Decided to keep the car and continue on..

I decided to keep my car and just continue on modifying it....   Seems like the economy is so bad none of my stuff is moving....   Anyways so I decided to get bags...here are some pics.    All I've done was just run the power line for the compressors and notched the perches for the bags up front.   Wednesday going to install the compressor and tank and then this weekend do some valving and more wiring.    If time permits maybe I can get the bags and lines all done but doubtful.

This is what it looks like stock RS-R coilover

This is with the UAS bag and the perch slightly trimmed to fit the air fitting

Sorry to hear that it didnt sell but I am glad you are still modifying the car.  Wish I could of picked up the coilovers but I dont need them until next year so I wasted my money on other stuff.

This is cheaper anyways... If I got a new car I'd have payments and right now its nice not having one...

this should be a good thread. Nice Pics! Glad you kept the car

Nice to see the Q will be modded , Great car to have , 

Nice quality pics too and should be awesome to see another bagged car on the boards

I think UAS recommends adding the metal brackets on each side of the bag to keep it centered. Will that perch stay put without the other one locking against it?

Glad you're keeping the car!

good picks , its looks  the same as a y34 strut from the picture ..
 
let me know if you change your mind again i am on the hunt for suspension parts and this might be an option ...PENDING FITMENT

Glad you're keeping the car![/QUOTE]

sup Chrispy...  This isn't the type of lock nut where you use 2 and lock them together...this one is actually just 1 lock nut with a slit and a allen bolt that squeezes it onto the strut.

As for the the metal brackets my locknut actually has a lip inside where it is pretty much centers the bag.   Also the diameter of the strut already is the size of the sleeve inside the bag so there isn't too much room for play anyways.   I'll take pics because I think I have to take it apart and reset the perch heights anyways.

Awesome!  I am glad to see you are keeping it and going even bigger.  Keep those pics coming!

Glad your not selling the car because its said to see Q's being sold, but sad I missed out on some good deals can't wait to see it done up all the way

slowly but surely...thanks guys.

Tomorrow heading up to my friends shop....  he made his own CNC machine out of wood, motors, and circuit boards.   Going to just cut out some panel boards for the compressor and tank to sit on so I can still access the spare and what not.    I haven't asked but maybe I can get it carpeted too so it won't look so ghetto..   I'll post pics soon.

yep, rove it

No joke... has 3 motors for X Y axis and a motor to bring the drill up and down.   Rolls on bearings and rails etc.    

We first drew it up on CAD and then on some CNC program.   I was damn impressed he built this thing.   Hooked up the power and his shop vac and it went to work.

He just sent me a link of when it first worked...  looks alittle different now with a brush and vacuum hose hook up which isn't shown here.  Total cost was around 2K for the whole build.
[YOUTUBE]lDWp4ctmaAM[/YOUTUBE]

I looked into that a while back, but lost interest...haha.  There's stuff all over online on how to build them.  If I didn't have such a big ADD issue, I probably would have built one.  Or I would have built half of it and then found interest in something else..hahaha.

well this is the piece that we made...  its simple and easy to take in and out.   This isn't a show build so I didn't want anything fancy.   I will get it covered in leather or vinyl or cloth...Anyways another step done.   The CNC just cut out the whole piece and drilled each hole as well as the countersunk holes.

That came out clean cant wait to see the rest of what you have in store for it...

looks real nice

+ 1 looking :biggthumpup:

Blitz keeping his car: Awesome

Home built CNC Machine for around 2k Priceless.

nice...keep us posted!

Getting there slowly but surely.

Not sure which valve group is going to do which bag yet.   I'm also trying to figure which way to get my air source routed into the trunk.   All my wiring I think I'll be going through the right side.   Either drill a hole and use the supplied grommets or use an existing vent hole flap thingy.    I'm not even sure where to mount the gauge and the switches yet.   I've been busy lately so been trying to do little by little late at night.
[IMG]http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll56/tony42378/F50/P1020182.jpg[/IMG]

I didn't put much thought into this tank/compressor setup.   I just want it to work and look semi-clean with little to no problems.
[IMG]http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll56/tony42378/F50/P1020176.jpg[/IMG]

nice idea

good choice. i think its always best to finish a build as opposed to stopping midway and never seeing it reach its potential.

looks like its coming out good!

