Just got done changing out my winter tires. Purchased Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 and so far love the grip and how smooth of a ride it is.
Also since I had my wheels off, I decided to paint the 'nismo' on each wheel to make it a little different. I think the small detail adds a lot to the car.

I will post pic of whole car after I wash it.

I'm with Fren on this one. Looks good, nice job. Remember "Less is More!!"

Been enjoying the random backfires of my Z, twice tonight on the way home from work. One of which ended with a nice yellow flash that I saw in my mirror! Nice.

Tried twice today to remove the OEM shift knob, without destroying it. Holy fook! It is super tight and I was not able to remove it. So frustrating. Going to try a couple of other methods before I bring out the C-4.

I've heard one of these strap wrenches and a microfiber towel work well.

I tried that method, it did not work for me. I must be one of the lucky winners of the 'sh!t load of loctite' from Nissan awards.

I tried this. Twice. The wrench broke against the power of the shift knob. Twice.

Seriously I had no problem with mine either

I used an oil filter strap wrench with my large ratchet and a set of large vise grips to hold the shifter. Unscrewed pretty easily,

Thanks for asking and offering. I haven't attempted it yet as I am enjoying Easter Sunday with the family. I will try again real soon as the new TK Hebi Bebi arrives tomorrow.
