Kenchan- Congrats! I'm sure you're excited to get that car back on the road. Surprised you use Mobil 1 though (not trying to start a great oil debate)

thanks.

hey, does cosworth actually make those filters per their specs or is that a rebadge from someone else?

not that im getting a pair.

mobil1 is good stuff for newer engines imho. been using it for like the last 10yrs or more.

ive looked at purple power and redline, but for my driving mobil1 is sufficient. if i do MT fluid change though (on my G), im going to use redline.

That is an excellent question! Going to try and find the answer

Pretty sure it's a re-badge. When I called them, they weren't even able to tell me the info on the sheet included with the filter. Me thinks they don't know much about them.

Evo X guys showed dyno's with Cosworths boasting nice numbers.

I went with 255/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear.

Got them through a member of our club. INI - Indiana Nissan Infinity.

He works at a local tire shop. Got them for $1300 installed.

are you doing the change yourself?

i need to do coolant drain/fill again on my G when i do oil change in a week or so...can't believe it's already been 2yrs since the last time. time goes by too fast.

nice!

255/35 is kinda thin on the profile side, but that's ok? i think i wouldve done 265/35 on the front.

Yeah, I have too many numbers in my head today. It's 255/40/19. Now I have to call and make sure that's what I actually ordered.

just got a note from wife that the dot3 i wanted was out of stock. wtf walmart, your store locator showed IN-STOCK at the particular store.

this is why i hate working with fail. lol

guess i will pass on the brake fluid change until next time.
