Congrat's on the fast shipping arrival. Perhaps we'll be seeing the addition of new wheels and a lowered stance in about 5 days and a wakeup!

On the next episode of Hoarders...
Can't wait to get these parts on! Was going to go to get my coilovers and SPL front/rear control arms installed this weekend, but I'm still waiting on the 4th NISMO wheel to come in the mail. I'll be going to Cars & Coffee in Wilmington, NC in like 6 hours instead.

On that note, coilovers, SPL kit and wheels/tires should be on by next Saturday. Super excited.

LOL That's awesome. Usually, parts collection is something I do over the winter.

You know, there was so much anticipation written over the months about your FI exhaust... I was expecting more commentary from you after the install.

I have barely driven the car these past few days, hence the lack of review.

Welp, my slave cylinder finally went out today... I was 100% expecting this to happen, just not while I was driving. Scary experience. Infiniti Roadside Assistance paid to have the car towed 130 miles to the nearest Infiniti dealer too. Had to miss out on Cars and Coffee because of it.

Damn, another one bites the dust Glad you weren't in a hazardous situation (or at least it sounds like you were able to avoid one). Hopefully you'll be good to go once you get it changed out, and all your other parts are itching to be installed

Sorry to hear Z, but happy to hear IRA came through to transport you to a safe place. Good luck on a fast fix!

Some sound clips of the exhaust... Revving and a cold start, I think it sounds awesome. Gonna be adding Fast Intentions non-resonated High Flow Cat to open things up even more.

Looks like the perfect location to rev the engine just to appreciate it. Very nice, Z.

It's just a parking garage, I was on base so I can't attract too much attention. Higher ups get butthurt

I'll be sure to get some outside in the open and a fly-by clip with and without the HFC.

Why were you 100% sure it was going to go out? Were you experiencing any issues with it?

Picked up the car from Crossroads INFINITI of Raleigh today, they replaced the CSC under warranty. The lady at the service desk tried telling me that Nissan uses a new, upgraded CSC. I just ignored it. But all in all, I can't complain. They didn't even mention my RJM Clutch Pedal. The tech even had to adjust it to properly bleed the clutch.

Drove 130 miles from Raleigh, NC to Jacksonville, NC today and everything felt great. I will definitely be upgrading my clutch, flywheel, and doing the Z Speed CSC delete later this year though.

Forged NISMO Rays are finally on the car with the Continental ExtremeContact Sports! These tires feel great so far, and the wheels look immaculate. Can't wait to finally lower the car this Saturday to finish everything off.

Awesome Zahy, those look great on that color G, and when lowered should be the perfect fit.
Please post a review on the Conti tires, you're one of the first on site to get them and would be nice to have some feedback. From all I've read they are right there w/ the new Michelin Pilots. I just picked up a couple 285 conti extreme contact DW for the rear on mine and looking forward to putting them to work!
