Damn, im tired of waiting for parts. Everything I order takes a shitload of time to research and decide on, since no one around here has anything remotely close to what i'm building that i can check out. After that, 5+ business days for shipping when the damn shipping company can get my parts to my door and i dont have to borrow a van to go pick them up from the loading dock. Buying things off of ebay and never getting a reply and not knowing when my parts are coming so i can set up a time at the garage to install them. Keeping my bodyshop waiting because parts are coming from Nissan Japan and I have no idea when they will be here. Wasting time at work every day making phone calls and emails trying to get things straightened out. Trying to order a B+M short shifter when every dealer is out of stock and the factory supposedly has none either. Checking for sale and group buy forums every hour to see if threads are updated...
I just gotta keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end.

In the past 2 weeks ive made the following orders from various people/ places:

1. s14 kouki JDM Headlights, front bumper, grill, amber blinkers
2. Kouki fenders and corner lights
3. VIS carbon fiber hood
4. KAAZ solid differential
5. B+M short shifter (cancelled order because they were out of stock)
6. B+M short shifter, Nimso 7 sided lug nuts
7. Nismo hard rubber shift knob
8. 300zx rear calipers
9. 300zx ebrakes (took forever to source, and they need rebuilt)
10. 300zx front calipers, all 4 rotors custom plated and drilled, conversion lines, fluid, 300zx 1 1/16 master cylinder
11. s14 zenki side skirts
12. s14 zenki rear valances
13. Appointment with body shop for paint job/ body work
14. im probably forgetting some stuff

:hammer:
ok i just needed to rant. But seriously, its hell waiting for all of these parts to come. I want my car DONE!!!!
