| First of all, thanks to Wagz for the pic hosting. Much appreciated... 1. I have a boost leak the size of Texas. I can't boost past 12psi and you can HEAR the venting to the atmosphere pretty well inside the cabin. BONUS: scares the shit out of people on the sidewalk. But seriously, this is a pretty significant leak, and I feel stupid for not being able to find it. 2. My front fascia is cracked:
Now any guy that paints a car two-tone has NO problem jury-rigging something like this, I'm sure. 3. I have the most absolutely GHETTO oil cooler I have EVER seen, period:
I always knew that the car had front end damage, and I guess it would have KILLED the previous owner to use genuine Nissan parts to replace anything. BTW, new one coming from Z1 soon. 4. I have a hole in my POP charger:
sorry for the lack of focus, shitty camera... 5. I have a crappy Stealin louvered panel that is ready to give up the ghost:
 6. I took off my front fascia to try and find abovementioned boost leak, and these 3 clips came flying out. I have NO clue where they go:
 7. Both of my O2 sensors just bit the dust. 8. My entire wiring harness is on the verge of turning to dust. 9. No wonder my windshield washer fluid leaks:
OK, there's also something VERY strange going on here. I have a windshield washer reservoir in the rear of the vehicle where it is supposed to be, and I ALSO have one at the front passenger side of the engine bay. No other Z32 I have ever seen has this configuration. 10. My trusty pocket knife did this to my seat:
I guess the small retaining screws on the clip have been wearing it away and I just noticed. Great. I do need a new skin for the driver's seat, but it's always nice to destroy your shit unnecessarily, eh? 11. Did I mention the car is two-tone? OK, I don't really hate my Z, but I'm tired of finding crap the previous owner jury-rigged and duct-taped together. The only reason I don't just sell the car is I've invested WAY too much of my time and quite a bit of money to get it to where it is now. Plus, it has over 160psi of compression in each cylinder, so even if the rest of the car is falling apart, the motor is strong.
bleh, I'm tired and sweaty and I need a beer...
