Just struck out renting a spring compressor from both of the autozones in my city. Onwards to O'reilly and Napa!!!

I was supposed to pick up my car from the body shop today. Just got called and it still hasn't gone in for paint yet.

Pretty sure I watched every possibly spring removal/installation and how to use a spring compressor available on youtube. Still nervous hahaha

Finally had time because of a company restructuring (2nd time - sucks) to put in my upper rear brace, front brace is coming tomorrow. Have $160 invested in the braces, the foam piece cost the most at $110. Still looking for the elusive rear lower brace, but the 15+ Nismo's only come with the 2 braces I'm installing. Figure I'm doing pretty good as the Nismo bracing kit is touching a grand new. In case you have never seen what I am referring to, here are pictures.

With foam insert installed, it's raining so will have to wait to button everything up.

Just placed my pre-order for RJM Performance's upcoming heavy duty master cylinder. Decided to upgrade my rev2.1 clutch pedal to his latest rev3.1 as well :driving:

It'll be fun.

Leon, really it's not a big deal. Take your time as you do it, it will all turn out well. :tup:

I know. I just have to many "what if" concerns running threough my head constantly. Only thing I'm really worried about (besides compressing springs) is situating the top hats properly. I guess the springs can shift or something off the base at a 60 degree angle??? Idk what I'm talking about.

They only shift if you don't line up the hats properly. There is usually a notch or indentation in the hat where the top end of the spring is supposed to sit and IIRC, there is also a notch or indentation for the bottom too. Set the bottom part so the end of the spring engages the notch, set the top, compress the control arm to secure it all in place before releasing the compressor. Easy stuff. :tup:

you'll definitely mess up and your car will look like this

I love the fact that my 2 auto zones were sold out of rentable spring compressors. Napa wouldn't rent tools out since they're tiny. Advanced auto would only sell me the compressor and O'reillys was closed.

I really need to move to a better city....

STM exhaust might go on Saturday also!!! Much hype! Such Loud!

What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)
 

Don't know how you guys feel about edited photos. All my friends loved it lol but I filled her up at around 5am and decided to drive to work instead of metro. Sometimes you just gotta enjoy a cool cruise with your car, even if it means waking up early.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a5f819c51e.jpg
