Last night me and Ryan went to watch FnF4 along with some of my s2k friends. Movie wasnt so bad. They def focused on the storyline more now.

Afterwards, we went to BBL and nobody was there so we went to KBL and they had a crowd out there. WINDY as **** out there.

Your car looks sick Ryan!

The day I was supposed to go to Corr and get a retune was the day that it stormed like crazy! And they didnt have power etc etc. Its weird because when I drive my car normal its fine. I notice that its only when I push the car hard it goes out of wack... I'm gonna get a retune to see what my AFR is at.

On another note, I have a few things coming in tomorrow...

2.87 GTM pulley (12psi)
GTM Pulley kit (for reduced slippage)
The correct K&N air filter for the Z's vortech. (I'm currently using the G's filter)

Then going for another retune once everything is installed.

The EDFC is a cool toy that I will probably miss more than I should since i have no business setting up suspension on my own.

I am going with something different because I tend to make rash silly decisions and then regret them. The monoflexes are very nice units form what i can tell. I only had them on good roads 4x



Whats the word on your car?
The shop I took the car to did the same thing as Nissan, basically, but more in depth.

They said it's something in the motor not letting it crank. They think it's a bent rod, but aside from pulling the car apart, there's no way to tell for sure.

With that said, the car wasn't running at all, so they sourced a motor with 50k miles for me from a rear-end total Z.

I may still be able to use my clutch & flywheel which may knock as much as a thousand from the $6,495.36 they quoted me.
