1- they said the ECU was throwing bad codes, even though they confirmed low oils pressure related to P0524. But the P0113 code was a phantom.
2- there was a high pitch whine coming just after engine shut down. They said this was an infrequent but not unheard of issue across the Infiniti line up.
The ECU took 3 weeks to come in from Japan though, so the repair must be somewhat rare.

Discount Tire Direct has a promotion of $75 gift card with another $75 gift card if you open/use their card through tomorrow (08/25).
A set of OE sized PSS would be $784 shipped, and I'd get $125 in visa gift cards, bringing the total to $634. I'm not thrilled about opening a DTD credit card, but whatever
Anyone think I can do better on PSS or should I go for it?

You're going to really like the PSS. Particularly when matched to your suspension upgrades.

Edit: Not sure it will work with the ¨direct¨ store. I did mine through discounttire.com

Last year, I bought two PSS for the rear, and ran them with the Bridgestones on the front, just for that one season while the fronts still had some tread life in them. I was worried about the mismatch, but honest-to-god I swear the car handled better with just the two rear PSS than otherwise.
And of course, I run snow tires in the winter.
This year... PSS all around, with a 1" and 1.5" wider patch, respectively front to back. The car is simply heroic.

Same here... 11K on my OEM rear tires, and 15K on the fronts.

My wife's car needs tires too, so I'm going to have to drop a bunch of coin on rubber in the next few weeks

I'm thinking about just getting rears but I hate mismatched tires. Fronts are 6/32 to 5/32 depending on where I measure, rears are 2/32 to 3/32. I really should see how the alignment goes on Friday.....

Hogwash! I love the Recaro seat for my son and think it's better than my wife's highly rated Chicco seat. The one thing better about the Chicco is you can adjust the seat without taking it out of the car, so in that respect, yeah, no bueno. Everyone has their own preference though, I just think it's cool they offer such a cool seat with a good safety rating at that.
Here is a demonstration of my son thinking the same thing.....LOL.

Two reasons, according to the dealer:
1- they said the ECU was throwing bad codes, even though they confirmed low oils pressure related to P0524. But the P0113 code was a phantom.
2- there was a high pitch whine coming just after engine shut down. They said this was an infrequent but not unheard of issue across the Infiniti line up.
The ECU took 3 weeks to come in from Japan though, so the repair must be somewhat rare.

2013 5.0 and man, what a blast to drive around in. If you can get past the stigma of driving a "mustang" I think there is no better car out there pure fun wise (compared to similarly price vehicles) than the 5.0. The seats were also a must have option for the car and worth every penny.

^ Very nice! I think the Mustang 5.0 is one of the best sounding V8's out there. That 420 HP sure is nice too! The Recaros look like a very nice upgrade over stock. I think many cars leave a bit to be desired in terms of the seats. The leather quality could be a lot better. I drove a Q50 loaner a few months ago and was not overly impressed with the leather thickness on the seats. It seemed thin and cheap.
