Pics on your PC might look pink but it's a dark red shade in person, all the current Nismos have it IIRC.

I just want to say I'm an idiot. I thought OP = Laura. So thought they went and got that custom pink trim, which I thought was impressively dedicated. I live in SoCal and have seen girls do up their cars like that. But ends up I'm just color blind lmao.

I've recently finished tuning with Sebastian. As with the G before Laura, a tune changes everything for the better!!! So much more fun now! I'll have to shoot some footage of the 2-step launch control.

Awesome. Sebastian is really good at what he does. I need to make another appt to go out there and have him retune my car. But I want to be really sure I'm done with modding so I don't waste more money tuning. Thinking of switching my K&N short ram to a long tube CAI.

As a 7AT I'm super jealous of the 2 step.

It's been a while! I've not done too much, but have added a few quality of life updates.

P2M Carbon Fiber Dampers

not sure why a Nismo would't have these by default...




Osram D2S 66240 7000k bulbs



Raceseng Shift ****

I've also done an E-Tune with Sebastian at EcuTek. No idea of the numbers, but being able to redline the first three gears helps and throttle response seems to have improved quite a bit. She now feels as fast as she looks, but Nissan should have done this from the factory. 2-step is fun, but useless on an N/A car. Flat-foot shifting is also fun, but again, kinda useless on an N/A car that's not building boost. The pops and gurgles when up/down shifting brings smiles!! The power feels less starved in the lower gears, and she really comes alive above 4-5k RPM's! With that being said, I've not really pushed the car to the limits, as she's my daily and I do very little highway driving. I'm hoping to correct that at some point. Until then, I'll keep making minor improvements.

Other mentionables:
Raceseng Tug Plate license holder - now not necessary that OH has recently changed laws with requiring a front plate
HR 25mm x4 spacers - the stock wheels were just too recessed for me. The fitment is now a very slight poke. No rubbing at all.
Diode Dynamics Internal LED's - these are awesome!

At some point, I will go the SC route, but other life responsibilities take priority over play.

How's it feel?

Also, I've moved this to the Build Forum. I know it's not a G, but whatever... you're a long time member, and we're all Nissan Heads anyway.
