I'm debating on putting the inner fender fillers on. I replaced those ******** plastic "grills" with mesh and they blow straight through the inner fender opening..

Oh and **** anyone who says you need the Nismo license plate relocation kit. I re-used the one I had from my stock bumper

Was a couple days ago but finally swapped out the clutch assist spring for one recommended by a fellow member... wow what an improvement! So happy I did

Was it a simple swap or was there more work involved than expected?

Tried to install my berk HFCS. Removed everything except the drivers side top bolt that connects the header to the cat. Its stripped. Way to ruin my birthday lol.

Anyone recommend an exhaust shop around San Fernando or Simi valley besides specialty z or precision z? They're pretty damn booked for the next month or so.

I drove the new ride in a monsoon on the way home today. Previous owner never drove the car in the rain. She got broke in right. LOL I had a big time. The traction control light flickering at 78 mph in heavy rain will get your attention.

Not a problem, I have never had any nanny gadgets before. The car
wasn't even twitching in the rear when it kicked on.

I keep hearing about clutch helper springs.... Is there a thread somewhere that can fill me in on this?

Thanks to my very good friend, dragonbreath, we dropped my rear diff, swapped out the cover, put in some Redline, and installed Whiteline diff bushings.

On top of that, he tracked down a rattle that had been driving me crazy the past few months. Get this - my demon bolt had no nut on it, which I find ironic, since everyone seems to have trouble getting the damn thing off. Plus, there was a nut missing on the other HFC. No typical exhaust leak noise, so just kind of weird. It turned out that the bolts were too short to begin with.

Oh, and while my Z was up on jack stands, I noticed that I had a nail in my driver-side rear. Guess I will be putting my Discount Tire road warranty to use sooner than I had expected. Thankful I found this before driving to ZDayZ.

All in all, a great day spent away from work.

The tread is in the engine section. I removed mine over two year ago and never looked back.

there's a clip holding a pin in... get that off and then you can take out the springs. put back in housing. tada! there will be a bit of slack at the top though. i am hoping to get an RJM pedal this weekend maybe lol.
