Drive your Z wisely...

I have to wonder how many of these NISMO automatics people are buying will be sold with 2400 miles on the odometer. The manual transmission isn't exactly the hardest thing to live with about the car (hint: it's the suspension) so unless the springs and dampers get swapped out I think the used market is going to be flooded in a year or two.

What a nice drive! Not driving it all winter sure does make the heart grow fonder. Warmed her up with some slow, winding, back country roads. Then when at temp for a bit, rowed through the gears and enjoyed the windy, country roads

Didn't dare to push the corners too much really though. It is still low 40's, but it was nice to stretch her legs a bit. Filled up with fresh premium 93 before heading home.
A very good way to spend the Saturday morning.

motored my Z this am.

was a good drive.
since im going to pull her out again tomorrow, did not QD.

madwi · 04-04-2015, 11:21 AM

Now since interior is all spiffy, time to go for a cruise and let outside get all dirty before its bath tomorrow

madwi · 04-04-2015, 12:08 PM

I am now second guessing if I really want to paint the hood. I was standing in line at the gas station and looked out the window and it sure looked good sitting there in its c/f awesomeness. I might clear the whole thing first and leave it for the year and think about painting it the following year if I get sick of it. Decisions, decisions.

yah, i would keep it CF. you'll probably want to get UV protection though if you're going to leave the car out in the sun for long periods at a time.

for cars like mine, no need for UV protection, just a good coat of wax or sealant will do.
