My buddy's 1 ton ram has a full airhorn setup with a compressor and ballast tank. It literally sounds like a train. THAT gets some respect... it also doesn't hurt that the truck is huge Nothing like waiting at a rr crossing and blasting right back at the locomotive coming through! Got a kid to fall off his bike in my friend's neighborhood, too

motul is relatively expensive though.

I believe it was $19.85 for the quart.

Motul > AMSoil/ATE

just sayin'

I like the ATE Super Blue a lot. $15 a bottle and its enough to do the entire flush + more. For street and autox, its was perfect. Jeff has used it on track, so I hope he chimes in.

Tim, big ballin with the Braille Lithium battery, should test the Catrol SRF stuff for our sake.

BTW, its AMSOIL(R), not AMSoil (AMSPerformance). Just saying

Three words for the Nissan GTR:

1. Awesome
2. Fast
3. Comfortable

Seriously? That's up there. I just did mine in less than an hour and it wasn't something I'd charge more than maybe $75 for.

Yeah, I hope to have it running late this weekend/early next week. I've been backed up at work and home with other side jobs I can't get away from. It's nice to get the work and fix you guys' cars but it slows down my own repairs. The motor is mostly assembled minus the oil pump, timing belt and oil pan.
