If you guys think it's doable between the 3 of us, i'm game. Cash? Beer? Taco Bell?

Yeah that was my only concern also... But renting that tool and having my son use it seems like the most logical thing to me... Doh!

Beer/tb/za... It's all good!

Step 1: Rent tools
Step 2: Done

I agree on the spring compressor and my son has the impact tools... air compressor would be the issue tho

I forgot about pizza!!! Although, some Dinosaur BBQ would be good also...

I have a torque wrench! Doesn't help the air compressor, but still! haha. Btw, how bad was your exhaust install? Did the rubber hook bolt things give you any trouble? I need to drive out to Buffalo to pick my set up. Freaking killing me.

They make it look so easy.... Only took me 2 hrs to replace my clutch helper spring. Marred the sliding bolt thing because it was basically super glued into the 3 slotted holes. An hr of sanding and it finally slid back in.

Wheels, I am free next weekend if you'd really be game to help me out. I doubt we can cause to much damage. hahahaha

Oh yeah! Dino is da sh!t

Exhaust was super easy... Worst was the rubber hangers but my son's got a trick with a pry bar and he gets em right out. I also only did axle back so it was really only 4 nuts.

Get it straight.

DeliriousClam · 05-06-2016, 06:01 PM

Saw it sitting in the body shop lot because it takes 6 days to refinish a Nismo wing. I guess I can't complain too much considering how much they're charging me for COMPLETELY refinishing it (entire coat of bondo, sand, primer, custom paint to match given sun exposure, and clear-coat)

jchammond · 05-07-2016, 05:46 PM

Put my Tread on today & retorqued all bolts underneath...got rear camber around -1.0* gonna get it on the rack this week & have it ck'd.
Toe eccentric bolts wouldn't allow me go anymore.
Rides & handles Great!

Never thought it could get hectic finding 245/45 & 275/40ZR18's.

How are you liking the tires so far?

jchammond · 05-08-2016, 08:35 AM

Tire's are doing well P's Z, haven't logged many miles on them/but traction is much better than worn out GY's

jchammond · 05-08-2016, 10:35 AM

Anybody had this happen; this is R/R tire w/40 psi air,,,did one 15mph roll start & it hooked up....notice valve stem dot.

Did my Gen 3 intakes today, man you guys weren't kidding with the tight fit. And then took it for a wash and ended up towel drying it with a towel that had polish on it LOL

barncobob · 05-08-2016, 12:18 PM

not sure whats going on there but looks like new tire, first few hundred miles no hard starts, tires need to get settled and move about and get that mounting fluid/lube dissipated.
