I have no idea. its a iphone 5s.

That's is true. No ice mode for us. There's no doubt we are hitting over 1g under braking. Especially at Road Atlanta T10

you guys are lucky !! :tup:

I would have kept it thought if it wasn't for this.

going to St Louis to buy a Z31 this week, I think

Just bought the racecar's great grandfather

1986 GLL trim, everything works and is all original. 94000 miles.

It looks super clean, congrats can't wait to see what you do with it.

I loved that 90 1/2 model they came out with the same year as the next generation model.

keeping it stock, other than maybe putting on some 18" enkei raijin wheels that have lying around. Not sure what color they should be though. Defnitely not the black that they are now.

What are you going to do with it? Backup track car while you work on the 370? Weekend cruiser / roadtrip machine? Also, is that the NA or Turbo one? I'm not enough of a Z31 enthusiast to even tell from the pics :)

i'm just curious... now that you've towed with the Cayenne a bit more, what do you think of it compared to the full size SUV's you were using before?

Its NA. Just plan on taking it to Zdayz and driving it to work once or twice a month when the weather is nice.

It tows MUCH better than either the expedition or tahoe. Going up and over hills on the highway with the cruise set to 82mph, you barely even notice it downshifting to 7th gear and it just hold the speed rock steady. Diesel FTW! I've got 6 9 hour plus days towing with it, plus a couple 7 hour days and you never feel tired at the end of the day.

Very nice. Nissan is looking to put Cummins diesels in the next Titan for sure and possibly the Frontier as well (it would make sense if you are going to invest in diesel training to do it for more than one vehicle). Depending on the price of both and how they turn out in reliability and cost of ownership, one of those two may end up being a replacement for the StormFront in the future. I know what you mean about the comfort, too. My GXP is very comfortable and makes for a great road trip car, the primary function of it for me.

Side note: it's funny how many people I've met in the GM crowd down in ATL that know who you are or have already done business with you.

Do they have a good life or break all the time like some German cars?

^ There's nothing wrong with German cars, no more so than any car. Cars are way too complicated to hope for perfection, but some are better-engineered than others.

Nice looking Z31! Wasn't a huge fan of them until the trip to Japan last fall... Now I want one. :)

Other than the radio randomly going to full volume for no reason 3 different times, we've had no problems in the first 23000 miles.

Also, aside from the fuel pump in my wife's Z4 going out right after we got it, it too has been trouble free for 4 years now.

transmission went out at Daytona. after 1/2 a lap, the car wouldn't downshift. Sometimes it would grind and sometimes it just wouldn't go into gear. felt like I was moving the shift lever up against a brick wall. It had been grinding in 4th for the last several events, and getting a little worse, so its off to Z1 for a new transmission. Apparently, Nissan is on Rev. 9 on the trans with better syncros and stuff and I have a Rev 1. The one I'm getting is out of a 12 or 13 nismo with only around 2500 miles on it.

sucks to hear man, but on the Brightside, your new trans should be better (rev 9) than the old one. And on a selfish note, that must mean our nismo has the newest improved trans as well so that's good info to find out. :)

Mike, nows the time for a sequential! :yum:

just a little over the budget ;)

speaking of, just priced out SPL everything for the suspension off of spl's website, not looking for sales etc just yet and it's $4182. :eek: will do some stuff in small stages but fvck me.

Budget..........what budget! When you're have fun. Who cares. :rofl2:

It's better to ask for forgiveness, then to ask for permission. LOL

Do it in stages like me. Front first. Then the rear. ;)

but I've got an 86 Z undergoing a full repaint at the moment too.

The more things you own. The more things own you. :eek: :icon14:

That blows. Makes me feel good about a 13 then.

Is the 'rev' stamped on the casing or do you have to figure it out some other way?

It should be stamped on the part number, they are usually something like CD40323-0000x, although this particular part number is totally made up for example purposes.

I haven't looked at mine, but I have a fairly early 09

Mine is an early 09 as well. MFG date of like May 08 or something.

Sigh.

Same here! double sigh - let's just stay away from daytona and we should be fine!

Its been notchy and not smooth shifting for a while, and 4th has also been grinding slightly for about a year.

Seems like it was on its way out. Daytona just sped up the inevitable. We should start a pool to bet what parts will break on your car when you go to Daytona :p

my other Z. Fresh from repaint and new shoes.

Looks amazeballs.

Not much to add, since the build is finished and just tracking it now. Last May I replaced the transmission and last week embarked on rebuilding the brakes.

I also recently had the diff cooler rewired from a thermostat switch to an on/off switch.

Had a frozen bleed screw on a front caliper, and it broke off in place. Ran the caliper through the burn off oven as that usually frees up whatever corrosion is holding it up and tried to use an easy out to get what was left out, but it was still frozen and the easy out busted off inside the hole.

So, I ordered a new caliper for $1000 :(

Ouch! :(

Do you have AP Racing? They have a service where they'll remove broken ones and check / fix threads

no, stoptech

nothing new to post for a while
 

as the car is all done. But, I picked up my new trailer for it yesterday. 8.5x20 with a side awning, and 4' dragster ramp flap on the rear door for easy loading and a winch installed.
