Removed the lower engine cover to take pics and video to post on my NST pulley install. When installing the NST kit, I suggest getting their Gates K070786 belt.
Video shows pulleys installed using the stock belt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De9_MWlruRg&feature=g-upl&context=G28bc6e0AUAAAAAAAAAA

Pretty day in Houston so I snapped a couple of pictures of the car while it was clean. Rain expected this week.

The first shot is of the car when it was about three weeks old. The other three were taken today showing the drop, spacers, Nismo bumper and rims. AJ at CarbonSignal is tempting me with a CF ducktail, and I think I'm going to pull the trigger.

Brantly - where in Florida do you live? I've got family in Orlando, Rocklidge, Eau Gallie, Melbourne Beach, and I practically grew up in Indialantic.

Was hoping to get my Z on the dyno and see what i'm putting down, but the dyno decided otherwise and quit working the car before me.

How do they sound with just those mods? and can you feel any difference in performance?

I like the flat look the best. IMO looking at pictures, the plasti dip looks a bit satin. From reading the DIY threads, I think I will mask, sand and paint with the flatest black I can find. Undecided on the rear, but fangs for sure!

Point taken on the tone of the black, but Plasti-Dip is probably the best thing to paint such a low, chip-prone area.

Just did a quick ONR wash on the Z, hopefully it won't rain but it looks like it might. I might take a drive through the canyons tomorrow depending on the weather today, can't wait to give my RE-11s a nice workout.
