hey, dont change subject.

Nick911sc · 08-30-2011, 01:55 PM

haha!

I know, gotta get this spring in. There are too many cars in my driveway at home right now!

I guess I'll just take BOTH pins out. It's funny when you actually type that because it's really an insignificant amount of effort lol

Anyone who has already installed the spring. Should I take out the bottom pin and leave the top in or the other way around for the easiest install?

Glad it showed up.

I left the top pin in (so the piston stayed connected) and took only the bottom piece -- and everything that comes with it -- out. Didn't see the point of taking the top out if it was just gonna go back in.

talking about running short i was chatting with the wife, while driving down to pickup our kids, about wat i might get after my G35C... i jokingly said i want to get a Accord sedan.

she reached over, felt my forehead, and asked 'ken-san, did you give up on life?'

haha.

Nick911sc · 08-30-2011, 02:29 PM

ROFL

Thinking about getting rid of the G35C anytime soon?

not for at least another two yrs. im the original owner and while she is an older car she's only got 27k miles, still looks brand new, and been very good with transporting kids in the rear seats this year and a joy to drive and own.

like this am weather was perfect with 65F. window down, the commute was

still love the car like the first day i brought her home.

Nick911sc · 08-30-2011, 03:13 PM

Glad to hear!

I've fallen out of love with my DD...

2002 BMW x5 3.0 with 90k miles...Going in tomorrow for new breaks, this thing is a money pit...

Looking forward to replacing her when the time is right. Thinking of an Xterra.

kenchan · 08-30-2011, 03:44 PM

yah, nissan's got a nice line up right now that pretty much fits everyone.

too bad MT's are dissappearing and converted to CVT tranny.

that's about the only downside. they should've at least kept MT option for the maxima's;

I would consider the Juke...But I'm looking for something I can go on offroad trails with confidence. I like to go upstate a lot
