Hi, a quick question, on your HKS exhaust, did the emblem come extra with the exhaust or what?

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5358662_n.jpg

mr_sk 09-25-2011 07:12 PM

That emblem comes w/the exhaust, you can place it anywhere you want (IIRC).

OP, car is sick. Love the white rays, stance and everything. The pictures are sick too, great shots. In for updates!

Spec Jay 09-26-2011 11:05 PM

yep emblem came with the exhaust, didnt have anywhere else to put it lol

Thanks mr_sk

SuperZeto 01-26-2012 12:34 AM

Sick Z man!!! I just purchased the Auto-Shine kit just like yours.... Got my coils installed too so it looks pretty dope!!! - - Had to raise my car a little bit with the new spacers though.. What size wheels/tires you sporting? And I like that anime girl decal... Where can I purchase one?

Flushnismo 03-06-2012 09:26 PM

Where you at?! How's the car? :hello:

Spec Jay 04-08-2015 12:53 AM

Time to bring this thing back from the dead.

Big things happening in the next month! :thumbsup:

You're alive bro! Your Z is still one of the cleanest ones around! I remember your car was my inspiration back in the day. :tup:

Spec Jay 04-16-2015 12:15 PM

Haha yes, barely though. Thabk you its flattering to hear that I was able to inspire someone!

I've been working anywhere between 70-90 hour work weeks the past few months. So no time for much but enough money to get to the next level.

Initially I wanted to take the direction of a show car with occasional track days but now I'd like to go down the road of a street able track car. I'll still do a show here and there but I'll be following the form follows function rule.

That is currently what my parts storage(formerly living room) room looks like right now.

Spec Jay 05-02-2015 04:55 PM

So about two weeks ago I went ahead and installed my new to me BC Racing ER Coilovers with 14k and 12k swifts and custom valving. What a world of difference. If I ever have to buy another set of Coilovers I would be hard pressed to buy a set of entry level coils again.

I hate wiring! Lol! I'll update when she's on the road again.

Spec Jay 05-09-2015 01:58 PM

So if you didn't notice in the earlier pictures I finally pulled the trigger and went boost with the BP V2 kit.

98intrigue 05-13-2015 09:39 AM

Hell yes! Any numbers yet or are you still working on the install?

Spec Jay 05-13-2015 09:49 PM

No numbers yet, Been messing around with the gauges and little wiring crap. Found a small oil leak on the turbo feed so had to drop the turbo for that. Gotta wrap some of the wiring tonight in heat sleeve. Tune tomorrow when the new y pipe arrives.

Spec Jay 05-19-2015 03:21 PM

So went in for tuning last friday. Made of pretty well. Peak boost was 8.2PSI strictly wastegate. Tune was created to be as safe as possible with keeping in mind for a shakedown during autocross Sunday running rich and little timing.

370Ztune 05-19-2015 04:51 PM

Fantastic Pictures!!! Subscribed for more!!

Spec Jay 06-08-2015 07:47 PM

So if anyone follows eGarage or Valvoline they shot a feature/interview on Saber and I during autocross the Sunday after we finished tuning. Try not to lay into me too much ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PF-zbzi5-8

She performed flawlessly aside from a small oil leak on the oil cooler. Coolant temperatures did see a bit of a spike after certain runs oil temps were in the 235ish range but nothing outrageous. The last corner to the finish line was a WOT 2nd and 3rd gear and you only get about 1/8 mile to cool down before you're back in line again.

offnote. This is post 1337 for me lol.

shaun66 06-08-2015 09:41 PM

Looks like a lot of fun. Car looks awesome to :tup:

06-08-2015 10:11 PM

Good stuff!!

I see it yesterday dude!!! nice feature :tup: your car sounds awesome hahaha makes me want to install a turbo to my Z :bowrofl:

Boosted Performance 06-09-2015 09:18 AM

Very nice...and stealthy with the blacked out FMIC.

Car looks and sounds great.

YzGyz 06-09-2015 12:34 PM

I was hoping you were a girl since your avatar is a girl in cosplay.... You ruined it for me!! lol.. j/p... good build man, looks super fun!

YzGyz

Spec Jay 06-09-2015 04:52 PM

Thanks!

To be honest I would've rather had the FMIC stand out but I knew it'd be tracked so I had it coated with a Thermal Dispersant. In the video I actually was basically running my stock exhaust because my Tomei hadn't made it in yet. It was the stock midpipe hacked up with my HKS Hi-power mufflers.

I'll have sound clips of it with the Tomei up sometime in the next week or two. The BP kit sounds PHENOMINAL with the Tomei. almost no drone crusing on the highway, a deep burble at idle and a very exotic tone in throttle.

I'll be going in for a retune sometime this week too.

Haha, my avatar was a picture of a girl I took a few years ago at Anime Expo that I really liked..

370Ztune 06-09-2015 06:14 PM

Great Video!!

Thanks! I really enjoyed shooting it even though I'm not good in front of a camera

So, I drove her down to San Francisco for the Evolution2 car show by Blox. She had a few minor hiccups. One being Callifornia 91 piss gas and 105 ambient temps. Two being that pesky oil leak on top of the turbo rearing its head again on the return trip. :mad: Gotta figure a way to get it to seal properly, damn pipe threads.

About the show though. It's by far the best and most well put together show I've been to. I'll definitely be going back again for next years.

Some pictures from Hot Import Daze(Nights) Autocross event. It's the same event that we shot the video from. Took home 2nd place at the event. Not too shabby for the firs time taking her out with the kit.
