Bought rjm clutch pedal! Lining up the install with a local shop. I feel confident with my abilities, but there's a point where I don't want to spend 4 hours messing with this when a shop can finish the job in under 2. Will keep this updated when it arrives!

Thanks man!
So when I installed my intakes, I noticed the factory vacuum lines really just didn't work even with the supplied extender. I was talking to a local guy, g35man04 actually, and he told me about Z1's vacuums line. Fits perfectly! please excuse the crappy pic.
Not Nissan related, but my mom has been wanting a Jeep Wrangler for quite sometime. We ended up going to a Jeep, Dodge Chrystler dealership today. When I found out a preowned Jeep was 41k, yes 41 thousand dollars I thought ok, we need to look else where and then maybe come back. Well we did not go back!
She got a steal on this car! attached is a video of exactly what sold her, she's always wanted to have a vehicle that can go off road, and get 30mpg.
She's so happy and deservers that car plus more!
Now I am no camera man, I alway end up taking my eyes off the screen to watch the event in real life hahaha, but here is the gist.
And here are the two cars together!
Will get more pics of the two together!

GTK it's the same for the Takeda, since upgrading from the R2C to the Takeda long-tube is on my list.
After a couple of months now, driving the car with the RJM is the new normal. So much easier to drive this car now. You're going to be very happy.

RexHavoc very kindly (!) gave me his old Z1 breather tubes after he installed an OCC. The fitment with these to the R2C Intake mid-pipe was much, much better than what I was using.

How's that progressing?

Shop is saying it'll at least be a 2 hour job. Really hoping its 2 1/2 max because $100/hour is not cool. Will keep updated after Thursday!
I think next mod will be gears, and then I'll slow down on the mods. Want to save up for another Nissan

Change of plans. I could not get a actual number from the shop that would do the install. $100 per hour and 2 hours "at least" really did not make me feel comfortable. I found a guy that has and will do the install for a flat $150.
As for the gf driving, she has driven a manual jeep once, then drove my old g35 once. She understands the process. Three reasons why she needs to learn. 1 As much as I'd like to live in la-la land where nothing bad ever happens, I'm a bit of a realist. If I get sick, injured, or not physically able to drive, she needs to know how to get me or us to safety. We are a social couple, if I happen to drink, she can get us home much cheaper than a cab or uber; provided she has not drank. One day when she can afford it she wants to by a Wrangler hahaha.

Funny, I used the Z1 hoses on my Takeda LT CAI and found the passenger side just a tad short. It fit with much effort but if it was just a bit longer I'd be happier. That OR I have my intake at an angle that makes it annoying

I had the same issue! I ended up rotating that pipe just a bit and force the hose on. Looks good, and fits ok, wish that one side had been longer.
