That is a nice list. :tup:

dang, my weekend was busy too... laundry, vacuuming, more vacuuming, cooking, cleaning, more laundry... etc. :crying: :D

I thinks me going to paint my engine cover likez a Nismo.....? Si?

I think the red really dresses up the engine bay without being ricey.
See my D.I.Y cover in my journal.

hey, PWJDM's going to offer their new knobs with shift pattern engraved. :tup:

:tup: im def considering picking one up.

Took it to Costco to pick up some prints from their photo lab.
Parked next to a stock Monty Blue Sport. It looked like a Z "All Road" next to mine.

Lol, nuthin' wrong with an all stock Z! This is the first time in a long while I've owned a 100% stock car (going on 2 weeks now). I'm fighting off that mod bug as long as I can...

You keep telling yourself whatever you need to hear :rofl2:

Give in and start modding. Lol I fought to stay stock too but that only lasted a year. As soon as I bought my first mod it was all over. Now modding my Z is all I think about and I spend every last penny doing it. Wait, maybe you SHOULD hold off:roflpuke2: It really is an addiction. Well worth it though, my Z is far better than stock right now, I absolutely love it:tup:

I had my exhaust picked out before I even bought the car. Ordered that the day after I bought the car. Had it tinted within 3 days and two weeks later it had a rear fog light. After that, the rest is a blur.

yah, mine's a base sport and the first thing out was the pos stereo (out within a week's time)...wow that stock unit sucked. :icon17:

Went to tom to get my exhaust welded.

But mostly because my dad got his blow-off valves installed and CoBB accessport tuned.

BUT normally he was supposed to go to dyno and get tuned that way but while we were dismanteling the piping needed to place the blow-offs we discovered that the right turbo has started leaking oil. :shakes head:

So tom told us to go to our dealership and try to get new turbos under warranty BEFORE he installs the accessport.

Went to dealership. new turbos are on their way....somehow it went easier than thought.

Pictures of the oil.

According the the accessport the GT-R has about 530 HP now after the standard map.

Now my dad ordered HKS their race suction airintake kit :inoutroflpuke:

So next week those will get installed and then the car will get put on a dyno and completely custom tuned. delicious.

I knew that I would be doing springs, sway bars, intake and exhaust before I bought it. Turns out, I needed many more mods than those. :tup:

Changed my oil, bleed the clutch, check tire pressure, brake inspection, and washed car. I also removed the OEM plastic grill mesh on the front clip. Pics to come later this week.

I'm going to plasti-dip (or what ever you call it) the middle section soon and most likley put some sort of mesh insert in replacement of the OEM setup. So it was a good day.

I am happy that you seemed to have solved the trannny issue also.

Yea me too. Probably the first time I've had something that was easy fix for me.

hummm... wat to getz my Z and G stocking stuffer goodies... hummm...


vegitto- hey any snaps of your new exhaust? :) the GTR picts are cool.

What was it??

installed an oil cooler block off plate.

Which one did you use? Can I get pics/details? Thanks.

working on getting the pics up right now. I will post them in one of the DIY threads. I'll link to it when I am done.

Eh its the same FI exhaust I had in the beginning.

one of those things that hold the exhaust tip/last part snapped clean off.

Its fixed now but I looked at the rest of the braces(?). those things are welded like....really thin. like a little line.

Here is a link to a DIY thread where I posted my pics or you can check my albums.

oh i see. just a repair thing. glad to hear you got it fixed. :)

i lol'ed at mr.onzedge's new avatarization. :icon17:

Ha ha me too. Although Im in the dark about its context. Prob too young to get it....

It is the album cover for "Zoom" by Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band (with the Rootettes) -- 1979.

It is a classic.

:ugh2:

1979, good year :) I was born Dec 17th of 79. Bday coming up:tup:

I haven't read through all the posts yet, but why did you have a leak in your exhaust system? Was it the FI to Art connection that was leaking?

ART to header. Apparently the gaskets they supplied are garbage and they finally noticed that and they now supply red RTV instead of gaskets.

I had tons of fun driving at ~10mph tonight. It's amazing how entertaining an empty road can be when covered with a light layer of snow and ice and the stock Bridgestones. Once it was safely parked, it got covered with my car cover to help protect it from any new ice and snow falling tonight.

O RLY??

I think I just found my new shifter! Woohoo!

^^Snow in Texas?! I've never heard of this.

I know, this is a bit weird, but i guess it snows here occasionally. We are at close to 4k feet in elevation in El Paso. Got out of work early and come into work late tomorrow. Sometimes being in the military is nice :D

I glanced over at a coil of leftover vacuum hose, then at the Z, then back at the hose, then the Z again.

My gears started turning and before I knew it I was mutilating the stock airboxes.

That little plug in the top pic is for the airbox resonators that my 2010 doesn't have. I'll make a diy this weekend if anyone's interested.

I'm interested!
