Told ya I was going to pull the trigger haha :stirthepot:

Also decided to get myself into more trouble when looking around on their website lol... by ordering the Top Secret Carbon Fiber B pillars.

Also looking at the Mocal oil cooler thermostatic plate conversion kit. but I need to make sure that the input fittings are the same for the Thermo plate from Mishimoto and Mocal. If so, I'd be able to make the swap. If not I will have to find one with the correct fittings.

Also looking at the Motordyne ART Pipes to slap on as well

Yo buddy as an enthusiast who had the opportunity to meet you in person and all. I gotta say it makes me very happy to see how far you've brought your Z along and the personal touch you're giving it :) though I may not fully agree with your tastes all the time I gotta say your Z is pristine and on point man. Again, I'd like to congratulate you on your Z and your successful installs! Keep it up man, she'll be a beautiful beast very soon, I'm glad I got to meet you and see the development of your ride... Keep it Z birdman! Haha

Yes, I replaced the G with a Z, it's cheesy but Zuck it XD haha

Thank you much and kindly on the compliments Mig! :tiphat:

Its okay on switching out the letters, it was whitty haha! Anyway you Zucker lol... my tastes may not be the same as yours no haha but then again that's why everyone's build is their own. I could also see a discrepancy between our ideas cause you were wanting to raise your Z to be a ralley car and I want that show car haha.

We need to meet up again sometime soon so I can see some of the progress you have made recently too. I don't think you have a build with pictures or anything. If so I am wayyyyyy late on that lol :eekdance:


Thanks again brotha and Zuck it! lol:stirthepot:

As of right now I have an order in for the R1 Titan shift knob as well as the Top Secret Carbon Fiber B Pillars. Both have been ordered from Bulletproof Automotive and cannot wait until they are in my hands! Will be doing some more research on the Mocal Thermostatic Conversion plate, to eliminate any issues with the Mishimoto Thermostatic Plate.

***UPDATE***

After talking with John over at Bulletproof Automotive some more regarding the parts I had ordered and upon confirming with Top Secret that the order will be placed and in production; Top Secret is no longer making many of their Carbon Fiber Parts and have discontinued them (even ones that have be re-continued) due to the quality of product not coming out to their standard of quality.

Due to the Top Secret and Zele Carbon Fiber B Pillars being the same price, I just easily switched my order over to Zele. When John confirmed that they had the part in production he let me know and from the invoice sent over by the accounting department, the Zele Carbon Fiber B Pillars are already reading to be shipped from Zele Japan,

Of course the product doesn't look that much different besides any logo embossing, here is the new pic from Bulletproof Automotive on the Zele Carbon Fiber B Pillars

Yeah just a couple notes to you about the ACT clutch if you went with the nd2 xtss, like I have, and NOT the hdss...
1. don't high rev downshift
2. don't downshift PERIOD lol, throw it in neutral and coast into a stop
3. Brake pads are cheaper than clutches in parts and labor
4. Learn from my dumbass
