Hey all, I joined a little while ago but I'm just now taking some time to post in here. I'm a Nissan Master Tech in South Central Ky. Been with Nissan just a a little over a year now. The dealer got my car at an auction in Missouri. It's an 11 Base 6MT in Monterey Blue. Had 8300miles on the dial and I got it certified as well. I got the car for a steal, nearly 6k less than retail. They sat on the car for 190days and had to move it. I made a reasonable offer and they took it. I've loved every minute I've owned it. I purchased a second hand stock Nismo exhaust, I wanted the H-pipe. Installed an AFE Takeda Stage 2 Attack CAI as well. I have a few complaints like anyone else. First and foremost, why produce a sports car with an open diff. Then offer an LSD that is just not up to the expectations or performance the rest of the car. I would have like to have seen a 1.5 clutch lsd, similar to a Nismo GT or a Giken. We have them, we've used them in older cars. It just seemed like too many accountants had their hands in the design process. If I can help anyone out by all means let me know.
