Fellas, not going to make C&C tomorrow. Family is sick so I'm taking care of them.

bkngo 01-30-2015 06:56 PM

cool... rocking the stock look lol...

bkngo 01-31-2015 07:33 AM

I am not going to make it this morning guys... I just ordered my halo eyes from ijdmtoys.com and I will be painting my headlights next weekend and installing these bad boys. I've done a couple of halo eyes install on my previous vehicles and I watched the tutorial on the forum. It seemed pretty straight forward.

My plan for this car is a Stillen supercharger kit, (oil and tranny cooler) front/rear sway bars, CBE, front/rear slotted rotors, and clutch kit. I've read the many reviews about the supercharger kit not able to put out more power later on but I'm fine with that. my goal is an awesome DD vehicle.

Once all of the performance stuff is done, next some Volk's wheels.

From what I gathered from the forum is the sway bars, CBE, rotors are all good products.

This year will be the CBE, rotors, and sway bars. Next year clutch kit. Following SC kit (btw, the carb legal factor is important to me).

Another? lol. You know it was a 350/370 (can't remember which) that took out that metal pole in norfolk several weeks back that caused all those major delays in the morning. Crazy. Driver mod I tell you! The best one for the car!

Onelownismo 02-04-2015 08:02 PM

What's up guys!

Started tearing into my car today. Didn't realize it was such a bitch to change spark plugs lol. Next I'm going to tear into my exhaust and figure out what's wrong (leak or melted cats?). Then I'm going to get tuned!

When are you going to get tuned? I want to get my car up to par but my next few mod installs won't happen until beginning of May.

Voice59 02-05-2015 11:25 AM

Whatever you do don't bother with Hill's Garage. I'm still waiting on my car after 3 months. Sure there's been some issues with parts, but most of the stuff they didn't even find until having my car for 2 months. They're cool enough people but for "specialists" it seems like a lot of bs.

Voice59 02-05-2015 11:26 AM

Maybe once I get the car back I'll have something positive to say, but all it's been so far is a money pit. Almost to the point that I think they're just fabricating stuff that went wrong.

The kit was made as a kit. Not a lot to have go wrong. Not like you are running a variant. Lol. Sounds like the time I sued a guy after eight months of waiting for him to replace the motor in my VR4. Least to say is the fact that I have very little patience for ******** anymore.

Voice59 02-05-2015 09:45 PM

Problem with the kit is it's a pre "bankrupt" GTM kit so quality severely degraded. I'm going to be pursuing them for all the parts that were bad out of the box. Which is costing replacement parts and labor.

At this rate with GTM you aint getting ****.

Running4Mayor 02-06-2015 04:42 PM

Since I decided to keep my bitch I went ahead and ordered the FI exhaust carbon fiber w/12 resonators, gonna order gen 3 intakes around delivery time of exhaust then rims and maybe if funds are available upgrade the brakes. This gonna be a fun summer!

Edit: Going to get tuned right after exhaust and intake installs

Running4Mayor 02-06-2015 04:45 PM

Kai: Have you been up there yet?

SWEET! You wont' regret it!

by the way I'm going to get tuned at either Moore automotive or AAM competition. I'm planning on going within the next month hopefully (or however long it takes to get the test pipes I'm about to order).

There's a lot of mulling around, playing with maps on a computer, some runs on a dyno...over the course a few hours. Not missing **** if you head to the nearest Starbucks and wait. Lol

bkngo 02-08-2015 01:52 PM

Painted my headlights and installed halo eyes this weekend. I am probably going to purchase the FI CBE w/18" resonator or Stillen CBE in a few weeks. I am debating on the Stillen sway bars now or buying the Stillen CAI and selling the CAI later once I get the Stillen supercharger.

BTW, Nissan of Chesapeake, is the best Nissan dealership I've been to as far as customer service. I had a key cut and program (I bought a spare uncut FOB on ebay) for $99 compared to $129 at other dealerships. Also, they can order Stillen products and install it. $800 for the supercharger and CBE install is not a bad deal.

I think most Nissan dealerships have some type contract with those guys. The dealership I bought mine from (Pomoco) offer the same services. Oh and if you're thinking about Fast Intentions you should hop on it soon. I ordered mine last week and looking at a 1st week in May delivery. Plus you can put $300 down and pay on it until the week of delivery… That's what I'm doing at least. And wished I done it sooner. Which ever way you decide your CAI should be a quick sell on here.

There's no average. It is highly dependent on the shop, s/c, t/c or n/a, level of tune (are you going for 300whp or 900whp). It all plays a part in how long they spend on the tune. Typical packages are for four hours and will run you $500-800 easy. Some tuners can do it in half that time. Depends on their experience with your car and the software/flash program. For a solid s/c tune, $500 is a good starting bet.

Moore Automotive is $350 but you have to pay extra to get the uprev license. I'm assuming I'll pay around $600.

Meh. I don't like them anymore. I used to go there all the time and always went to the same girl. She was awesome and always hooked me up. She was the only reason I kept coming back. Then one time I called them up and she wasn't working there anymore. I went in anyways and they treated me like ****. Not going back anymore. I just go to Hall Nissan of Western Branch if I need anything now. I really hate going to dealers all together though, so I only go IF I REALLY NEED IT, and that's not very often.

bkngo 02-10-2015 07:34 PM

So I bought the Stillen G3 intakes. Hopefully it comes this weekend. looks like another weekend install... next is the exhaust.
