nice G and congrats. not to sound like a dick though, but why post this in my thread? you should make your own intro.

changed the trans and diff fluid yesterday. pretty straightforward.. honestly i can't tell a huge difference. i used nissan MTF in the trans, and it does feel a little smoother going into reverse and first/second but not a big difference at all, which i guess is good since it probably means the 2 previous owners didn't drive it hard.

just thought i'd make a little update

been a while, just took the G out of hibernation a couple of weeks ago. haven't driven it since the beginning of january due to salt being thrown on the roads for any kind of precipitation around here


hit 36k about a week ago (~500 miles driven since nov. heh)




installed a nismo radiator cap and oil cap..






also had a chance to finally use the tuf shine tire clearcoat kit that i bought a few months back. this stuff is fcking awesome!
i did the inner sidewalls first, strictly for protection purposes so they don't end up dry rotting on me. yes i laid the wheels down face first, no they aren't scratched, the edge of the tire is actually all that's touching the ground. i made sure of this before i did it.

first scrub with the cleaner-



after 6 times-



cleaned and dried-



3 coats of clearcoat-



did the outer sidewalls after, same process just weren't as dirty.
all done-




i'll report back on how this holds up over time. so far it's been great and looks amazing.

Why are your wheels resting on their faces on the ground?

Nice car! Crazy low mileage for an 04, looks to be in great shape.

And I hate to beat a dead horse, but those wheels... In my opinion are possibly the ugliest things I have ever seen. But hey, different people have different tastes!

Nice car man
