Looks awesome Hafid!  Z-Tune stuff definitely makes it look nice and aggressive.

My Opa was born in Den Haag and my Oma was from Breda.  I do like the Netherlands once you get used to fog and mushy ground!

Look forward to seeing your car come together!

@Kinkstaah The bodykit is coming along very nicely! The guy working on it definitely determines the end result, so I am very happy I brought it to a professional. He got the gaps and fitment just right. The front gap is being fiberglassed before going of to the filler booth to get everything smooth and even nicer!

Also managed to get my hands on a nice set of a Brembo brake kit from a 350Z! So the GTST brakes will be taken off again.

I had the CD009 box fitted, but noticed a grind while going into 3rd gear. Hoped it would wear off as the box was sitting on the shelf for a few years. But I also managed to source another CD009 gearbox so I am thinking of exchanging the box again while I get the first CD checked over.

Anyone advise on how to properly diagnose a gearbox? Clutch kit (PMC motorsport kit) feels very heavy to, so might getting everything inspected!

She came back from the bodyshop, very happy with the results! She's on JR12 wheels, powdercoated in bronze satingloss. Couldnt put the front Z tune lip because of the height, might have to tweak the coilovers a bit because it did look good on there!

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
