Last night I replaced the map, dome, courtesy door lights and license plate lights with bright white plug and play LED's. It really freshens things up. Only thing left now are the foot well lights and the ignition ring.

I need to change my water pump since the bearings are starting to squeal. Sucks because the water pump isnt actually leaking. Also i have to figure out if its a 10 bolt or 11 bolt so i could just buy the front part.

Picked up a set of 350Z V2 wheels, all 4 are rears (18" x 8.5" +33) that had been painted in Nissan K11 Smoke Metallic; a similar colour match to the R35 GTR stock wheels. Photos don't do justice.

Going for a conservative set up & a known BBK wheel.

245/40/18 tyres to be fitted tomorrow.

Started/completed my 2-tone conversion. Sewell has the black ignition rings crazy cheap ($3 ea, down from $28 or something), and I figured that would look pretty good with the various black elements nearby, and it won't get that dingy look nearly as bad as the original color. Plus, that's the only color still in stock.

I replaced all three of my coil connector plugs today. They get brittle from the heat and over time.

Had to cut the rusted bolts off my mid pipe/header connection because I had an exhaust leak. turns out there was a pressure buildup caused by this stuff:



which was in here:



which looked like this:

which caused my o2 sensor to look like this in the end:



On the upside my car feels SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good now. I thought I had just gotten used to the stock power lately but turns out it had a friggin bowel obstruction. She pulls GOOD now.

Oh wow good find!

There was a thread on the DSMLink forums were a guy was finishing up a build and changed up a few things while swapping in FIC 2150cc injectors and had a thread about how his car would not idle or drive at all like it lost all power. 4 pages of troubleshooting later he shows a pictures of a small foam nerf basketball that he used to cover the intake manifold got sucked into the intake and was stuck in one of the runners! Pretty funny how random **** can cause huge issues.
