I need to order them. Step one is to spend today paying bills and seeing what the trip damage was! I have a bit of tread left on the stock tires and was thinking that 91 octane and streets would be a good learning platform since there will be a lot of tire spin. No sense burning through a set of Hankook R-S3's to start.

Good luck!

I live there. If you see a PW Z driving around, it's me. Only Z around for 100 miles (except for the guy who bought my old one).

350? 350? Nismo? Sport?

I hate people that do that. If i see another Z or G owner, i typically will give you a wave and cruise with you rather then try and hot rod/impress the other driver by being an idiot.

370z sport for sure..not sure if it was touring or not..or the year. I was only able to look at the side and the rear.

Default New Tires

Got some new Goodyear Assurance Comfort treads. It's a nice soft ride. Still corners fine.

Default NAV Upgrade..

Hey got notice of a NAV upgrade . - A recall by Nissan. I'm scheduled on 8/21 for my service. Those that have NAV should also check on this - just talk to your local Nissan dealer.

I'd relay my opinion of Nissan's navigation maps but I can't fart loud enough.

I'll never waste the $150 on Nissan maps when I can buy a better, more user-friendly navigation tool for $2 from the App Store and get real-time maps and traffic info.

Now...if that $150 map upgrade included a firmware update that would allow me to run CarPlay on my nav system, then I'd gladly shell out the money. Somehow, I don't think Nissan will be very enthusiastic about CarPlay, or at least about retrofitting it.

Thanks Brian and David for hanging out Saturday. Was great seeing you both. Who could have thought a UD pulley install would be such a PITA?

Very happy with the day though. Car runs great, feels great, and still with the factory Nismo tune. I think it was made for the bolt-ons to be added

Hey, had a great time hanging out. Might have felt differently if it was my car! What did it take...8 hours? Unreal. But yeah, that Nismo tune is pretty impressive. No idea why all our cars don't come with it.
