Ken-San, are you getting techy-geek? It sure sounds like it!

We just returned from our Lake Tahoe drive. I am an idiot. Duh-- it's summer. Duh, there are a jillion people doing the same thing and there is no parking anywhere...

Oh well -- we were against traffic the whole time and got a nice drive in -- just no photos. 248 break-in miles added...

Well those are some widely varying genres

If you are in the mood for action, I say Pacific Rim (I haven't seen it but heard good things from friends who have). If in the mood for animated fun, I say Despicable Me 2 over Monsters U. Again, I haven't seen either

I think this is a good move on your part. In the long run, the savings are insignificant.

Well, my DIY thoughts were I'll just do it with the nice quality hoses and fittings and try out the Tru-Cool core first. Worst case, I have to also buy a Setrab core, and I'm only out an extra $65 by trying the inexpensive option first. However, LMB's and your comments regarding the known quantity of the kit just make too much sense when I factor in my time constraints for the install. As a DD, I don't have the luxury of taking it apart and letting it sit for days on end while I try to figure out some piece of the install puzzle. I rarely get more than a day or two of downtime - the most I've ever had was the time my front bumper sat on the couch for a week while driving my wife's car around since she was out of town.

I hope I can do it in less than 2 hours, but it doesn't matter either way. IIRC, the Nismo requires a few more installation steps than a base Z due to a Nismo Chassis Dampener. I changed my oil ~1000 miles ago (right after the Nismo Performance Academy), but I will take this opportunity to switch to Mobil 1 0W-40 (from the 5W-30). Also, I am going to start getting the larger oil filter (probably Purolator).
