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

motoextreme · 12-30-2009, 02:57 PM

Hung out at the shop for a couple hours. I've said it before and I'll say it again, really like these guys...fun to hang with too.

So spraying it for sure tomorrow and looks like I'll get it back Friday. Still needs to go to the next shop for the CO's and the Brakes but I may just do that myself if I have time (Brakes, not coilovers.)

Ordered new carbon seats for the 1600 Roadster today too as I got a great deal!

Busy busy

PS. Lets see that flat black nismo!!! SHARE!!!

Have they started spraying it yet moto? I'm so anxious to see this thing its making me sick. haha

motoextreme · 12-30-2009, 04:06 PM

Its getting sprayed today and assembled tomorrow. They had some suggestions with a little more black gloss on the top and more of a satin then Matte and I trust them so I said lets go for it.

I'll have tons of pics as soon as she wraps up and then I'll put the focus on the little Z sitting lonely in my garage...

I'd like to do a little more to the motor but I need to chill on the spending for a while and slow down a tad

do the coilovers yourself, its very easy. The fronts should come preassembled, so its just a matter of swapping them out and the rears are really easy.

Good to know...I'll do just that. Thanks man.

I am Krab Kitteh, I approve this thread and I am in for pics!

motoextreme · 01-01-2010, 09:09 AM

OK, I'm heading down there on Saturday to see her and hopefully have pics to share.

Granted, still need to do some of the finishing touches but HOPEFULLY I can have it back in my possession by Monday if not Saturday. I have so many parts stacked up at home that I want to try and get them on before I leave the Country Monday. DAMN I don't want to go right now but work calls...

I'll have more info tomorrow, can't wait!

We had a little problem....Sorry to say I wont have pics until next weekend as I have to fly to Hong Kong for business and wont be back for 10 days. Wife said she will take pics while I'm gone

Sorry guys, I'm really not thrilled either but we wanted to make some changes so it held it all up. Long story short, its more of a Satin then Matte but it WILL be worth the wait.

COMING SOON!!!!

motoextreme · 01-08-2010, 10:53 PM

OK, car is done Monday and going to Ampllfied for a day or two for the brakes and coilovers. I'll have it back next weekend for certain.

As soon as I get back from Hong Kong I'll send some more pics but here's the one I received from my buddies at RAW.

Let me know what you think.

More pics coming soon..
