Fortunately my Z had a brand new cd009 transmission installed by the dealership a few weeks before I picked it up so the **** wasn't seized on there like I've seen some owners have had to deal with; I just followed the FSM and it came off with no issues at all

Got word earlier today that my coils will be taking an extra week or two...

Picked up a JDM Recaro SPG-N from a friend with a pretty interesting history... It was used in a "Fast&Furious: Tokyo Drift" stunt car and one of the only seats left after the movie was completed. The ball&chain will be stitching up the tears/battle scars tomorrow



Also got a used Nardi Classic Leather 340mm to pair with my Works Bell hub

Adds character in a good way

My thoughts exactly. I was thinking it would be my personal tribute to Buster but then I realized Tokyo Drift was the one F&F film that he wasn't actually in... So that wouldn't really work. I love that the back is Silver Metallic which semi-matches my Silver Alloy Z.

Definitely going to log plenty of helmet time after my suspension is installed, if my coils ever arrive

Have you begun to gather/order engine components for your high-comp. rebuild or are you too busy eating KBBQ every day and making me jealous ?

Thanks, unfortunately I installed the SPG-N last night and although it fit my waist perfectly... the shoulder bolsters were too narrow (I only noticed after driving in it and shifting into 2nd/4th/6th) so I will be selling it off... Lol

On the other hand, I did get my ARC V1 axleback and Nismo S-Tune midpipe installed

Before:


After:


I think the bumper tuck compliments it really well. Thoughts?

Actual update: Sold my Recaro SPG-N to Niko (Neeko94), committed to buying a Recaro Pole Position to fit me better. Leaving next Tuesday to the Philippines for a week to work at the 7107 International Music Festival (RHCP, Kaskade, Empire Of The Sun, and Kendrick Lamar headlining), hopefully my coils will be waiting for me when I get back (Stance USA is still lagging).. Installs in March.
