Upon morning inspection, the Acura is not near as bad as I expected. Definitely PDR worthy, which means the roof is probably ok as well. Already called insurance, and they will be sending out an adjuster to look at them later this week.

I just looked at the forecast, and there doesn't appear to be any more intense weather projected. Safe to drive the Z today I hope since it's time to go to work...

Thanks y'all

Yeah, YNN was talking about it all day. I just woke up, still feel like crap, going to check on the 350 on my way in.

Isn't that a TW channel? I'm not sure I get it on DirecTV. Either way, we haven't been watching TV hardly at all lately...

Wrapping the Z as a Christmas present so you can open it a few months later... I like it. Did you use one of those huge bows like in the Lexus commercials around Christmas time?

Didn't see any obvious dents on the 350. Was in a hurry though. Meh.

Mu, here's a link to a Rev D ESCL failing. IIRC this forum member had a Rev B fail, and replaced with Rev D under warranty. The Rev D then failed as well

I still maintain this TSB (or recall or whatever the fvck they're calling it) is a half-a$$ed solution by Nissan

ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues

Planning on doing a homebrew oil cooler and DIY similar to ModShack but with braided lines, but have noticed a sharp, consistent rise in my oil temp since the change.

Before the change I would run at 200F all day, maybe up to 210-215 when pushing it hard. Now on the full synthetic I'm consistently running around 210, getting up to 220-225 under higher revs.

I'm not super concerned since I plan on adding a cooler in the next month or so but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something major here - or if any of you have experience with this after the first change.

Oil levels are good, haven't seen or smelled any burn-off, everything else seems to be copacetic - any ideas/advice or am I just being overbearing?

me too

You are waaaay too on topic for me!
