So my car will be ready tomorrow... when I'm going out of town... ugh. Oh well.
I've been driving my friend's g35 around and it seems like it can't handle speed as well. Anyone else notice that? I can get up to well over 120 in the Z without a problem but in the 35, when I got up to 80, it was blowing all over the road even though it wasn't windy at all... huh.
Good luck with finishing that though IP! I bet it'll be amazing!

I'm not even sure if the small oem rear lip spoiler is large enough to stablize the rear at high speeds. I have a JDM Nismo spoiler so I've never felt that at high speeds.....I've even got the Z up to 150 mph and felt stable.
Besides....you shouldn't be driving that fast anyways !

The abuse, age, and the miles on my car are taking their toll and getting to a point where they can no longer be ignored and put off without risking safety or a potentially bigger bill. I'm looking to update/replace a lot of the old parts on my car very soon so I'm looking for help on locating the below items, in order of importance:
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. I know some of you guys are much better at finding deals than I am, so I turn to you guys for help, DFW. I'm open to all suggestions on the above items. I'm poor so the less money I have to spend, the better.
- full OEM Brembo brakes or other relatively cheap alternatives
- maybe a new diff; FD will remain 3.5
- coilovers
- any front bumper in Daytona Blue

I am just amazed at the horror in Japan. My family lived there for 4 years (navy) I was made (conceived) in Japan. My heart and prayers go to all the people of Japan.

My wife's mother & father are from Japan & still have relatives that live there....we visited them in 2008. All of them live by Tokyo and south.....so nobody was hurt in her family.

I'd sell ya my Diff for cheap...but it's Auto and 3.3 FD.
I still have a set of Oem Rotors if you want them. They have been to Eric, & Pat....none of which needed or used them.

^^^Ditto on the bearing holmes...that sucked.. I wanted good news damnit..at least I know I can do bearings though - pressing them off/on..
At least I made the A/C line work .....I just hope it holds up when new refrigerant gets put back in
stephen - what was the tap size we needed again? Im going to order me a set of fine thread.. this generic sae/metric crap is for the birds..I dont like being in a crunch and no stores have what we need or they are open from 9-5 when most people work..
