dmhenderson's Nismo '12 GTM supercharged build thread where I freak out a lot

[dmhenderson]

I'm supposed to be working on speaker notes for a presentation I put together and instead I've been having fun tracing the evolution of this car from when I picked it up 3 years ago. Pretty ridiculous considering where I started.

I only sorta regret half of it.

I'll still be doing the show thing this Spring and Summer so if you want to check the car out, I'll be around.

I definitely plan on coming to the Saturday morning meets when the weather breaks. Id really like to see your car in person at least one more time. Are you going to style and performance this year? Its in july this year i think instead of may like last year.

If you figure out root cause on why the SC fluid reservoir dumped, please let me know. That freaks me out.

Just tell Charles you want the same setup I have (he'll remember).

Yes, I will be at both the I&K nationals and P&S.

well if P&S is moved then you should be able to make it to zdayz

Not putting 1400 miles on the car for that

why not? zdayz is so much better than the ricer meet at Carlisle lol

one last hoorah in the Z before selling it I would have to say ZdayZ should be on it's bucket list.

[dmhenderson]

1400 miles is a lot? Maybe. I'll think about it.

i'm just saying while you still have the Z (although GT-R's are more than welcome at zdayz) you should attend once. it's amazing to see the amount of Z and G cars plus the people make it unlike no other show.

worst case you could trailer the Z

Yeah what he said....

I don't have a tow vehicle and renting one is prohibitively expensive (looked into it last year). Thing is, it's not going to win any awards. It's definitely weird (ethanol converted supercharger) but isn't the loudest and won't beat out the TTs for fastest - although I could give them a run for their money off the line assuming I don't crash

Also not dropped or stanced for the ~lowlife~ kiddies out there. Just doesn't fit into that sort of car show.

zdayz isn't a kiddie show where stanced garbage wins. that's Carlisle just there's not many 370s there since most kids there cant afford them. well maybe now that they are going dirt cheap lol

there's some nasty cars that show up. there's a massive car show that I think you would place in easily.

just Z's as far as the eye can see lol

[dmhenderson]

I will miss it but it has to end at some point. I really don't even get to drive it that often. The R35 is my dream car anyway and would be much less hassle.

Great thread , was very interesting and informative to read. Also , interesting reading about the want/need for more power leads to an almost regrettable feeling in the end. I'm in the 2nd month of my SC build, am happy with the power, have almost no issues other than the Turbosmart BOV sounds like crap. Going to order that Synapse valve today!!
I think I'd like to run a fan on my oil cooler, so, cooling is where I'd like to focus upgrades on.
Thanks for the good read sir!!
