Its a 2008 Nismo Z. New style motor that makes 320 or something.
He's got mild bolt ons. That car traps 107 in the quarter.

Its not a super fast car, but puts up a fight from a roll.
From a stop it would be a waste of gas for me.

Tomorrow, my car will run again.

As is customary, since my car will run again, it will be raining the rest of the week. Sorry guys.

M my my MY CAR RUNS AGAIN

I started it up. No leaks! I also fixed my slipping alternator belt. The uh tensioner clamp bolt had stripped out.

Of course, it is SLEETING and SNOWING outside.

Uncatted exhaust never smelled so good.

Thanx Sean for the flare tool. Yes the bitches sealed up nice n sweet. Also thanx y8s for the idea to use rubber hose as a flex joint. The pipe was damn hard to join anyways.
