Just got my account approved today, so this was a few weeks ago. For my first mod, I swapped to the 2015+ nismo front bumper on my 40th Annivserary Z. I'm just not a fan of the stock bumper.

Just made my largest purchase to date for the Z...

A full-on Akebono Sport brake kit with Nissan grey calipers, slotted rotors, StopTech pads, Z1 braided lines, and Motul 5.1 fluid.

Drove it to work, to do some boring non Z related stuff... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2172ff5707.jpg

Spent the weekend upstate in the Adirondacks enjoying the foliage change and the mountain and river roads. If only the weather had cooperated.

Here's a pic up at Tupper Lake, on a gray day, just hours before we hit the mother of all raccoons that evening.

Cracked the lip on the front fascia. Haven't had a chance to lift the car and look underneath.

I put some miles on her today. We headed out to St Pete and made our first stop at Treasure Island. Hung out on the beach a couple hours just walking around and taking pics. Then hopped back in the Z and went downtown where the St Pete Pier used to be, walked around, took pics and visited some of the little shops around the area.

This took us back 5-9 years ago when we used to live in St Pete. We used to go downtown and to the beach all the time. I miss those days. Hell, I miss living in St Pete!

All in all, it was a good day. Also, note to self... Don't go walking 6 miles in flip-flops. The balls of my feet are killing me!

Been driving to work past few weeks. Only thimg getting me through 11 hour days and 2 hour commute is racecar!

Ordered the last few bits for the brake job, which will be taking place next Wednesday...

Motive Power Bleeder 0117
Longacre 45202 Single Bottle Brake Bleeder Kit
Sunex 980906 10-mm by 12-mm Flare Nut Wrench

I wish I had discovered flare nut wrenches a long time ago. They’re freakin’ awesome.

I'm sure my friend that owns the shop here in town where we do all the work on my car has one or a full set, but just to be on the safe side, and to have my own, I ordered one. It was cheap enough so why not.

It's always a good thing to invest in tools. :tup:

I want to apologize for this picture as I didn't notice it until just now...

Those are some poor *** nappy looking palm trees right there. Damn! LOL

My Z would not start last night when i got off work at clinic in a dark empty parking lot. The doors would unlock but the dome lights would not come on. Closed the car again,locked it and tried again. No dice. Luckily my nurse was still in his car and had jumper cables. He jump started the car on the first try and was able to drive the 30 min drive home thank God. When i got home i powered off, locked the car and unlocked it and car started. Volt gauge read 14.

This morning before going to client session, tried to start the Z and it started. Just drove it today to clinic again and car running smooth today and last night on the way home.

Do you guys think this was just a glitch since started and running fine today? All i can think off is I drove w lights on and forgot to turn them off and battery drained. Gonna go out tonight 30 mins before i leave and start the car just to make sure it starts. If not will have to call pop-a-lock to get it jump started. If it does not start will just buy a battery tomorrow as i dont know how old this one is since i bought the car in May this year. No lights ever came on on the dash to indicate battery or starter may have issue.

Thanks in advance for any comments

Than

Get your battery tested. It couldve been just loose battery cable, and when you had it jumped, it corrected the connection.

^^^ Agreed, clean cables and connections.
