Yea unfortunately I tore my meniscus in my right knee back in 08 and then my ACL in right knee in 2010 so this is not new to me. I would never wish thie ACL on my worst enemy, was seriously the worse thing I’ve ever had to go through physically.

Not so sure another M will pop up in the color combo with the features, miles, and price it had. But I’m still a believer in everything happens for a reason so....

Yea if they end up scoping my knee, 8-12 weeks is about the normal timetable for rehabbing and it doesn’t help that I’m not getting any younger. Funny because I was trying to make light of the situation in the car 2 days ago with the wife about having the X and it being auto I could still drive, and then there’s life quickly changing the tables and laughing at me.

 

I here ya.... I’ve torn both ACL’s. The right was a hockey injury, the left was getting hit by a drunk when I was 20... ACL, PCL, Meniscus, along wih a number of other things. Physio is a mental grind, keep focused on the light.

 

Well in an effort to get these caliper son before Tuesday, I went ahead and put o the stickers and ceramic coated them yesterday. now just need to have someone else install them since I have a bum knee.

Did snap a pic at the gas station last week

 

Nice black car

 

You know, shes just like a woman and hides her true colors when shes out at night! LOL


Heres a couple better pics in the sun

 

Man that sucks about the knee. But those calipers are sweet!!

 

Bummer about your knee bud. Hopfully, you make a quick recovery. Those calipers do look sweet though! Wow, they really change color a lot in the light. I wonder what color they would change to after a few track days.

 

Ok update time, I went to Zdayz for the first time and it was just simply amazing! Im not one to build or hype up anything but when you have hundreds of same minded enthusiasts with the same passion and love for the Nissan/Infiniti platform as well as cars in general its a magical thing! Got a chance to meet alot of people, make new friends, speak with vendors directly and on a personal level, I just cant stress enough of what I good time and atmosphere it was. For any of those who can make it next year, I cant recommend it enough.


Now a few things that happened PRIOR to me leaving for Zdays. I went to have my calipers installed and we ran into some issues of course. The person who coated them did not bother to tape off any of the mounting holes, we had to basically re-thread all of them, also had to sand down some of the paint to ensure an even contact of each side of the caliper would be there and also had to sand down the area where the lines go in to again ensure no leaks. This was mothers day weekend so we only had that Saturday and unfortunately did not get them done or on











I also did not have a chance to wet sand, buff/polish, clear my headlights before leaving due to my knee as well.

My guy that was supposed to ceramic coat my car also had things come up and is now moving out of state as of next week I believe. So as you can see I had quite the challenges beforehand.

With all of that said, we left for NC Tuesday morning around 1:30am with a caravan of 25+ cars. That was an awesome experience on the way up. I took a large amount of pictures and videos. I had my GoPro which lasted for the first 3 days and then my sim card got full on memory. I brought 2 more memory cards but like a dumbass forgot to bring the micro versions and therefore could not use my GoPro for the remainder of the trip. Im still HIGHLY p[issed at myself for that as I missed a ton of things


While I was up there, I got re-tuned with a street tune this time. Got some extra gurgles and pops off of it.

Couple other things, I entered the G37 Wild division in the car show and took home 1st place. I also entered the exhaust competition however I did not medal and really unsure how in the world it was judged? Not that I was expecting to win, but there really was no explanation on points or anything when they announced the winners. Out of the 30+ cars in the competition....me and my brother were the only sedans in the competition!


I have not had time to upload any videos from my GoPro yet nor anything to YouTube with the exception of 1 video thus far.


I uploaded this video this morning, however it would not upload in hi-def while using my works Wi-Fi so I will load it again when I get home.




I will save everyone and post pics in a new comment.

 

Your guy powdercoated the threads? Wow, that sucks. You think he would have put bolts in there, if only to hang the parts while spraying them. Last time you go there, I'm guessing.

Are you driving, with your knee all messed up?

 

**WARNING** IT IS ABOUT TO GET PICTURE HEAVY!!!!


Just a few for now, will try to get stuff on here as I can.






Hit 40k on the way home

This was probably my favorite build there. Full carbon fiber wide body with a stage 2 RJM whipple supercharger setup. Thing was unreal!

 

Ah, almost forgot....I also won a set of Fast Intentions lower down pipes for my RS!!!!

 

Absolutely last time I ever go there 100%! Sad because hes a good guy, but his work speaks for itself.

Yes Im driving and have been since the 10th. I did get my results on the 14th and have a torn ACL, torn Meniscus, 2 bone contusions, and nondisplaced fracture

I told the doc about my trip as we left on the 15th and he advised more movement was better so the long drive up and back home was very uncomfortable to say the least. I will need surgery and just not sure when yet it will happen. But driving the Dragon and Moonshine and everywhere else up there was no issues.

 

my favorite pic but you can barely make us out lol

 

lol thats ok, we know
