Only because he got impatient! He had his Z while I still had a really used G35.

My drivers side tip sticks out a bit more than the passenger side as well. If I fix it soon I will let you know what I did.

Do you mean the cat cross brace?

Yes.

It may just be the raspiness that happens at start up, as I don't nearly notice it once it's all warmed up.

I need to double check all of the fasteners anyways.

Well I just ordered a new set of tires from Tire Rack. Sadly they didnt have the rears in stock in the Michelin PSS. And I can't wait the 6-8 weeks for them to come in.

1. My current rears are bald.
2. I need new tires before ZdayZ and that would be pushing it even if I could wait.

So I opted to pass on the Hankooks. I have had the Continental DW which is on the car now and overall a good tire but I wore them off quick with a suspension problem I am working out now before the new set goes on. After researching I settled on the BFG Sport Comp 2's. Hopefully these will prove to be a good tire alternative with the redesign. I won't notice too much of difference over the OEM Bridgestones and will actually be an improvement in most areas. Definately no where near as good as the PSS though, but also doesn't have the hefty price tag. I plan on doing a full reveiw by the end of May after having some time with them and seeing how they perform on the Dragon.

Did a quick detail over the weekend. It's just so hard to find any time to do a full 3 step....one of these days I'll get around to it but in the meantime, I'm pleased with the results. Nissan paint is well.....Nissan paint. The Z does have the best paint of the 3 I've had so that's a plus at least.

Bluebatmobile tint installed on front and rear lights. The front looks a little dingy to me so I think I'll be removing it as I liked the stark contrast better on the headlights. But I love the taillights and couldn't imagine not having them tinted or smoked.

Can't tell the headlights are that dingy from the pic, but they are in person.

Ordered myself a Quaife LSD today. Probably put an order for the 4.08 gears at the end of the week also. Figured I'd do a little more work since i have 3 months till the AutoX season starts up again
