Btw. Someone have the max sized tires I can put on base 18 wheels? I can't remember if it was 245/35 or 40. And 275/35 or 40. I'm ordering tires asap. Rears are shot after that trip.

just get you a piece of sheet metal about the size of a piece of paper.. you'll need a good pair of scissors to cut it in half, but first measure the oil cooler, then based off that cut your plate, and do it in 2 places.

Use rubbing alcohol to clean the sides of the oil cooler, then use velcro extreme on the outer edges of the oil cooler, do the same with the sheet metal..

I usually slide both pieces through the grill.. its a tight fit, but you can do it.

your tires were shot before you made the trip..:ugh::ugh:

I need to find out what's going on with Chase. Still haven't heard from the guy regarding my spoiler.

:ugh2::ugh2::ugh2::ugh2:

Do me a favor and check your oil levels and feel/look at the filter and cooler area to make sure nothing is leaking after the drive home.

good idea mr. madwi :iagree:

You may have to play with adjusting the exhaust. Might be tapping the x brace or something.

All I know is I am not crawling under there to check. :icon17:

Lol. It's Lein's problem now.

Lein, the reason I asked about the heat shields is depending on the kind of noise you're hearing, they may be vibrating against the cat section of the pipe. I removed mine on the 370z. I left them on my 350, and they caused nothing but problems.

Oil levels look solid still. Will check for leaks and filter when I get to my house. Don't have ramps or jacks at Susan's. Don't hear any vibrations at all currently. Going to grab lunch, gas, a d go to lowes for the plate stuff. No word FROM Seb today yet and still nothing from Chase....

I still need sleep and more coffee.

This weekend at Streets was a drainer

just drive your Z, dont go looking for "sounds/vibrations":rolleyes:

He's lying! He made mistakes that are causing the noises! Lein!! Lein you gotta find all the noises!

Then, EW can help fix them :tup:

:icon17:

Wonder if I could take him to work? I know the wife would never bother me again.

I'm doing it finally!!!!!

Pretty square fitment on 19x12,,,wheel doesn’t appear to be bent; I’ll balance it in the morning & get Official weight of the wheel-as tire’s are 32#https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...aeb8bd996e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e35ec14ed2.jpg

Just put the rim on the balancer. Use a dial indicator to check the rim. Rotate the rim by hand to see your high and low spots. ;)

This wheel/tire combo is way more wider than the widest police setup & with 8” backspacing; I gotta really space it out on machine.....I gotta look around for the proper adapter to push it out before spinning it up.
I did use a couple cones to test wheel before installing tire...didn’t use dial indicator because balancing machine has been Cowboy’d up & shaft isn’t perfectly true.
I’ll spend more time tomorrow with it & chuck it up tight.

:owned:

I’ll take one of my 10’s off the front w/285’s & do a comparison,,,as they weren’t in the crash & were very smooth....I’ll be able to tell if wheel is Fubar or not.

Sweet man! Have fun!

No spoiler was delivered.

Debating if I should file a claim with paypal at this point..... No word from on here either...

As for the tune. I got the ok from Seb to do a WOT pull. The car has officially scared me. My god did it haul. And I didn't even get to 5th gear.

Ordered those Firestone Indy 500 tires. 245/45/18F and 275/40/18R. Hopefully the bubble effect isn't to bad.

Giving Chase until tomorrow. Otherwise will have to file a claim with paypal.... I'll end up ordering the spoiler direct from powertrix and just waiting.

Got some good sleep today. I tried to stay up all night but I passed out around 2 am with xbox controller in hand. Woke up for about 15 minutes and told myself I needed to get back on my normal schedule and stay up until 10am but I fell asleep again. :icon17: Total sleep was around 11 hours. I was sore and wiped out, glad I have an office job :icon17:

Yea... not looking forward to work tomorrow. Going to be ugly...

I am not doing a whole lot of work tonight. I think answer some calls, maybe get up off the chair to see what the cafe has for us.

Be your luck. All helll breaks loose tonight. :rofl2:

Im kicking you in the shins if you just jinxed me! :icon17:

Lucky. I need to deploy a desktop tomorrow. Set up a few new users that started over the past week. Backup and redeoply a spare hdd for a busted desktop, figure out a p2p connection for our marketing girl, and God knows what else that I missed over the weekend.

Tomorrow is pierogi and Ms. Pint sausages for dinner. We had so much food this past weekend we didnt have time to cook and eat it all, it is a good problem to have.

You're young. You'll get over it. :rofl2:

Im not that young anymore.

Starting to get a little excited for Zdayz. Need to pack, buy plates and crap for the cabin 660 dinner thingy. Need to put interior of z together, all the plastic trim under the hood and undertray. Lots of crap to do and not a lot of time. Took wed. off of work so hopefully I can get a full day of wrenching in and be ready for 6:30 am departure Thursday morning.

In that case. Lump it, fck it. Tomorrow's another day.

Wifey is already packed. I have to pack tonight. Pack the Z tomorrow night.
