Please explain... because there are MANY members still waiting on their Venaci's.

Your car looks like it's coming along very nicely though:tup:

Nice list of mods man. I have been looking at those PLX gauges for a few weeks too. I can't wait to see the results. Looks like its going to be an amazing car when all is said and done..there isnt a single mod there I wouldnt get. I would add sway bars and a front SPL camber kit though :)

definitionxmk 06-08-2011 11:20 AM

Thanks! Yeah, I'm working on getting a clutch as well as those above listed but I've invested a lot of money already so I'll take it easy for now. I still gotta pay to ship it to Hawaii @_@

How-To put on TE37 SL stickers
 
Just because I’m horrible with everything and anything dealing with stickers, putting on the sl stickers on expensive new volks was a huge challenge for me. So here is what I did and hopefully it will help anyone who is in the same position that I am.

First thing’s first…. get your new wheels. see mine isn’t opened yet!

http://www.project-definition.com/br...73-900x600.jpg

Let's open them!

http://www.project-definition.com/br...75-900x600.jpg

Looks ******* plain and boring

http://www.project-definition.com/br...77-900x600.jpg

Here’s what we’ll be sticking on

http://www.project-definition.com/br...78-900x600.jpg

Get your supplies. Scissors & some tape. The screw driver and 14mm is for the valve stem. We don’t need to worry about that.

http://www.project-definition.com/br...74-900x600.jpg

Cut the excess white portion of the sl sticker so it’s easier to work with.

http://www.project-definition.com/br...79-900x600.jpg

Place onto the wheel how you want it. Looks about right…

http://www.project-definition.com/br...81-900x600.jpg

Tape the narrow end onto the wheel like so:

http://www.project-definition.com/br...82-900x600.jpg

Line up the edge of the other end of the sticker with the half circle to the edge of the bore. Get as close as possible. If your tape end is too short or too long, just reposition it.

http://www.project-definition.com/br...84-900x600.jpg

Now flip the sticker tape end up

http://www.project-definition.com/br...85-900x600.jpg

Now cut approx a half inch off the slippery paper so that the transfer paper with the decal is visible. Like so…

http://www.project-definition.com/br...86-900x600.jpg

Now lay it down with the slippery paper on it and see if you need to make any more final adjustments.

http://www.project-definition.com/br...87-900x600.jpg

Once you feel confident. Lay it down. No turning back.

http://www.project-definition.com/br...88-900x600.jpg

Lay some card down. Are you a fan of anna’s?

http://www.project-definition.com/br...89-900x600.jpg

Peel the transfer paper off.

http://www.project-definition.com/br...92-900x600.jpg

So legit.

http://www.project-definition.com/br...07-900x600.jpg

CREDITS: http://www.project-definition.com/br...p=738#more-738 - My brother, Brian's blog. Thanks again!

Just in time for me to pickup the first GTM Stage 2 Supercharger 370z Coupe tomorrow =)

Again, BIG THANKS TO RAVSPEC (Mark) for the wheels!!!! I WILL NEVER GO TO ANOTHER VENDOR FOR MY WHEELS! :tup: :tup: :tup:

Cheers!

Carbon_z 08-03-2011 11:29 PM

nice bro... love the dyno video. Sick

Sounds awesome. :eekdance: I wish the economy would pick up so I can join the GTM Supercharger party. :p

Jamaica 08-04-2011 12:29 AM

Gonna look good!!

definitionxmk 08-06-2011 03:45 PM

Car is headed to shipping! I have to thank Sam @ GTM for putting up with my crap =P and my family and friends for watching her. I hear that the Stage 2 is a beast and everyone is amazed on how good it sounds. Sadly there won't be a full review of it until it gets to Hawaii at the end of the month =)

Here are some teaser shots w/ the SLs and MINES rear spoiler:

I'm sure once Andrew gets his hands on her...actually he'll have a video out before he drives it....lol

He's super nice with the camera/editing the whole nine...

definitionxmk 08-19-2011 12:02 PM

^thanks for the kind words and I will have videos up asap! So far, the convertible 370 and G37 haven't really done any videos on the supercharger itself. I'll try to get that done by tonight. In fact, I'll have a grip load of videos this weekend.

With all that said, I'm going to pickup my stage 2 supercharged 370z right now.

