wow looks very clean indeed !Was going to do a PMF today but the fluid pouring out of the pan looked brand new. Ended up just doing that drain and putting the same amount back in. Just over 4 quarts.

changed the blue windshield fluid for orange windshield fluid
Orange Fluid works for a substitute Blinker fluid. ;-)Finally changed the X’s brake fluid. And changed the blue windshield fluid for orange windshield fluid
Absolutely. All the time. And remember to top off your reservoir if you take your shiat in for oil changes anywhere. They'll top it off with blue garbage.Orange, year round, FTW....
nice ! I need to do that too
Yea have to use Skin-Less, and Squeeze For max Benefit ... Vodka helps Removing the Pulp, with ICE..What is that stuff for anyway? We have orange fluid to but seem to use it differently View attachment 26083
Our preferred antifreeze formula is to mix the orange stuff with rum, amaretto, triple sec, and a bit of pineapple. And ice of course just to show it worksYea have to use Skin-Less, and Squeeze For max Benefit ... Vodka helps Removing the Pulp, with ICE..
Glad it arrived! That insurance thing sounds scary, but looking forward to seeing some adventures.Special delivery!

And thankfully it fit in my small European garage, 4 inches of clearance.

Found a website with trails here in Moldova. Most look like unimproved roads rather than off road trails, but will be fun to explore.
Rough part is insurance here is based on engine size. My 30 day temp insurance was $115. Scared to see what the year long policy will cost once my vehicle is registered .
Have fun and be safe! When I was stationed in Belgium I got screwed with that. My insurance was a higher monthly payment than my brand new car at the time. I’m still salty about that because USAA took advantage of the situation and charged extra.Special delivery!

Well, that's no good!View attachment 26188
Replaced this bolt on my steering shaft. Had to track down the part at an Infiniti dealer. I must’ve tightened it down too much last time. Had to use a breaker bar to get the nut loose last night and I’m guessing it bent then.
I can't find my numbers but you should be good. If you're not running a spacer you don't have to worry about bottoming out the shock and if it's the same length as OE, you can most likely go back to the stock flat pad.View attachment 26183
Ironman UCAs installed. Will be selling the SPC. Primary reason is the height of the ball joint and it beating the crap out of my fender. I don’t want to put a top spacer on due to my garage being tight already, so I’m hoping this will allow me to get a little more up travel back by cutting another ring off my poly bump stops. @TerryD you did all the homework on the travel capabilities — can you dummy check me here and confirm?
For clearance between the UCA and fender liner, I have over an inch more now.

Thanks, that makes sense but you never know where there’s some tricky thing and I wanted to check. Would you go back to rubber vs just cutting two more layers off the poly?I can't find my numbers but you should be good.

Pull your swaybar and flex it out. Then you can see what would make more sense based on the amount of up travel you can actually use.Thanks, that makes sense but you never know where there’s some tricky thing and I wanted to check.

I didn’t even think of that but I wonder if the lack of sway bar is why my UCAs hitting the fender seemed so much more pronounced than other people indicated.Pull your swaybar and flex it out. Then you can see what would make more sense based on the amount of up travel you can actually use.
I chose to put spacers on so I have more down travel from static ride height myself but you have to be able to adjust your coilovers to do that and keep your current amount of lift.
Probably. That's why I put in the extended bumps to begin with. Even with the spacer I was smashing the fender liners with the UCA. Now I haven't noticed any more contact with the energy bump stop with the top ring offI didn’t even think of that but I wonder if the lack of sway bar is why my UCAs hitting the fender seemed so much more pronounced than other people indicated.
