Discount tire sells them for a fair price. Otherwise, call Luther Nissan in IGH and ask for Louise in parts. Tell her to give you the special 'friends' pricing and see what she can do for you.

You're doing it yourself, Greg? Ouch! I took the afternoon off and hung out with my youngest at the house. Tara and her mom went out house hunting for hours. So I took my alone time to wash and wax the minivan. It could use a new paintjob. I found so many dings, scratches, and rust spots that it's painful to see or drive.

I have to go in to work tomorrow for a few hours. My plan is to wash the Impala in the morning, then maybe take the Z through the laser touchless wash on Galaxie before heading out to work.

After seeing all of the pictures on the forum of lowered Nismo Z's I'm definitely considering a set of coilovers for the Z, maybe lower it an inch or so.

Future and current dual exhausts' owner unite !! LOL. Better yet...go with 4 exhaust tips! I bet no one has that in a Z yet f.

I love duals...when's the last time any type of super car had a single exhaust (aka 2.5" restricted piping to a 8" cannitstor and tip)??

I always see a civic or some other pretender sports car with a big a$$ fart tube almost dragging down the road. I don't get it...but to each their own right? You know who else doesn't get it...women. They laugh at those cars. Sometimes it can be done way over the top with a single exhaust IMO.

Well gentleman, my brother and entered the MN WILD Mercedes guess the pucks in the C300 contest and we won!
Tommorow night, he will get a chance to fire 25 pucks in 30seconds from center ice...if so, we win a brand new C300 Sport awd, FTW!
So send your best wishes or prayers our way.
If we like the car we will add it to our stable, otherwise it will be sold and split 3 ways

For the most part yea I did it all myself, I mostly needed someone to help me put the diff back in, taking it down was easy. Got the nismo diff cooler on too, and I must say Dave it would have been a huge waste of time if that's all you were going to do. You still would've had to drop the diff disconnect the axles take out your exhaust, remove the rear sway bar, it would have been a chore.

But as far as an update on the new LSD...... I LOVE IT!!!! acceleration is so much better now. Oh and new rear tires help too Also put redline fluid in the the diff along with new bearings cant wait to try this LSD at DCTC

That's awesome to hear, Greg. I'm jealous. I knew it would be a lot of work to install the cover just to have it, so that's the main reason I didn't do it. Can't wait to see the car run at DCTC.

Oh, now I'm shopping.
