I use the Ate blue in brakes and clutch -- it is great stuff.

It also matches your paint job!!!

Drove the car hard today. Scraping all over the place.....more than usual. Sounds like she's asking to replace her shocks or something.

I stared at my car today and shed a tear or two, About an hour ago I walked out of my bank to go to lunch and what do i see sticking out like a sore thumb..the Dreaded Pollen droppings on my PW paint needless to say I ran back into my job and grabbed things to clean it quickly and i cleaned off all except one which has left the pollen stain on the paint (not too big probably the size of a pencil eraser circumfrance wise but big enough to make my slight OCD tendecies go bizerk) all i can think about is cleaning it and getting rid of the stain later, hopefully customers accounts dont pay the price of my distraction ...but on that note t.g.i.f

What a week of BS. Ordered three more car parts for my TT kit and every order had half the parts. Geez! One of them had me about to fly out to TX and stick a cactus up his a$$. This hobby can be crazy.

Dropped her off at Nissan to get the headliner replaced. The one from the factory was cut too short, so now it is pulling away on the driver side.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367612017.177279.jpg

For a loaner car, they gave me this beauty!

This thing is as smooth as an Amazonian woman's legs!

Then to add insult to injury, I get to see this while I am driving that home....

Getting my windshield replaced as we speak since the chip repair seems to have failed. Thanks to whoever shot my window with a BB gun while I was away on travel a few weeks back. >\ I have too many expletives I would like to share but I imagine we all know how to fill in the blanks. ______ ____________ _____ _____ ________: ____ ___!!!!!!!!

Got my donor diff fully torn apart to get ready for the 4.08 gear install with Quaife LSD. I plan on it taking atleast a full week for me to get it set completely correct. Also ordered a new set of Z1 test pipes as the Top Speed ones cracked. Probably from the terrible fitment and the stress my y-pipe was putting on it just to bolt up.

Mine is simply separating where it meets the windshield in separate locations. My fat a$$ fingers fit between the liner and the windshield without touching

Got my battery cable to relocate the battery to the trunk. Also test fitted my compressor and fabbed up a bracket to keep the SC from flexing under load..

It's really hard to take pics, especially with the angle of the sun at the moment (iPhone camera doesn't help). But here's one from the outside that shows the gap, and a picture of my view of it from the driver seat every time I get in the car
