Talk me out of painting my Nismo...or NOT?

motoextreme · 01-17-2010, 07:23 PM

Thanks guys, cool thing is its not just the look but wow does it drive nice. KW's are SOOO worth the spend!

Looking forward to seeing your ride Marco, saw all your parts on the floor, going to be sweet. Just need to make sure you attend some of the meets up here once its done.

Car is done just in time for a weeks worth of storms...oh well.

YamahaR6 · 01-17-2010, 08:13 PM

Speechless....

One question:

Is the direction on the Front Brake Disc in the right direction?

zero · 01-17-2010, 08:16 PM

Adam, my wife, Jen wants to come see it again at the next meet. The car’s looked awesome. She said you need a disco ball liked the one she got in her z.

LiquidZ · 01-17-2010, 08:41 PM

Cool project!

haha this is true.

iceman21_23 · 01-17-2010, 08:59 PM

hey adam have you thought about spraying the exhaust black as well?

motoextreme · 01-17-2010, 09:31 PM

Hey there Zero, your wife was really wonderful. My wife looks forward to meeting with her, she was really pleasant to talk to, I wish her the best in her new endeavor.

Brakes....ummmm...didnt even think about that, suppose I better take a look huh?

Exhaust, Hmmmm, maybe a good idea. I'm pretty much sold on the Turbo deal and dropping the SC plans (I know, back and forth) but Lou let me take a Evo for a ride when my car was under construction and I loved it. I'm going the turbo route for sure now so when its apart I could anodize it.

Thanks for the suggestion, good idea

Danny3.7 · 01-17-2010, 09:51 PM

LoVe It! I wish i could see it person

schrute · 01-17-2010, 09:52 PM

New pics = Amazing.

My computer has new wallpaper, hope you don't mind

+Rep (again, lol)

motoextreme · 01-17-2010, 09:56 PM

You the man and your parts are going out Tuesday as well as some of the others I owe a few board members. I would get them out tomorrow but Lou's shop is closed Monday's and I had to leave everything there, no room in the Z.

Wish it wasn't raining, I'd take it for a flight through the canyon right now. Dont mind driving in the rain but Carbon Canyon is a nightmare when its wet, everyone tops out at about 10MPH...oh well.

Thinking about hitting Angela's crest next Saturday or perhaps the Rock store if weather improves. FUN FUN

First paint of krylon outdoor paint s now on the grills, just need to fix that bump on the nose, color sand the tailights and she's done done done. Oh yeah, and get my turbo kit but I need to wait until April or so.

like i did yesterday, i call BS on you being 'done'.

motoextreme · 01-18-2010, 12:09 AM

How's this...done until I replenish my savings

Tyrell Tyson · 01-18-2010, 12:08 AM

It looks great mang, nice work

Now heres my thoughts checking out all your new pics

Good move removing the gold stripes......!!!!!!

I'm feelin something not quite right about the hood and the roof, being more gloss. It seems to slice the car horizontally, upper being gloss, lower being more matte. Feels like two different cars, the car is fighting itself, doesnt know if it wants to be matte or gloss or hybrid.

It feels like the car is saying it wants to be more matte.. i know you didn't want to go overboard with matte black on everything but the rims gold is a bit like gold jewelry on a guy, ok in small doses, too much and looks a bit

Like you said in person it probably looks sexual
