My first day, I roll over and leave plenty of space in the driveway to take the nismo out for a spin :driving:. What do I see? NO ******* NISMO. He must have left it elsewhere (smart man...)
Luckily, karma is a bitch. I got a txt today that his exhaust had been delivered, and he was still a few states away. As the household guardian for the time being, I told him not to worry, I would safely tend to his new exhaust.
So I roll over to casa de birdmanx1, and as expected:

Sounds like someone is wanting their Nismo's location released.

5/14/11 - At Frank's shop getting some engine dressing work done. HPS intake hoses are being worked on.

Engine dressing work 40% done; HPS intake hoses are a bit of a pain to treat, work still in progress.

what's up with the intake hoses?

Nothing wrong as far as the Intake hoses themselves are concerned Zed. It is just that the material used by the hoses requires more preparation in order to be treated and painted. The hoses looked great in PW after first layer was applied but Frank noted that the paint would easily crack after a little so he is looking into a way to get around the cracking by further treating the hoses.

Red__Zed 05-15-2011 08:13 AM
Ah, didn't catch you were painting them.

birdmanx1 05-15-2011 08:16 AM
Correct, trying to get some contrast in the engine bay :tup:

5/17/2011 - After some negotiations, I managed to get my exhaust back from rarwz; b1ades joined us during the install. Installation was performed by Frank at Hills Garage. The finish look & performance are outstanding.

Post up that photo of Frank when he was dealing with the demon bolt. Also make a video :tup:

Ty Weezy 05-18-2011 12:24 PM
Awesome looking nismo birdman! I must ask how is the FI exhaust doing with your drop? My cans sit really low and I am at stock nismo height. This is the only thing holding me back from getting a drop

birdmanx1 05-18-2011 01:55 PM
Here is that pic of Frank dealing with the demon bolt on rarwz's Z With the amount of force and weight he pulled had the bolt slipped he would have went rolling all over :icon18:
http://i1142.photobucket.com/albums/...1/IMG_4680.jpg

birdmanx1 05-18-2011 01:57 PM
Weezy, thanks for the kind words. With the drop and the exhaust, I stand somewhere around 3.5" clearance. Driving around after install, I didn't have any issue over bumps and I cleared my driveway without any hitch :tup:

That is exactly what I was doing, it was nerve wracking since one wrong move will bring the breaker bar down on the engine or the fender haha. Gotta love a shiny FI exhaust, it definitely fits into the nismo bumper much better than most in my opinion.

hdskull 05-20-2011 02:39 PM
Awesome looking car and progress!

Do you have an amp? and how much did the roof cost you?

birdmanx1 05-20-2011 05:33 PM
haha Christian, it is nerve wracking indeed, props to you for doing it yourself. Rarwz was in the background praying for nothing to break in the event of a fall :)

hdskull, thanks for the kind words, it is turning out well so far and I'm pretty satisfied. I have an alpine amp (MRP M500) Great quality and value. As far as the roof goes, plan somewhere between $700 - $1000 depending on how fancy you want to get (for instance having Z appear under sunlight reflection, other light tricks...)

b1adesofcha0s 05-20-2011 05:37 PM
If you look up blue batmobile here on the forum, he sells a precut vinyl overlay for the roof if you want a less expensive option.

No problem, just trying to help out.

always welcomed and appreciated broski. I'll ping you offline for ... Grace ;)

b1adesofcha0s 05-20-2011 05:48 PM
Oh man I just got a great idea for a video of your new exhaust! Start out with that pic I have of your car in my side mirror. Then you fly by me so I get the sound of you coming towards me and going away from me. What do you think?
