I bought it from Japan Auction Parts a few months ago. They had them in gold, silver and blue. Their site says they're out of stock now though.

I told myself I wasn't going to buy ANYTHING else until I installed all of the stuff I had, but then I saw this....

Obviously, I could not resist buying the Skyline trim for the J50 platform.

I love that cover!! Lol

The only thing I may be parting with at the moment is the Top Secret cf hood dampers. Really didn't want carbon fiber...I want the gold ones, but at the moment, production is limited to the V35 platform and I need the V36 Not sure what could be done, if anything, to alter them to fit my car.

So I bought the cf ones, but really don't want them. Lol

I can't explain how many times I've been in that same predicament where I'd buy a part then get it and realize that I don't want it lolol

That TS gas cap is so rare so I'm sure you love it! Your car truly is coming out amazingly! Keep up the great work Gayle!

Thanks. I'm just trying to take it slow. Don't want any costly do-overs because I rushed.

Thanks Bryan for the kind words. I truly believe in the motto "Dare to be Different" so that's exactly what I'm trying to do.

Multitasking at the moment, but as soon as we get in the new house, it'll be full speed ahead.

So....although nothing extravagant, I've managed to pick up a few things to make my life easier. Well, not really easier. I just bought this stuff because I wanted to!

Rear view mirror WITH a compass. The one on the Navi display is useless. And I miss the one I had in my M35.

A new, and fantastic looking, shift collar to go with my Impul MT shift ****.


Trying to decide if some Impul AT pedals will fit my car. I guess if they don't, I could try to "make them fit"....What's the worst that could happen!


Also, coming to realization that I don't want the Top Secret hood struts. SO....I'll probably be putting them up for sale soon.


In its place, another JDM rarity

Okay okay........I give. I bought the Tommykaira steering wheel airbag cover!!! I was going to wait until I sold the hood struts, but OH WELL


I'll be posting up the hood struts soon. Hate to see them go, but I really don't need them. Plus, I wanted the gold ones more than cf.

Dibs on the hood struts if the price is right! Perhaps save you the hassle of having to post a for sale thread. It can be tedious! Lolol

I'll shoot you a text message. Thought about getting them wrapped in gold, but it's not the same

Definitely not the same

That's like cleaning an old expensive rare coin. It'll lose its value. Keep it the way it is! Lol

Ended up running outside during work and swapping my rear view mirror for the one with the compass. Took all of 3 minutes!!
