My sponsor Billet Technology is the shiznit! Coil pack covers and then I didn't even realize the designers series black pistol grip shifter was in the box!

I really need to clean up the wiring with some wireloom and install some of my other polished stuff.







The pistol grip shifter is perfectly ergonomic and has a very nice solid weight to it. Beautiful piece!

It's been a while since there hasn't been anything major to report on. I was able to take some video for the gentleman that asked for a sound clip. It was taped with an iPhone 4 so the mic is whatever:

Quick clip of startup and a small blip to 4k:

Just a little show around the vehicle. Sounds like I need to tighten up the passenger hanger lol.

Sea of Japanese cars: 2 GTR's, 2 z33 (hardtop & convertible), 2003 NSX, and Lexus IS wagon



AMG paddle shifter mod coming next once TRS300 has the new circuit boards ready:

Since the amg paddles are going in, I decided to make a request to Tim aka TRS300 to make me a VTCM. After reading his posts and being familiar with his LED needle pointers, I knew that his product would be superior to the Tranzformer unit.



Thanks to Danny aka Funkycold for trimming my firewall cover to work with my new setup. If only someone could owl a clean "wire tuck" solution for our motors, our engines could be really clean!





While I visited Funkycold, I decided to replace my missing belly pan (underpanel) with his solid metal piece. This thing is SUPER thick.

So the Billet Technology Fusebox Cover has arrived!



Here it is in video to show more of the detail:

http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps2b762eca.mp4

Test fitment giving me a visual of what I want to do with it color wise. I'm at a crossroads because powdercoating it takes away from the detail of the etch. I didn't mind too much on the smaller items, but this is one of my favorite prices:

And for fun, I put this cassette tape case over the accuair switch box lol:

Bob aka "Diboblo" working his magic again. When it comes to electrical and lighting I always want Bob working on my car. Amazing work and always willing to add to this build. I truly couldn't have taken it this far without sponsors and the help from the community.

AMG shifter paddles and Tim's (TRS300) wireless kit

Knew I wouldnt be let down after I clicked on this thread when I saw "RickDogg" As the OP.

Loved what you did to your z33 when I had mine back in 04. Looks like you are still at it!

Edit: Im pretty sure you were on my350z.com at one point, correct? If not, disregard the above.

Small world! Yes, this is the same Rickdogg. I registered on here years ago when a gentleman in a Porsche lost his life during a HPDE event.

I still have the Z, but it's taken a huge backseat with kids and all. The Z community has changed a lot over the years. A lot of kids looking for fake wheels and ebay front lips lol.

I was really excited to install this piece! Crank This Performance strut bar! Love Cam's work.







I ended up removing the 3G Kustomz Firewall cover and the factory brace. I really look forward to having some steering response back.

Small world indeed!

Cant really blame the kids though, I have seen Z's in my area go for as low as 6k. There are older civics that are selling for that price lol, but I know what you mean.

Also, not really surprised that you have not sold your Z. If I had gone as far as you with mine, I would have kept her too

Love the eye you have for uniqueness, as I can relate. If I am honest though, I am not really a fan of the wheels on the 300, but can respect your taste.

Thanks for sharing!

All good man. The wheels are a love or hate thing for sure. I just liked them because it was so different at the time and the first 22" step lip with a vip twist to them lol.