Looks clean. I hope you don't get rear ended.

That's a seriously stealth setup, and that platform for your tank and comps looks great.
 
Can't wait to see it all up and running.

Sorry to Rain on your tread , but i hope you are planning on  driving this in the winter  region.. or HEADING IN A REGION WITH SNOW ANY TIME  PERIOD !!!
 
And its a great idea but you have to keep checking for rust on the fittings due to salt and dust ....if you are heading out of CAL ..
 
Actolex will be able to help of some of the issues that will arise before hand because he did the same thing but on a M ...in NJ/NYC ..
 
i can't wait to see this ride when you are done ...:biggthumpup:

I doubt my car will ever see snow.   In SoCal the cars stay in better condition then most other places.   Little rain...hardly any snow   The temperatures I see everyday is from 35 at the lowest and 105 at the highest.   Right now I'd say about 90.   If I do every plan on going to the mountains I'll take something else.   Does that mean everyone with bags in harsh winter regions check their fittings on their bags on each corner more often?

Yeah I know...That's the risk I take I guess.    Right now I'm not driving with any bumper support beam since the JDS bumpers are shorter.   After the air is done I'm going to look into chopping up the beam to make it fit.

Below is a few days ago after finishing the wiring.

[IMG]http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll56/tony42378/F50/UAS/P1020191.jpg[/IMG]

I'm adjusting the collar height to be 3.5" from top.   The inner sleeve in the bag is 4" but I wanted to give the shock .5" extra space since I don't know where the shocks will damage.
[IMG]http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll56/tony42378/F50/UAS/P1020192.jpg[/IMG]

Comparing UAS on RSR coilovers next to stock struts with Swift springs.   Keep in mind the stock strut with the swift spring compresses a good amount so the difference in height is less than you think.

Clean setup.  Real nice.  If I ever do a show type sound system, I may need to borrow that idea to free up some space

great idea on valve placement.. I put mine in my fender wells and let me tell you about loud! It scares the cats

+ 1 for blitz and this air ride ..:biggthumpup: now will you like to compare the f50 and the y34 now that you have an extra set of struts ?

Hey Blitz the car looks sick but I agree with you when you say you could go lower. DO IT!

[QUOTE=widebody_Q;273838]:biggthumpup:Looks great.  Don't you now wish you would of bagged your car sooner?[/QUOTE]

Yes and no.   I'm getting some clunking noise on certain bumps.   Also have a pop noise when I go full down on my rear left side.   I need to figure out what it is this weekend.   Also have some air leaks but I figure it to happen and will try and solve that also with the good old water/soap trick.   

The going up and down is fun and looks sweet parked.   I'm still trying to figure out what I want to drive at.  

So far how I drive it now:

Parked 0psi front 0-10psi rear
Driving 50psi front 70psi rear
going up bumps 90psi front 90psi rear

The clunking noise is common.  I was going nuts the first week but I got used to it.  I don't have gauges so I can't help you with the PSI.  After a couple days, you know exactly how to play with the controller to get the car to sit where you want it and how to drive it comfortably

Wow no gauges?   You must have counted how many times you push or hold the buttons.  LOL   Right now I just did a test drive and set the front at 35psi and I rubbed when I made a u-turn.    I guess its got to be 40psi+ up front.   The rear I kept looking and comparing to the front and then how parallel the sideskirts were to the floor...I figured 70 is now too low and 80ish is best for rear...  This is all driving height.

Yeah the front is actually pretty low but could go lower.   Like you said the front is high arched and so the upper liner is low itself and am pretty much either touching or almost touching the tire.   I am running 35 series tires so that can also make a difference.    Radiusing the rear would be awesome but I don't know about how it would look when I raise the car to drive around.

Sick!

nice setup dood, i'll have to check it out when i stop by to grub :runcoold:

looks sick man. :biggthumpup:
 
fronts could definitely go lower when dumped though. crank those coils down! :giggity: rims look much better now. sucks u were forced to keep it but glad u got to air it. i wonder what psi i ride at lmao. still didnt get around to putting my gauge in. hows the ride quality?

