I love doing diy stuff around the house, but the soreness afterwards reminds me that I'm not a young snapper any more. Back in the day I wouldn't even be sore! Lol

Just called and made the change on my insurance for the NISMO, and called to schedule a service appointment.

I drove the car to work today... 200 miles and it still feels like the tires are a little flat-spotted. They are better but there is still a little shake at 70 - 75 mph.

Was anybody else's Z out of alignment on delivery? I think it's toed out a little.

I could maybe "wait and see" a few more miles on the tires if they wanted me to but this steering is pretty twitchy/nervous. It gets light like a Cadillac and you're chasing it all over the road like it's got a bad tie rod. I've driven a car with 0 toe before (and a few Z's) and this is much worse than I remember.

Got a service appt. for Saturday, hopefully they'll get me all fixed up. It's still break-in miles now anyway so it's not like I'm missing much.

which tire did your nismo come with, the Advans or the new S001?
the advans with the nismo wheels have some tramlining on grooved roads.
ive not driven the S001's.

your flat spot...hummmm... was your tire psi low while at the dealer?
regardless, you shouldn't get ANY vibrations at speed. if it was low
maybe your dealer can give you a deal on new tires.
