If i had the cash i'll buy the hood man. Not much were made if i'm not mistaken, go get it! :tup:

bro it just hit me now... NOW i know why he put those gtr vents... because if he didnt then his hood would not be able to be told apart from the TS reps made by seibon :icon17: it makes sense now lol i think its a hood that has to grow on me..... kinda like the varis one... my biggest problem both me and my friend dont know how the heck to get it to guam

One of the reasons were also to extract heat :) function and form. This looks tons better than the Varis'. Do the guy we're talking bout have this in stock? Or can he get a hold of this beauty?

Wow... That first picture is awesome! Looks aggressive but functional.

That hood is super hot. Maybe get the CS hood inserts and the GTR vents like you did to your hood back in the day and have something unique and a bit cheaper.

Negative... He can get it though ;) probably a 2-3month wait... One thing i have learned with top secret... They have horrible customer support and slow as hell i cant believe they still havent finished my mounts and titan oil cans

Well that's better than nothing ;) go for it buddy :tup: at the mean time please stop modding :bowrofl: lol jk buddy, have a nice day :tiphat:

:bowrofl: i needa get my TS strut bar for the engine bay first then ill think about the hood before the exhaust... those are my goals for this year though :)

That hood is sexy

The hole business is screwed up. If it's not in stock, move on.

my shoot is tomoro :) im so excited.... i took out one more bracket on the motor ..... and took back all my red password jdm bolts and put my gold bolts back.... :) looks nicer.... i still wish my TS cans were in :(

the PS reservoir is :tup: no problems whatsoever lets keep our fingers crossed it stays that way.... i would say im pretty happy with my engine bay now... all im missing that i needa order is the TS strut bar and maybe a gold titanium bolt strut bar bolt kit from dress up bolts.... :)

i still have to make the damn cap for my PS reservoir but work and making money for my shop comes first before i can play around.... ill be reinstalling my old aluminum coolant reservoir tank i made almost 4 years ago :) ill take some pics tomoro

and finally i had this done.... it has always bothered me but finally... plus they fixed the crooked top secret stripe ;) god i love that shop...

Should of painted the tail light covers red! :p

ha!!!! psshhh y? just kidding

i wanted too but i wanted to keep that stock feel you know? ;)

Looks great Jon.

There is no wrong way to do it as long as if you choose one of the options. I was going to get my rear bumper painted black at the top to match the factory, that is until I saw Mr&Mrs's idea. Now the tail light covers are getting painted. lol

Both options look great. Keep up the good work :tup:

i definitely agree with you bro :D i was just teasing ^^^ mrmrs... ;) i hope you didnt take it the wrong way bro :o

i wanna show u guys my tank... it looks pretty ok.... no more plastics :tup:

No, no... I know you're teasing. I was just saying I like both. Truth is I was going to do it your way (but with paint) and my wife liked Mr.Mrs's way when I showed her the pictures. I gave her this one ;) :bowrofl:

I wanted to make sure you knew I was joking with my post, it looks good both ways. The only reason I went with color was because the black still breaks above the tail lights.

I cant wait to see all of your custom parts!

off course dude.... i knew you were joking :)

idk... im not feeling the top secret side stripes

sorry you feel that way.... maybe some better pics :D

so i got an update... weather was dumb today so they pushed back my shoot till next week :shakes head:

and i decided to help out a fellow vq brother for the show... we swapped tires cuz his tires were to wide... :tup: not a problem for us though... 285/35/r19 my rear took it like a champ and 245/35/r19 up front... now here is the problem... i didnt do my research before i did the swap... i just went with o hey they look really good still... and have alot of meat left lets do it!!!! :( i need new tires the bf goodrich g force kda are loud as hell guys.... it sounds like my z is driving in a damn tunnel at 35 miles per hour and sounds like damn jet the faster i go... :( and after reading all the reviews its freaking normal... faqing great.... and i thought i dodged the bullet for getting new tires.... :facepalm:

any of you guys have any feedback of yokohama advan neova tires?

Mr. Simota, with all due respect if your car was a woman, I'd get her pregnant so she never left me. LOL

Jon I must say it sucks your stuck on Guam and won't be able to ever ship ur ride to the states to show it off.

:iagree: I'd love to meet Jon, we priced tickets to go out but it was like 2k per person one way.

One way is perfect! Who wants to come back. Just save enough to ship your z over to and then just stay an enjoy the island life :tup:

yah.... but like i said before im not building this z for shows or whatever im building it simply because i love it so much and for self satisfaction :tup: hell dude im not even gonna compete during the car show... im just there to represent with our fellow vq brothers.... and plus sharing my build through this forum is good enough for me...

thanks man i like to meet you guys too man :) ive meet a couple of people through this forum ;) and its been a pleasure meeting each and everyone of them.....

;) so ill see you soon mike :bowrofl:

btw guy those bf goodrich kda sound like offroad tires but man they hug the road :) i asked a fellow 350z owner if he had the same problem i was like dude... what do your tires sound like? he imitated the sound and i started laughing i was like bro.... thats how mine sounds, he said yah man they sound like super swamper offroad tires...

other than having a sexy thread pattern they have awesome grip.... i can get use to the sound at least for a while ;) back to aesthetics... i will replace my tires most likely the same time i TRY to get my work meisters next year :)

Just got word my amusr titan bar is waiting for me ;) at my house!!!!! :happydance:

:driving:

alright fellas.... i got home and you guys know how excited i get with new parts... i didnt waste any time i immediately tore down my z for the installation of the titan bar :tup:.... it was pretty easy the only hard part was that i couldnt fit that well between the back of the chair and the front of the stock strut bar.... but after 5 hours the titan bar was in ;)... i took my time because i didnt wanna risk scratching the bar.... here are some pics....

o and btw... i told you guys i would move the sun and the moon for that cap ^^^^ my buddy found a top secret cap at a up garage in japan... i told my friend and he got it for me ;) freaking sweet... now all i needa get is the titanium strut bar from TS and for my TS titan cans to arrive...... :happydance: between amuse and TS.... amuse hands down.... has better craftsmanship.... that titan bar is pure sex when i was unwrapping it

Super hot, me=jealous...repped

right back at you bro ;)

damn that's hot!

Does it use all the stock mounting points/hardware? What's the point of the part, exactly?

(Not trying to flame, genuinely confused as to what the bar is trying to accomplish other than look freakin awesome)

Damn Simota, that thing is pure sex. It looks amazaballs.


Sent from my iPizzle using magic and new-fangled science stuff

beast! enough said.

Did you gold plate the cap yourself?....... :stirthepot:






so jelly!

yes it mounts in the factory points.... the difference is the stock bar is just an aluminum with foam inside..... the amuse titan bar has a chromoly tube inside the titanium which you can attach a racing harness to.... :tup: its pretty damn heavy actually lol

thanks fellas!!!! :D

:roflpuke2:

What material is the cap made of?
