Went to auto zone and had the battery tested, turns out it had bad cells so went to The Parts House, which is sorta like a sponsor but not really. I get parts for 50%+ off and I put their logo on my car because they give me discounts. and bought a new acdelco battery, the positive terminal broke while installing so replaced that too. then went and washed and waxed the beast a lil later on. shined up like a new penny
Also next Saturday I will be the first on the dyno (dynojet) at Burnyzzs' car show/dyno day, all the money they raise is being donated to charity so its a win win for everyone. if I can get the picture to upload I will post it here.

Default Fixed rear end rattle!

I bought my 07 Nismo about four or five weeks ago. It had the "annoying rear end rattle" which was easily searched here, and appears to be common.

So as soon as the weather warmed up, I did this...>>

Ah hah! I've heard this clunking in the RH rear strut mount area since I bought the car and this reminded me. I went ahead and ordered the KYB SM5482 off of Amazon after reading the thread. Hope it does the trick!

Thanks for posting this.

+1 Detail matters to some while a half arsed job is good enough for most. Why places like Maaco and Earl Scheib exists.

Haha yeah the stock system had absolutely no amenities. This new unit is great - bluetooth interaction works perfectly and does a great job with music, phone calls, and even GPS through my iphone! SUPER happy with it! I mainly picked the 68BT because I liked the minimalistic bezel but the features and quality are great.

Exactly my reasons too. I hate the units that have a bezel that bulges out. Looks funky to me. This one is great. Clean design and not a whole lot of buttons like some of the pioneer ones. Plus, I like a volume **** haha

Decided to give her some love. Purchased new wheels and tires, new brake pads, new filters, new oil, new brake fluid, redoing my rear suede.

God. I have lots to do in prep for a track tour.
