You bastard! LOVE IT!:fullofwin:
Don't forget to unplug your battery when you install it haha.
Also, where did you get your helmet from? I need one.

Energy 06-14-2014 09:49 PM

Haha I won't forget to unplug the battery.

The helmet is from Driver's Edge. They're a local company and the guy helped me with the fit and everything. Definitely recommend them.

Check them out at Driver's Edge Autosport - the store for Drivers.

Cool, I figured it was there. Picked my brake pads and fluid from there. I'll have to go blow some cash there soon. I've been spending ALL of my expendable income on car related things and activities it seems lately.

Rubber, Poly, stainless braids, steering components, brake parts, and decided to try STAGG struts since they are most likely temporary. Seem to have good reviews on BMW and Mustang forums so i thought i'd try them out for the Datsun fans… Oh and a bad ass tie dye VW shirt. Top it off with a box/receipt which reeked of marijuana. Ditched the box, but the receipt and each individual box around the parts reeked too. Apparently it was pretty strong because we got the full search at the border haha. "We pulled you in because we suspected narcotics in your vehicle." Haha Oh dear.

The Datsun specialty store, who will remain unnamed will be getting an email shortly to make them aware of the situation. Haha. All worked out ok, and the GF made it to her shift within second to spare.

^ Speaking of which, I have a bunch of new gaskets, filters, etc. from my days of Z ownership. If you're interested I can dig it all out for you, no point in me having them when you can put it to actual use.

Noran 06-19-2014 11:10 AM

Loong, where did you order those rotors from? Looking for a set for my DC5.

HondaGuy 06-19-2014 11:48 AM

got centercaps for my rpf1s, not sure to keep or not

IMASA 06-19-2014 01:14 PM

Tirerack and some amazon.com vendors offer free shipping on rotors to the states. Rockauto makes you pay.

EDIT: Tirerack is free > $50, which is pretty good as most places is free > $150.

trollguy 06-19-2014 01:24 PM

i checked amazon but still had to pay shipping so i just went with rockauto (shipped to the states). never thought to check tirerack- def will keep that in mind next time! cheers!