First weekend with the car and boy did I have to do some work on her… I learned about “Plastidip” on the forums and opted to try it out and black out some stuff on my car.

http://www.project-definition.com/an...8/rearprep.jpg
http://www.project-definition.com/an.../prepfront.jpg

^The front didn’t come out too good so I took it off >_<

http://www.project-definition.com/an...rearplasti.jpg

http://www.project-definition.com/an.../08/emblem.jpg

^They came out good! I’ll post some final plasticdip shots later this week as SPOCOM Hawaii rears around the corner…

Some more random shots:

Oh and be very careful jacking your car up. Make sure there are objects blocking your tires from moving as mine came out from under… luckily I wasn’t under the car!

http://www.project-definition.com/an...8/bentjack.jpg

^lost one of these bad boys… again, make sure to check all your safety angles!

98intrigue 08-22-2011 10:28 AM

The nicest yellow 370 in my opinion. Plus, boost is a big help :tup:

Flushnismo 08-22-2011 11:11 AM

Wow man I bet that was scary.:eek: Looks awesome with those skirts!! Get that lip on now! You're gonna be super low.. :tup:

definitionxmk 08-22-2011 06:52 PM

^thanks... lip is incoming. I had the CF one but it flew off. So i bought a hybrid FRP one that will be in tomorrow. A temporary fix for now...

Also, how did you jack up your car when the sideskirts are in the way? I cracked mine already but thank god it's underneath...

Towards the rear of the side skirt slide your jack under there then slowly start jacking up until your a little above the edge of the side skirt..then pull towards you and your jack will be on top of the sideskirt and right under the pinch welds. Like threading a needle kinda..

I'm sorry if that didn't make much sense lol..that's the best I can explain it. :tiphat:

After I got them on I realized the same thing you did. I should have trimmed them a little. :shakes head:

I use a jack pad that i've modified a bit but it has a slot for you pinch welds and sits in/on top of your floor jack, i also roll the car up on some 2in boards...Gives you about an extra 2-3in of clearance i put it on my jack before i start to raise the jack but after it is under the car.

definitionxmk 08-22-2011 07:24 PM

I know exactly what you mean... I had to pull the jack back to go "over" the material. I guess maybe my jack is not low enough and the jack arm itself is hitting the skirt. Oh well.

Jamaica 08-22-2011 07:34 PM

looks good!

Flushnismo 08-22-2011 08:12 PM

My jack had a really small surface so I bought one with a bigger contact patch. It's still sketchy but it works. Lol

Car looks sexy. Is it just me or do the side skirts look like a darker shade of yellow?

definitionxmk 08-28-2011 03:32 PM

Yeah the bottom part does look a bit darker... Also looking around the entire car, it appears the color is 'off' between the plastic parts and metal parts. A buddy of mine was explaining that the paint reflects a different shade in the metal because of how the chemistry is @_@

I'll redo the sides one day... Or i'll go Amuse :)

GTM Stage 2 Supercharger Kit Report:

So I've had the car for about 2 weeks now and just giving a quick update to those who are following the build.

1. I pushed the car on Saturday and opened her up next against a Single Turbo G35. Safe to say, that I pulled hard and fast away from the other car. Just wanted to make sure it was fast ;-)

2. Engine noise is pretty loud. You're going to have to turn up your music as the noise is overpowering at times. Something to consider but I don't mind hearing my engine, supercharger, and bypass valve =)

3. Speaking of music, this might be something totally non-related to the SC Kit, but I do experience my audio lowering in volume randomly. Mostly when I'm pushing the gas... Like it doesn't happen everytime, but it does happen enough to notice. Again, maybe totally unrelated.

4. Stock Traction Control. VDC ON. The car compensates and slows the car down when this is on. I have yet to drive it with VDC OFF and am afraid to until I have a wider/open lanes of travel. For this long weekend, I'll create some videos with my GoPro and Canon 60D

5. Fuel rate (MPG). I notice this car eats gas like a Samaon family at a buffet. I find myself looking at the mileage a lot as it drops rather quickly. Safe to say, it's not used to save gas =P

Closing comments:

Car runs great. SC whine is noticeable once it's completely warmed up. Bypass valve can be heard from far away when pounding it. And it's a head turner for sure...
