Pressure washed the Z to get rid of minor dirt and dust, and cleaned the interior :tup:

Stillen G3
 

...took a total of 4.5hrs but it's done!

stillen g3 intake...

The end result is a very positive one & I must admit that I'm very proud of myself right now :rofl2:

Throttle seems more responsive and the :icon23: dyno approves! It also seems to have made my car louder by some measure :tup:

After I took this pic I noticed one side seemed to stick out more than the other so I pushed the other one in to make it more even

*Next up is Pioneer NEX4100 & Uprev tune! :tup:

Congrats my friend! Good to hear youre liking it! :tup:

Btw, saw the pioneer HU and it looks amazing :tiphat:

Good job.

nice work, but why did it take you so long? few beer breaks in between?

It takes an hour just to take off/on my front bumper (amuse ftw)

And i had a new refrigerator delivered while i was working on it so maybe it took longer than it should have :)

Plus i didnt have the correct rotary tool so i struggled to make the hole large enough to fit the intake pipe

gave my Z a nice wash also yesterday and then went to work today getting that stupid hatch weight out of the hatch so it actually opens the way it should, definite improvement without it in there. Also, poured a pint of seafoam into the gas tank and did the whole seafoam through the brake booster vacuum line to give the engine a good cleaning seeing as she has over 130,000 on the clock now. initial butt dyno tests say that she seems to have liked it as i was chirping the tires when i threw her into second gear and also seemed to have cleared up a little hesitation that she was having when starting her up :D....3 maintenance related things left on the checklist now that i have to change out....accessory belt, clutch, and coolant....none of which were done by the previous owner :shakes head:

Had one last hurrah down 1431 to a secret road. If I end up with the AWD Juke, I'll be out there a bit more.

Walked by her a few times today.the day was really cloudy so i didnt take her out, used my gf's car. Irony of it all, it never rained:ugh2:

Performed first oil change at 1,153 miles. It did take a while to figure out how to jack up the front end. I know I saw somewhere in the manual where to jack up the car other than the side locations but after searching through the manual multiple times I never could find it. I ended up driving the front wheels onto some 2 x 12 and 1 x 6 to raise the front end enough in order to fit the floor jack under the car. I ended up using the aluminum cross member behind the engine for a lift point.

Installed a larger than OE Bosch oil filter that happens to be used on my '99 Eclipse and the GTR. Win, win with one filter for both cars. Started investigating other brands of filters at some autoparts stores and found that the Bosch inlet holes are smaller than the OE filter. Same amount of holes but smaller. The outlet holes in the filter don't have as many as I would like to see either. The Mobil 1 and K&N filters looked very good. May switch up on the next change.

OE oil was still fairly clean looking in color.

Went for a nice drive while trying to avoid some drizzle. Not so lucky on the drizzle part. It's funny how some days are just ordinary and others people are breaking their necks to get a glimpse of the car. Today was a neck snapping day. Had one young guy taking pictures of my cars ***. Went to the gas station and had a guy loving on my car. Talked to him for a bit. While leaving the gas station a young hottie was snapping pics of the car as I was driving out. Some days it's like I am driving a GTR.

A couple of days ago I had a service guy at the house and while I was walking him through the garage he caught a glimpse of the Z and said "I like that Skyline." To which I replied "it's not a Skyline." He quickly corrected himself by saying "Oh GTR". I smiled and said "nope, not that either, just a Nismo Z".

Found 2 other things that need replacing on the Z....brakes and battery

Removed my OEM exhaust last night. She will be left on jackstands for the next couple of days. Until I come home with a new-to-me Fast Intentions exhaust :excited:

:tup:

Looks like there are many nice roads off 1431. Hope you had a great time.
