Great mods so far!

 

Looks great, question: did the FD swap change speedometer accuracy?

 

nice start!

 

The emblem looks great. IP is such a nice color.

 

No, but there was weirdness involved. My VDC was acting up immediately after and wouldnt let me go above 80 km/h. It fixed itself somehow though, on my first real drive. I can go into more detail. Cruise still works too.

Ive been at it for 3 years! Learned from mistakes along the way though. There has been a lot of decisions I have had to undo, but I wont make the same mistakes on my next car.

Thanks! Got the idea from NFSP G35

Thank you!

 

Interior lighting:



I made a custom dome light that is red when the door is opened, and changes to white when the button is pressed. Everything works as normal (door switch can disable red LEDS, white will always come on when pushed)

Also have strip lights on both sides of front seats (to light up front + rear footwells) that is controlled by a switch. I also have red festoon bulbs in step light and rear door lights

Im also going to be installing a 24" red LED strip for the trunk lighting shortly

 

I love your body work man!

 

Now slam it! =p

 

I doubt I will ever slam it, a mild drop would be more than enough for me. Nismo suspension going on soon!

 

Nismo suspension and installed - now at 1 finger gap in rear, 2 in front

 

I took apart my Akebono calipers. I am getting them powdercoated candy red and will have them back at the end of next weekend, then they are going to get new seals etc put in

 

Nice grab on the brakes, they're going to look crazy in red.

Come a long way since we first spoke!

 

Thanks Blain, IIRC the first time we spoke was when I was asking you to cut out the clear turn signals for me, Id say the same to you!

 

It definitely was haha, good to see you're putting what you learned to use on some other guys cars. (saw you were offering the service for the Ottawa guys)
