Stillen Stage 3 exhaust arrived...
this is going forward, but it will be slow

Got the Z back from Nissan body shop and the roof looks great and the spots are gone along with a bunch of other marks... THANK YOU NISSAN...

Now how to keep the roof looking that good

It looks brand new again

Into May, and things are looking good, the Recaro seats should be here by June, which means I have to start looking at how to put them in or install them and figure out the electrical stuff

FI exhaust may be here sooner than I thought, so time to look for a header...

Took another trip to Atlanta, Knoxville, Atlanta and actually saw 2 other 370z on the way back.... very rare to see another Z, maybe because the weather is nice..

Most surprising item, on one trip, (i take 411, nice slow/no traffic/where speed limit is 35-55) and the Z along that road got 30.5 MPG, talk about amazing, that I was able to drive the speed limit and get the MPG

danegrey · 05-10-2016, 02:15 PM

very pleased with the MPG average 29.5 round trip from knoxville to Atlanta an back

you can always google 370z B-Pillar and get lots of links,
these came from zcarparts.com, with shipping about 145.00. Prices vary greatly on these, based on where you get them.

Another round trip to atlanta and back last weekend, will be glad when the schedule gets back, but MPG was 28.9, very pleased... always helps to save gas, then you can go fast at another time

Interesting week from Knoxville to atlanta to Ft Bragg to Knoxville, about a 1000 miles on the car, average over 26 mpg, just cursing a bit above the speed limit....
It made me remember a quote that I use. Always I believe is to drive it hard and then drive it harder, (always in safe conditions), but the other is hard to follow. Remember you bought it to DRIVE IT
So much worried over mileage and value, the truth is -- the Z needs to be driven and driven hard for the car lives for it

Nice build so far!

The Z store also has these Jay and is local to us here in Cali. If I was to order parts in the morning and they were in stock they would be in the mail that day and at my place the next afternoon. If they are out of stock and you order they'll give you the option of a refund or to have free shipping on the second/late shipment.

Thanks G. I'm wondering whether I should buy these first or the side blades

danegrey · 06-04-2016, 04:20 PM

Nothing exciting today, just wash the car and got it looking shiny and new...

danegrey · 06-09-2016, 04:05 AM

Got some good news last night, the Recaro Seats that I order will be here next week. Finally after 4 months the seats will be here next week.

then the fun and excitement of getting them installed begins.....

danegrey · 06-11-2016, 07:27 AM

GF and I were eating at our popular site and saw 2 other 370Z...
chuckled to myself... since it is so rare to see them out and about
