When is the boost happening? Make sure the clutch you get can handle the future mod ;)

Riptide67 02-05-2014 02:03 PM

Since I have purchased another DD, I would like for boost to begin shortly after this summer. So, I am hoping to start somewhere around September or October of this year :)

Gave my car a nice look over today and am really beginning to despise the last of the chrome/silver accessories on the exterior.

Although I am not a fan at all of the amount of Plasti dip that gets used, I figured for $6.00 it is an easy remedy for the Nissan hamburgers and Z side markers until my Amuse kit is finished. I'm gonna give it a whirl and see how I like it.

The next minor thing that needed addressed was the vents of my new hood. The mesh supplied is cheap and flimsy. I did some shopping around at Home Depot and found some nice aluminum mesh already painted gloss black. Got a good amount to leave room for error, so I'll cut up several pieces and figure out the best way to attach it to the hood vents.

Spent $9.00 to help achieve some minor cosmetics :)

My little plasti dip project was a success. It is the easiest aerosol paint. Product to use and if you over shoot your painting area, it is easily cleaned with a little Goo Gone. The replacement vents were a breeze as well! Just secured each with several pieces of 3m tape. Not a bad day of cheap mods!

Decided to switch my stereo system up a bit and went with the Kenwood DNX9900HD unit with their CMOS Back Up camera with integrated night vision and 190 degree field of view :)

Love all the new pics!

Riptide67 02-11-2014 11:52 AM

Thanks, Mr&Mrs! I am really having a fun time with the Z34 and the photographers do as well.

Let's add another part to the purchased list: Seibon Carbon Fiber 10mm Wider Fenders

Riptide67 02-18-2014 05:20 PM

Hopefully picking up my new DD on the March 1st, a 1993 240sx SE Hatchback...this will also double as a very long term future project car.

This will allow me to focus more on the larger modifications that require some major down time for the 370 and to help keep the mileage down on her.

Riptide67 02-19-2014 08:09 PM

Fenders and new stereo has arrived!

I'll have some pics up of the new goodies shortly :)
