Well , got my other SER Alti totaled on the 27th of May of this year , got it replaced with another one but with a manual & Smoke Met .

It had 246 000 km on it now , not much more mileage than when I bought it . got some goodies on it already in addition to the loads of fixes that was needed on it as well as other things to be to my taste .

Must be an overdue thread .

Have to get the front bumper repainted , way too ugly , would like another S5 grill as the former one I had before the accident , lower mid grill s ordered & loads of small patrs also .

Here s the 1 st order I got from RLR , great service from him , will make business with him again .

Hope it will work ! I have so many issues posting pix .

Anyways , stuff that has been done since the purchase :

Well got it on Monday June 22nd , much more mileage than the one that got totaled but another color & manual , something that I wanted .

My rear 06+ 350Z brake setup is swapped already to my newer old ride as well as the fronts ( new 1k miles only on them ) . Brake fluids were flushed as well .

Switched my front seats as well , mine were in much better shape .

Now it needs one Lower Control Arm , a outer tie rod end , an alignment as well . All remaining fluids will be changed as well .

Pics to follow when someone I know will get pics of that ride . Every liquids / fluids have been changed .

Hope I ll have not too much issues with this one .

Also replaced lower oil cooler pipe in front of oil filter .

A section of the pass side front floor was also fixed , cleaned the engine bay 3 times in order to have a little bit to my taste !

Cleaned up the interior & put the 1st coat of Leatherique on back seat which was a mess , wonder if it was ever cleaned after 242 k kms .

Well , got it rustproofed also , adjusted ebrake , some jammed goodies on it , & wheels balanced .

Still needs sparkplugs to be changed & pcv valve at the same time swapped as well . ( for maintenance reasons )

Thanx Mr 4D ! lol

Got it on H&Rs , love the ride , tought it would give an harsher ride , but looks like it s a little bit smoother than OEM s .

Thanx for the helping hand if needed , or when it will be needed somehow down the line .

I must say that I have some Build Threads that I can inspire myself from . Will be late to the party maybe , but my shoulders are getting a little better , doing some physio 3 times a week .

Maybe in 3-4 months I ll be able to get back to work , hopefully !

Do you have HID's? I like the way the Nissan HID's look more than white but to each their own. Gotta love rusty bolts slowing you down. It's a joy working on an almost 12 year old car.

And seeing a near stock engine bay is a total throwback ! Damn that battery and engine cover are huge!

What's your next mod to your new baby?

Yep factory ser hid , scored 2 sets of ballasts & 2 SER Alti Headlamp Assemblies also , & a Racing Line Front Upper Strut Tower Brace this afternoon , nice little 160 miles today .

Also have a RL battery holder that I bought 2-3 years back , never installed yet .

Guess that I ll have a machinist look at it & will have him copy it if he wants too .

Pix to come later on .

Yep real fun removing these bolts , lovely Canadian Winter doing its lovely corrosion or rust job .

Hopefully I ll be able to install my RL strut brace this weekend if shoulders & lower back permits !

Well , the photo quality s bad , not a great photograph & way worst photoshoper ! lol
 
#21 ·
Well , got the RL Strut Brace installed , will take it for a spin this weekend .
 
#23 ·
Thanx mate .

Guess the next mod will be some trunk braces (2) , will check for some steel tubings , 1 inch . in no hurry .

Came from a spin on some known back roads & I m pretty happy with the handling difference , not night & day but good enough to say it s worth while to install the RL FSTB .

Pix to come .

Received my pass side mirror cover yesterday , might have it painted this week , might give it a shot , right shoulder s getting a bit better now finally . Might have both mirror covers repainted , one s a little on the rough end .

Bet it will be installed this week even if not repainted .

All this due to some lost or stolen by some young punks mirror cover .

Mirror covers have been wet sanded , got ready to be painted tomorrow , today s too humid .
