Right on...life happens and it all good!!! I have nothing to report as I haven't seen my Z since ZDAYZ. It's been at summer camp at Specialty Z. Hopefully I will be getting her back in the next week or two.

Yeah sorry for the dead air.

Not a lot going on. Made new flat bottom and diffuser in my down time, but most of my effort lately has been on building a couple of lemons cars. Two z32s.

Looking around for hoods right now to keep temps down. How did you go about making your vents? took a dremel to town after maping it out?

Yep. Then a torch and sheet metal pliers, then tacked little endplates on each fin. That was the most tedious part by far.

I was debating making some molds and selling cf/frp versions of the vents. Think anyone be interested?

I think there would be much interest, I contacted a company in California that makes inserts for Corvettes, BMW and a few others. They said they will be making vents for us in the near future as they are getting a lot of inquiries. I love to keep my Fugi hood for show and modify my oem hood for go time at the track.

If you can make a mold, I have a good friend that is composites guy that builds Indy stuff. He can make high quality pre preg parts.... Just saying

Awesome build, I'm still catching up on it. Looking into eventually jumping into GTA myself.

Zdayz was an absolute blast as always. The FI family was rolling DEEP this year. Great seeing old faces again and new faces for the first time.
If you couldn't make it this year, hope to see you next time!

We had a few epic runs this year, especially in the wet. The GTRs and Dan's R8 tried to gap me but couldn't get away!

TerribleONE · 05-25-2016, 03:38 PM

Good stuff man!

No doubt. There were several but that one was the best of all three. I wish I could have found one with Mikes car in frame too

That would have been totally bad ***. Next year we need to strategize on some photo opportunities.
