Definitely man, same here :tup:

especially on that road....

good meeting everyone yesterday. Looking forward to the next drive.:tup:

Hey, I've been checking the forums about the clutch on the Z. Has anyone changed out the helper spring on their clutch?

I was debating on doing this. If you or anyone has done it let us know what you think!

Does anybody know if MO requires us to keep the emission inspection sticker on our windshields?

safety...no emissions

i'm talking about the GVIP sticker. that's actually the only sticker i have on my windshield from my safety inspection

John...........long time no see. How is everything going. This is Les from the St Louis 3S group. So you have a Nissan now?

Anyone driving their black 370 this evening on Clarkson near Kehrs Mill with Illinois plates?

Yeah you have to have a safety and emissions sticker. Sometimes they are both on same sticker. I'm a safety emissions inspector at work so if you need it done and live around lake st. Louis I can do it for you

^^ thx, good to know (repped). i was just wondering if i could move it so it didn't clash with a decal ;)

here's a few pics from our last meet. in total, seven Z's showed up. it was a great time!

Hey sfearl

There's a really good deal on a set of sport rays for sale on here I just saw. You might want to let your buddy who was looking for them know....I think like 850 for the set....

Corbin09 is the seller

on it! thanks for the heads up :tup:

Any of you guys looking for the stock shift knob I have one available...in excellent condition! PM me. Thanks!

Hey now! Talk about long time no see. Yep, sold my VR-4 last April. Wife and I are now Z'ers

We both love the car. 2010 Mag black Touring with Sport Package 7 speed AT.

Miss the VR, but don't miss the problems.

LOL..any 90's boosted car is always a work in progress. I think I fix something on my Z32 once every other month.

Yep, and I still miss it. I have not worked on a car since I sold her. :(

Here is a link with some info and a story on my old car

John Gibson's "Jerggy13" 92 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 - 3SI Wiki

So I got some blizaks for winter tires on the z...... It only snowed twice what a waste of money. Now time to get some more tires. Thinking of get some re-11s

I'm with you all the way on RE-11s. I would like to pick up a set.

I was planning on going with continentals...

I get 35% off of the re11 but still cost alot

AD08s are just as good too!

I still looking at conti dw's for a little over a grand at tire rack. I have a guy who gets a bit of a discount from then and he'll give me his cost. So it should help a bit...

I hate buying tires.....lol

Hopefully I'll have my springs and spacers before I need tires so I can do one alignment with all the new stuff

When ever you need an alignment you can bring it to me to do

FWIW....

A couple of years ago, I replaced the worn-out, summer-only high performance OEM Goodyear Eagle F1's on my wife's Pontiac Solstice GXP with Conti DWS's. Not the DW's, the DWS's. It was her DD, we live in central Illinois, and so we wanted something that might stand chance in the snow.

The DWS's were far quieter than the (admittedly worn out) F1's, the ride quality improved, dry cold performance was much better (F1's were hockey pucks in the cold), hydroplane resistance was phenomenal (F1's were spooky...), and ground clearance was the only limiting factor for driving in the snow. The only drawback was warm/dry handling; the DWS's weren't quite as crisp as the F1's in spirited driving situations. No traction issues, but slightly more sidewall flex that you could feel on turn-in. My wife couldn't tell the difference, but I could. We traded in the GXP 15k miles later (car was falling apart at 45k miles...), and the treads still looked great. Considering they made the car a much nicer DD, with the bonus of actual usability in light snow, it was money well spent.

Anyway... when the stock Advan's wear out on my Z, I will likely replace them with DWS's because my Z is my DD, even in winter. But I'd definitely consider the DW's as a summer-only replacement based on my experience with the DWS's.

Good luck!

How often should one's Z get an alignment?

Augustus...
Thanks for the review. My Z is a daily driver too unless the weather is that bad then I just grab my parent surburban they never drive. I know winters been light in stl this year so I've driven on summer rubber all wonter(I know not the best). I'm looking forward to the conti's now

I'm looking at 255/35/19 front 285/35/19 in rear with a 15mm fr/20mm rear spacer set up. And swift springs
Any thoughts?

White370j. Where is your shop? I just might have to give you a buzz when I get everything. What do you think about the above setup?
I'm a little worried it won't align wth out adjustable cambers...

When ever you do suspension work and at least 2 a year

Im at a firestone in lake st. Louis. Off n and 40 and if your car is lowered we have no problem getting it on our alignment rack its an in ground one.

Hmmm. Pardon my ignorance... twice a year for every sort of vehicle or just Z's in particular?

My Z is the first higher-performance RWD car I've ever owned, so I would expect that it would get a little more TLC than an Accord. And I totally understand the need for an alignment after suspension changes or if you hit a big pothole or something. But twice a year for normal wear-and-tear?

Historically, I get my cars alignment checked when I buy new tires. Perhaps this is a mistake on my part! I've never had a shop comment that I was out of alignment over the normal ~40-50k range that all-season's seem to last. Maybe all this time I could have been getting 80K out of them! :bowrofl:

So discounted alignments for Z's at your shop? I'm there! :)

I personal would do it more and like you said everytime you get tires to have it checked. I check mine all the time when i get bored.
And i can get you a little discount and if you buy a life time alignment you pay once and every time you want it done/ checked its free. Just let me know when your coming up

can you pm me some prices for the RE-11s

have 23k on the bridgestones. they are about done!

I would like to bring the car to someone on the forum. At least I know my wheels wont get all jacked up

Let me know what size you need I will see what I can do

Hey I passed by that firestone off N today.. I saw a Grey Z there.. that yours?
