yummy plazmaman, what finish did you get on that plenum? im thinking the polished aluminum would look too flashy on my car, i might get the blacked out one

its a "raw" finish , yeah i have the same feeling about eh polished look it would just stand out to much in my bay ( especially with the colour im gonna paint my cam covers) im gonna keep it the way it is and might through some kind of decal on it, i dunno,

oh almost for got i had a build thread ,=/
so updates then? k awesome!

So today i found this waiting for me ...


What is it?


Oh snap its my new Painless Performance Remote Master Disconnect Kit (brought to you by Summit Racing ) !!! sweet !! (=^_^=)




did some "work"
I installed my new nismo thermostat , and painted up the housing , nice and slick .




Also painted my turbo elbow.



Well since i had the paint out i thought i might as well give the area where my seats used to be a nice coat make it look a bit better.




Oh so i originally put my car way cause the starter went , so i was looking for a new starter and no one on the boards had one at the time . So i decided to get a rebuild and when i took the stater into the stater shop they said they had a brand new one i could buy for 15 more then a rebuild, didnt even think about that one . So yeah u can get brand new starters for RB's here. One problem though as i was measuring everything out at home i noticed one thing that was different.. the tread pitch for mounting, FML.
I thought about it and decided to grind the crap out of these threads and just slide the bolt through the starter and have'em screw directly into the bell housing , worked out perfectly :



Also had the grind down the sides a bit to give the bolt head some area to spin. (and i did smooth it out more then shown)


and i wasn't thinking at first and did some of the dremeling on my strut tower


results;WINN]!


(PS. my engine bay has been transformed into a shelf.)

Good.

The paintjob on OEM brakes always look 10 times better when one takes the time to mask the NISSAN logo or sands it to raw aluminum.

Any disassembly pix?

[m_melen]

those wheels are great!
and that black 240 looks haaaamazing. manny want!

[Velders]

I like the look of the diamonds, you should go for it

[RABBIT]

ok so ive spent the past few days creeping it up in my garage not doing any real work but just kinda thinking about how i want my car to look when shes on the streets. not something ive ever really cared about but ive been reading alot of blogs and came to the conclusion that i want my car to look like a race car from the '70's . dont ask what that really means as of yet so bare with the stupidity. All i know so far is that i got some Goodyear Eagles for the track gonna be mounted on custom Diamond wheels , i want a new spoiler i like the stock gts style one so i might keep it if i cant find something similar thats lighter ( i kinda want an old nascar style wing , dunno if it would look good but i want one ) example:

OR
like the one from famous Tra Kyoto 6666 kit



but im still not 100% sold on this idea.
as well im gonna grab some canards to tie up the front end . im not a fan of body kits and side skits so i want it to have a mean stance and stand out a abit but still keep the stock body styling.

real update saturday night.

[m_melen]

[JNS Performance]
