What is the name of it?

I'm getting my Eibach springs installed today. Hope it all goes well and they don't scratch the paint.

Yesterday had the oil changed and had both belt tensioners replaced under my extended warranty. Then today I washed, clay barred, and waxed it.

I finally installed my tein H-tech M35 front springs - fit great and now only have a single finger gap in the front wheel well and when the car is in drive it also has a single finger gap in the rear to match the front.

I want to look at the front wheel offset and possibly purchase a small spacer to push them out a little more. - maybe 5mm or 7mm with extended lug nuts to get them flush and stay safe and centered.

Today i finished replacing two tires a massive pothole blew out. Well, it blew out the front passenger tire and damaged the back one. That pothole also ended up bending the back rim as well

So i swaped out that bent rim with the spare rim in the trunk since it was in new condition....thank goodness for full size spares

I started my electric fan install. I was going to use the stock shroud, but I decided to make an aluminum one instead. I still have a few hours of work left, but I love all the space I have in front of the motor, and that I don't have to deal with that dumb hydraulic fan anymore.

Turns out the TPMS sensor in that rim with the blown tire doesnt work correctly anymore...says im about 10PSI over what it should read..damn!

Anyone has to replace one sensor before? How hard is it to work with the car?

Made a new front lip to replace my bent up stock one. Looks pretty good for $20 and a few hours of work. I didn't get a chance to take pictures tonight, so I'll post some up tomorrow. On an unrelated matter, my drivers side window wont roll back up, I hope it stays sunny until I figure out why!

No, I wanted to make some space. The hydraulic fan has a lot components and weight, removing it really cleaned up the engine bay. Although, I might change my fan, it is pretty loud.

Should be done today.

I'm not doing it, I'm actually having a good friend do it cause he owns such a shop (figured I'd throw him and his family some business instead of saving the money and doing it myself).

But from all the past HID Kits I've done, why wouldn't it be plug'n'play?

H1 OEM harness --> Connector --> Ballast --> Ignitor --> Bulb

I haven't seen the lights on this car because I haven't done ANYTHING but change the cabil filter and oil, but I can't imagine it being that different from my Maxima (in terms of harnesses).

I dont know why they would not be, my last kit on my 240SX were plug in play, but i guess on the 03 M there not, for the fogs at least. I just had to cut the connector that the regualr fogs pluged into, crimped aftermarket connectors and wala!!. Wasnt too bad.

.....bought a 3pc spoiler today, long story....hope it fits.

Well the fogs were a little funky. The HID kit had prongs for the harness plug, so we just shoved them into the OEM harness.

Fixed my window that wouldn't roll up or down, just had to reset the limits, glad I din't pay the dealer $435 to do that. I also installed some more LED's, the reverse lights and interior lights.

Also took some pictures of the lip spoiler I made

It's hard to get a decent shot of it since it has been dark and rainy, hopefully the sun comes out so I can get a better picture.

It's just flexible paver edging (Diamond-lok) from home depot :eek It bent to shape easily, and I used a blow torch on the tight bends. The hardest part was joining th 2 pieces, the Home Depot near my house only sells the material in 6' sections. I joined them using screws and an extra piece of plastic. I threw some stickers over th joint so you cant see it. It cost less then $20 and took less then 2 hours to make. And if I scrape the hell out of it on a drive way or curb, I don't have to worry because it's super easy to replace.
