Those are the obvious fixes. Is it the resonance frequency of the exhaust vibrating something else in your hatch/cabin?

Still cant get over the fact the Z is out of commision for who knows how long.

What makes it sad is its just chilling in the driveway, and from the side you see when you walk out of the door it looks just fine, until you walk around it. Plus it still runs and drives fine, other than i think the alignment got tweaked a bit by having a buck bounce off a wheel, because for the most part it still drives straight down the road even at 70 :(

One is far and away a top innovator and vendor for 370Z parts. Whereas AAM just wants your money regardless of whether they've actually produced the part.

I was happy with them when I had my 350, times change.

I dont think so. It seems to be right at the drivers side test pipe. When she cools down Ill get back under there and make sure things are tight. Front end is all put together so I am not ripping it apart. Gigantic exhaust leak or not, she is going to Zdayz. Ill just have to make sure no one sees me get in or out of it. :rofl2:

The good news is my Ecutek bluetooth dongle is working with the phone app. :tup: I am not sure what some of the stuff means but everything appears to be OK. :icon17:

Check to make sure none of the heat shield bolts/studs are protruding to where they can potentially touch the test pipe when the engine twists under load.

Ordered a Sun Joe spx2500 pressure washer. Also some Milwaukee tools. Thinking of getting a foam cannon. Either Sun Joe or Dusichin.

Take it from Madwi and myself. Just get this thing and call it a day. Well worth the price.

So i take it you've had bad experiences with snow cannons? What makes this one good, in your opinion?

JARblue 05-16-2018 03:18 PM

My guess would be the price.

The basic one that came with my washer was made of soft plastic, weird filler head, and barely created a foam. More of just soapy water. I bought a knockoff foam lance afterwards and it broke within a few months time from under a handleful of washes.

Got the foam master thing Madwi recommended and now my car looks like it came straight out of a bukkake brazzers video. Besides that, the seal is wicked tight, the container is surdy and doesn't leak, the nozzle covers at 40 degree angles, and you can adjust the whole lance for best soap to water ratios.

Found the issue! TP demon bolt was loose and there was a gigantic exhaust leak on both sides :eek: fixed now along with ultra copper gasket crap.

JARblue 05-16-2018 05:20 PM

I believe the one I bought is about half price of the normal detailing name branded ones. I want to say it was around $45 ish.

One more load of laundry and bedtime. :rock: Decided to pack light and buy all the crap I need at walmart.

madwi 05-17-2018 05:14 AM

I like the sunrise.

Happy ZDayZ!!

JLarson 05-17-2018 07:14 AM

Getting packed up and ready to head to Zdayz! Lein, it's just going to be you and Pint holding down the fort - remember, it's your duty to keep things off topic. I believe in you.

Pint, if he gets too Z related, smite him.

Agenda for the weekend will consist of making the block off plate for the oil cooler, putting new tires on while the tech yells at me for them being to big for the wheels, detailing the car, golfing a bit, taking naps, going to the mall to help the gf test fit bras at VS, watching Infinity War finally, eating taco bell, and playing MHW by myself.

Getting the NV3500 and car trailer ready for the long trip to Chickeshaw, OK.
I could not find a shipper coming back my way for the latest barn find I got.
1960 Ford F-100 Custom cab. It will be the daily driver for my 16yr old once we go through it.
http://www.the370z.com/members/zeein...f100-front.jpg


I have to give this girl an appropriate name/pate.
Any suggestions?

All I have is Olemetl and Ole' Metal for the tailgate.

Leingod 05-17-2018 10:32 AM

My god. Mine are no where close to that bad. I don't have track camber. just as close as stock as possible, but it still being to far outside spec. So whatever you consider that to be. I can't remember my numbers off the top of my head from last year when I got it done. SPL and toe bolts will go on some day.

StevenSlice 05-17-2018 10:37 AM

I think i was at -3.2 Front with 0 toe, and -2.2 Rear with -0.5 Toe in. My rears wear amazingly however, completely squared across both tires.

I still need more front camber on track lol

Leingod 05-17-2018 10:44 AM

I knew I had my old sheet uploaded somewhere. No idea if the numbers are good or bad lol. i just know it's not within spec.
