Friend of mine drove home from Tampa, Fl. Car quite charging halfway through the trip. Well, no lights for him the rest of the way home. He made it. I got in the next day and he told me what happened. I tapped on it with a hammer and it started charging again. Hell, he taught me that trick. Not sure what he was thinking. LOL Went and got a new alternator anyway. It was my old car and I had bought a lifetime warranty alternator. This was alternator #3 for that 1978 280z. LOL

I'm still waiting for my high output alternator from DC Power to show up. :shakes head:

Brand new battery. Recent test showed 640 cold cranking amps. Should be more than enough. For peace of mind, awhile back I threw in another battery that was working fine in another car. No dice.

Not sure why but my right rear is wearing faster than my left... maybe tire pressure? Need to check that on the weekend when car is cold.

Well the right is at the bar, left a tad above bars. Hoping tires are in this week so i can light up my olds

Typically uneven wear for me just means I'm not driving it hard enough. The stock camber causes the insides wear much quicker than the outsides if just driving straight. I've found it just needs some regular hard cornering to keep the outside wear even with the inside wear ;) :driving:

Get the toe angle and pressure checked. Usually toe will kill your tires (cause uneven wear) before camber. I'm running -2.7 deg all around and my wear is even.

He has a Nismo VLSD. He is doing the one wheel peeler and doesn't know it.

Seems like Z1 has discovered the joys of just-in-time inventory, minus the just-in-time part.

Lol it was left tire vs right tire uneven wearing. The insides are def at wear bar and outsides got a tad bit before the bar.... oh well light em up!!!

Most likely pressure or alignment as abm noted...

Havent done alignment since i got the car. I generally do it once i get new tires. Am noticing a bit of high speed vibrations so its most likely a combo of what you said.

Lincoln Locker. That's going to put some stress on the axles.

I think you saw that last year my old z had an axle ripped out from the collision...

Next year i am probably going to look at getting the hd csc and whiteline diff bushings installed depending on budget...

I love the FI exhaust. Once warmed up its sooo good. Neutral wont do it. But down shifting or while in gear hitting 3k rpm and pulling off the gas i get a nice byop sound. Not as burbly as the bimmers or turbos but it doesnt seem forced.

Byop. Just the tip.
