There is some problem with a low speed only suspension noise that I have not been able to identify. I will do a little searching on here and start a post in the suspension section if I do not find an answer.

Did you install the plastic piece from your OEM springs? It sits on the top of the coil spring. Lube up the end links and strut bar rubber cushions. Just a thought

Griot's....I should have known..l still think he works for them and has a lot of stock in their company. Toolbox looks a tad small for my money clip....jealous....

So many toys on my x-mas list and all I get is coal.

Been deciding whether to bust out for the Hottest Z Calendar Issue OR spring for the PWJDM knob

Both will keep the right hand shifting.....oh snap.....no chicks in the calander....so wrong.

so story.

vestito 1: destroyed during tsunami thing most likely.
Vestito 2: got lost in mail.

THEY lost it in the mail. We get a free replacement(number three) but....WE have to pay for the shipping. was like what ? almost 1500-2000 dollars?

so now we are about 4-5 months after number 3 shipped.

still nothing, no idea when its arriving or if it will even arrive.

I swear to god I am never buying another amuse part. ever again. I actually wanted to buy their titanium exhaust if my FI one got sold or broken.

Now screw them. seriously.

wow, that's crazy.

oh...gotcha. The G must get a winter beating with the weather you have. I would be buying it in bulk (5 gallon plus) if they sell it in that size...shipping would be thru the ceiling though. And I thought I was bad cleaning the Z every weekend 9 months out of the yeaar, but between you and Mr onzedge I think you two should have your our own network detail show.

Also I paid for my amuse vestito kit end january. they recieved money early february.

Its now december.

Still no body kit.

First one got lost in mail.

then we had to pay the shipping for the second one.

That one still hasn't arrived.

FUN FACT. No shipping tracking. they apparently have no idea where the **** it is at the moment.

No because that money wouldn't even cover half of what I would need to keep up with the GT-R.

Especially now

And considering that the vestito has only been shipped to europe twice (mine and some german) it is preeeetty exclusive here.
