This was one of the most frustrating projects that I have done do date. It took me right back to those painful days of installing drivers, blue screens, crashes, hardware incompatibilities and re-installs. I don't think I have installed any OS more than Windows 98. On...
In an on-going to quest to log all the projects that I work on I am going to keep this article as a running log of all the improvements, changes and maintenance I have done to my 350z. Blacking out the badges and bumper I had seen a few Z's rolling around with blacked...
This article was suppose to be two different articles but I took so long to do them that I ended up making a new pedal board and thought I would just create one log entry for them both. As usual I have made to many of something and I wanted to have a pedal board for...

Seeing all the Retropie projects online got me looking at how I could put together one of my own but with a bit of a twist. I have seen a few people build a Raspberry Pi RetroPie rig inside a playstation shell before but they always used USB ports on the front for...
