I almost want to kick myself in the butt to have started this aero body kit back in January !!

I'm not working on this everyday but I should have !!! The cost has been quite expensive soo far ! But I also been learned a lot on how to make parts with CF & hybrid CF/Kevlar.

the right side has been completed and they are currently getting the final coat tonight, I expect a result of 8/10 for a hand laying process which will be alright for this first kit.

some part are getting a last layer of the Blue hybrid CF/Kevlar.

I had the worst luck for the pass couple weeks, having to restart the front left fender TWICE from scratch. and the rear quarter had to get surgery to remove a 12''x10'' section because it was too high.....

Left fender #3 being used to make the mold.... (About time !!!)

yeah I did a good clean up in the garage today and I'm glad I had a full face mask because I wouldn't have survived.

Some neighbors was looking at me with it on, they must have thought I was crazy !!!!

hoping to have the kit finish in the next 2-3 weeks top.
There is more to come in the future (end of 2014/2015) but the budget at this moment is not allowing it !!!

Big update ! but short .. hehe

The aero kit is soon to be finish :yum:


- I haven't took a picture of the left fender yet but its drying up into his mold as we speak and it will be ready tomorrow to continue the work that needs to be done and fitting it properly ...


- tonight I started laying down some Carbon Fiber on the left quarter panel.
Starting with 3 layers , a 12k plain 9oz sandwiched by 2x a 12k biaxial 12oz
A final layer of the Carbon Fiber / Blue Kevlar will be applied this weekend

I had some time at work during downtime to finally make 2 Throttle body adaptor on the lathe. This project was somewhat what was planned about 2 years ago before I blew the VVEL engine. but this time im going with an un-modified VHR intake manifold for some testing before doing anything more to it. But the inlet will be smoothed out for sure before testing it first.

- last, I finally installed the Cusco LSD into my spare diff with a 3.9 gear
a temp sensor bung for a pump setup as been threaded into the cover. it will be installed as soon as the aero kit is done !!! some SPL bushing also been installed ;)
its was my first time rebuilding a diff and shimming it ... a bit pain in the *** ;/

What did you set the lock % at? Dont suppose you can do a DIY on the diff install can you. Looking good Megan:tup:

The adapter is to clock another TB from another car? What size? What car?

wheee! 05-22-2014 07:15 AM

Great innovative work Megan! Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I knew you would ask .. hehe

they are replacement for the Maxima 09+ which is 75mm.
I made a reducer/adaptor because they don't share the same bolts pattern.
Hopefully I can have some dyno time in July/August depending on time and funds...

I set it at 80% with 6 springs running mainly on R-comp & Slick.
as for the DIY, I cant provide much more than what you can already found online and using the FSM... ;) its all in there for the proper torque and spec + how to shim and test the diff.
