As for what I did with my Z today, I called up GoodYear at 4pm to see if they could fit me in for a mount and balance. I knew they were going to say no, but... They said yes! So I loaded up my two front tires and dropped them off there, then went down the street to my work and picked up the two rear tires that came in today, came back and they got started on the install. An hour later, they were done and I was on my way home. A bit shocked at the price though... $185! But that's alright.

the going rate here for mount balance is $25-30 bucks, U gotta ask these questions beforehand

Let's see...

$23.00 x 4 mount & balance "parts"
$5.95 x 4 mount & balance labor
$1.00 x 4 Florida Tire Tax - WTF?!
$4.95 x 4 TPMS sensor service kit
$3.00 x 4 TPMS labor
$3.00 x 4 tire disposal fee

Shop Fees - $9.26
Tax - $12.10

I'm surprised they didn't charge me for the air I was breathing! :icon14:

Csc failed last night so towed her to a shop today to get a Z1 CSC eliminator and new clutch installed. Comp stage 4 clutch, I think I am going to do a review on it since I haven't seen one reviewed yet.

LOL!

Well, I see it this way... With the typical cost of used Nismo wheels alone ($1800), and what I got them for, I still came out way ahead, even with the cost of new (much bigger and better) tires than stock and the crazy high Good Year bill.

Can't agree more. Having moving out on my own and starting college in another state and then just having my car stop working and have it sit in a shop(it being my daily), is a struggle.

Yeah. The car I sold to get the Z was on its third CSC. I was like damn it, I'm not jumping out of the pan and into the fire.
