Local company has no issues swapping the hatch glass. I had to overnight a damn window seal though and it won't be here until Thursday. I am dropping the oem hatch off tomorrow for the glass to be removed. then, I'll be driving the car over to them with the CF hatch installed. That way the window can be dropped in.

I mocked up the duckbill spoiler and the fitment is perfect. Just have to drill the holes for it. But, I have been debating doing an APR GTC 300. So I may hold off on it for a bit and not drill any permanent holes. Might just see if I can get away with 3m taping it on at NissanFest and removing it for the ride home lol.

Started my Nexus 7 tablet install last night. With the cubby lid removed and the tablet wrapped in a Bobj case, it fits almost 100 percent perfect. Takes up a lit of the extra gaps and space in the cubby. I am doing some research on Neo mags right now to hold it in place and make it easily removable.

Thank you. I really need to update with pictures, but for some reason, the site isn't allowing me to add any pics to albums :/

You have been tearing up the show scene! Well deserved buddy!

Thanks, Jason. Love the refresh on your car, just another clean job that is going to make the Varis Arising 2 kit much more popular and sought after.

Took a little time yesterday to pull apart my Accuair system. Got everything realigned and the new tank placed in. Just have to seal up some fittings and plug all the harnesses back into the ECU. It looks super slick with a powdercoated tank. I should have done this a year ago lol.

So I decided this past weekend to try and utilize some leftover 15mm Ichiba version 2 spacers. my Normal offset is a et 25 on a 20x10. this would make it a 20x10 et 10. I began with the driver's side and slowly aired the car down. it just clears most of the inner fender lip of the seibon fenders. Only slightly pushing the fender out a bit, near the front area where the fender, meets the front bumper.

Should be easily fixed with a dremel and some rotary blades.

Last night I trimmed the inner lip on the driver's fender. It was successful. I was ballsy and did this without removing the wheel (since my buddy had my torque wrench). Tonight I am going to remove the wheel and torque the spacer down within specs. I'll attack the fender a bit more to ensure there is no possibility of it catching on any portion of the fender. Then, I'll hit the passenger side and call it a day.

HIN is having Hot Import Days Seattle this weekend. So, a good majority of the week will be spent on final car prep for the show :)

I can't wait to see the results!

Riptide67 05-13-2015 11:56 AM

Fenders have been trimmed and I applied some clear last night to seal up the edges. I'll torque everything to spec tonight and take it on a little test drive to make sure everything is seated properly.

Spoke with Jon @ Z1 this week regarding the Tomei expreme Ti exhaust system. He let me know that there would be 6 full systems in on Friday. Today I manned up and ordered one lol.

Your build keeps getting better. You're going to be unstoppable!
