That's what I did... One might say that I had the wrong tools for the job. I couldn't compress the new springs far enough to get them mounted onto the shocks. I ended up having to take them to a shop for that part.

Took me about 1hr 20min to remove the two springs from the shocks, no air tools.

:iagree:

oh i c... well, better safe than getting yourself hurt. that was a smart move.

Computed my MPG for the first time...20.1. AND passed 800 miles, so 400 to go!!

Just got home! Then saw this....Somebody left this in front of my door!
Is it Christmas already?!!!

Bought one too waiting for santa to drop it on my front door again!
Do you need to take down the front bumper to install this?

My paint guy installed it for me and he did not remove the front bumper, and it's a pretty good fit!

Did he use rivets or screws with double sided tapes?

screws with double sided tape.

TWM short throw w/ Gunmetal BTR knob installed!

I also adjusted my front sways and got the repair estimate on the damage from my accident last week.

:tup: biggie type R knob

ballcockshankwasher home depot mod next to finish off!

Drove it to lunch with an old co-worker and run through a few gears on the way home. Probably be the only time I drive it this weekend. Bad weather in the forecast.

:tiphat:

yah, my area's going to be seeing some crappy weather too this weekend, so i pulled my Z out this am as well. :tup:

I definitely need to look into that washer.

washed/detailed since the woman is not home. Had time to even shine up her cans.

Today I went to the stealershit ;) and order a car cover for the nismo.

Put on some CF B-Pillars today!

Started prepping my car for STU over the past couple months:

New rear subframe with Whiteline bushings.

Kinetix A-arms (modified for more negative camber)

And yesterday, I mounted new tires on new-to-me wheels: 275/35-18 Rivals and 18X10.5 +15 RPF1's

Custom valved/sleeved shocks + much stiffer springs, and HP is all that's left.

Well, I also need to remove my 10W6, custom MDF enclosure, and big JL amps.

I'm going to miss the heavy sub/enclosure, but I bet that and the amps total somewhere between 60-80 lbs.

this is the ballcockshank washer i mentioned. GL

I am going to rename you to: Helpy Helperton.

You are very helpful Mr. Kenchan. I salute you. :tiphat:

Off to a slot car race and I'm taking the Z.

:tup:

Picked up my car Thursday, decided to do a bit of re-detailing since the dealer didn't do a good job...

you didnt do a good job taking a pict... :ugh: to me your car looks up-side-down? :ugh2:

It looks funny to me.

Some people just don't understand how difficult it is to detail a car while standing on your head.

Taken in Australia?

Oh dear awkward.. uploaded from my phone so didn't realize the crop was bad! But really I was too excited and can't stop doing flips:rofl2:

Trans and Diff oil change featuring forum favorite: Redline.

So, does it feel any different? Talk about leaving us hanging....

I will answer for him.

It does.

:icon17: :tup:

I put the short-throw in on Friday. Everything feels different. Based on when I did it to my '09, not really, I couldn't tell a difference. I'm just glad to have some good, clean oil in there. I'll be at 30k in a few months, so it's just a couple extra things that I do not need to take care of.

Had a set of Michelin PSS mounted up and installed on the Z. I like 'em :)

where's your upsidedown pict? :confused: ;) :tup:
