Camber arms came a day early and the uprev came quite a few days early too.


Got some bad news from cam, the wheel bearings are shot............ Good news he had some laying around and is gonna just put them on for me.

Also more bad news, I need a transmission, my 5th gear is acting up so its not like this more like 4th 5 So hes trying to source me a trans now. If anyone has one lmk

More good news he found me some stock GTR exhaust and I love the way it sounds problem is I need a trans........ plus I need to mod it. If I find a trans soon and this is still around im gonna snag it.

No worries travis, I've been in the game for a long timmeeee...theres a reason people come to me for help with their G's and Z's. Your in good hands and thats why im checking this thing out so that it IS SAFE FOR FI....so calm down killas, it's going to be done right...another reason I'm not letting him roll around hawaii with busted wheel bearings, bald tires, and a transmission that will never let him use one of the most fun gears for boost =)

I guess 195s & 20 degrees of camber is though.

When the car explodes from the 285s everyone can say I told you so

Glad Cam is squaring me away,

Tires are unsafe.. you are better off running something to small than to wide.. hell most women prefer less than more also right? I'm asking because i would not know that answer as my junk runs kinda unsafe do to being over sized compared to the rims i place it in..

So after talking to Cam about that GTR exhaust we found out itll be more work than its worth, so I just bough some X02 exhaust. He also said he should be able to knock this out in 2 days starting next tuesday. Get it tuned and get it out to hawaii for me.

Cant wait to see the "body kit" painted.. don't know why its not painted yet.. does it go faster do to the weight savings from not having paint?

Update........

Well Cam got my new tires on the front, then he noticed something. He always said the car was not lowered level. Turns out the front tires were 2 different sizes. SMH

He put the new fronts on no Issues with VDC freaking out.

I bought a magnaflow X pipe Muffler (resonantor) to add to the HKS rep exhaust, because ive heard videos of the exhaust didnt like it, then in person same, until I heard it with the X pipe installed then I could deal with it.

Hopefully itll sound close to this

Heres my newest purchase and now my car is complete back to OEM conditions.

Everything from a 24k 05 G coupe.

Drivers side window motor and both door locks
