When you doing mine?
from Mike D (CJD) himselfGet some Rust Cure Formula 3000 to spray the heims before you install the boots. Oil spraying is the only thing that's going to keep them from seizing and corroding.

Mike said to use TriFlow (which I use on my coilovers already) so that'll work just fine
Fluid film from the spray can is ok, I've seen people use it all battery terminals and alternators. However, you linked me their automotive spray so I don't know about that product and can't say either way. The best here (according to the military testing) is called Corrosion Free but it's hard to find a place that will spray your vehicle, a close second is Krown in terms of effectiveness and dealers are everywhere around here so it's convenient. Formula 3000 is better IMO when you want to buy your own spray can/tubs. Fluid Film was not tested in the study. Here is the military doc with all the specs they were testing: https://shufti.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/p526285.pdf
The main thing is you're putting something on them!
Since you are going to be rocking all that extra power, you might want to do one more upgrade. The Titan brake booster and master cylinder bolts in. You can get low mile boosters for like $50 and a new master is approx. $130 but will have to do your own brake lines, or alternatively FatBob's or Nisstec sell the package for about $450.. It's not an expensive mod, but it adds a lot more braking force to the calipers to help with stopping. Also I highly recommend Hawk LTS brake pads. Those pads made a huge difference offroad on steep grades, and bite hard when you get on the brakes.

I cant wait to get you out so we can break something cause you know what they say, "if you aint breaking, are you even wheeling?"
Hahaha. true! I'll save that for when we build a truggy!!
nah, wheel your X... its capable
But what if it doesn't?oh no objections to wheeling it but I wont wheel in spots that there isn't any doubt that its gonna break lol
What wheels are those?
I had Hawk LTS prior to the swap and trying the Akebono Ceramic pads this time around.
Paddle shifter? Really?
Absolutely. All of that. Lemme see more!

Where did you pull the paddle shifters from, GT-R? Thought that was a whole system (tranny and all that).
No si . The paddles are for a G35 and TCM/Valvebody is from a G car. Needs a V8 Pathy shift-tronic shifter
