Nice!

That's a BIG boy toy for sure! Lol.

I was one of the rare Brits that owned a full size pickup for a year or two.

You call them Nissan Titan, we call then Nissan Navara. Mine was black with chrome bumpers and a lockable chequerplate lid on the bed at the back. It was quite economical given it was a 2.5L turbo diesel.

Loved that feeling of being up nice and high above the riff raff on the roads!

Love your toys and attention to detail. I'm very similar in what mods I like to do.

Make sure you keep enough money back for the RR-Racing remap and S/C kit! Lol.

Enjoy that beast of a truck! Looks very cool.

Thanks.

I'll get the tuning once it's available. I'll likely wait a bit for the S/C...while the extra power would be nice I think I'd rather put more money into track days and make the car better at the track, not just more powerful. (I can't believe I just said that)

Ran across your post in the "aggressive fitment" thread while looking for info. on 18" wheels. Looked up this thread as you were the only one in the thread w/18's... Imo the only choice for aggressive driving.

Thanks for sharing the details on your build, esp the weight reductions.

I have a 2011 diff., I/H/E & throttle controller on now and just installed the 7200 rpm reflash on my 2008. Have the USRS & Ohlins 16/12 coilovers ready to install after getting a few more bushings from Figs. More grip needed now for the increased power.

I forget if I posted in the thread, but I also have 18s. I also used Gym's thread as a reference point when choosing my wheel sizing. It's a great wheel size and gives you a lot of options with tires. Def. worth the downgrade in size as you gain much more functional performance.

FYI 18x9.5+40 on 265/35/18 (Michelin PSS) will fit stock suspension no problem, with no rubbing or fender mods required.

Thanks Kzlflash for the guidance. Going with the PSS as well w/ 45mm offset.
Waiting impatiently for the setup to arrive.

nice build thread. what is the paint code for the wheels. i might power coat my after market wheels.

The color is Galaxy Grey III. I just looked up the code online and it is listed as PMB-2862. I assume there is only one code for that color name, but I can't be entirely certain. The color shown for PMB-2862 looks correct. Also, I'm pretty sure this was the exact site I was looking at with the Powder Coating company when I selected the color. http://www.prismaticpowders.com/colo...LAXY-GREY-III/

My new battery arrived today. I'll install it tomorrow. Think I'll feel the 20+ lb weight loss? kidding.

Nice, where did you pickup the battery? Would like to read up on them..

Nice build!

I got it shipped through Autoanything.com for $206.99. I don't know if was a temporary offer or not but I ended up getting 10% off and free shipping.

I haven't been driving the ISF recently because the brake squeak from the front (semi-track) pads has been horrible. I will put them back on if I do another HPDE.

Fear not though...I'm all ready to start driving the car regularly again. I finally found the time to put my new front pads on. I went back to the Project Mu NS400s. They work very well for the street with minimal dust. I plan on doing some Autocross this year, and I imagine the NS400s should be fine for that. I also changed my oil. I'm so excited, by baby is all fresh and clean ready to be used and abused again during the fair weather months.

So I found out a while ago that Randy Pobst was the best man at my father's cousin's wedding in the 70s and they are still close friends to this day. I have always enjoyed watching Randy Pobst's vehicle reviews and insights and have wanted to meet him for a while now.

My cousin just found a pic from 1980 (dating myself a bit) of me and Randy Pobst...guess I have met him before...lol.

After the excitement of the meet at Lexus of Rockville, I decided to pull the trigger and ordered this last night. I'll try to find time to get to the drag strip to test the difference, but my free time is short this year.
