Yeah we spoke the other week briefly about it. Sucks that the 40th got demolished. Whats your take on the refreshed look of your new one? Im still old school and prefer the original version. I did see a new one up close for the first time last week and I liked it more in person than in pics. Still not a fan of the LEDs on the bumper though.

The look is growing on me and I think I like it better. Of course, this may simply be a result of my subconscious wanting me to like it. I was not a fan of midnight blue at first, but it too has grown on me. Like my 40th, it looks very different in different light -- from almost purple to blue to black. Also, if there is no sunlight on it you cannot see any metallic. In bright sunlight though, it absolutely pops with sparkly goodness.

I have the intake, exhaust, sway bars and spacers done. On Friday the 9th we are installing my Konis and Swifts along with SPC camber arms and short shifter. Saturday the 10th we are doing rotors, pads, brake lines and fluid flush.

It should be good then.

Oh yeah, I miss you here. You are the guy who drove me to Rep.

I actually just sent the front right Koni out for warranty today. Had to warranty the left as well which I just got back about 2 weeks ago. Not very pleased with how these things are holding up at all. I need to take a good look at my rears struts to make sure they aren't leaking as well.

Uh oh. That's unusual in my experience with Koni. The first Koni shock I bought was back in 1979 for my 1967 Datsun 1600 roadster and I have been using them since with no troubles.

that sucks, sorry to hear. them koni's were really never known for reliability...

my tokico's (htc's now) have been on my G since 2005 and no issue 25K+ miles set stiff. i think the
biggest difference is hitachi's have made hundred of thousands of dampers for nissan over the years.

kenchan · 07-31-2013, 03:32 PM

plan of action for tonight...

first do the hamstermill walk again. my ankle was hurting a little bit after yesterday's excercise, but pain has gone away since, so I'm making progress.

then inpsect the clearbra that came in for my Z today.

and install the two fender front areas tonight. will do the hood tomorrow.

afterwards, going to work on measuring and preparing to move all RC gear from my basement to the garage. should occupy most of the night.
