Description:
trying to keep it on the road as a daily driver. Most mods will be in the realm of "upkeep" but, I swear, I will ALWAYS upgrade from OE stock parts to Better.

Let's see, The Brakes are pulsing. Found that the rear rotors need updating (running original rotors because the Brake Calipers had rusted and were not reliable in use. The R rear caliper had a snapped guide pin bolt and had no motion so the pads had warped the rotor and the brake was not helpful at all)
Replaced all rotors with slotted, drilled with Ceramic Pads. Stops on a DIME now. Wonder what else can go wrong?

2003 G35.
What else went wrong? Front suspension. Blew a Strut (R Front) hitting a 6"x13" pot hole at 35 mph. It also caused a blow out on the RF tire. (Rim is fine)
Replaced front struts with Tokico Blues with KYB Boots and Mounts. Handles like a dream. (Daily Driver here, with some aggressive hills in the Ozarks)
