MINE:here we go guys. Yesterday i was driving getting ready to go to class and as im coming down from speed aproaching a stop light i hear this terrible noise so im wondering what in the hell it could be. after driving around a little bit more i stop to cjeck under the car to see what it is. Nothing... so i park the car at my house take my dads truck to class and told my self that ill look at my car tomorrow(which is today). so i jack the rear of my car up cause that where the noise was coming from.by the way it kind of sucks when you let a friend borrow jack stands when you come to find out that you need them. look around and what do i see. The front two bolts that hold up the differential are missing... i come to the conclusion that they must have backed themselve out during driving. so i call up my local nissan dealership and they tell me that it will be a few days till they get the bolts in. So i call my good friend Bryan whos has a S13 that parked for now (project car) and told him my situation and borrowed his two bolts for now. but they are different thatn S14 bolts they are a bit shorter and wouldn't reach the threads using the bushing thats there (by the way ones missing too) so i llok around and all that i have a washers that are too small so heres when my ghetto fab skills come into play. looking around for something to get it together for now until the bolts come in i see my angle grinder and what on it very beefy washer that i know can with stand the torque and get me where i want to go until i get the bolts. (Keep in mind this is my Daily Driver) So i test fit, and they work. so i tighten everything down and now i believe im ready to go, at least until i get me some brand new bolts.

Enjoy my ghetto fab skillsZach

it might not look safe but it was i checked it a few times. (shook the car before i went under) to make sure it was. it was only for temp. purposes a good friends got my jack stand and i didn't feel like the hassle trying to get them that early. now if it wouldn't have been sturdy then i would have gotten them but... i know everybody has some ghetto fab stories of they're own...

SOOOO LETS HEAR THEM.......