Ride is actually ok now.   I'm currently driving around 50psi front and 90psi rear.  The ride seems to be better with that setup.   Less noise too.  

You didn't install pressure gauges?   How do you know how high or low you are without getting out of the car?   Also getting to 100psi is pretty fast and the bags say 110psi max...

universal air can take higher psi, and i have no idea how low im riding i guess i could just tell by now. i constantly adjust while driving anyway so i keep the switchbox on my lap. i have a dakota digital gauge that i need sendors for that im gonna install someday. im curious as to what psi im driving at normally.
your comfortable psi will be different from mine cause of your stiff rsr coilovers compared to the brand new modified and shortened stock struts i used.
 
oh yeah i also have those suppressors on the valves that are adjustable to how fast/loud the dump is and i have 3/8 inch lines not 1/2 inch so the raise isnt as jumpy.

I'm also using the dakota digital gauge...too bad you didn't have the sending units to begin with when you did the air install.   Also I'm 1/4in lines...and I think the speed is perfect however hard to adjust to exactly what psi you want so I just get as close as I can.

The fronts are coilover but the rear I still have the factory shock in...was kinda lazy to put the RSR back in.   However the ride is still good with the stock shocks in the back.

Clean install!

Blitz I really like your car, keep up the GREAT work!

i did have senders, but they were sleazystreet brand. even if they worked i woulda tossed em. :saiyancrunks:

Car looks great Blitz, glad you decided to keep it, there are so few F50's here we need to keep them in the limelight....

great progress since the last time i saw this one.

Update...I changed my air valves to the Accuair and saved alot of space and weight.    Some say it's too slow but I don't see too much of a difference since I'm running 1/4in lines anyways.   I like it slow and not like hydraulics.   Install was also easier since there are less plumbing and therefore less chance of leaks.   Right now have 2 x 3/8 lines from tank to the Accuair VU4 manifold and then 3/8 line to a T where it converts back down to 1/4 and the other opening has the pressure sending unit.   I ordered it from UAS and they explained all the pros and cons...thanks guys.

A month or 2 ago I sent in my car to get the rear bumper fixed.   Had a minor bumper contact while parking.   While that was getting fixed I got the front bumper also repainted and mid piece accent thingy painted...and mounted in the middle on black mesh.    Before I used to just have nothing there..not even the black mesh stuff.   You can't see the mesh very well in the pics but its there.   That middle piece really made a huge difference and glad I decided to put it on.   BTW it came with the kit but couldn't figure out how I was going to mount it.   I gave it to my bodyshop guy and he did it for me.   Since we were shooting the same paint color I got the visors painted body color also.

Here is a pic when I first got the kit on....  You will notice different rims, different hood mascot, painted visors, front bumper center piece and mesh added and air suspension now put on...

the painted visors and the lower grill insert look awesome! the little touches can go a long way!! Keep it!!

I see your car everyday at the best AYCE sushi around here ;). Daily Driven VIP FTW.

[QUOTE=tommiedred;303763]The car is really nice:biggthumpup: do you plan on adding foglights?[/QUOTE]

yah know I really really really want them but just couldn't justify spending $400 for them.   

￥39,900 (税込)
〔本体価格〕￥38,000 

I think I will eventually.

they are replica e320 fogs.  You can get them on ebay for under $100 shipped brand new

edit: these may be different fogs.  Not sure if the bumper overlaps the fog or it fits snug in the hole.  Its hard to tell

I hear you that's alot for some damn fogligts...like agi said maybe check out the replica E320 fogs on ebay or check a junkyard first just to see if they fit right then cop the ones on ebay.

Sooo when are we doing a AYCE Sushi VIP GTG ?? xD

Are you talking about this one?

You think it'll work?

[IMG]http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll56/tony42378/F50/P1020590.jpg[/IMG]

It might
If ya mount em upside down
Or having a body shop fill the gaps left over from them not fittin correctly. It'll still beat that $400 price tag on the Japanese ones.

Damn Blitz your car is looking really nice, now that you got the air all worked out. I'm about to join the crowd should have my UAS arriving sometime in the near future. Do you have any more pics of the install or how you ran the air lines? That's the one thing I'm hesitant about is running my own air lines. I'm sure I can get the wiring and all done but just unsettled on the air lines. Also did you end up getting a modified re bar back on the car or not?

