You guys rock, thanks for all the kind words. Will be working on the suspension some more on Sunday. Come out to HIN LA Aug 25th if you're free, plenty of g35driver cars will be on display.

lol, I've been considering new brakes but the difference is so minimal it wouldn't be worth it. Rotora can probably make the 12 piston 16" rotor kit work, but nothing changes in the back which is a 4 piston 14" rotor.

Winner power makes a 12 piston 15" front and 6 piston 15" rear but the hardware is kinda funky looking. http://www.winnerpower.com.tw/Englis..._infiniti.html

I have other areas to work on still, but even bigger brakes would be cool. Will post some pictures in the new few weeks, want top get some stuff redone.

I saw the FX application at Avalon racing before they went under. (pretty sure they went under). Here's the winnerpower contact page. http://www.winnerpower.com.tw/English/WP_Contact.html

I'm sure these could be brought into the US if needed.

Viet, my Rotora BBK is 15" front and back. If you could go with 16" front and 15" rear it would look great and go a long way in filling up those beautiful wheels. It made a huge difference on my Z. Congrats on the trophies.......very deserving!

Good info Ron, I'll make some contacts to Rotora and see if we can rig something up.

Thanks man, not everyone's taste and I have no problem with any bashings of the style. The amount of work done on it is the part I'm most proud of being a part of.

Still loving the look, simply perfect...The wifey wants one now after seeing it on here awhile back.....

We might trade in the G someday to get one, but i doubt it will ever look as clean...

If anyone bashes ur car, it has to be out of jealousy....I cannot see one thing wrong in a vehicle like this...

Thanks guys. Pulled out my second bumper from the garage today to have it recleared in blue pearl like my current one. Thought it made for a cool pic.

Big ups to Auto Explosion, how many one off cars out there have 2 bumpers just in case ? Muahahaha. In Socal we're lucky to have so many good shops to work with. Auto Explosion, M1, A&A, JT and a few others have been turning out some hot show cars for a while. Big ups to all of them, some new kustom shops may think they have what it takes but we'll see if they can walk the walk or if they are all talk.

Yeah I've had it the whole time. One of those things at the beginning of the build I asked for. It's cool knowing huge rock chip, or if something unforeseen happened I could still pretty ready to go. Well, not ready to go since this one didn't get blue pearled when we did the FX.

I see your site is up. http://gp-photography.com/

Populate that site.

haha, i just got the site up last night. I'll have it pretty much filled by the end of next week. I was in Vegas a few weeks ago doing a shoot for S3 magazine, so those pics will no doubt be up on there.
