Project: MAYHEM FairLadySX is about to commence (lots of text and ugly pics)

[fayceoff]

Update in Dale's thread. zer...ge=12 My KA is out and I've asked him to take the car for paint while the motor's pulled so the bay will be sprayed too.

[180sxfaktory]

I'll be getting the paint code off the chassis plate, and hopefully, Nissan will have it on hand here.

I just had a thought... This car is indeed the very first in the series. The orginal prototype never wore the badge as was never considered a Mayhem, so you can see from my point of view, this is indeed some history in the making. yeah yeah yeah... it's not like I have a string of distributors, but it's nice to think that way. You know that I am going to ask you to be the North American source, right?

[Zee]

So does that mean that we will talk to AJ if we want the kit? Or does that mean that he is the North American Example of the project?

[fayceoff]

^ Good questions... Either way, I'm in.

[Zee]

When your car comes back I am going to have to take a trip up there and see it in person.

[180sxfaktory]

One thing at a time, but it only makes natural sense. Let's get there first.

Sounds good, but the way it's looking, it probably won't be back until after Thanksgiving. Dale is here in the Tidewater area of VA right now and the more I talk to him, the more excited I get about getting my car back. I was excited before, but the more the vision is spoken aloud between Dale and I, the more real it becomes to me...

[Zee]

Thats cool since I can't even make the trip until December because of school and work.

[Zee]

BUMP

I had a question how much did the Half-Cut cost you?

[fayceoff]

I think it was around $2400. I paid in Bahraini Dinar...

[Zee]

You think you get me the hookup on that?

[fayceoff]

You'd have to talk to Dale (180sxfaktory). I did everything through him when I was over there. I'm not sure it would be that cheap for you once you got done shipping it over here from Malaysia or wherever it came from.

[Zee]

ok thanks

[fayceoff]

uhmm.... no problem. sorry i couldn't be more help on that.

[180sxfaktory]

I can arrange something, but I would rather do that when I return to Bahrain. Is that ok?

[Zee]

Of course that is all right. Thanks for all the help you can provide.

Just to give you a preview, tonight the prototype will be out at the drift circuit. It's a sad looking POS now (not from my doing), but you will see what Mayhem will be capable of doing. Stay tuned for the video post. For REAL this time.

[rekzoer]

nice project

[-RJ-]

lol did you get that stereo at wal mart?

[fayceoff]

As a matter of fact, yes. On sale for like a hundred bucks. I'll probably replace it later, but for now, it does the job.

His right turbo blew, and I don't think you'd like to see a video of a 240SX trying to muscle a move and belching black smoke mixed with white smoke. It was ugly. I told him before to replace them, but as usual... he didn't listen. Anyway, off to work I go in the sun on your wiring.

You know how James Brown used to sing "It's a Man's World"? Well, the 300ZX Z32 was that Man's car. Definitely not for the timid or the short-attention span from the technician's/engineer's point of view. When I said that the car was designed around the engine. It didn't stop there, for the cockpit layout was definitely designed around the driver. Everything from climate control, lighting and other things you would find throughout the dashboard in "normal" cars is centered around the gauge cluster and the bezel with control boxes located conveniently in the same proximity as the ECU. This car was well ahead of its time when it was designed in the 1980's and I can se why it costed as much as it did back in the day. This is an F-15 Eagle through and through. Anyway, I am home and working with the gauge cluster and will post up on the pics of what the fukk I've been up to with it and the other stuff tonite.

Sorry to hear about what's happened. I'm going to leave this open, though. So you can give some updates later on.
