That's kinda cool if they do the oil change with your oil & filter.

I have no idea but you should call them (800) 737-1338 and let them know (Brian) the guy with the silver TT G35 referred you. Again, Tony is very careful with my car and also checks various things when he's got it up on the rack.

My car is making some weird creaking sounds at full turn. Not sure if it is the worn out pad OR the camber arm. I am eagerly waiting for May 1 to swap the pads.
My rotors came in yesterday - centric premium blanks.

Grease the sway bar bushings. Not sure if the Nismo uses polyurathane bushings, but this would be common. You need some silicon grease to do it. We can take care of that with the brakes.

It turns out that those bushings wear out and will start to cause some funky caster issues when they do. A friend of mine is working with Turn in Concepts to develop a urethane bushing to replace the rubber one. SPL has a spherical bearing that they use but it is not really compliant for street use. You'll experience extra wear on that bushing when you lower the car.

^what?? 2 kegs? lol man.....
btw I'm not a huge fan of Heineken, but Corona....oh yeah....
Well the rule with food is everybody who gets their car worked on has to chip in for food for the workers.

To all you comp nerds, so SC2 is finally about to come out, that means I need to build a comp to play it (I pwned all the koreans in sc1 during high school, I was l33t and r0x0red)
I'm looking for parts advice (and may need assembly help too lol). Here's what I posted over at tomshardware.com
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within the next month to two months
BUDGET RANGE: $500-$600 max for comp only, but i'll need wireless keyboard / mouse too
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming (Diablo2-SC2-CS) / Watching movies @ 1080P (would like hdmi
output) / maybe light photo editing if I learn how / playing music
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: OS (already have Windows 7 64-bit)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg, local microcenter, tigerdirect
PARTS PREFERENCES: Would like to use Intel CPU (I5 or I7)
OVERCLOCKING: No / Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: huh?
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Will be connecting to my 47" LCD for movie watching but may also use on 24" LCD if I decide to buy one
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Definitely would like a quiet PC, energy efficient, and doesn't get very hot, good platform for easy future upgrades.
From the initial replies, it looks like I'll have to go AMD because of my price. I don't know much about AMD vs Intel, but just like Intel more cuz of the bigger name.
So what would you guys choose?
btw here's the thread over there:

You don't have any parts that you can use from your old computer? Not even a case?
I could be behind, but I don't think that many games are really set up to run on multiple cores. So you're just as well off to get a dual core with a little more speed than a 3/4 way machine. I'll take a look at newegg later when I finish up some work.

I love my Greddy EVO II exhaust. I plan to make one small change to it to get a little deeper sound. Replace the two Y-sections with an X-pipe. This will be a couple hundred in custom work. I'd also like to reduce the size of the tips. (Eliminating some of the air-rush sound. Probably not doing it this year.

Yeppers. An old friend of mine (and ex-Boss) is the Engineering Manager for Magnaflow. We both used to work for another aftermarket exhaust company. Magnaflow's design looks best.

Love the pic Rob! Look forward to seeing it on Saturday.
The Ride looks awesome Ryan.
Damn! I thought I had the title of being the most slammed at -30mm. LOL
I had to remove my mudflaps just to get out of the driveway.
Honestly, Brian definately has me beat in the front end.
