Want to get back into a sleeper. Probably going to do an early 2000's Lexus GS300 and swap in a 2jz-gte.
I'll still be on the boards though

Thank for the tip.
I'm thinking about the honeycomb mesh or round holes, but don't want to invest to much money or time, going back to the 13/14 nismo front.
This one will be for sale soon.
the 15+ Nismo front don't cut it for me.

Then there's no point putting extra money in it.

I went to Metal Supermarket and got an offcut 1x3 sheet of stainless round holes for $7. Have enough left I've been contemplating making little cutouts for it in my rear diffuser between the tailpipes and fog light. Will see.

DeliriousClam 03-12-2017 11:36 AM

Just posted it up for $23k in the for sale section. Let's see how this goes.

i c... but mang, those yellow tops are meh from my experience. :ugh2: weak cca considering ure supposed to be able to use it as a deep cycle. dere are only 3 batteries dat died under my ownership prematurely and one of dem was da yellow top. the other 2 were defective batteries honda gave me on 2 brand new cars i bought.

id just get some decent group35 at my local auto parts store or walmart if mine ever went bad. which is probably never before i sell da Z cause im still on da original battery 8yrs in. my old G's battery was a 12 yrs old factory battery when i sold her and she started up fine even in cold (0F) weather. simple maintenance goes a long way.. quite literally.

ChaseZ 03-12-2017 11:46 AM

Optima went way downhill somewhere around 10 years ago when the company was sold to a bigger fish, who implemented their own manufacturing techniques and QC. They aren't at all what they used to be.

Weird ...never had a problem used in my Corvette and G37 for years no issues no maintenance. I did have problems with cheapo walmarts...but dude drop that old school fluid shiz ..or not.. hell, if it works for you keep checking that battery fluid..:icon17:

kenchan 03-12-2017 12:05 PM

optima going down hill..datz probably why.. honestly those batteries including red tops are a waste of money.

kenchan 03-12-2017 12:07 PM

Amazing what a little mesh in the right place can do for a car.

This isn't nearly done but coming together pretty well I think. Been contemplating this for quite a while now and your post gave me the tip off the fence I needed :tup:

This crossed my mind many times like a bad nightmare, resale value is dropping so low that it pains me to sell at that miserably low price.

kenchan 03-12-2017 06:52 PM

ChaseZ 03-12-2017 07:07 PM

Ken only speaks the truth and that deserves respect.

cooltoy 03-12-2017 10:20 PM

Had a spirited run with an EVO 10 yesterday in my current stock 7AT Z.

He also must have been stock because we were about even, although my nose was slightly poking ahead the whole time.

cooltoy 03-13-2017 07:48 PM

On a closed course, I hope.

barncobob 03-14-2017 06:51 AM

gorgeous here, 74...waxed the MB with Meguiars #26....Schweeet looking

mishuko 03-14-2017 09:10 AM

Constantly hitting refresh on my tracking. It isn't moving. Argh! Atleast I know it's being dispatched from Kyoto.

mishuko 03-14-2017 01:47 PM

Update: it updated and it's in toronto! Ah ma gawd I hope it's not damaged or anything:(

ChaseZ 03-14-2017 04:49 PM
