rickya Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 The reason it has taken me so long to post these pics is because I cant stop driving it long enough to wash,polish,& wax it & take photos. Today I manged to wash it, polish it & didn’t have time for the Caranuba wax as I wanted to go for a blast in it! Also wanted to do a few small mods first & am still waiting for my Zed bonnet badge from Carbeyond in the US & rear camera from Hong Kong which I am planning to connect to the Jap LCD Screen very soon. I have so far: -Fitted Stubby ariel -Made cold air feed to standard airbox (pics below) -Refurbed gearknob with paint & clear laquer, as metal centre was corroding & leather a little tired. -Made missing towing eye cover with black plastic -Painted front indicator bulbs chrome -Fitted UK style front plate with no mount plate -Changed rear Fairlady & burger badge -Awaiting black Z badge for bonnet -Blanked Wheel centre badges -1 wheel to be refurbed next week...etcetc..!! Well after two & a half weeks of ownership I have done about 800 miles & I only drive 3 miles to & from work! So yes I have been driving it all the time with nowhere to go. E.g today Iv been out around Radlett, Watford, Bushey & up the A1 to a place called Sarret, don’t know how I got there or where the blemin hell it was! All I do know is the A1 out of London from Watford is one lovely road, hardly any cars, or junctions, or cameras, or police, nothing just lovely open roads. Even tested the Jap limiter while following a 997 CarreraS for a few miles, dam silly thing kept making my rev needle bounce about!! Well as you all already know its an amazing car, in many different situations, I especially am amazed at its handling at all speeds & low down grunt, it is just my sort of car, rear wheel drive, lsd, low down torque, & its got the looks! I could carry on writing forever, I have a habbit, but I’l let the pictures do the rest……. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 nice car mate! only thing I don't dig that much is the rear spoiler, kind of a weird one imo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks mate, Im not 100% about the wing either! Its an Impul wing, the owner in Japan fitted it, but I'l probably leave it unless it breaks or something then I wouldnt mind a nice Nismo!

Nick U Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I can relate to your fun. The exhaust looks good, Nissan really shoud have make the cans that big as standard, just looks so much nicer IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks all, yeah gearstick's nice as well!! I blanked the wheel centres by first filling in the Nissan engraving with any filler as long as it waterproof, then smoothed it over & painted over with touch up pen. (you can see it in the 9th pic down). The pics look a lot better in full size, if you have time have a look at: http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/2878810 (click on thumbnail & then double click on pic again for full size) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
