yea one of the guys at the parts dept. said the additives and what not can fug up the trannys. and thats its best to stick to the factory stuff in case they wana be a b1tch about warranty issues. im not even getting a short shifter until the 50k mile powertrain is up. :\

I DD mine got it with 4k last september and its at 11k but i drive my bike alot as well. its a though choice when the sun is out in washington its a miracle hard not to take the bike.

Mine is a great DD. I don't feel bad about it at all.

Changed the fluids over the weekend. Everything seems fine. Shifting is less notchy no whining noise from the rear. I noticed my car likes its oil checked between oil changes. Im usually a 1/4 qt low. There's no sign of leakage or anything. Anyone else adding oil?
Drove to ny w the Z and Dd here..is a nightmare. I DONT understand how anyone can drive anything nice without being paranoid. I went to parallel park and almost got the front end clipped by a woman who decided to pass. Good thing I stopped. Now she's looking at me like I have the problem.wtf..(That's just 1time I avoided getting hit ) Every single street has uneven pavement and the majority of the drivers are butt sniffers. 370z vs city streets equals fail.

I just picked up a Nissan frontier. I hate the roads here as well and very steep inclines. Now I can keep z nice and clean again and take it out when I want to.

To and from work 5 days a week or more. Love to baby it but it's meant to be driven.

Nismo63 · 10-06-2011, 03:27 PM

I drive mine every day until I save up and get a beater!

I understand the car is meant to be driven but my definition of "driven" seems to be different from others. "Driven" and commute, to me, are different things.

Amen

I use it for the commute except when there's snow or ice on the ground. So almost a DD.

We have an old Honda Element I drive on the days when the Z's summer tires aren't safe. It was my wife's DD forever, and it still has a purple skirted hula girl on the dash.

Will continue to DD mine until I get my FF5 Cobra done.

My Nismo is my mid-life crises toy. Something that I can play with.

For my DD. I got a Jeep GC. For pulling the camper and off-roading. I got a Dodge Power Wagon. Plus 2 motorcycles. Restoring one, and putting a supercharger on a Honda VFR.
