But his list of mods is REALLY rare... He has the Endless BBK... I don't think I've seen another car modded like this. Done properly and made classy, not tacky

This.

Me: Hi. Nick you are the owner of Night import right?

Nick Schultz: No I am not. That would be William "Joon" Lee.

Me: oh! but you took the picture of my car! got more for me?

Nick Schultz: It was me taking the photos of your 370z. At the moment I don't. I'm currently working on a lot of projects simultaneously so that is why its taking me a while to finish the photos. Also for these photos.

The purpose was for the feature (ok feature?)... on Night-Import and we currently own the photos. I have not recieved any compensation for the photos.

So I would have to charge you for high resolution digital copies other than what you will be able to grab online from the feature. Obviously you haven't seen the rest of the photos yet. but once you have. let me know if you want any high resolution shots, I'm talking files you could make nice big wall posters out of and we can work something out.

Me: I was WTF??? i told him that there is no way to pay for pictures of my car lol...

Nick Schultz: I said that a little strange because I was tired. William doesn't compensate me because I shoot for the Night Import because we are friends. So I seek payment for the work I do for the blogs in other ways. But of course you can grab all the ones that we upload off the internet. If you want higher quality shots without all our logos let me know. Have a good day!

After that, i told him that it is ridiculous to pay to have pictures of my own car when no one asked me for my permission to take pictures of my car and specially to feature night import :nutswinger:

Can you imaging??

Don't sweat it, Nick Schultz's photos are crap anyway. You're not the first or the last person to have problems with him and Night Import :shakes head:, you haven't been around long enough to see but those that are from here know not to expect anything but talk and BS from them. It's between them and Bulletproof to work out, you shouldn't have to pay them anything for photos of YOUR car that they took WITHOUT your permission! If they don't want to share, no biggie, let them choke on them. :thumbsdown:

Finally turtie is home but with some issues...

- The LED back Fog Lamp isn't working
- A folded part of the driver seats is loose
- The airbag light is on because of the seats airbags
- The passanger side seat is like impossible to move forward or back.
- 1 clip of the trunk plastic is missing
- A little bad fitment on the right side of the rear bumper.
- Drivers side lock doesnīt work
- My windshield came broken :(...

But it is funny i could pic the car today 24th. My personal gift.

Killer Issue: The clearance i got from the vestito kit is TOOOOO much here it is like hellaflush here...lucky the coil overs will work if not (which i don't think) i will get biggers springs. Just need 1.8 inch more to be safe

small issues yes but disappointing considering the time and money invested into the build.

Mr&Mrs 12-24-2012 11:28 PM

This is very sad to see, the money spent on this build is huge. The people that took care of the car for you should feel very ashamed and be held accountable.

:iagree: was there any other damages to the turtle???

Cuban Z 12-24-2012 11:57 PM

WTF...seriously? I hope they'll arrange and pay for the fix. Coņo that sucks!!! But Merry Christmas my Peruvian Turtle lovin brotha!

omm370z 12-25-2012 12:30 AM

Yes and no. It is stupid because when we opened the container i found a battery over the hood that belongs to another car and im guessing that battery was left over the roof and with the up and downs of the sea the battery must flip over my windshield...just guessing because there is no logic explanation for this and because the guy said that the car was flawless...

Of course it is not $ 5 but there is nothing to worry about. The guy that sent the car already took care of this issue. The windshield is here already and i must pick it up on friday :)

For now the only thing i could think of is the bumper/skirts and the speed bumps...yuck...on wednesday i will start taking care of the issues fog lamp, seat+air bags, fitment, door lock, windshield.

I don't feel 100% happy but im gladthe turtie came home. :tiphat:

I thought i had another issue with the security indicator light but it is normal as the owners manual says. OFF/ ACC / ON the light blink but when the engine is on it doesn't.

You guys don't even know how i got stressed out because of the windshield and the clearance, etc.

If any wanna see the Z just call me through facetime and i will show it to you

We already opened presents but i know you guys are 1 hour behind ^.^

Update
 
little experience update:

I drove the Z until the shop on wednesday and it was amazing, every single one in the street were looking at me lol

I was nervous like never before but i felt like i knew the car already, same thing that happened to me with my old 350z. So friendly, so responsive, so fun! way more than the old Z that had a Supercharger

There is a hissing that i always hear when i press the gas and it is because of the HFC but it doesn't bother me at all even tho i like it.

When i pulled out the car from my garage i felt like i was encapsulated inside but after following the road it was very comfortable to drive and very smooth (middle position on sway bars).

Got very excited and i went from 2krpm to 8krpm forgetting about the enging break-in LOL

For now and on i need to get used to the cluch pedal again, because it is almost 1 year since i drove a stick, mostly Q7, CR-V and gran vittara and all auto around that time.

The only thing i got in mind when i was on the street was not to **** up when i was in 1st gear so the car won't shut off haha but again i felt that i knew the car and that it was so gently to be driven.

Donīt know if you guys felt this the 1st time you drove your Z stick/auto
