New guy named Knupsel!

[Knupsel]

Hey folks!
I just recently fulfilled my dream of finally buying a 300zx that is TT!
I have been researching and keep coming across this site so i figured: What the hell, might as well sign up.
About my car:
She is a beauty for a car thats 22 years old. The interior is in immaculate condition, not a single stain anywhere inside. And the outside is pretty much bone stock except some red tint on the fogs and side markers to match the cars color! Now the outside has 1 minor dent and 3 tiny hail dents, but other than that has no scratches, door dings or anything which is insane to find here in calgary.
She sits at just over 133k (km not miles!)
Now something about me i guess :P
I'm 19 years old (going 20 in 2 months and this is my first boosted car and i am hoping she will give me a decent run for the 5200 i paid! i work full time as a fiber optic technician. I enjoy modding my car to what I like, now what i like most people might find weird but thats just me LOL
Hers a pic of her the day i got her!

And here she sits next to my other ride (2006 Mazda 6):

And some pics of the Mazda for s*** and giggles:



I am looking forward to talking to you guys here!
This forum doesnt happen to have a mobile app of sorts does it?
Anyways, talk to ya later!

Nice collection you've got started there! Always a good idea to have a backup for a boosted car

[Knupsel]

Indeed!
I was gonna buy a 300 for my first car but then i thought that i WANTED a TT and just a Turbo car for a student is no good Lol
And thanks for the welcome!

[Knupsel]

So the car is sitting snuggly in the garage and is getting little aesthetic updates in the mail!
HIDs are now in the low beams (fog light ones still to come), And reverse and rear Turn signals have been converted to LED's!

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Where'd you get the HIDs from/what temperature?

[Knupsel]

Just ebay!
My bulbs are H3C bulbs cause mine is a JDM model, but H3 works for HID's.
So right now i'm running 35W H3 8000k HID's.
i am however getting H3C pretty soon too as the beam pattern and fitment of the H3s isnt as good as the stock H3Cs

[Knupsel]

Glad you guys like the rides!
If you guy want I can upload some more pics of the 6!
They'll be older though cause currently.we have 20cms of snow in Calgary!

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Thats about it for now, wont see many more pics until summer!

[PapaSmurf2k3]

What gun(s) do you have for paintball?

I'm old school with 2 impulses and a 2k2 cocker

[Knupsel]

We just all started paintballing last summer.
But I bought a used tippman gryphon which I love!

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Nice. Tippmann makes good stuff for beginners. The first semi-auto gun I got was a model 98 way back when it was new in 1998 hah.

[Knupsel]

yeah the gryphon defs packs a punch and is quite accurate for its design.
It's one of the one stay has the hopper smack in.the center and you really have to look.down the side of the gun to aim.
Yeah my buddies and I got a few nice hobbies we all enjoy together
We paintball in the summer, snowboard in the winter and work.on our cars all year!

[float_6969]

Welcome to NICO! I like the 6. I have a MSP, 03.5, laser blue for my daily.

[Knupsel]

Thanks for all the welcomes guys!
And I am now attempting my first real mod on the 300!
It was a mission to take apart the dash to get the gauge cluster and pods out but I managed!
Now it's time to do an LED swap!
Right pod is done and works!
Now that I figured out how to wire the resistors and stuff it should be done tmrw!
Pics up once I complete it!
The LEDs are white and look.wicked!

[float_6969]

I did that to the HVAC controls and window switch on the S14, it does look pretty awesome! I still need to do that gauge cluster.

[Knupsel]

I had to run out and grab a soldering iron.that works.cause my old one didn't work
The left pod is a b**** to do properly and the windshield washer symbols are tough but I think I.know how now
I'll post pics once I am.Done!
