[bpeckham]

Yeah it's way more flake than I thought as I hadnt seen Diamond Black in person before

Too much? I kinda like it

 

[MCN1SMO]

No it's fine I was just surprised. I like it too

dug up some of the previous Z pics compared to the new

since there were some comments about the garage I found some old pics of that too that shows evolution

this was the original just a DIY epoxy job

then in 2014 the Nissan surprise makeover where they flew a team in to install everything while I was still at the dealership

the racedeck is what made a night and day difference

Don't know how you manage to live like this. Sheesh.



Mad props. Stellar song choice. I can't tell you how many summer nights I spent with windows down and this blaring. First Nissan I blew this out of was my 04 Sentra SE-R Spec V.

This and my own summer

immediate future no but ive got 2 long term paths. first thing is I want to know more about the NISMO Z as far as price performance and just if I like the looks. that will play a big factor in any mods. If I do like it then will keep this bone stock and try to get one in a year.

If I decide to keep this one long term. I would like to do the NISMO CAI street exhaust wheels and brake pads. my friend at nissan who used to be head of product planning for the GTR and who I recently reconnected with is now head of NISMO USA and im interested in seeing what they do with the roll out of these new products in the next few months. I think there is some cosmetic parts that wernt shown at sema incoming

By the time the Nismo version rolls out we’ll all have done a trip to the moon.

aint that the truth not to mention not only it being announced but then repeating this whole supply line debacle.

Can you tell him to make the cool bumpers and other Frontier stuff they did for the Titan? If I didn't get boned on my taxes this year I would already have the Nismo catback for my P4X. haha

(I get the Titan is far less of an aftermarket value proposition than the Frontier, but a dude can ask anyway!)

I just hit 100 miles today so im getting there. Fairlady badge is coming tomorrow then supposed to get the new side skirt installed this week. getting tint and maybe some PPF clear bra next month.

going to try and document some autocross runs once the car is broken in. might do NISMO pads and sway bars first though as minimum prep