Once again great job and I hope you keep the car you got it looking really nice and you've put a lot of work into it.

Wish I had 15k to throw at u. I wanted an f50 before I got my y33 but at the time they were still 20k +. Nice build homie

there is plenty of room for the lines.   Under the car you will see alot of lines going from the front and back of the car like the hard brake lines.  I used some of those channels to run the line.  On the driver side I just used those mounting tabs UAS provides you with.   I didn't use up half of those tabs.   The only hardest and crappiest part was running the power wire.   It's still abit halfassed the way i installed it.   I didn't do the bumper bar thing yet.   Haven't had time and have to find someone that can do it.   I think I know someone but it ain't cheap.  anyways good luck.

I might just have to come by and check them out...  I've got to see if these will just fit on or need to modify my bumper.   There are 2 bracket tabs on the bumper on each side each opening.  Each tab has a single hole.   It looks like these fog have something on the sides that would just pop right in.   But wouldn't mounting fogs upside down shine it upwards?   I though fogs were designed to point downwards so it doesn't reflect the light off the fog to the driver.

Wow! I just saw this! Nice update! Nice wheels! Nice bumper add on! Nice all things:biggthumpup:

lemme know.. or next time we're down at your spot to grub i'll bring em' by..

It appears like the tuck behind the kit and not sit flush.  I seriously doubt that JDS makes fogs.  Matter of fact, no Japanese companies make fogs unless they just modify the internals of other OEM fogs.

Hey Blitz how did you mount the metal cup brackets that hold the rear bag in the rear spring holders.
Here's a pic from earlier in your thread that might help you answer my question.
[IMG]http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk152/bknumbas/P10201841.jpg[/IMG]
Any help is greatly appreciated. I got my bags ready to go should be finishing up some work on the trunk tonight so I can start runinng my air lines and mounting the bags on thursday. I wanna do the rear myself, then I have a shop lined up for the front.
 
Any updates on your car?

I didn't...it sits loose.   I hate it...makes noise.   Look on UAS site and look at some of the sample pics of another Q45 that made a plate and mounted the bag onto it..  I'm thinking about it.

hey what kit do you have? I keep forgetting the name of it! I am looking for kits. Is it fiberglass? or hopefully frp.

JDS..  I think autofashion gets it.   I'm not sure on material.  I think fiberglass..

okay thanks! i knew it was something like that.. but I was way off on the google search. haha. Still pondering a kit.. but i really like that one. Now that i am turning my car into a dori machino may be a lil more than i want to spend if i am to mess it up.. none the less looks tight. Back to being on topic! Keep up the awesome work

dude...I have the perfect bumper for you...  I actually have a Impul front bumper in TLC condition as in it needs some fixing but minor...  I think I have the rear too but the rear needs more work.   Let me know if you are interested...   I think if I can find a box I can greyhound ship it so it'll be cheaper.

Qfour5, I had my shop weld up a plate in the rear so it wouldnt slide around.  Its not needed though

yo blitz dont do it. those damn body kit companies sellin DEPO brand E-class foglights are whack. nearly all the companies utilize that foglight. its such a generic pos light and needs trimming to fit. im still pretty salty about my 430 dollar poor investment. if i knew it was depo brand, and that it wouldnt be at least a decent fitment i would have just retrofitted any other hella or other brand oem quality foglight. 

also i didnt think having those rear mounting plates really were optional lol. i dont know cause i didnt do the install but the cup things look like more weight n work. i think drilling holes n fabbing a plate is quicker? just my guess. 
anyway heres mine to get an idea

cups are pretty old school. what's common now is plating the lca (similar to this but welded in). then you have the 2 bolts on the bottom of  the bag holding it directly to the control arm.

^ that is nice!

I just realized I never got you those pics of the bumper...ugh.. sorry

Oh mike I like that one. And Blitz is this the kit that was up on NICO a long while ago. With a little warping on the rear? If thats the one it might be perfect for what Kouki is looking for.

