Finally had a semi nice day with no rain. Washed my lady and hit her with some Meguiar's black detailer.

Installed new exhaust, no name brand CNT. Great clearance, well put together and much quieter than my old CF cans.. No more scraping

at a good price..

That's a good looking lower tie bar.

Got home, removed my cover and cleaned my windows and realized my tires were all at 31psi so I took a little drive to the gas station and filled them back to 35psi

I had a few spirited accelerations, felt good to open her up after not driving her since Monday

This morning I took my console apart again to replace the small rubber boot in my shifter assembly. When I originally installed my shift knob, I think the boot got rotated somehow. When I installed my short shifter last week, the boot was tore up pretty good after over a year of driving. So I ordered a replacement one ($15) last week, picked it up Thursday, and just finished installing it

I cleaned my Gen III air filters for the first time in 5 months and not as bad as my altimas in 3 months. I also removed my cubby door in preps for a new CF job.

Went and got baseline dyno done. Will post screenshot of the graphs in a bit but on a Dynojet, no mods on my Nismo, 4 pulls, no tuning: 303 hp, 269 tq

Was plesantly surprised, really only anticipated 285-290.

303/269 good or was I unfairly pessimistic?

I think those are fairly normal numbers for DynoJet. The 280's are typical of the Mustang Dyno.

Got the brakes and clutch bled today. The fluid that came out of the clutch was black... guess it's boiled a few times....

Someone should come clean my Z for me, I hate cleaning. Rofl.

This is a crappy picture of the printoff but will get better posted when they send over the file. They were closing up shortly after I left so they are probably sending over Monday.

As promised, better resolution pic of my baseline dyno. 2012 Nismo, 93 octane, was about 75-78 degrees outside and sunny.

It still seems high to me (shocked/surprised more than anything) but I have no reason to believe the shop would try to pump up my numbers on a baseline pull, if anything I'd think they'd try to dial them down so that they could try to sell me Thing 1 to replace Thing 2.

When he did the first pull that produced 297hp he came up front to ask if I had mod'd it any (it's a base Nismo) he got this surprised look on his face.

I'm just happy I got such a nice platform to build on.

I was driving on the Mass pike today doing about 85..okay the speed limit is 65..slight mistake on my part..

Suddenly i heard a strange noise in the car..one I was not familiar with,,My wife asked, "What is that?" and I looked at the detector and it read "LASER"

I remembered what someone told me a few months back,,they have to take two readings before they can nail you.. I hit the breaks and dropped to 60 as the detector stopped for a second and then started up again....Two hits.. But i was going 60 for the second attack..

Saw the bogie hidden ahead on the right and behind some bushes...he did not chase me..

I am one happy and lucky bastard! He would have nailed me and my wife would have joined in my de-nuttification.
