You should definitely push for this Hossam if you can.

The price to upgrade to the 14'' Akebono brakes w/ Stoptech rotors are pretty reasonable at least
That will be some nice upgrades 4sho! Man the MN G Crew will be reppin hard on the Dragon and in Flo

I actually just run the dealerships Synthetic blend. Some recommend to take in your own oil to the dealership because their oil is sh*tty, but I figure its what they run in all the GTR's (i get my oil changed at Kline Nissan).

Its a synthetic blend....its NOT synthetic. Oil changes are what...30 bucks? where if we got true synthetic they'd be upper 80-100 range.

2 things that stand out to me are....1, at the top of the peak, its literally STRAIGHT UP, and STRAIGHT down. half the riders are literally still on the way up when the tip is over!.....and 2, the only thing I don't think I'd like about this ride is the FIRST thing that happens after "the drop" is a quick sharp turn flipping clockwise. If you're dropping the "world record 43 meters @ 100mph", you would think they miiiight want to wait like 2 seconds before jerking you around into a flip? hmmm, just watchin it I felt like my neck broke..LOL! sick ride though, thanks for sharing this Trev!

Yea it cost me about $60 bucks to get the supplies, now I'm just debating if I wanna steal a lift and finish the job myself. $10 in labor to unscrew a few bolts and pour stuff in seems kinda steep hahaha

I did my first oil change on my G a couple of months ago. I have a thread in the MN section about it. I went with Mobil One since that is what I'm already using in my other cars. Heck, I've been using Mobil One since before most of you guys could drive. LOL

later,
Curt

that is weak! earlier this week we brought ryan's sedan in so they could reinstall a new navi and rudy happened to be there...we were talking about luther hiring a tech just for mods...also, he mentioned they were bringing a few of their cars to the C & C next month..but they didn't say dealership cars or their own. i mentioned it would be a good idea to advertise at the C & C..possibly mod a few of their cars up for show. don't know how far thats going to go, since they seem to be indecisive about everything else...

There's no way a dealership can actually modify their cars. The only thing they can really do is just bring dealership cars to the show.

We all know that there's not a SINGLE WORKER in that entire Infiniti dealership that actually OWNS and DRIVES an Infiniti. ...that's why they're always so freakin' clueless about them

true...even if they do manage to hire a tech for the position of tuning, modifying etc. i don't think they'll get the business for it...the population of infiniti drivers is growing in mn, but still not as high as bmw or audi i think. plus, not too many ppl here are fond of putting money into their cars like that.

i wish the staff would actually make an effort to learn about the cars...they're really great cars once you know a bit about them!
