What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

djc119 · 09-02-2019, 11:11 AM

Spent Sunday afternoon cruising the mostly empty farm roads in Columbia County in the Hudson Valley.

72,000+ miles, all stock, no CSC failure yet (or any other failure for that matter).

I still love this car as much as I did the day I got her!

and I will put all the measurements if someone going to make his own manifold

Oh so incase you didnt know on the tech version. You have 2 back up screens. 2 oil warning resets. 2 filter resets, 2 deactive tire resets and also 2 misc resets.

Drove it to and from work today. As a reward, gave her a nice bubble bath tonight. She is tucked in now for the night.

Went to my local muffler shop and had them do a muffler delete on my 17 Nismo.
It took them like 30 minutes and they even coated them with high temp black paint.

Very happy with it, especially for $100. I'll post a video and pics later.

Impressions: Everything is stock besides the muffler delete. Sound: It sounds really good at low RPM's, pretty deep. It's a lot louder than the factory HKS Nismo muffler but it does have a little bit of rasp. Don't mind it at all, since I like loud exhausts and well, I didn't buy a luxury car

Also installed an affordable Alpine android auto double din.

Local forum member hit me up last night. Looks like I'll be picking up the following parts this week:

Fortune Auto coilovers (13K/10K spring rates)
SPL Pro front end links
SPL Pro rear end links
SPL Ti rear camber arms
SPL Ti rear traction arms
SPL Ti rear toe arms

As some of you know my 2017 Nismo is automatic.
I wanted a fun summer weather daily which includes a 2 hr commute in Chicago traffic and I have 2 other manual cars.

Anyways, today I did the shift boot mod. The factory automatic gear selector looks so out of place and straight out of an Altima.

Found a cheap $9.50 boot on Amazon with matching Nismo suade and red stitching. Threw it on in 5 minutes. The quality of the boot seems to be closer to a $40 one lol.

Awesome. I sometimes go to Cars and Coffee or Thursday nights there's a small meet at Coffee Haus in Schaumburg. Let me know if you ever want to meet us up there.

mishuko · 09-05-2019, 09:00 AM

Going for a small roadtrip this weekend!

lexluther · 09-05-2019, 08:19 PM

Painted my factory Ray's semi gloss black. 3 coats of Rustoleum paint and 3 coats of clear. The polished parts were killing me. We'll see how it holds up.

Coilovers weren't supposed to happen until next summer. Then this happened today...
