I chopped down a tree and put all the bigger branches in our third stall to burn in our pit later. can barely get in and out of juke LOL

My wife works 14 hour shifts 3 days a week, so it even makes it harder to get things done with a 10 year old at home.

I need to motivate myself to just get it done

i do want to get my head unit installed now that my buddy with the zr1 has the same head unit and he tells me it tells him his highest speed reached from trip, I think we will be having all sorts of fun with that hahahaha

Passport tells me how fast I'm going when it goes off. I hear it really makes your butthole pucker when you look up and it reads 117mph. Not that I would know but I heard that

I had to turn the one on my camp2 off (selected a difference gauge option), as I kept pushing it up and up....156

I promise this will be a thing for my buddy and i

You had any issues with the kit? Other than oil leaks, which are frustrating, the only other thing I've noticed is something is knocking against something else. I'm leaning toward the crossover pipe is rubbing the bottom of the tranny housing. Haven't had a chance to dig into it yet.

I also noticed this morning that my peak boost is slightly lower than previous (59kPa compared to 62kPa). Thinking that its either the WG spring are finally breaking in and since the EBC holds a percentage gate it's slightly lower. Or the extra heat is slightly effecting boost levels.

I had the one crack in the filter plate holder which has since been repaired. other then that no problems with kit. I do need to have some touch up done to my tune, i think he may have turned my fans off completely, Ive never had the car up over 225 degrees but even at that point , heat soak robs power.
as far as the rattles, I have the same one, actually made me think I had a rod knock in first few weeks of driving it, that and the clutch noise really made me accept noises as part of the deal. I still am paranoid and would love to find an expert tuner in our area just to tell me everything is good.
I can say I've tested this motor/kit pretty hard and she still purrs like a kitten.

Time for some nitto05rs

I've been building a list for my tuner. He'll be touching it up when I get my new exhaust. I'm leaving it for a few days so he should be able to touch areas he wasn't since I brought it to him warm.

I need to pull the trigger on rear chamber and toe bolts. I know I could get better traction if I dialed out negative chamber.

After a couple of weekends worth of work I finally got my stereo system installed.

Kenwood dxh891hd, hertz components up front, corner mount sub box with jl 10" sub and jl audio jl500/3

The Nissan base model speaker pods are/were on back order with no time frame for inventory, I ended up buying a scoche 6x9 adapter plate. It said it would fit a 6-1/2 but it doesn't. I was able to trim it and get it to work with the stock 6x9 pods. Only cost 12 bucks too from Crutchfield.

Also ran a back up camera.

Still need to fine tune amp and head unit, but am very happy with sound!

This also is by far the easiest car I have ever ran speaker wires in, from the ease of car coming apart to places to put the wire. kudos to Nissan for a well built, thought out car.

So I turned off the traction control for the first time since boosting the car. Second gear, lights up the tires as soon as boost kicks in, Third gear a little tire spin but not to bad.

would go through tires in a hurry if I leave it this way

you should always drive without traction control with a turbo. its the first thing I do when I start the car. I only leave it on in therain when I know I won't see boost
