I've only had my 99 SELimited for almost 2 months, but I've replaced my spark plugs, knock sensor, headlight housings, bumper lights, rear driver brake caliper, rear o2 sensor, hood struts, a tire, windshield, all the seals around the passenger door, map light cover, coil packs, driver inner tie rod, e brake boot, rearview mirror (auto dim from i30), door handles (i30 chrome), swapped to a variable intermittent wiper arm, and sewed myself a new shift boot.
I've also rewired the bird's nest the PO had behind the radio, done the "lazy cruise control mod", rewired my bumper lights so the whole thing blinks, and wired my fogs to a 12v switched..
Now I'm piecing together a 6 speed swap to fix my machine gun of an IPS bearing...

Replaced the left axle & oil seal on my 2K. I had an oil leak at the differential and when I crawled under the car, I discovered that I could wiggle the axle. I panicked and thought the differential was screwed, but calmed down and discovered that the axle joint next to the differential had all the play in it. I had vibration at highway speeds that I hope is gone now, I haven't driven on the expressway yet.

Bought and installed a brake hardware kit on my 2K in hopes it will stop the squeaking. Who ever did the brakes threw away all the springs and shims. What an a-hole.

About to do a good old oil change for my 4th gen!

I also had a wierd dream, I dreamt that I was driving around town and for some reason kept seeing short ram intakes on the ground. Some were the fancy metal kind and some were the black plastic kind and I didnt pick any of them up, darn.

Then I saw that I had my dash apart and found treasure hidden in my car, but had to call someone to extract it. Then there were little mini baby alligators and naked women.

And that was my day, thank you.

Made and installed my O2 Sim.
Bought New Master, Slave, and SS Clutch Line.
Simulated Knock Sensor until I can replace it.
Put some Redline 75W-90 in my MT
Changed oil to synthetic at 100,000 miles. Hopefully I don't find any surprise burning or leaks with it.

Wifey got stranded (1st Time) since owning the car brand new....Cam sensor (bank 1/right bank) decided too retire....Met my wifey in a parking lot and took care of the situation @ the 1845-2000 hr....Had to get the part from O'riellys and cost about $62 after tax.....This was the original sensor, I'd replaced the bank 2 sensor about 9 yrs ago....I must say that we've really had good reliabilty from our 2003 TE SE....That lil "B" is starting to get old!

How do you like the ZT-3? Are you finding it to be accurate? Get a gauge/display too? I just installed one along with the hacker/tweaker display (and a EMU) into a buddies Max last weekend. I'm thinking of picking one up myself.

I had the PLXR300, and TurboXS tuner.

Decided I no longer need all the logging capability with those 2. Although it was fun checking 0-60 times with the PLX.

I haven't done anything more than street and/or dynotuning in a long time and decided the ZT-3 with the cool blue display was for me. Still need some type of WB with readout now with the 440's and 4", so this suited me well.

Efficient and accurate. Although it seems to take a little while to "warm up" as in feedback speed just after starting. After that it seems just fine.

I also like the potential of the ZT-3, as in if I do need that logging capability, it's available if/when needed.

Also, the display is nice and small, and tidy looking on the dash, vs either the PLX or TSX were a but bulky and clumsy looking.

Last weekend was my first Saturday off in a looking time, so I replaced all my torn leather seats with some immaculate, dark cloth seats from a '03 SE. Much more comfortable, and not embarrassed to open the doors anymore! I also had to replace one of the seat motors, cuz the guy that took the seats off at the junkyard prolly dropped the seat on the floor, and had broken the plastic piece. It took 3 motors to make one! Lol! Right now, I'm about to go replace my fog light ballasts, hopefully replace the power steering return hose, and if time allows, install my rear coilovers. I got her vacuumed and washed yesterday!

Oh, I also installed AE pedal pads off a '04 350Z. I still have to mod the dead pedal. I also picked up a set of '04, 350Z front seats, but the airbags were blown, so I still have to repair the side panels and do some bracket modding... But, that's for another day. Still have a wingless trunk to paint (black for now), and all kinds of other stuff.

Changed out kicker panels and center door post panels. Went from tan to black, so the dark seats don't look too out-of-place, although they don't look that bad anyway. Sanded and polished my foglight lenses, and installed coilovers in the rear. Didn't get a chance on Sunday...
Just got a txt that my motor mounts from rockauto just came in. Just in time for the holiday weekend!

Don't forget y'all, this weekend is sale weekend at pick-your-part, and prolly ecology too...
