lol, I have to replace a window in my jeep tomorrow because the cold was too much for the texas vehicle and it couldn't handle the stress. Do you have any idea of how hard it is to wrench on a vehicle with thick gloves? lol

Glad to see you guys are coming along.

Tis a balmy 53 degrees here.

I remember back in high school we had lacrosse practice one day and it was so cold my contacts froze, my breath froze on my facemask, my lip froze to my mouthguard and started bleeding, and I had to use two hands and twist my body to unlock my car since the power locks had broken. My hands were so numb I couldn't turn the key. Oh, and my sweatpants kept falling down so I couldn't run either.

Damn, that's cold. In Chicago, it's not as cold, but the wind chill makes it feel that cold. I thought my face was going to freeze off today.

WWW.CAR-PARTS.COM

Search infiniti g35 and Nissan 350z............call and ask for cell phone picture to be text to you or emailed to you. junk yards are lazy...keep calling...

good luck....i paid 475 for mine, and 25 bucks shipping for all 4 calipers, lines and pads that were on them..

When you do find them, tell them you need the two rear bolts per side....ie, 4 bolts total if the calipers are still on the car...if they are already off the car, odds are the bolts arent there.....

rear bolts must be M12x1.75-35mm grade 10.9 zinc flanged hex head - call metric and multi-standard in Irving texas for them. use the washers from your current bolts as needed.

I've been looking at car-parts.com and they have a few. I'm thinking about selling one of my guns that I never really use anymore so I have some extra cash for some parts. Just kinda on the fence about getting rid of it.

Ok, so here is some pics

I am waiting on the cubbie door (no nav) to come in. It is CF with the Z logo in the center, I wanna do something a little different. Im hoping one of you guys might give me a hand. It would require putting some white l.e.d.s. in the cubbie. Anyone game ?
