yep! :tup: make sure you let it sit on some old newspaper for a couple of days to rid the excess paffrin in there. otherwise it smears on glass. :)

Thanks, good to know, I'll try that out Mr. K.!

Dude... how the heck did you break that strap wrench? Dang... yours was on a LOT tighter? So what was the fate of your stock knob? Still in good shape?

Nice pic of the install. Looks great in there. How does it feel?

Drove to and from work with a modified "clutch helper spring". This is the way the stock clutch should have been...

I just finished dialing in my alignment specs. I highly recommend anyone who drives their Z through the twisties dial out the toe-in recommend by Nissan. It really wakes the car up to run no toe-in, and even more so if you run toe out.

Ps google G35 dog poop...it's worth it ;)

STOCKER :ugh2:

Yea when it happened and I was in need of a new panel since indention were visible and scratches but still haven't replaced since I am waiting until either interior is finished or a show to take the z too... then ill pay 400 lol and first thing i do is throw away the insert lol and use my carbon fiber one.

I am hoping to find somebody that is going to paint the interior " i know i know" but maybe they will take mine and some cash since the body shop is going to destroy theirs... BTW: I look at every single time I drive the car. :shakes head:

toe in the back? rear left: 0.16, rear right: 0.16; total 0.32 degrees

nothing special!

as for what else i did with my Z today...i surprisingly set off a few car alarms in an uber busy parking structure. then went to watch fast5. came out and felt like a total ricer getting into my car. :driving: good movie though!
