SIMOTA1's journal....

simota1 · 02-13-2013, 07:43 AM

well... i have another update lol.... really good but at the same time i messed up.... i got enough balls to do a wire tuck on our z's.... long story short it worked out... and i hid the looms perfectly and deleted that ugly small fuse box in our bay... here is where my fatigue and stupidity kicked in... i was on the last harness, i was gonna run it reverse.... i needed more slack and saw that if i ran it under this one hose then itll give me enough length to swoop it in the back.... well i had a pretty long day and i knew and told myself i should rest already and continue tomoro.... instead i got impatient and decided to finish it without even checking the damn line my genuisness unbolted this thing and fuel started leaking out... i instantly freaked out and jammed it back in the hole.... tightened it and that was it... now when i start my z... its pissing gasoline through the seam like a mad man

damn it.....

the good news though? i installed my black couplers, t bolts with gold bolts, and finished the wire tuck

bad news? i cant use my z no more until i fix the problem i created for myself.... fyi i hate fuel leaks i have a phobia ever since the V8 i built when i was a teenager had a small fuel leak and caught on fire and nearly burned my house down

please help me if you know the solution
please help im leaking fuel =[

Im not sure I would change everything to gold. Maybe isolated under the hood will look ok, but nothing else in your theme is gold. Is it?

U are correct.... It really looks like i cant keep the hood struts... It marked my newly cleared password jdm cover looks definitely like ill be stuck with the donkey stick....

simota1 · 02-14-2013, 06:05 AM

top secret

intake brackets
oil cap
titan oil catch cans

have been ordered through daytona racing as of today

only thing left is fog lamp, rear tower bar and engine strut bar....

next year MAYBE and im holding my breath on this one top secret full titanium y pipe and exhaust and some work meisters.... i still might consider the amuse titan exhaust but.... since im going pretty hard with this top secret stuff i thought that i might as well go all the wayyyy with it you know? then for the love of god i hope i make it to a mag at least lol.... u know so people can see the hard work i sacrificed...

heres a little humor it really burned my balls when i pulled up and a couple said damn man thats the nismo version right? ummm no its a base.... "look hunny the base model is even nicer than the nismo version" facepalm bwahahahha

on a side note... tony from cfe is working on my map light and handles tunnels in red kevlar....

i still havent begun my box build

damn sometimes i wish i had more time to myself.... really hard to balance family, work and car hobby.....

Unique_Z · 02-14-2013, 06:45 AM

Ouuh that's nice! That's the exhaust i'm aiming originally, but i opted for Amuse cause i want it to be a custom one off

nice "Nismo" bro

Mr&Mrs · 02-14-2013, 06:45 AM

I know what you mean for wanting to go with a theme and stick with it. The only thing that should keep you from going with TS exhaust is if for some odd reason it sounded horrible. Which I doubt it does, so stick with all TS!

i honestly dont even know how it sounds?!?

i read somewhere it can be electronically adjusted by the controller which makes the sound different by adjusting the valve in the exhaust system... i just hope that doesnt break

i still want a amuse hood... the top secret hood looks good except the gtr scoops

Unique_Z · 02-14-2013, 09:16 AM

I've heard the Top Secret CBE on youtube, the vid of which Smoky Nagata tuned Baker Tuning's Amuse 370Z

it's sounds incredibly incredible! You should check that out mate

simota1 · 02-15-2013, 05:21 AM

i heard it man and it sounds like music

i found out why im leaking fuel... like others have said.... i probably tore the o ring in the fuel regulator... whats the verdict? i did.... i tore off a piece

so i bought a new one i felt so lucky because it was the last one on island

... installed with a buddy of mine and it still leaked... checked it again... i guess we got over confident when we shoved it back in.. cuz we tore the new one in half

now i gotta wait a week and a half.... which means ill miss the local cruise coming up which i put together lmao what a failure

Kingbaby · 02-15-2013, 11:18 AM

oh the joys of doing it yourself...
