So I know I have been gone for ages, and come back to find photobucket wants 400.00 a year to host my images??? Anyone know an easy fix for this? I imagine the thread is still a nice resource for new people.

Also Hi, lol

Also Hi, lol

Migrate them to a new hosting site. There is also a Chrome extension out there now that will let you personally view the pictures while it is active.

I know a lot of people used to follow this thread so this may help getting an answer on my other post here: Transmission Help

I tried to google the issue but without much luck.

*Update* Talked to Z1 Motorsports and the fix is simple. Just a couple oversights by the shop.

I miss being around as well. Went through some terrible depression for a while. It is getting better though. I pretty much walled off all parts of my life, this was a big one. I do lurk from time to time just to see what old timers are still around =D

Hotrodz · 12-17-2019, 05:31 PM

Sorry to hear that and happy that you are doing better! Nice to know you still have your Z and still invested enough to lurk, lol. It seems like you got good news in away about your clutch issue. Don't be a stranger check in and harrass us from time to ti time!

Final update hopefully on the issue. Dropped the car off Wednesday morning and went to pick it up late yesterday. When he called to tell me it was ready he said nothing was wrong and it was put back together exactly how Nissan shows it. That had me bothered because if it went back together the same way again, the problem would still be there.

So I picked it up drove it....same problem. The shop wanted me to come back Monday and look at it with them. So I called Z1 again and had them explain to me in detail what to do (luckily very simple just as mentioned before). I used a couple of their tools and fixed it in the parking lot before I left. Nothing had to be rotated or reassembled, the shop really did have everything together properly. I literally had to slide a metal plate like an 1/8” or less to the left.

I think they were just super nervous to be working on the car and wanted everything to be exactly as it was. To the point they were not understanding what I was trying to explain. Emphasizing that the parts on the car are not replaceable and the care I give it had them shook up lol

Little headache on both ends but now she is back to perfect. Now I can’t wait to get this clutch broke in and finally feel all the power that has been lurking behind a slipping clutch. Unfortunately as little as I drive it that could take a year! I’m going to try and force myself to take it everywhere though.

Spooler · 12-20-2019, 10:35 AM

Cool deal. Go out and have a big time in it. I know it is very hard to do. Just remember a little patina is expected. It's just memories the car shows of your enjoyment. It can all be fixed again if need be.

JARblue · 12-20-2019, 10:58 AM

Easy fixes are the best

Hotrodz · 12-20-2019, 04:48 PM

Yep, time to fall in love with her again. I know that I have tendency to not want drive my car anytime I do a detail on the car. What is equally funny is I have to detail the car before I go to a track event. Like it is a car show or something!

Car is for sale again. If nothing comes from it this time, it can just fade away in the garage for ever Lol. Finally got a new ride after years of waiting/shopping around. I really wish I liked the 400Z to stay in the family but I just really cant stand the front end of the thing. To many years all smashed into one design IMO. The side profile is good and the retro rear is outstanding, if they only could of kept that flow throughout the entire car.

For anyone curious the Corvette route was still one of my top choices next to a GTR. I couldnt get an allocation for a C8 or a GTR and I couldnt trust a used GTR no matter how hard I tried. So I had to keep shopping around until I found a Vette with virtually zero miles and optioned how I wanted it. After over 2 years it finally happened.

Took my pops for a spin the day after she got delivered. He was blown away by how nice of a job they have done on the C8. I dont fit well in the average demographic of the community but I dont mind I have been a hermit the last 8 or 9 years anyway lol. I have a list of mods lined up and some have already arrived and more on the way. It isnt as performance mod friendly as I had liked so im taking my time on that end. It will more than likely end up boosted

Mr&Mrs · 08-27-2022, 08:30 PM

So multiple car sales have fallen through. Last one a few weeks ago and I just have not relisted it yet. So far I have done a few visual mods to the vette, CF interior accents, and badge delete. I put in a set of Paragon Performance concave mirrors with glare reduction. Blind spots are a beast in a mid engine car. I just put a deposit on a Callaway Supercharger kit but not sure how it will pan out. It was just shown this weekend at a huge Vette meet that happens yearly. I spoke with them on the phone and was told it works with HTC's but a bunch of forum members are saying it does not, and some are saying you have to have it factory installed on a new car. I was told on the phone that they are doing a "second chance" program for prior purchased C8s though. I hope it works out because you keep the factory warranty with Callaway. If not I will end up going TT. Still may go TT if the kit doesnt produce power at least close to the Z06.

Mr&Mrs · 08-31-2022, 11:00 AM

***Sold*** Bitter sweet moment. Im happy about the person who purchased it and what they have planned. But man watching the old gal drive away was like sending a kid off. Not to mention DAMN she fine! You dont ever get to see how good it looks when driving it.
