Took the Z and Mrs.Force for a fall drive. Ate at a small fish and chips place that had great Halibut.
First thing first. VDC, off. IMG_2006 by J M Gale, on Flickr We found a cool restaurant in the middle of nowhere, too bad we found it after the Fish and Chips place. The smokers smelled awesome! Its on our to-do list next year IMG_2019 by J M Gale, on Flickr Here's some of the scenery we got to enjoy today, IMG_2010 by J M Gale, on Flickr At the end of the day we stopped to grab a coffee and found this tool, IMG_2020 by J M Gale, on Flickr It wouldn't be right to end this post like that, so here are a couple pictures we took while cruising about today, IMG_7084 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_7110 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_7094 by J M Gale, on Flickr IMG_7097 by J M Gale, on Flickr

Pics of oil test failure: New short block put back toether, waiting to go in: Pics of what it looks like in the old cylinders. Oil rings go bad and get blowby on hard downshifts: In the box to be sent off to nissan north america for inspection of failure. Read on here recently about how the driveshaft is carbon fiber. Needless to say it catches you off guard on how light it is when you pick it up. Service manger said to be sure not to drop it hard, a single chip and the driveshaft has to be replaced. Pic of almost finished wheel. Scoped up a set of 235/35r19 and 295/30r19 V12's for $200 with only 1k in miles on them that came off a R8. Then before I left I had to check out the GTR they just got in. Service manager mentioned it was the only 2013 Black edition that is done this amazing white pearl. Not even preordered. Sitting there in the sun outside waiting for a buyer. One dealer came walking out on the phone talking to someone about it and describing it to them. Sounded like an interested customer.

Yeah I was in dire need of new tires. The day prior to taking the car down to the dealership I got a cut in the shoulder. Used 2 plugs and limped it down to the dealership. would go flat in like 30 mins. Jumped on craigs at 9:45pm. Guy had posted only 45 mins prior. Freaked out and ran upstairs to grab the cell phone. Called him and appologized for a late call but wanted to make sure no one else got them. Went and picked them up the next day. Brought them home and then ran to the dealership to get the tires and wheels. Stripped the tires and then dropped off to the powdercoater for a rush 2 day job.
$200 for just slightly smaller front tires and the exact size I wanted for the rear, I couldnt pass it up. |
