OooOooO0OO YEaHhHH babbBY! sorry that was the all the happiness and exitment for hte moment being! so bake to business!

-Friday afternoon i headded out for a 3 hour drive teo VENUS AUTO of Sacramento California!!! well atleast i thought it was going to be 3 hours, that what map quest said!" damn liars" took me darn near 4 hours in a 92 ford exploorer hauling a Single Axle flat bed trailer! OUTCH i was suppised i made it there w/out the clip!

- well i arrived at Venus Auto at about 3:45pm., started snooping arround and looking at clips, i seen rb20/25/26 det/dett/NA sr/ and finally my baby CA18DET AHHHHH there she was! sitting all alone on the shelf by herself!

-Anyway, i presented myself and the little nigga that could, not really but i just gave my shop card to"VICKIE" and gave her hte money order for t he clip 1,000 YEAH! gots to love theose friendly shop owner hookups:). they brought the forklift and took the ca clip down.. man it was soo pretty, i almost made love to that damn thai guy who speaks like a fajjian squirl and looks like he just walked out the BOON DOCKS! lol

so to all the good stuff, i was told that good compression on ca18 was arround 170! so i asked venus to do a compression test for me and the meter ran up in between 170-200 all all four cylindars! they were all equal!.. i am not too shure what hte exact number on the compression gauge was but i saw that it was somewhere in between 170 and 200 PSI. so yeah. i am assuming thats good! been told about some carbon build up crap! ANYWAY!

i will post pics and pregress soon!

thanks nissan infiniti club members! yall are the best!
