Cool, let us know! That sounds like a great price too.

I got my first Oil Analysis back (took me a while to get it to the post office, I'm lazy):

Copied from the pic comments in the Album:

I never sent my factory fill. This report is for the second batch of oil in the engine. I changed the factory fill for Nissan Ester 5W-30 at ~1,800 miles, and ran that until 4,038, which is when I switched to Motul. This report is from that first and only Nissan Ester that I put in the engine myself.

Edit: pic fixed

Installed the breaker this evening. The car started fine without tripping it. Then again, it's a hot summer-ish evening and the car had only been off for 5 hours. Might be different on an ice cold morning in the dead of winter with a car that hasn't been run in 2 days. We'll see when I get there in the winter

I also went ahead and prewired a little harness for my trickle charger in case I need/decide to use it. The breaker is mounted to the top of the battery box with superglue (I know, how ghetto of me).

But anyways, yes, the Lightning Audio LCB-200 seems to do the trick, providing short-circuit protection as well as a convenient way to kill the battery power when working on the car.

Re: everything else (the brakes and swaybar stuff waiting in the garage), it's going to have to wait a week and a half or so. I'm flying out Sunday for a week and leaving the Z behind

, and this weekend and the next are pretty much filled with non-car-related obligations and entertainment of various sorts.
