I feel proud that I finally had to disassemble and fix my car in a random parking lot

I have a 2013370z + a 2007 350hr, and a 2013 infiniti g37x for almost, the prior 2 I’ve had for almost 2 years now. And no, the clutch isn’t the issue, it’s the concentric slave cylinder, fixed after the 2013 model which is also when they introduced the oil cooler. They’re not my dailies so when I do get to drive them, I drive them good lol. They’ve been through everything. I’m also a mechanical engineering student on his third year at Florida International University and I study the VQ engine religiously as it’s the platform I’m most familiar with. The wheel bearings in the 370z are MUCH different than the ones found in the 350z VQ35DE models- I can say that because I own both. VERY different. Same applies to the starter. My 370z had one previous owner and the car has about 125k miles now on the body- I’ve rebuilt the engine (my choice- no issues whatsoever) and I’ve also swapped the transmission- Thats when I did the CSC delete. In 125k miles I’ve had absolutely no issues with the car. My 350 has less miles but the same can be said. This obviously doesn’t apply to the DE platform as we all know the DE is shit, but the HR is a very good platform to do anything with. Neither of my cars are stock at the time of writing this comment.
