not even boosted, and I was doging the hell out of it..lol. They replaced the slave cyclinder and there was no problem but the reason why it went under a recall was that a lot of people where having there clutch pedal stick to the ground.

part of the front fender, all the driver door and a small portion of the rear fender has either paint chips or egg stains I cannot remove.

The egg not only chipped the paint but it stained the door....can you believe the bill was for only 289 for paint and the rest for labor
insurance lady said that is how they work these days.

There were so many hands in the engine compartment there wasn't any room for more, but yeah...those guys knew your ride and what to do. Your friend under your car was funny.Hope the paint job goes well and is A+++ when done.

Anyway, I just got them in... Talk about fast... I only ordered it last week...
Many thanks to Andy at Performance Nissan...

^You didn't order me a set 
...
I'm probably going to run a close second with you on those. My front pillow ***** are starting to rattle more and more to the point of being annoying.
Hmm...same darker blue like the Zero1 rear mounts we have. They look nice, I likey.
Sorry Ritz...No impact gun.

Crap!!! Its 920 and I still don't have a gun. Looks like I'll have to do a tool run.
John, when you decide on getting them let me know. I have the part numbers saved. I had to pay extra for faster shipping - it is worth it. I got them in 8 days after placing my order. Now that is fast considering they were not in stock and special order.
Well, I'm off to Harbor Freight to pick up a new impact gun. Sure I'll pick up more than the gun!!!
