Also since no one in my area has tried them, and I couldn't find much on the internets...I decided to go out on a limb and try a set of tires for my car from Ebay. The brand is Accelera and the model is Phi. It is an Indonesian tire and supposedly their best one. I ordered them a few days ago. They arrived today. I will be installing tomorrow on the back wheels. I am out of tread on the Advans and need something a little more commute friendly with mileage. I am going to try them and see how they go. I will leave a review on here when I have them on a few miles.
 Also received my Z1 silicone hose kit from another member here in the classified section. Got a few minutes and installed the vacuum hoses. Also installed the coolant over flow hoses. Haven't had a chance yet to do the radiator hoses or the heater hoses. Soon though.    Here's what is still left to go on.

Well...Took the car in to the dealership because 1st-2nd were grinding a little and 4th-5th were also grinding a good bit. Could hold the clutch in while in 6th and shift back and forth to 5th/6th and it grinds every shift...Nissan just installed me a brand new transmission for free.

Yea...Sooo today this happened....
  It happened from this....  Went to a body shop. Asked for an estimate on repainting my rock chipped front bumper and also repainting after sanding my wing. Even went as far as getting an estimate to repaint the whole car. After the idiot body shop owner told me my chipped wing wasn't repairable. I decided I wasn't doing business there because it is easily repairable. Dumb ***. Pissed me off so much. If you are going to run a business..Please know WTF you are talking about if your going to have people pay you for a service. So I go home. Get out some 2k grit wet sand paper and go to town for a minute on the chip. I sanded it out without going through the gel/clear to the fiber. Thank god. Wasn't terribly deep. Then I got out the rubbing compound and hit it with that. After that, I went with the good old car wax. Here is a picture with the wax drying to a haze on the wing. Didn't get many pictures. Sorry.  And here we are all finished and polished out..  No more chip. +1 for me.....Owned body shop |

At least you will have new wheel spacers soon!
Hopefully the shop will get you back on the road quickly! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
