Lizzette...
 
Well after a few month I wanted to share the story how I got this car. Currently I am in school at Cal Baptist Univercity. Im in a double major General Engineering and Business.I am also in the Army Reserves. I wasnt planning on getting a car. I had my car sponsered by Ait racing. It was a 2008 Nissan Altima 3.5

I got bored of the altima in January of this Year and I bought Lizzette. The car was amazing...stock. I told myself that I would't get any aftermarker parts for this car. The car went from:

to this:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y84...enluv/sgow.jpg

This car is a work in progress. I named the car Lizzette. All of my cars are girls lol. To me the best feature of Lizzette is :

Sorry I just love a big a$$ lol

This car is always a work in project. The wheels were also a hard choice. But after about a few months of waiting I got my new rims. I had my rims for about 2 months now. Venaci rims are hott damn. I was considering volk but everyone has volk. Venaci ..customs wheels custom setups. I love it.
The day I got my wheels installed:

Hard to work on the car while I am in school and in the reserves. I am leaving for more training in July 26-August 16.

The springs that I went with the Eibach. There are ok but I was a stiffer ride lol...thats what she said hahah

And then I heard about Fast Intentions. I heard the exhaust and I feel in love. I was contemplating berk but I was like screw it ..the customer service of F.I. was nice change for people just trying to sell you an exhaust. I went with the 12 inch res with the carbon fiber exhasut. No regrets. Great product.

Next was the intake. Still havent choosen to go with stillen or injen. Then ...all of a sudden AEM came out with there intake.

love the gains. No regrets yet!
Then came the stillen bumper.

Again stillen bumper fit perfect until there was a little gap. So I went to stillen and talked to Max about the issue and then Steve came out to talk about the issue with me. Very nice guy. They fixed the issue something really minor that my body shop didnt take off. They also installed my pully at the same time. Great service from stillen.

Very nice man!

Jamaica 06-23-2010 06:22 PM

I also have the seibon engine cover. It will be for sale soon. I recently purchased the nismo rear bumper, carbon fiber side skirts and nismo carbon fiber wing. I also have my original real diffuser. What I did was candied the diffuser. Same color on the car, I just colored it on the diffuser. It came out really really good:
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y84...v/95fbf3c4.jpg. I am going to do the same process with the side skirts and the wing. Thats it for now until I order the supercharger or tt kit. I was trying to have everything done by Spocom...but not so sure.

Lizzette is looking sweet though.

Sibze 06-23-2010 06:27 PM

370Z JT 06-24-2010 01:36 AM

If you had a chance to redo it again, would you go with Eibach again?

Jamaica 06-24-2010 02:28 AM

If I had to do it all again I would not of gone with eibach. I would have gone with coilovers. I want somethign stiffer.

Boost_lee 06-24-2010 03:29 AM

I like the Stillen bumper on MB

Great car, very inspirational for me :hello:

vividracing 06-24-2010 04:43 PM

Fly1 Motorsports 06-24-2010 11:35 PM

tbonesteak 06-25-2010 11:58 AM

thumbs up.

toxik 06-25-2010 03:42 PM

I remember you used to post on NICO all the time when you had the altima, even remember your thread when you got the Z. Looks nice.

Quick question, is that the EVO-R CF diffuser? What are you doing with it once you get your new rear bumper?

Jamaica 06-25-2010 10:05 PM

..good day picked up the last ****** kit from mike at 370Ztune. Thanks Mike for all the help and the long phone calls. Lets the Official project begin. I have bought so much things for my car and changed my mind..like every week. Finally got something thats worse while!

I bought two of the evo r diffusers. It was going to be a project but things changed. I sold one and the other is for sale if you want it.

Jamaica 06-29-2010 02:34 PM

Heres a little sneak preview of my new project:

Sibze 06-29-2010 02:35 PM

Very nice! I like the new headlights too. What bumber is that? the Amuse?

Cmike2780 06-29-2010 03:21 PM

Amuse bumper, sweet! Going all out I see. Are you doing a full body kit or just the front facia. I wan't to go that route in the future. The Amuse kit is simply amazing. Just out of curiosity how much does a good quality paint job for just the front facia run?

Jamaica 06-29-2010 04:31 PM

Yes full kit with wing but mine is going to have carbon fiber all over. For a good paint job maybe 1500 for the whole kit. Im not sure I havent been quoted yet for mine.

upwards to about $2k i'd think.

Jamaica 06-29-2010 04:44 PM

damn this kitttt is costing my some money

Cmike2780 06-29-2010 06:24 PM

Damn Jamaica. Over 6 grand for a kit & paint is an insane amount, but man is it worth it. Post some picks when your done and good luck with the build.

Jamaica 07-01-2010 12:40 AM

Well today I worked on the car for a bit. Trying to find new rotors and trying to add power to the car without going FI. ANDDD I withdrew from spocom because my car isn't going to ready by then. Taking the show winner tc. Just keeping my finger crossed for my new project goes well

docaam 07-03-2010 12:30 PM

awesome....subscribing

Jamaica 07-03-2010 02:41 PM

Looking for FI today. Stillen or GTM. The thing that I want is carb legal. Thats prob the biggest. Stillen has more or an aftermarker looks, GTM has more of a stock look. Need to decide soon after the body kit is installed.

209Z 07-09-2010 05:30 PM

gtm tt looks very nice =].

Jamaica 07-09-2010 07:41 PM

Top secret and hks has a twin turbo kit coming out. Also sts turbo called with some interesting news.

209Z 07-09-2010 07:46 PM

hks is taking forever. And I heard about top secret..but who knows how long thats going to take. The titanium strut bar for the engine wont be released till october..

Jamaica 07-11-2010 03:09 PM

I will stay tunned for sts twin turbo set up

Jamaica 07-19-2010 01:00 AM

Went to spocom today. Only a few 370z. They were all pretty much stock.

hks was a new tt setup.

The amuse kit: still working on a few custom pieces.
Also talking to rick at Venaci to get new wheels in step lip. This car is always a work on progess.

Jamaica 07-29-2010 06:08 PM

So my car is in the shop before I leave for two weeks for the army. Working on a custom exhaust setup for the amuse kit so my car can stand out.

Working on a custom exhaust for the rear bumper.

And just ordered new wheels and tires. New venacis in step lip. Sounds sexy.

phelan 07-29-2010 06:25 PM

nice bud, looking forward to seeing it all put back together again.

any reason why tt instead of supercharge?

Jamaica 07-29-2010 06:32 PM

well i wanted to supercharge the car. Two optinos stillen and GTM. Stillen doesnt have the stock look that I want. GTM cant answer the unknown question of the lth issue. I believe its gtm issue not the lths. HKS is coming out with a kit but not sure if they are going into production due to economy. I wanted a kit that pushed 400 to the wheel easy. The tt get 450+. I have turbo manifold for my tt build, just looking at bigger turbos. If it doesnt work out, I will continue to wait. The car is new still. There should be plenty of more FI application in the next year.

phelan 07-29-2010 06:37 PM

yeah, that's kind of why i'm biding my time on forced induction. sooner or later the car will have the power to match the ridiculous exterior lol.

good luck tho. when it's all done should get both our cars together for a photoshoot :tup:

Jamaica 07-29-2010 06:41 PM

red, blue 370z photoshoot. lol all were missing is baker tunning white one. Red white and blue haha.

What type of FI are you looking at>?

gromano 07-29-2010 07:48 PM

Love the lizzette!!! and love andrew too. just a lil ;)

Jamaica 07-29-2010 11:21 PM
