Wow. That is the very first time I heard that. Cool beans.

I didnt know myself till I was sent the wrong brake pads last year. Made me look into it, and discovered that they're different.

Yeah, they get the same brakes as the early 2007 - 2008 G35 sport package brakes. I actually sold my OEM brakes for $500 to another forum member here since they were an upgrade to his OEM Journey brakes.

I got some K&N drop ins! They're great. Butt dyno is happy. Throttle response is for sure better.

Paired with HPS silicone intake tubes and a full straight pipe exhaust the car drives and sounds incredible. Now I need a tune(uprev?) and then I can focus on looks(drop, wheels, blackout etc.)

edit: Also got an air freshener.

The other day I bought an 18" Rim Brim through Amazon, for my wife's car and my winter duckfeet.

If you like to use foam tire clean/shine product, then this is a must have. Personally, I like Mequiar's Hot Shine:

Good job. And I don't blame you for thinking that's all it is.

The rim brim has a lip on the edge which literally hugs the rim perfectly. And there are two tabs on that lip which let you hang it right on the wheel, without even having to hold on to it.

So yeah, same concept, but one does it better.

I think next year I'll buy another one, in 19" diameter, to fit the summer wheels.

Also tried out the cheapo Amazon foam cannon.

RJM clutch pedal = installed

Drove around my neighborhood doing a lot of stopping and starting and 1-2 shifts. Pedal feels a little stiffer/heavier, but is significantly easier to modulate.

I left everything at the preset settings.

I'll have more feedback after my commute tomorrow

You must of been bored and wanted to buy something, just use a foam applicator and you can control from anything getting on the wheels.

Interesting that you say it feels heavier, I ended up leaving my settings stock, fooled around a bit here and there to see if I liked it better but I personally ended up putting it back to the stock settings give or take. That 1-2,2-3 transition is a beautiful thing now.

^ +1....Scary stuff. Ever since Aurora, I always find myself scoping places and people out..Know where your exits are y'all.

Got around to changing the differential fluids and t-case fluid. Very easy and a noticeable change in the roughness and harshness when sudden gear changes happen (aka: smashing the pedal). Did an oil change and wax as well; with an interior detail.

Vinyl wrapped the chrome fin. Love it. NISMO RSB also came in and will be installed as soon as my ramps comes in.

Amber fog layovers will have to wait and I made a change to yellow :/.

Company sent me vinyl that is definitely not transparent although it appears that way in the ad. Sending me yellow replacement instead.
