Got the car back today. They fixed my front bumper fitment for free along with the paint job. No more road rash/scratches & they detailed the car inside and out because the guy who owns the body shop loves Z cars. Looks and feels pretty damn good.
Had a nice drive home then went out to dinner at a crappy dive bar where I saw a sad looking '09 GT-R that looked like it hadn't had a bath in ages coupled with scintered/caked on brake dust. Got two separate waves/thumbs up from 1) a guy in the grocery store parking lot who stopped while crossing in front of me to look at the car and another from a kid who dragged his obviously annoyed mom over to the car to look at it when I was stopped to get gas. |

Also, if anyone has any ideas where I might pick up nismo RC front brake ducts, I'm all ears. 3 separate leads, all 3 fell through which is disappointing to say the least. How hard can these be to replicate anyway?!? |
Finally installed my LED park lights they look sick but damn they are a pain in the *** to get to. Also put in LED License plate bulbs.
|
Pro-tip for those LED plate bulbs I discovered last weekend:
If you have issues with them losing contact and going out due to vibration - try removing them and bending the "prongs" at the base of the bulb outward a little so that they make better contact with the socket. |
Daedalus V2 dual halos going in next weekend. Kinda excited.

Track day Monday. Brakes serviced, suspension check, oil clean, tires checked, and of course more weight removed. About 15lbs.
|
Washed mine and waxed her till she glowed, then drove her around. She got new locking nuts that actually fit and look like they belong on the wheel.
|
Found out my clear bra has been breached right in the middle of the bumper. :( It's stopped (and shows some battlewounds) quite a few, but this one made it through.

Well it was an eventful 2 days for my car.
On Friday I plasti-dipped the wheels to see how I would like the black wheels on it which has since turned into a bit of trouble. Today I installed an new head-unit. It's a Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS. http://imageshack.us/a/img818/3274/wheelsu.jpg Wheels turned out alright, once I get tired of the plasti dip I will probably just sand them down and actually spray them with black enamel. Trouble is when putting the wheels back on, I was spinning the security lug on the back drivers side wheel and the head of the security bolt sheared off. I wasn't torquing it down, I was simply spinning it on with a socket and it sheared. I looked at where it sheared of and there is literally corrosion where it sheared already. http://imageshack.us/a/img571/4246/lug2u.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img820/877/lug1.jpg Hopefully the dealership will fix as there's no way it should have sheared like that. Unfortunately the head unit install went better but not flawlessly. I got the XM cable hidden pretty well all the way to the front, works well. However I could not get my bypass for the parking break to work nor have I been able to get the pac swi-ps to program. I got it set for mode 3 but it will not receive inputs. I assume 2 things are possibly going on, 1 its not properly grounded(I tried grounding to the bolt under shift boot) and/or I didn't get a perfect grip on the resist for the pac swi-ps. Iphone, XM and FM work well though, I hid the iphone cable in the cubby hole above the head unit. http://imageshack.us/a/img829/7153/headunitu.jpg |
