so.....i kinda painted myself yellow today......oops
 

so i got my grubby little paws on the mazdatrix body pieces (originally the pacific kit)for my seven for an amazing price. anyhow this is how they looked when i got them (well the rear and sides anyhow)

so after much and i mean MUCH sanding i got all the silver paint off.

and it was time for primer. so of course all day today there was absolutely no wind at all. i was outside all morning washing claying and waxing the sentra (more to follow on this) and not a god damn bit of wind. so i head down to the shop. still no wind when i get there. i pour the appropriate amount of primer in the mixing container still no wind. i add the appropriate amount of reducer still no wind. then i pour in the activator and BAM its windy as hell. no choice now but to spray anyhow.

so after a whole bunch of primer going all over me this was the result

front:

so tomorrow i will wash clay and wax the 7 and then i will go do the final sand on the front and sides and the initial sand on the rear and hopefully there will be no wind so i can respray the rear.

how does it feel to be yellow?

I figured jo0 got into a peeing fight with Chris. I are le dissapointed.

And my neck hurts from viewing the pics. Why can't people take pictures correctly?

I am left yearning for more.

Manlaw, woman.

normally i do. however the damn shop is so packed full of crap i couldnt get enough room to take a proper pic.

and unfortunately chris lives 3k miles away from me so sadly no.....

BAM
lol

nice work

clean now doesnt matter anymore lol

i cant exactly take a pic of myself well and plus im clean now so to late.

thanks

Oh, I see. What color is it being painted?
Oh, that's right, he's in J-Ville FL. D'oh!

they shall be flat black.

edit: i cant believe i used the word shall

:dunno:

i thought it was sexy.

lol sexy?

....:scratch:


only half.

Some guy at a tire shop was selling a Sentra SE-R just like that one except for black a few weeks ago. The guy didn't know anything about cars and was selling it for $1,500. It had a slipping clutch and he didn't feel like repairing it.

How much are those cars worth?


Where are the pics of your yellow hands/shirt or pants?

lol mine is an se-r spec v so depending if it was an se-r or a spec v would change the price. also are you sure it wasnt a base model? or a salvage title? even still probably around 9k depending on year and condition and trim level.

also mine is hard to price due to everything done to it. the turbo kit alone goes for over $5k

half?
now im lost

spec v is underneath the SE-R emblem isn't? It might have been. I kept thinking "isn't it V-spec?"

I didn't check out the car entirely, but the emblems did look authentic. He said it had a six cylinder.

Pics? :D

pics of?

and no its a 4cyl it has the qr25de motor in it (probably the worst nissan motor to date)

the fastest way to figure it out is to check out the transmission. the spec v only came in a 6 speed manual.

there is a base model rolling around my town with spec v badges on it. little dumbshit tried to race me one day. he apparently caught me in a mood cuz i destroyed him. not only did i have substantially more power than a base model stock but i was already turbo at tis point and yeah he had no chance

So am I.

your the one that said it not me

I doubt the guy still has it for sale, but I thought that deal was too good to be true. Some shop kid got his number.

oh i already showered and the shirt i was wearing was already yellow.

yeah im guessing the car was a base model with spec badging in it.

either way the car na was fun but boosted omg its awesome. the only thing wrong with it is its wrong wheel drive and the motor sucks. but ill be fixing that issue soon enough. but the car always puts a smile on my face.

damn joo and jo0r wummun brains!

wtf?

Is there a six cylinder?

nope. the altima and maxima have the vq35de option but the sentra (which is what the spec v is) only has a 4 cyl option. there are two motors available in the b15 (my body style sentra) chassis the qg18de and the qr25de the base models have the 1.8 and the se-r and the se-r spec v both had a variation of the 2.5. the spec v motor had 10 more ponies and 10 more ft-lbs than the se-r did

boredom. sorry.

What do you think about the new Altima coupes Nissan girl? I think the rear looks awesome, but the front reminds me too much of the old Altima.

apparently. but damn im still confused

if there was a rear drive option i would love it however it only comes as a wrong wheel drive so eh......i got my grandma into a 05 altima with the vq35de in it when her fox body was totalled by a hit and run and i can honestly say its fun to drive.

i like the styling of the new alti but it needs a rear wing. it just looks wonky without one.

now the new gt-r *droooooooooooooooooooooooooooool* cant wait to see what that vr38dett does.

i tend to do that alot around these here parts.

pics of your 7?

Shouldnt this be in the Interior / Exterior / Audio forum?

It looks nice, but i completely agree.
I like it without a wing

I think it's awesome, but is looks like crap in my honest opinion. Again, it is awesome.

around these here parts, lol

yeah idk the alti looks like shit imo like that . needs a wing the ass is just not right.

and are you insane the gt-r is fucking sex on wheels. it seriously doesnt have a single bad angle.

if that car is a quarter as cool as its slated to be omg........*aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* drool. i really cant wait to get my hands on one.

first thing to do is get rid of those damn IHI's that are cast into the manifolds. ugh.

let me guess you prefer the look of the r33 to the r34?

My friend has a spec v, few months ago i showed him your spec v, he wanted to marry you, then steal your car.

He's on his second bottom end, because he forgot a little thing called checking oil and ran dry.

He's got jim wolf cams in it now.

He raced my brother (tc) when they had the same mods, my brother destroyed him.

Then he raced my brother again with his cams, and my brothers super charger, my brother won again, the spec v feels really quick, but the kid cant drive.

Wow! Very nice FB!

FD seats in FB?


h4xz!!one

What wing do you suggest? It's hard to pick one out that slows with that body.
I think it's ugly, but looks are subjective.

I prefer the R34. Looks bulky, but it's nicer than that sylvia...I mean R33.

Hell, I think the ZR-1 looks way better than the new skyline and I'm not a Crovette fan.

yeah i got a new bottom end compliments of nissan at 85k miles. woohoo extended warranty. stupid throttle plate screws and oil consumption issues. but w/e new motor. then about ...... a month later i went turbo....eh 30k + miles boosted and stll going strong. super faint rod knock but thats where the plot for a new motor comes into play.

funny thing i know the owner of wolf and i have no wolf part. go figure. all those things to come with the new motor

thanks

and yes FD seats in an FB

interesting most people that prefered the 34 like the new gt-r. idk i love the new gt-r i would sell my soul for one.

the only thing i can figure without playing with the car would be a super low set short gt style wing that or something similar to that of the FD

jen your fb is so damned clean.

Upgrade the interior to full black(if you can?). It would look 10x better. The black and brown/tan/gold whatever color that is combination is a eye sore.

It's clean though. Even cleaner than....:gasp:....marcello's FB.

yeah thats next. im buying dash and interior pieces as i find them in good shape in black. im going to redo the doors in black suede. and im going to buy black carpet. just need to figure out what to do with the dash and the roof liner.

also note that the outside of the car is going to be gold/flat black. all that stuff im primering right now will be flat black and the car is staying gold for the time being. well till im motivated to dot he work for/paint another whole car.

from the factory that car was gold with tan leather interior. so aside from the fd seats the interior is stock.

How about your body? ill rob a bank if need be.

thanks

sorry no. only for my b/f
