A lot of you may know me already from FA, 240SXForums, SR20Forum, NissanRoadRacing, and CarolinaNissans. If you know me from the latter, you may not like me too much as I'm a mod and often speak my mind. :D
I did not intend it this way, but I currently own 5 Nissans:
2008 Maxima SL, loaded except for Nav
2003 Pathfinder SE, 4WD, tow vehicle (but not much of one!)
1992 240SX parts car
1970 Datsun 510 Wagon
AND
1993 240SX SE
The last one started out as a HICAS/ABS model, and has been stripped completely. I had a rollbar added in February 2008, Sparco seats, and G-Force harnesses. After all the weight reduction and the rollbar stuff was installed, here is the cross-weight for the car with me in it:

In case you're curious, I account for 180 pounds of that.
The rollbar:

I'm currently moving toward 350Z Track rotors with the same calipers, as I am converting to 5-lug. Here is roughly what it will look like:

No pad overhang like you get with the same rotors and Z32 calipers.

I've done VIR-Full three times and CMP-Full once. I haven't done any events this year from losing my job and the economy, but hope to get one in next year.
I've seen people talking about this board for a long time but just never joined.