Yeah, anything is better than the rear bumper right now.. someone hit it with a red car so i have a baboon ass for a Q45

Update...  Sold the SSR Vienna Kreis and bought MPRD's Super Star Wheels Leon Hardiritt Vertu rims.  Polished/black

I think it will be very interesting to see these on this body style. I have yet to see that. I too can not wait

Nice wheels:biggthumpup:

Tires were mounted today.... but the front stretch worries me.   225/35R19 on a 19x10.   My tire guy says its a pretty extreme stretch but I've seen worse on here.   I think I'll try them on and see what kind of clearence I get.   If I have room I'll jump to a bigger size tire to be on the more safer side.

^ for sure

Alright had alittle time and just tried one corner in the rear...  The front from my measurements from previous 19x9 +3 to 19x11 +7 is only going to push the new rim out 8mm which totally manageable.   The rear for sure will need more work since the last set of 19x11 +3 was already touching the lip to the inside quarter panel.  Now that I'm -5offset in rear I'm 8mm more in poking in the rear.   Here is how it sat.

wonder if going with a narrower tire? 

One thing i know and still trying to figure.. is the suspension geometry on these cars. the rear is weird.. I will compare it to the nissan s14 since it is in a nissan group. in the rear you put any kind of load on the rear it cambers in more.. with the F50 it seems not to do that so much. 

Like even if you were to get the tire not to touch the fender.. the lip would.. Just shows that the multilink suspension does keep a full contact patch greater than those who dont have it. but that isn't what we are all about is it? :D

Oh looks pimp as fizuck!! l

The rear suspension is most comarable to 350z.   I haven't seen many suspension but the Z comes close.  The rear that is..    The fronts don't camber worth crap...  only reason I have camber right now is because the RSR coilovers has an adjustment for max camber.

damn looks pretty spot on!! cant wait to see full pix!! good stuff!!

looks insane already.  Agree though you may need an even smaller tire for the 19x11.  What size tire and what brand is that?

yeah for sure! I am running all g35 stuff right now in the rear.. awaiting still on cool suspension stuff to make my own lol

[QUOTE=Kouki Monster;321958]yeah for sure! I am running all g35 stuff right now in the rear.. awaiting still on cool suspension stuff to make my own lol[/QUOTE]

What stuff are you using?   The only thing i can think of is the lower arm which changes the camber or the other arm which changes caster?

coil over, no usage of arms or anything

looking good man!!!!looks like its almost der may be just a slight camber in the rear and that shit be on point good choice on the rims :biggthumpup:.....

These look so much better, mounted on a car :biggthumpup:

ok it's official I'm an idiot...  I should have gone wider tires.  ugh   I had enough space to stick my pudgy finger in between snuggly which means I have about 10+mm left.   Anyways I'm going to get some bigger tires from Nelson.   BTW the fronts aren't rolled or modified in anyway.   Stock it is somewhat half rolled so there is a good amount of space.    I think I'll get them rolled and put the camber back to stock so I don't run through tires so much.  Here are some pics.

Damn, your Q gulped thos wheels up. Looks good, real good. I think I saw you exiting the 5N a while back, was a Thursday night, probablly 9:00ish cause that's about the time I roll out from the euro meet at the In n Out down there.

they look good on there

now we need some high res pics so i can use them as my desktop.

They look great but they make your brakes look tiny. That is the nice thing about a full face rim, you don't see the brakes.

sickness :thumbsup:!!!!!!!

blitz your shit is so fucking sick.

I'm diggin the new set up!  Can't wait to see it in person

Omg these wheels look so sick on the Q, put all four wheels on and take full pix alrede =)

Hopefully those tires help pull the issue with the fronts together. Was nice meeting you - way, way cool dude. And your f50 is off the chain. +1 on sushi!!!

damn another set of wheels haha. looks super sick though, why not just add like a 10mm spacer upfront? 

and as long as your toe is close to zero your tires shouldnt go out that fast.

My favorite Q

:BermudaBowned::bowdown::drool::drool::drool:

As I stated in the chatbox, I LOVE IT!!!!
It's a different wheel that most would not choose and would sleep on based on how different it is from what else is out there! This sets you away from the average looking style car! Like in Japan there's a few cars they will do a crazy wheel and it will stand out so much because of how well the wheel is pulled off and because u don't see it everyday or alot which keeps it fresh and making your car one of a kind! I LOVE IT! :biggthumpup:
