If I were to buy anything else it would not be an Altima.

Robert, not sure what it is yet, should know more by tomorrow probably.

I'm going to have mine fixed and your's is going to be broke. LOL Never gonna get our fun run in!

Of course I need to be home to drive mine.

All seriousness hope you're back on the road soon!

Man so many things going on with your Teins...wth? Mine are bouncy as hell, but can't say I've had those problems, and I'm almost slammed to the ground.

Got the car back.
A couple bolts on the bottom needed to be 'tapered' I guess, not sure the exact terminology, but the one in there were moving slightly and one came loose enough causing the issue. It is all fixed and no more weird sound.

Now keep it on the road long enough that I have time to actually see it at some meetup. I don't think I've seen it once since the SC install

Don't plan to throw it in the shop for awhile, want to just drive.

Aye Dreamer just wanted to say I love how your Z looks now, super jealous.

theDreamer · 08-01-2012, 02:01 PM

Currently I am in maintenance stage with the car. New tires earlier this year, clutch is almost gone (still on factory clutch at just under 50,000 miles), brakes are starting to squeal a little now and again. With tuition on the line and parts needing to be ordered I am just going to go with some upgrades to the factory BBK this year and get the clutch done also.

Parts I am looking at ordering in the next month.
Brakes:
-J-Hook rotors from Stillen
-Hawk pads
-Goodridge SS Lines
-Motul brake fluid probably
-10mm spacers for the rear

Clutch:
-ZSpeed CSC
-Spec Stage 2+ Clutch/flywheel combo

Sport mode turns up the bass on the stereo

.

Good to see the car's been back out in the world a bit though. Some Tuesday maybe I'll see it again

Damn, so that is what it does.
We went to a new indoor paintball place last night, you definitely missed out on some fun.

Yeah I saw the thread, Pasadena's not far from me either, but I've been working a lot of evenings lately.

Robert_K · 08-01-2012, 02:11 PM
