Here is a vid I made last year, the camera is mounted right next to the licence plate. Sound is pretty decent. Wind is a big factor is keeping sound quality. The rear mount def cuts down on wind noise. Skip the first min on the vid to get to the action.

BTW thats my ridiculous driveway at the end. Just imagine what I go thru when it snows. Talk about snow removal

thanks!

that's a fun vid

Thank you, good sir. And that's the first time I've seen your engine bay. I like the red with the Nissan logo. Nice subtle touch.

I think their default offsets are +22, but I could be mistaken.

They're sitting on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, 19/35/245 up front, 19/40/275 in back.

Duct tape fixes everything.

I think some seventh sense told you not to because I busted your chops over the night.

That's funny right there!

I don't drink coffee that much, I just really like it to get me going in the morning.

I love my Keurig! We have one at work too!

so when you push the tire outwards the tire has more leverage to compress the suspension... this can result in the car sitting slightly lower than usual (probably unmeasureable to the eye).

Thanks for the information dood! I really appreciate it!

I decided to give my Z a light show. Previously, I had installed blackout panels in my garage windows. Now, I decided to let a little light in. For now, I've settled on green in the outermost windows. I did this to let just a little light in and to enhance my blacklight night experience. I know this is weird but, it makes me happy living in a green world.... Lol.

From the outside with all the various colors installed. You can't really tell a difference from all black panels:

Just green installed in the outer panes:

Plus, I figure the green panes will helped my nightime blacklight show. A green glow now comes in at night via street light and green florescent paint around the garage shows up. Add in my drag clock and various other neon signs while I watch TV and have a beer; It kind of reminds me of 70's and when I first started to get interested in cars. You know takes you back to a time....

Below are some of the other options I tried:

Red

Multicolored:

Grn, Blue, Smoked pairs:

Single Blue / Single Smoked Panels:

Just being artsy today I guess.

happytheman · 03-29-2012, 06:31 AM

Dude Mecinoid, you've got waaaay too much time on your hands!

I like the blue best tho.

I'm just sitting here on my patio, enjoying a great cup of Keurig-brewed coffee while checking the site and watching the sunrise before I get ready for work.

Have a great day Kenchan, Onzedge, Zman8, Mecinoid, Alchemy, Alcheng, GurneyEagle and everybody in my extended fambly!
