Yeah I hate taking the compressor out lol. I'm pretty good with the spray cans and spraymax 2k sprays very smooth if you are used to spray cans

yeah, don't think I'll order Mevotech arms again either. Might have gotten 60-80k out of those compression rods, end links were sloppy also. Went with ACDELCO and Moog this time around when I redid the front suspension, again.

Those Spraymax 2k cans are money. Good for bumpers, not so smooth on a hood I did tho.

I just used a red scuff pad, I believe the red pads are 400 grit.

Make sure you didn't screw up the ABS sensors on the back of the diff, or forget to plug them in.

so you don't like the 3.7 ratio? Or just the warning lights? What are your performance impressions compared to the 3.5?

oh, you have an auto? Those behave, differently. In the gear swap thread, someone mentioned their speedo was off. Seems to indicate the rpm sensor in the auto trans is used more than officially documented.
I would hook up a scan tool and monitor what codes are there and see if you can see wheel speed on all 4 corners.

i do have a obd2 scanner and no SES light on my car either.... i think i might do a scan tool test soon, i mean i understand the speedo will be off..... but the slip issue is just odd and on that g35s swap thread, someone did mention the issues will seems eventually fixed itself lol

If it takes the nitrous and doesn't blow up, it deserves some bodywork. Otherwise....

Ordered a fuel pressure safety switch, jets for 55-100 shot, and an RPM window switch. Need to figure out if it's possible to tap a fuel line or something cheap before I order a $75 fuel port adapter.

Planned some dyno time with Pat at Limp Mode Tuning in Portland Maine. Guess we'll see how she does at 153k and 1qt/1000 miles both NA and with a 75 shot, no ECU tune.
