Long tube header install is quite an undertaking on the z

Hmm. I'm asking around right now but so far it's not looking good.

My Tech thinks nothing of the "demon" bolts because he works with them all the time. In fact, he doesn't even call them "demon bolts"! :rofl2:

It would all happen at a performance shop. I wouldn't just get a random person to do it.



In other news, I get to ride in a GTR soon. :p

He is a little slow replying :facepalm: I PMed him a long time ago and wanted him to join my 370z Car Club in Chicago and he still hasn't attended anything :ugh2:
(nor joined)

On a side note, is 3000 a good deal?? how much are they from Z1?

Not a great deal since he took off the tpms, but not too bad. I'm just worried he put on some junk rubber valve stems on there... :ugh2:

Sad though cause I couldve bought it tonight even. But now I'm going to probably pass and get a more expensive wheel set like the ones I got my G35C on my Z. :p

Yah, definitely in the same league as ur 40th wheels as far as exclusivity. :tup:

Honestly speaking, I think the 40th wheels look better than the nismo wheels. :)

not sure about the weight though. if its over 25lbs i will search for another wheel i guess. stock sports were like 23-24lbs + 31lbs for tire = 55lbs max. i suppose running PSS at 26lbs each, i can still get away with the SSR's being 28lbs for about the same gross weight. just not a mod any more, just cosmetics. hummm... :confused:

my weds at 22-23lbs and 26lbs tires are about 49lbs max vs 55lbs stock. that's 6lbs lighter per corner. that i can obviously feel in braking. :p

Why do you want another set of wheels again? The Weds are :yum:

Hi mr.gale. its like Luna's shoes. I want to have at least 2 sets per car. :icon17: given my Z is only driven in the summer months, she gets 2 summer sets. If anything happens to one set, the other set kicks in while the first set gets repaired. No down time. :p

We will know tomorrow. All went well today -- even our lead developer who had to attend the session was in good form and sober. We normally don't let him interact with actual people, in person.

Kool Mr. Onzedge! I'm :excited: for you. Tell me this: do you get any perks if this deal goes through?

If you call keeping my job just to go through the endless torture some more on the next deal and the one after that a perk, then yes it comes with perks.

Actually, doing the grunt work on these kind of deals pays well when they land. They pay me OK without deals anyway, mainly due to my charming personality, rapier-like wit and overall pleasing disposition. I am a people-person beyond doubt, but you all have probably discerned thatby now.
