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 .
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 .

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 !
Had the headlight bulbs changed this afternoon , took 2 hours , most bolts were stuck in rust , Had one headlight swapped with the only one that got saved from the accident .
Put on some OSRAM D2R 4300 bulbs , like the white better than the blue ones that were on before .
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!
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 .
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 .
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 .
