also, who says our cars can't fit anything? 2 duffles, camera backpack, regular backpack, and outlet shopping all stuffed in for the drive back from Vegas. Added another backpack and some bags of food to this last night when driving back to my apt form my mom's house. Forgot to take a pic though.

Here is a pic of my Bridjit ramps. I am lowered on Swift springs and I still need to enter and exit my driveway at an angle, but I do not scrape.

Thanks Mr, onzedge my driveway is very flat but the rolled curb hasn't been that problematic until I put the Shine auto front lip which has only 2.75in of clearance,I may have to raise it up some.

happytheman 01-02-2012 03:30 PM

Hey Baer, how low is your new front lip compared to how low the OEM chin spoiler thingy is (you know, the thingy you painted white)? Did you leave the chin spoiler on, or does it need to be removed? I tend to use it as a scrape gauge if you will.

I replaced the chin spoiler with a new one but the front lip bottom and the chin spoiler bottom are the same height.

I just has to cancel my order for the driveway curbthings, I sent them a picture of my driveway and they said it won't work so back to square one.

LunaZ 01-02-2012 04:45 PM

Wasted about $40 worth of tyres because I forgot that it was so cold out.

happytheman 01-02-2012 05:11 PM

I wonder why it wouldn't work Baer? :(

He said there wasn't enough roll, mine has a 2in drop off.

I imagine you are talking about my driveway right.

Yup, talking about the driveway my friend. :)

That sucks...although not sure that I entirely understand. :(

Today I topped 'er off w/ 18.09 gallons and Kenchaned her to the mall.

Baer - after my drop on Tanabe springs and the new Nismo nose, I'm scraping really bad entering/exiting my drive. Part of the problem is related to some damage to the edge of the street when the developer poured the driveway.

I live in a four unit townhouse, and found out at Christmas that two of the other owners are scraping their cars (SL and IS350). Everyone else drives SUVs.

Anyway, one of the neighbors is a contractor and came up with the idea of having an iron driveway grate built. We're basically building a shallow bridge to span the drop between the street and driveway.

We don't have a price yet, but my neigbor swears it will be less than $500 in total. He's getting quotes from fabricators that build entrance gates. We laid out the design this afternoon.

Might be worth checking into. Good luck.

happytheman 01-02-2012 07:34 PM

Ooh, good idea Gurney!

First day back home or with Internet Since 12/22/11. I sent 7 days in Puerto Vallarta, and then spent 3 days including NYE in Vegas. The stay in Vegas was pretty much free as a really good budy of mine lives on the Strip in City Center. I took the Z out to grab lunch and also a second time to run some errands. I installed the Simota fuel guage overlay and decided that I did not like the look overall so I took it off. Then to top off my Z day I purchased a 40th car cover since my used 40th did not come with one.:icon17:

Edit: New top off to my Z day...bought a set of 40th floor mats since mine came with normal ones rather than the 40th mats. I will keep using the normal Z mats as I like them better but wanted a set of 4th's to have in case of sale or perhaps put in on occassion.

happytheman 01-03-2012 06:45 AM

Man Srenity, you're all over the ice...buying stuff, and then not using it! Thats Baller status right there folks! :)

kenchan 01-03-2012 10:26 AM

Baer- since you paint cars for a living (you like my idol. :icon17:) do you want to paint some J-Next front fender trim for your car? :D hahaha, i bought a set a few months ago but decided not to use them since i am abandoning my plan to run more aggressive wheels up front. Weds is offering 19x9.5 ET24 and at stock height i would need these.

while i test fitted and pulled-off, one of the trim's clear cracked. :icon14: they used some pretty brittle paint cauce when i paint these things at home i use flex agent and does not crack.

let me know. :p (i paid a chunk of change i think $350 shipped, but will let go for cheap... other than the crack it's in new condition never used).

it's the little trim on the front fender. it's currently painted brilliant silver.

she's a systems engineer/programmer. :) before we had kids it was not unusual for me to drive down to get her donuts and coffee at 2am to check up on her since she'd be the only one in the large buildings at her client's place. :ugh2: she does a lot of the stuff remotely now from home.

man i remember those days i had so much time to play with my cars. :D hahaha.

btw, nice picts you posted! :tup:

yah, kinda like how construction work is done in japan. afterhours and minimize downtime for the users. :D

i wish they do the same here in the US... here it's like these contruction folks are doing us a favor fixing the roads. it will be done when it's done, so just wait. we will start when we want despite the electronic signs that show a date... that's just for reference-only. now slow down! :ugh2: :icon17:

SPOHN 01-03-2012 01:36 PM

Drove my Z to work today. Yep. It loves cold air just not cold pavement.

Thanks for the offer but actually I'm done with my car:ugh2:
As far as painting I do bodywork for a living and dabble in painting,my Brother (who is a painter)painted everything first and when we went back to redo the rocker covers he mixed up the pearl and I shot it and he mixed up the clear and I shot that too.
He thought the color was good and I wanted it darker so he let me do it so if I fvck it up I can't bitch.:bowrofl:
