Yeah its pretty straight forward.

 

Great idea sad, I'll be watching the thread with interest

 

thanks for the fuel tip brett..

should be a pretty hefty update tonight, i'll grab some pictures before i start working and make a "part 2" later tonight.

 

ooh.. this is gonna be cool.good luck with the project SCmaxima

 

Day 3

First off, stupid UPS, I love them and hate them at the same time. Why is my signature on a piece of paper on my door any different than my signature in person, I mean seriously. Anyways, looks like the gauges will have to sit on the truck for another night and I will get them tomorrow.

Onto today:

Picked up the NGK Iridium, 1-Step Colder Plugs from Napa today for $8.29 a plug (Part #NGK6619 or LFR6AIX-11)







The next item at Napa was the Gates Serpentine Belt for $34.99 (Part #060935)







One of the items UPS decided to leave, which also needed a signature, but they left it...

JWT Oil Pan Spacer from Perfromance Nissan Parts (Part #03503-PANSP)





I am off to pick up my bumper lights from my friend and will post some pictures when I get back. I got a wonderful phone call today from CP Race saying that my kit will be overnighted to me for saturday delivery and I can go on as scheduled. I may get the car up on jack stands tonight and take the front bumper, wheels and fender liners off if I get motivated.

Anyone have a concise oil choice for SC'd cars? I have heard 5W-30 Full Synthetic, 10W-40 Synthetic Blend and so on. I just need to know which one to get, so I can get that and brake cleaner tomorrow.

 

thats great news, do you know if all of our kits arrived?

 

They are not, they will be done with assembly on friday and shipping to CP. Mine is being overnighted from Vortech (supposedly...). I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Day 3 Part II

Well the latter part of today isn't going to hot. I picked up my corner lights from my paint guy and apparently he had a hard time matching the touch up paint I gave him, and it was very apparent when I put the lights back on the car. So, back to him the lights will go for a second go at it. It also seems that my old roomate still has my jackstands so that makes it hard to start the process. I could still take all of the intake piping off, as well as the brackets and whatnot, but I am feeling lazy after working out and running.

Here are some pictures of the lights, I am sure this modification isn't for everyone, but I like trying new things:

 

i think they look pretty good but yeh that paint needs to be matched a little better.

 

I like the sidemarkers. Wayyy better than amber. The only thing is, your car just doesn't look right on stock wheels

 

yeh what happened to you black 20's??

 

He got tired of them

 

Yea my painter had a problem matching the paint as well but he got the job done. Jay the best thing to do is take that front tow hitch cover off and give it to him to match.

I ended up doing that and it worked out perfectly.

 

You are correct sir. There are already back in the possession of the painter. And I sold my wheels to "SickG35," as I have a new set coming sometime this month (fingers crossed).

Yeah, I hate the stock wheels, definitely sucks. The new wheels need to hurry up and get here!

Did you paint the sidemarkers as well? I'd love to see some pictures of them. Great idea on the tow-hitch cover, I will definitely grab that and give it to him, the touch up paint bottle wasn't the best.

now it's time for updates...

 

well where are the updates??

 

Day 3 Part III

Well, if you know me at all, you know that I don't sit well when I have things to do.. So after 2 hours of working in the garage, here is what I got accomplished:

First off, here are the ramps I made for my car, the ings lip scrapes on the way up but it gets the job done.. it's amazing that I have trouble fitting a low-profile 3" tall jack under my car.



And I bought this at Harbor Freight, a nice professional ratcheting torque wrench



Started to attack the intake piping, but got sidetracked on the grill



See you later intake ducts



Intake piping is going....



Going, gone!
