Definitely in that order.

What I did WITH my Z today was drive around for an hour trying to find a decent place to take some good pics without people or other cars around, but never found a spot.

What I just did FOR my Z is order a pair of OEM "Z" side markers (repeaters), four 20mm Z1 wheel spacers, and a GT-R start button.

Tested the new LSD on a highway off-ramp that has a huge transition from cambered to off-cambered. Pitched out a bit and just corrected with a little steering input, no need to let off the gas any more.

Got the coilovers, links and a arms on. Definitely needs an alignment, and take some negative camber out front and rear. I'll get it as close as can before I bring it in. The rears could stand to go down about 1/4" more but am tempted to drive on it a bit first and see it there is any settling. And how much difference proper camber makes with my gaps.

Can't go any lower that's for sure. Barely make it up the back ally into my garage!

Glad to get this far at least. Big improvement now between the tires and suspension.



While I was at it I put a jumper from the DRL to the parking lights so the DRLs stay on with the headlights. That always bugged me.

This will be my first post on this forum but I have been lurking around for a while now and decided it's time for an account lol.

I ended up doing my oil change today and still waiting on my GTHaus axle back exhaust to be delivered. I probably should clean it too...

Nice! My place in Edmonton has such a high driveway "curb" that even stock I have a park on the street!

In other words, jealous.

Nice! First oil change? That first one is sort of a special moment (or perhaps I have no life ....).

A comment equally at home on a kink forum as on a car forum.

Welcome aboard!

Even at stock height I have to go in the ally from the far side, and unfortunately it is gravel so it gets dirty/dusty every single time even idling the whole way. Still better than parking on the street though.

Tried getting an alignment today but no dice. So it's a garage queen until Tuesday morning

Guess I'll tear into the interior, make a box for my subs and throw the rear speakers in while its out of commission.
