It wasn't brown until I curbed it. I don't care about it much either.

Took the Nissan out through Cottonwood and Jerome which are small mining towns perched on the side of a mountain in AZ. You see lots of nice cars through there because of the twisties and is a fun drive with friends. A Foxbody and an SRT buddy were along for the ride. Crappy cellphone pic, sorry! My Nikon buddy will send me the ones he took at some point.

Let me know if you are up for it one of these days! Today I took the 17 north to the 260, through Cottonwood up to Jerome and down to Prescott. I like ending up in Prescott because there are a few awesome places to eat and a lot less traffic than Flag!

May have to join you guys one of these days too.

Gotta get some free time and extra money for road-trip gas though.

New friends helped me install 370z nismo exhaust and also tighten loose control arm nut from when dealer probably removed to replace engine and never tightened back all the way and didn't put in the cotter pins.


Pics of exhaust to come, forgot to take install pics.

So, no steering lock thread from you?

These are sad days indeed.

Hahaha! Nope not from me... Now I seriously doubt the robot from the future tried to stop me to pull the fuse today was sent by you just because you like to see those threads?

Yup. I saw too many those steering lock failure threads lately. Scary... So I finally did it today before it's too late. And I strongly suggest others to do this fix as soon as possible!

Finally pulled the trigger on my Quaife LSD. (And nismo diff cover... Why not)

Can't wait to se how we do in the snow. Stock VLSD is nearly worthless when it's slippery out.

Installed next week, stay tuned!
