Haven't been too active on the org lately, so here's an update of the last month. Switched from 3pc to 5pc spacers, an amature ssim by yours truly, 4" intake, NX Proton kit (currently on a 75 shot), and some other minor support mods for nitrous. Also did a home brew bumper plug job today as well. THIS IS VERY PIC HEAVY, I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE. What's the saying around here? Worthless without pics?

 

Holly big pictures BATMAN!! Wanna shrink those down a tad. I can see the dust bunny's in your keyboard!

 

Lookin good jwatz, like the paint work you've done. I want to paint my center trim gloss black, as well as the engine cover.

Added buttons look good too, what do you have into the nitrous kit?

 

Im living that same feeling still lol. Dirving a 5.5 get 6mt feels like heaven compared to a 4th gen 4at

 

My resonator and muffler developed a sizable hole due to the insane northeast winters. Picked up a walker resonator and Quietflow SS muffler from advance. The old bolts were super rusted so I took it to a shop to cut them out. When I picked up the car I found the resonator was not installed, but instead the shopped welded in a glass pack because the pipe was still good. I was kinda pissed but the car feels great. Sound it essentially stock but somehow it just feels smoother, even under acceleration. Everything totaled to just $175. Quite happy now 😀

 

 

Added NWP BOP and cleaned MAF

 

I got bored and tried this at 2 am.... Now I have to USB ports in my car...... Just gotta fix it up to look perfect but I'm happy

 

Pics of my Nissan Family (minus the 5th gen)

 

Put the summer shoes on the grey 5.5

 

Over the weekend, replaced front sway bar bushings with ES units from Autozone. Significant improvement! Feels like I just installed an upgraded bar! Much flatter in corners! Should have done this cheap maintenance item a year ago.

 

Installed Racingline FSTB and changed out ignition key ring light bulb.

Nice. Details on this please? A write up perhaps?

Definitely something I would be interested in doing with mine.

 

Very Simple to do.

I ordered (2) 2 usb cigarette lighter plug ins. I ordered them from china because I was in no rush to do this $3 for two:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/221359009430...84.m1439.l2649

I burned one out hooking it up the wrong way . Exact reason why I ordered two lol.

I then took a part the ordered cigarette plug in and took the usb plugs(guts) out and turned it upside down on the blank spots from the arm rest to draw out correct measurements.

Made markings trying to center as best as I can ( mine are a little off center), I left the middle slit in the blank spots because it looks cleaner then just a big hole ( my opinion)

Once I drew out the two rectangles I used a dremel tool to make the holes and tried cleaning it up as best as I could with the tools I had.

Once holes were made I wet sanded and buffed it (that's why its shiny)

I then put electrical tape around the aluminum part of the usb plug in so glue wouldn't get into ports. I then plugged in two usb devices to hold it in place, turned it upside down and started putting jb weld all around it.

While waiting for glue to settle/semi dry (took about 20 mins) I took apart center console and tapped into the rear cigarette lighter wires for power. Make sure you put the wires through the hole before you tap them in I had to undo it like three times because I kept trying to rush it lol.

I popped the blank and usb back into the middle console and screwed it all back together.

Probably like an hour job if your taking your time. Took me a little longer because it was my first time taking the center console out and had to resolderer wires onto the second usb port.

Quick and painless

If you have any questions let me know and ill help you out. Glad you like it.

 

Decided to fix my snapped overdrive wires from when I tried attaching an anniversary edition shifter to my SE. **they do not work for the record. They use different 'shims' on top of the metal rod the shifter sits on. I was scared to cut mine off so I went to a junkyard and cut it off there... well the metal rods are different thicknesses.. so technically you could grind it til its thin enough to fit... but I didnt want to mess with such an important part on my own car so I just left the stock one on.
While I had the center console out I completed my led conversion by putting a blue led in the shift indicator

 

Very nicely done i like it ill be looking into doing this mod

 

Very clever. Any install pictures? Would love to see how you wired it underneath the console.

 

Sorry guys I didnt take any pix while doing this. Hopefully the photos before will help you guys out. There are only two wires in the center console which are for back seat cig plug, just tap into those. I used the blue clips which you insert one wire and then the end of the new one and it creates a connection.

 

Nice work. I'm gonna have to try this.

 

put on the 350z wheels with 235/40/18
gonna paint them in couple weeks

 

2003 Se 6MT

Succesfully installed the NWP manifold/ tb spacers, and NWP Block plate yesterday. Love the results. Throwing on the 18" g35 wheels and next is lowering it. So exited! !

 

Replaced my rear brake pads. They were original and lasted to 138k miles.

 

Washed 2 of my cars

 

Sold My Grey 5.5 Auto!

 

Replaced both axles, finally got it lowered on H&R's with KYB-GR2's, and replaced catback section with Megan Racing OE-RS. Shimmied the Megan under the cross-member so it doesn't hit.

Took all day but just went for a drive and it was a beautiful thing.

Pics if anyone interested
