Why's that? Cops? Are you smuggling? Suspended License? Ex-wife in the passenger seat? Radio broken and stuck on a hip hop station?

No, 1200 uncomfortable miles in the Z is a little more than Id like to deal with. Me and the GF are gonna do about 900 tomorrow and spend the night in St Augustine. Then finish up the remaining 3-400 Fri morning.

That is a long-haul. On drives like that, my aged butt can do about 150 miles at a time.

Its gonna be pretty brutal. Esp cause I have to do all the driving. Rule #1 don't let girlfriend drive the Z:icon17:

Oh, and Im only driving because I HATE airplanes!

That's a good rule. I offered my wife the driving experience in one of my Z's and she said no thanks -- there, I offered and do not have to do it again.

Heck no! Just use a trim removal tool, you know those plastic ones. I did it in a hot car, came right out. Just be gentle with the tool, don't use a screwdriver you might mar the softy dash material.

^ I used a screwdriver on mine and I used a soft towel to place behind the screwdriver to avoid damaging the dash. Worked really well. Just be careful. But do this only if you don't have a trim removal tool.

I watched a golf ball sized chunk of dirt/rock fall off a truck in front of me and one lane over and followed its entire flight path. It hit my hood and windshield in quick succession, scratching both :mad:

I feel your pain...

Worst part was it seemingly happened in slow motion. Now it's just another spot on the hood to avoid looking at :icon17:

:icon14:

well instead of f-ing up the nice dash material, I totally gouged the silver ring around the button. kinda bad. Now i'm perusing many different Nissan oem parts sites and praying that i don't have to buy that whole dash upper assembly to replace it. I am an idiot.

Got the windows tinted and washed her!!!

Installed 18" resonators. Its so quite now :( :facepalm: :( !!

But on the plus side it sounds better! When the pipe was really cold above 4k there was a little rasp. Also down shifting and stuff there was a gargle and now there is neither. I was going to wait to install them but I know test pipes would have only made it worse so now when I get test pipes ill be able to see if I need two more resonators installed in the TS.
