Unless you had a previous owner that covered the dash there was no blue factory option to choose. More than likely yours is just faded.

 

Looked through your build thread and it looks the same to me. I ordered about every black sample they offer and compared it to the dash. Samples are cheap cheap

 

Ok cool thanks! I just googled G35 black interior and they are all the same color as mine. It's still actually more of a dark blue to me though. I guess its close enough that Nissan just calls it black lol

 

Nice!

Not Nice!

 

Brake pedal went to the floor as I was arriving at work. Had to get a tow home. Found a ruptured brake line.

My personal lesson from this is to just replace brake lines if you don't secure calipers correctly and they drop, tugging on the lines. Better safe than stranded. Leak is where the SS line connects to the banjo fitting.

New lines arrived, guess I got a project as soon as I get back from vacation.

 

It's sound advice and I'm VERY guilty of just doing a visual inspection when it happens. Guess I should stop tempting fate.

 

Struck gold and picked a hotchkis sway set, mishi catch can, a lower door seal, and a pocketful of hard to source clips from the boneyard. Condolences to previous owner, thank you for your offering.
Ordered clutch, fly, pivot, bearings, silicone master hose kit from z1.
Picked up some ramen because the wallet is suddenly a bit light. Lol.

 

SS lines have that issue. If you look in the warning sheet sent with those, they are only good for 4-5 years or so too. OE are best for longevity. Sorry to hear!

I finally did shocks. Was a little bit overdue lol.

 

I bought a set of stainless brake lines from StopTech - only the rear at this point and haven't installed them. Every time I read that these are less reliable than the plain, old factory-style lines, I contemplate getting rid of them and not installing them.

 

To most the performance benefit outweighs longevity. Plus you probably won't own the car that long.

 

In that case, these lines were at least 6-7 years old.

 

Installed the Z1 inlet tubes, the factory rubber tubes on my 08 were tearing and getting brittle. Next I will tackle the heater hoses as I got them too.

 

Most recent. Camo wrapped

Full bolt on tuned on E85

 

Why is your hood not mounted properly?

 

It is lol. Its spaced in the rear. Help clears the 75mm tb and 4in intake. Also helps with lower engine bay temp (which I tested before/after and it is functional)
