and a few other various small fittings from Earl's today for my sc oil feed/return and oil cooler. Damn, a little over $300.00. And that was with a 30% discount.
