Have a save return trip home!

Thanks for all the compliments, guys. I am bringing the titanium shift knob home from Japan to put on. From the pics posted from others, sounds like that will be a pain. I am looking to order the Eibach springs, 15mm spacers, and camber adjustment arms right now so I will have a project waiting for me.

Already set up a 3m tint appt in Charleston, and having the 3m bra put on, too.

Thanks man,

Yeah, I am pretty happy with the deal. We are looking for a 2010 Armada for wife, and will probably purchase through Military Auto Source. The catch is you have to be deployed when you order it.

Congratulations!
Great price too – I paid above$38K for mine.

It's not ZELE one, is it?

If you did, then I will be VERY jealous! After hours of hard decision, I decided to do the NAV first. I love this titanium shift knob. Looks amazing too!

My ultimate setup would be THIS shift knob along with B & M short shifter

Who's doing the 3M bra Brian? I had to go to Charlotte and have my Charleston bra removed, and a new one installed. Wasn't happy with the job the local guy did at all. Guys in Charlotte did fantastic work. Pm me if you'd like.

AK, no, I went with the one the JDM shift knob they use in their GTR Skyline. It is raw titanium with a star bolt that screws down in through the top. Also threads on to the base. It's shorter and a bit wider than the other Nismo shift knobs I think.

John, I actually am way ahead of ya. I called them based on your high praise write up and got a quote for 3M tint and Bra. After the quote, I told him I will be interested in the tint, but am going to try to do the bra with a friend (already bought the kit). If that ends in an epic failure, I will also do that through him.

Best of luck, if you end up letting them do any work for you, I am sure it will be first class. Hope your clear bra application works out well for you!

ClearBra is a must. Put mine on myself before driving to North Carolina and back... would have hit a lot of debris.

The break-in period is a PITA. I couldn't keep under 4k rpm.

The blind spot is no joke. I am not even sure why there is a window aft of the b-pillar!

I have yet to scrape anything on the front end... even with the chin spoiler.

27% Tint is not nearly as dark as I thought it would be.

The car is much wider and sexier looking from the back than pictures can express.

I am 100% confident the shift knob can be removed without damage. I heated mine up with a hair drier for only about 30 seconds, but still caused some damage because I used a channel lock. (expecting to ruin it from what I've read). Turns out, the thing rotated with very little effort... Probably could have done it by hand? (I have strong forearms

)

15mm wheel spacers are definitely enough for me. Lines up perfectly I think, even has a little lip of rubber hiding over the edge.

The Eibach springs... wow. looked at the front and couldn't even compress the spring. Can I just take these springs to a shop and have them installed? Pep Boys? I dunno...

So you got your z for around 39,000 after taxes and titles right?

6MT · 07-31-2009, 10:00 AM

Congrats!! (Same as mine except for the Nav)

k20z3 · 08-01-2009, 02:52 AM

Be sure to read my thread and give reps for keeping the clear bra clean!

No man, no tax for military in south carolina. Did have to pay registration fee though.
