It was OK. I don't think I am as resilient as I used to be. Down to Irvine and back on the same day = more than 16 hours and I am wiped out.

When I saw this poor thing this morning, I had a similar reaction as I saw the 2013 GenCoupe --- almost puke. Why... oh Why in God sake the owner would do this to our beloved GT-R????

They are a whole bunch/family of genius, they dance, chat, run, bash and open hand-lock garbage bin, plus, they choose to open the one only with food inside.

That thing looks beat the hell up!

alcheng 02-22-2012 11:47 AM

I know style and color is up to personal preference, but this one.... :shakes head: I feel sorry for the GT-R..... :shakes head:

Plus, it's dirty, we have a sunny warm day in Toronto today, feel like spring, +7c and sun, why the hell the owner wouldn't give it a wash??? Even a drive through or coin wash is fine....

The headlight cover, is much darker in real, like black.....

:shakes head: :icon14: :barf: :facepalm:

TheGreatOne 02-22-2012 11:49 AM

Ya that thing isn't pretty...been dry around here too, I'd be running to the touchless car wash at the very least..

mr.alcheng- is that cosmoline on the black metal bracket forward of the radiator? if so, you can use some RC car motor spray/WD40 to wipe off. white stuff looks ikky. :icon17:

kenchan 02-22-2012 04:00 PM

mr.alcheng- were you able to install without removing the towerbar? :)

Face 02-22-2012 04:45 PM

Had my factory hose clamps not been properly positioned, I probably would have had to remove my tower bar. But they weren't so I didn't.

I'm also curious if alcheng had the same experience.

At first I was also curious on what the heck is that white stuff.... "so Japanese like to put icing in the engine bay to help cooling now.... ??"

Then I notice the white stuffs maybe is for anti-rust, cos I see most of the metal parts have a layer of it on. So I don't really bother to wipe them.

Hey Face, the install was fairly easy, but there are some tips here and there I would like to share with the forum members.

I will most likely write a DIY later or tmr, but I can say for sure skinny hand with long fingers (like mine, lol) does make things MUCH EASIER!!! :tup:

I didn't need to remove the towerbar, but if your hands are bigger or fatter, yes, have to remove the towerbar, otherwise you won't be able to remove the rubber hose that hide underneath the main hose&towerbar.

Are you talking about those small hoses? They are pain in the butt, and have to trim the length further more than what the instruction say.

Overall, the installation is not difficult, removal of the OEM airbox was a bit tricky especially on the driver's side.

Remove the towerbar will make the life a tad easier, again, depends on the size of your hand.

I found putting the screw that mount the metal hose onto the shield is a quite tricky, almost no space to put your tools to hold onto the screw.

I wish K&N will print the instruction in color with bigger pictures. LOL

I was actually rushing to install the K&N.... that's why forgot leave my number.... LoL

kenchan 02-22-2012 07:02 PM

Lol, mr.alcheng. :D btw, the cosmoline is for transport rust protection and should've been removed by the dealer before delivery. :)

BeachZTT 02-22-2012 07:42 PM

Called an old friend that owns a z shop today. He invited me on a cruiZe they have scheduled for Sunday. Wife is flying to Dallas Sunday morning so I think that will be a great way to spend the day!!! :ughdance:
