dont worry brotha im running on my reserves thanks to the damn clutch issue....

still not enough flow to get her running yet..... i crossing my fingers on this side job im doing this saturday hopefully i make enough so i can begin fixing my z..... in other news.... lookie what i finally got my hands on!!!! a password jdm V2 with a red anodized ring and 6speed engraved!!!! woooot wooo thanks to cherisicat for the knob... awesome seller and great packing btw.... i know these knobs are pretty "rare" i know you can get them in gray dark gray and black but not red

thats why i was stoked to snatch this knob when the time came by luckily.... you guys know how much i kill for red mods lol

the third and last pic is a pic of the 3 knobs i have.... i regret selling my nismo shift knob.... i miss it.... the round one is a titanium shift knob from fortune auto

i worked on some guys rim and he didnt have enough to pay me we made a deal and i agreed to get the knob

reminds me of an arc but brighter

ill put it on when i feel like it or when i finally get the rear titanium brace for my z.... i still want a hebi bebi knob....just for the hell of it... and id like to build a shift knob holder of some sort for the cubby hole... ( i have like 4 pending projects id like to do but im always so busy it sucks

) i tend to get really bored with my shift knobs and ive realized ill just keep a collection so when im tired of it ill just switch it to another one i wanna use

i know i know im retarded and silly.....

so we worked on my z today.... and guess what it WAS the master.... man the clutch feels so new again.... real smooth.....

anyways i think i know why it gave out... all im gonna say is if you didnt bleed ur clutch fluid yet BLEED IT!!!! there was so much crap in my lines and master it was ridiculous.... we did a gravity bleed first and then we went crazy bleeding all the black stuff out... we went through about half the bottle of some synthetic DOT4 then bleed it again with some MOTUL RBF 600 good stuff.... i was gonna install the clutch SS line but i decided to hold off until my TWM SS comes in well do it again and rebleed the system to make sure all that crap is outa the system... i was really suprised with how much dirt was in there at 10k.... my company trucks put this car to shame.... they have more than 40k on them and the clutch fluids arent as dirty as the Z

anyways changing it out wasnt to bad... i did have a hell of time fitting under my dash..... ive never experienced so much flexibility in my entire life.... those two nuts are high up in there and pretty much so much crap blocking it from either side including this massive plate thing. I dont even know what the point of that plate blocking the two nuts were for.... a swivel is definitely ur best friend on this one....

anyways looks like i dodged the bullet.... so back to modding for the Z!!!!

LMBmikeZ · 03-09-2013, 06:48 AM

That's awesome bro, glad you got things fixed up

KaienZ34 · 03-09-2013, 07:25 AM

Back in the saddle again.

GaleForce · 03-09-2013, 07:37 AM

Great news.

simota1 · 03-09-2013, 02:54 PM

thanks guys

im just happy i can drive her again.....

simota1 · 03-10-2013, 04:58 AM

so my silicone cap offs finally came in last week and since my dad is off island i got some free time on my hands... i did a throttle body coolant delete mod... basically it warms up your throttle body so it dont freeze shut during winter.... it never gets cold on guam and i really would like to eliminate as much useless crap there is in our engine bay so this was one of them

the demon hose between the firewall and block wasnt as horrible as i would have imagined..... it did however take me about 30 mins to tighten the stupid hose clamp down there.... and my hand was cramping from the akward position i had to be in to tighten it... you absolutely cannot see wth your tightening but other than that everything is easy as pie.... i opted for silicon caps over rubber ones because they last longer

and silicone is the way to go

if anyone is interested i can post a link where i got it....

here is the link to WSTAR DIY
