might be a good time to swap clutch too since you track your car?

@ nismo and GTR laps

40K is nothing... I should be able to get 150K miles on the stock clutch using SRM. I usually drive easy (not necessarily slow, but I don't gun it everywhere) but when I do get on it, it's pretty hard with high revs and fast corners. The problem is I think the CSC has to be replaced every time the transmission is dropped - I cannot confirm whether this is true or not with the Z1 CSC. If that's the case and it's not covered under Nissan warranty, I can use my 3rd party 100K mile warranty and get a new clutch and new CSC for $500 deductible. If covered by Nissan, I'll just get their CSC (they won't replace the clutch under warranty) and then when it fails again, I'll have more miles and hopefully close enough to needing clutch replacement that I'll go ahead and do the aftermarket replacement. I don't plan on doing lots of tracking or anything. The Nismo Performance Academy was a fairly sudden opportunity, and I jumped on it. Worlds of thanks to Mr. Gurneyeagle for hooking me up with one of his friends as their guest

Well I know the engine starts pulling timing somewhere around 250F oil temps (not sure exactly where or how much), but full limp mode is like 300F and you can't rev past like 3500 RPMs or something.

CSC = clutch slave cylinder. A common failure in the manual Zs.

Looks a little darker, but maybe it's because it was clean and the others dirty.

I'm satisfied.

Good news!

Package from Adam's arrived

2x Mystery Box orders netted me 16oz All-Purpose Cleaner (always a good thing to have - I only have a 4oz sample size bottle left), 16oz Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner (good for both car and house fabrics), some detailing swabs, and a roll of detailer masking tape. Pretty good haul for $20 IMO

This thread moves so fast! Welcome August, please be less wet than July.

I'm ready for the heat and humidity to go away so I can get a quarter mile or two clocked.

Got an interview tomorrow. Probably won't work out though since it turned out to be on the opposite side of town. I didn't know that when I sent my resume.

Go in with a positive attitude pint. It could turn out to be the best job you ever had. You just never know.

Good Luck!

Melody was working close to home, daily commute against traffic, all highway, and had a beautiful 370Z MT to drive

Then her job hired a new a-hole manager, and her work became hell. Her new job is absolutely the opposite in many ways - not public accounting, almost completely stress-free, opposite side of town, and drives through some of the worst traffic in town (360). She had to give up the manual because of the traffic, but she absolutely loves not hating her job. And since you have an AT, you don't have to worry about giving up the car

Thanks guys. I'm going to be positive, at the very least it's practice I need.
