I saw your car at the last meet. Looked good with the bumper. Are there any issues with the bumper I need to know?. (fixed cracks, chips?).

The bottom lip was redone to fix a crack. Turned out better than before paintwise.
TZhere are paint chips, but that'll all be gone after a fresh repaint.

I could give you 3 better choices than a dealership to get your alignment done:

Jeff the alignment guy

Auto Edge

Ridgedale Sears - assuming the same people work there

As Alex stated, it can pull forward onto the pads. They claim that the front bumper is too long. They can't even service the Nismo Z then with that kind of excuse.

I called Jeff. Got an appt next week. Should have done that a long time ago. I just thought that the new Hunter machine would be a good option for the Z. Now Walser won't be getting any of my business or referrals.

We usually get to the track at DCTC by 0730 to help out, register, do tech inspections, etc.

the equipment is only as good as the people using it. an alignment is an alignment regardless what machine/technique is used to get you to where you need or want to be.

You are better off at a shop like Jeff's or Auto Edge. They will put you to your desired spec vs going by the book's OEM specs

lol... you suck. I didn't want a link, just wanted to know the location. You google-monster, you!

That's too far anyway, so I'm going to see Jeff in Bloomington.

It feels weird to see it mostly stock again.


Since my dad bought it from me, he asked me to put the front plate on.

$50. I think Dave may have dibs on them atm. He can chime in.




Btw, I'll be delivering everything and taking money in December, so there's plenty of time to gather up some funds.
