When I was back home in the USA, I had the chance to stop by Chase Bays in Birmingham, Alabama and get a tour of their work shop by the man himself, Mr. Chase McMaster. Previous to this visit, I had only had the pleasure of seeing their work via the business site http://www.chasebays.com. Up […]
I’ve been piecing together a few items since I first got the A31 Laurel Altima that aren’t related to the engine swap that I did earlier this past late spring, but more or less upgrades to be done after I have the car finished and inspected/registered.

The inner CV boots were missing and the tripod housings that contain the bearings have been left without lubrication and are open to the elements. Not good. Repair? Replace with used 240SX axles (6-bolt […]
