Boyland Nissan in Macomb
They rock. Just ask for the before/after print-outs and they will do that for you. I got my alignment there after my COBB spring install. They have an excellent machine there, excellent service manager, excellent master mechanic). They may even take you back and show you exactly what they did.
BELLE TIRE SUCKS ***. They f-ed up my rims and I will never take my car to ANY of their shi++y *** **** poor crappy f-ing shops.

They acted like they had no idea what I was talking about.
My car is lowered on Tanabe GF210 springs. I just recently purchased the SPC rear camber kit. I am looking for a good shop that is going to be wiling to work with me. I want then to show me the print outs before thy do the alignment and after.
I am going through rear tires like mad. I love the look, but I want to get the rear camber dialed in. Does anyone have any suggestions for rear camber angles? I do 5 or so OTD's per year. So I am looking for a good balance between tire wear and handling.
Thanks,
Sean

I've been a member of the Windy City Z Club and the Smoky Mountain Z Clubs in the past. Has anyone organized a club for the Motor City? I'd be happy to help if anyone is interested. (I've pulled together fun runs for the RX8 clubs and meets for Toyota Solara forums. <That was a while ago!> )
Looking forward to the next local meet.

I see a few of you are up near Nissan in Farmington Hills. Any employees here?
I work for a Japanese Trading company just down the block on 12 mile and Farmington. If you see a red 350ZR running around, feel free to wave. (Please use more than one finger when waving)

I'm finally getting my Nismo LSD with the 3.9 final drive installed tonight at Speed Industry !!! So pumped about it right now. I'm sure I'll have a little review of it to post when it's done.

^^^^^^^what he said. Unless you're swapping the entire pumpkin with a new entire pumkin, that's going to take about 2 days worth of full work. Just my 2 cents though.
Dil.........what work is your car getting? Is one of your turbo's leaking oil?

If any of you guys have a stock exhaust that you are willing to sell let me know, need one ASAP.
Or if you have access to a welder and can weld a exhaust hanger back on that would be helpful too.

AJ... ????? Getting rid of the Z ?????
That's too bad unless your picking up something like a G37....
PM me about the exhaust.... I'm interested. If you still have TPs that'll fit an '06 I may be interested in those as well. Please let me know or put me on the wait list. Thanks
