Wait a sec... RTV doesn't leak

Right? I've redone my my oil pan spacer at least 3 times. Can never get it right. I've measured blow by and it's min. Never had a problem with the Red RTV on exhaust components. Maybe that's what I'll use the next time.

About time SOHO posted their fix to head lift. It does has some disadvantages. Most common issue is it will eventually start leaking coolant at some point. Common issue with copper headgaskets. If that happens
it opens up a whole new can of worms. Everything has to come apart and be re-machined to fix it.

Well, was time to winterize the twins. F'n New England. Sigh, March/April they will come out again.

I have not been driving them really since the first time they laid salt here. Beginning of November. I did sneak the 370 out a couple of times when the ground was dry.

Never had the chance to winterize them and set up the car ports (have small heaters and dehumidifiers going on low). I paint corrected/ceramic coated the 370, wash/waxed the 350, Set up the battery tethers for winter.

The 350 paint needs some TLC. The paint correction on the 370 just makes the 350 look horrible. Thing is, I'm having clear coat issues on the 350's hatch and some clear coat milky-ness on the front driver and rear driver quarter panels. Might just be worth pulling everything apart in the spring, sand it down, and get a new paint job. Just hate to see a 350z nismo get repainted.

Only if it's not done properly

Seb called today. Supercharger got sent to vortech today (yea). Bad news is, Specialty Z will be shutting down for the holidays Wednesday of next week until after the first of the year. I told Seb I wanted to get my spare Ti trim volute and impeller back from vortech in case I decide to build my spare motor and then I could convert the blower back to the Ti spec. He said, you mean add FI tt's. He loves to fuk with me about going tt. But he's probably right, if I pulled the motor, why not throw turbos on it. It's not like I don't already have the fuel system to support them.
