Andre's Nissan S14: January 2010

Parts Coming Soon

I recently made some purchases this week, and I am anxiously waiting for them to show up. I just hope that the snow won't delay the delivery people. As on right now, I have purchased...
-XXR 006 Wheels
18 x 8.5 Front
18 x 9.5 Rear

-Splash Works Bell Steering Wheel Hub

-Nardi Deep Corn Steering Wheel

Window Motor Arrival

I got another window motor for my car today. If you read the 2nd post of this blog, or see in some random pictures, the driver side window has always been down. It did not work when I bought the car. It seems to be in good condition, but there is one problem. I bought a passenger motor. There is hope though. I have found a way to mount the motor to the track, and I also gave it some electricity and it moved in both directions. The moment of truth will come when I put it back in my car. It seems as long as I can make the motor clear all the items inside of the door then it will be okay. I'm hoping so...

-Sorry no pictures

Getting Rid of Coco is a No-no for NBC

*Off Topic but needed to be addressed*
As much as I enjoyed Jay Leno hosting the Tonight Show, my main reasoning for staying up was to see Conan on Late Night. I was very excited when I first found out that Conan would be taking over the Tonight Show. The man has work very hard for years, moved his band, most of his staff, and most importantly his family to LA for a year to now be told that he could be possibly pushed back to make room for Leno. Again, I do like Leno, but that's a real BS move for NBC to try and do. The whole situation is not fair to O'Brien, Leno, or Fallon. And could possible end up horrible for NBC and its viewers. So NBC, make a decision and make it quick, but as for me...

Light'em Up

Now that most (hopefully all) of my lighting is finished, I wanted to see how it looked. I forgot that the car had a trunk light, so that will come later.

-Park/Running Lights On

-Head Lights & Side Markers On

-Head Lights, Side Marker, & Signaling On

-Lights Out...Lights Out...

-Gauge Cluster

-Home made LED Dome Light Conversion

-Show how bright the light is. Please excuse the mess and lack of carpet. (Should be installed in a couple of weeks)

My Silvia Is Growing Up

I made this picture to take a look back and show the metamorphosis of my car. You may have to click it to get a good look at it...

D-Max Turn Signal Arrival/Installation

My D-Max turn signals arrived yesterday. It didn't take that long to get them up in the bumper, but I still have to hook the bulbs up to them. But this is how they look with the lights off.

Seibon Hood Arrival and Installation

I picked up my hood from Sage Auto last night. I decided to open it up this morning to see how it looked and to get it prepared to be installed. As expected the hood is very light, weighing about 20-22lbs. After some minor adjusting to the hood latch, everything fit perfectly.

Couldn't Sleep

I forgot that I had these and I should have added them to the exhaust install post. They are the authenticity/warranty certificates, I think. They are written in Japanese, but I've seen them before, so I'm pretty sure that's what they are.
