thx mr. mu. that's my 5" nuvi with the ecoRoute HD module running the gauges from the OBD2 port via wireless. :) it's like scanguage but 1000000x cooler and more modern.

just get a nuvi that supports the ecoRouteHD and the module, and you're set. my nuvi also supports bluetooth and traffic, but i only run the ecoRouteHD since i have BT on my HU. and for traffic, well, i dont motor my Z in traffic so i dont use it. :icon17:

Tire pressure warning came on on my drive in this morning. :rolleyes:

Guess I'm going to have to make a stop on the way home. Laaaame.

Nothing looks flat or low, but better safe than sorry. Plus, I don't like the Christmas tree look I have going on over there with all of the lights. :icon17:

LMBmikeZ 07-08-2013 12:23 PM

Any spirited drives recently? That can lower your pressure.

Hey there :hello: Good luck on Sat :tiphat:

Sorry to see that photo of your rear spat in the On Topic thread :(
I have not even considered lowering the Z - I already have to angle entry into my driveway at stock height :ugh2:

Pintsize725 07-08-2013 12:38 PM

I wish people knew it was OK to slow down in blinding rain on the highway. Passed two accidents on the way home for lunch. :shakes head: Oh and screw the effers who drive in that without their lights on! (wrong thread I know)


Other than that, how is everyone doing?! :hello:

I've been eyeing an Evo-R rear diffuser(sp?). Also the mirrors....

haboobz- you need to check using a tire pressure gauge. low profile tires might appear okay, but could be low. :D

or you have a faulty tpms sensor. :ugh: lol'ed at xmas tree lights.

Yeah, I am going to stop by my Dad's house on the way home. He's got an air compressor and everything - I'm not gonna go pay $.75 for some air.

Though QT air is free, I just don't have a gauge in my car at the moment.

since this is your only car, how about getting a 12v air pump and just keep it in the trunk at all times? :)

May be a good idea. Would it fit in with the spare? I'd hate for something to be flying around in there without any way to secure it. :icon17:

You must be getting actual rain :icon17: We got a 10 min downpour a few hours ago, but nothing substantial since. I contemplated turning my lights on when I was out at lunch - it wasn't raining and was bright enough for me to want my sunglasses, so I figured I was ok without them.

I received this as gift that is pretty nifty. The gauge has a dial that you can rotate to a specific PSI where the pump will turn off once it reaches that pressure, and it came with both AC and DC cords. Though it is a bit bulky, I have put it behind the passenger seat on long trips before. The seat has to be slid forward just a little but can lean back just fine.

I use that one in the garage since it is 120v power. I have a different one in my G that run on 12v :)

I can never win with Avis. This week, my Ford Edge rental shakes like a massage chair going down the highway at 75mph. Heading back to the airport after work to exchange. I think I'm going to ask for an Infiniti M37 upgrade for my troubles.

Yeah, they're all the same. I especially hate the bolded ones. Their cars and customer service are terrible.

I have been having good luck with National -- low mileage cars are easily available -- I had one a few weeks ago with 19 miles on it. It was a Challenger and I completely disregarded break in protocols during the 300 mile I put on it.

Speaking of rain...
50% chance of a thunderstorm every day this week (month?) but I'm still gonna wash the Z anyway. Last weekend's adventure has her nose covered in protein. I'm talking about a lot of bugs on the front of my car, not bukkake you perverts!
Did I mention I was at Victory while an episode of Brew Dogs was being filmed? Yeah, I might be on TV.

clearly none of you have ever spun records... :facepalm: :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl: :gtfo2: till you know what you are talking about :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

A) She's not spinning records.

B) Every time she turned a dial, moved a slider, whatever nothing changed.

We have to rent Avis unfortunately. For the most part, their cars have been good, I typically get a car with less than 3,000 miles and decently equipped. It's the customer service that gets me. Half the time my name isn't on the preferred board when I get there and I have to check in at the desk. Two weeks ago they didn't check in the car I returned AND rented another one to me the following Monday. I call in and the lady said I had two active rentals....uhh hello? :rolleyes:

They gave me a Chevy Equinox once with 2miles on the Odometer. I returned it with 250miles. I also floored it out of the lot :D. Drive it like you stole it break in style.
