Tooled around to a few cars n coffee, cruisin shows, and muscle shows in the area. Then jumped on Hwy 50 by Orlando, and I-4 and went looking for trouble hehehehe

Basic sitting in traffic, waiting for an opening dropping and flying through moving slalom mostly. But then... I hit I-4...

Best one was a BMW 850i that kept trying to block me in with traffic we were creeping on - he was in left, I was center. first 2 times I dropped and got in front of him and back to center, just having fun. 3rd time, let him block me, dropped gears, second he passed and snapped to left, back to center and blew past him. I'm pretty much stock at this point, so he couldn't have been trying too hard lol. But he did roll up and we got smiles and thumbs up rolling. Both guys in late 30's/40's just out to enjoy. Fun times with fun drivers.

Today was a good awakening I need to move up an oil cooler in my list of to-do's. 63 degrees out and I was running 220-230 while zipping in traffic and pulling off red light stops. would take 20-30min regular driving to get temps back to 180-190 range. Not gonna work well when summer heat hits, and FI TDX and HFC hit in March with a tune, so won't wanna be sally driving much after that!

I'm looking forward to my annual bonus hitting next month and putting the 34 row oil cooler on. I've had a few incidents of missing 3rd and getting 5th when calling on the oomph, so I've been seeking opportunities to practice the 6-3 shift. (when you call on oomph and are at lower speeds, 2nd is obviously easy to hit as it is on the far left and quite frankly I doubt that I will ever use 4th gear in anger)

Once I get the cooler in I can finally do the last stage of my "get acquainted with your car" routine that I've used with my last three manual transmissions: Taking first up to the redline and then staying on the top of the revs (5k-7.5k in this case). Without the additional cooling the car can't be operated this way for long enough to get familiar. Both on the road and in sim racing, I tell speed and shift points more by sound than reading gauges (keeps my eyes on the road).

Used to be you waited until the valves floated before you grab the next gear. :driving: :eek:

i slid twice on ice going to work. first time I was sideways.

Washed and waxed... Anyone notice that you piss fewer people off if you weave through traffic with a clean car rather than a dirty one.

Drove the Z to work today :driving:

I think mine is in a Tide commercial somewhere.

Did Y-Back exhaust, courtesy of ISR Performance. Thing roars and makes the gurgle and crackle noises :)

Installed the JDM Foglight. Courtesy of forum member Eagle. Looks much nicer than the smoked one on a black car.

Changed the spark plugs, boy were they black.. Car runs much better now.

Did a throttle body bypass since my hoses were rotted and leaking.

Installed the Cipher Auto harness bar. Thing should be renamed to the GhetooAuto harness bar. Thing had the worst instructions for something Ive ever seen. And was a total bitch to get in.

My 2010 Nismo just clicked 106,000 thousand miles :driving:

Damn! Over 100 million miles! ;)

Thank you my brother:tup:

Still enjoying the Z06? My wife is pushing me to get one of those instead of boosting my Z. It has been H E double hockey sticks at my house lately. :eek2:

Yes sir.. As its a totally different sports car.. Your wife maybe onto something :icon17: .. I still cherish my 2010 Nismo and plan on keeping it for many years of driving ahead :driving:

Like I have said before. It's better to ask for forgiveness, then for permission.

Buying her a Grand Sport sure has backfired like a MF'er.

How many inches from the front of the hood is the center vent?

Just got these in the mail today.
Z1 2 Piece front rotors.
Went with EBC yellowstuff for the pads.
I wanted to run out to the garage, crank up the stereo, and get to work installing everything so bad today but I have way too much studying to do :(

Additional Specs on these rotors that aren't listed on Z1:
Directional (48) vane venting
Appears to be manufactured by Brembo but designed and made for Z1 motorsports

The brilliant silver guys are up two on all others except for the except for Eagle's Red Nismo.

15”... Comes with templates and good instructions.

I can honestly see that these vents will extract much more heat than my existing vented hood. The big plus is how much lighter the OEM hood is vs the aftermarket ones.

It’s all about the weight reduction :tup:

I have the vents too. It just looks more then 15" in the pic's.

Yep, looks like maybe it's 15" from the windshield in that pic. http://www.naxja.org/forum/images/smilies/anon.gif

What tires you run in the front?

Pilot Super Sport.

Picked up my son an introduction to the addiction. Needs a lot of cosmetic love but she is fully functional. Sheet metal is cheap. Anyone need a super sweet wang? Ha! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...228fcc25ef.jpg

I have been running Pilot Super Sports on my 370Zs since they first came out in 2011. I am switching to the Pilot Sport 4 S next month.

What size front and rear? How do you like the4s?

I have 4s too. First time for Michelin so I cant give an accurate review other than I like them.

Enjoying the last week of having power and heated seats before throwing in a bucket

Getting ready to gear up on some Bridgestone Potenza RE760s this weekend.

A tire that I do not see a lot of love for (nor hate, so a good thing!) and I love them.

Reasonably priced for the performance (imo, stock size @ $1,037 installed o.t.d. from BJ's) and from the same family that brings us the stocker RE050s and the RE-11s.

Pops threw them on his 350z a few years back and has become our go-to tire.

Try Continental you wouldn’t even remember bridgestone anymore. But thats my opinion.

K&N Drop ins, ISR post maf tubes, and a Stillen catback. Drove stock, with drop ins, drop ins/post paf tubes, then drop ins/post maf tubes/Stillen catback and the butt dyno approves. Power aside, the throttle response and sound alone make it 100% worth it and it pulls so much more aggressively up top.
Getting BF Goodrich Pro Sport Comp 2s installed right now as we found severe cracks and dry rot in the stock tires. I had the Comp 2s on one of my Miatas and it seemed like a good balance.

got new gaskets for my cats. By any chance, does anyone know what size press-in studs I'd need if I didn't want to use a nut and bolt combo anymore?

:tup:

Eric - I would have stuck with PSS if it were available locally but it's been discontinued. Not a lot out there. TireRack has 2 but with shipping it would be close to a pair if 4Ss. That's why I ended up with it. It has grip and definitely an update to the PSS (I had 2 sets already). Tread pattern seems aggressive, shoulders are more rounded, and more $$$ when compared to PSS. Again, these tires have GRIP! I'd say it is overkill on a DD N/A Z.

where are the stickers? and body kit?? I mean ya, sheet metal is cheap but hey homedepot/lowes and you got a sweet @$$ ride bro! btw... that thing have VTEC? wait til THAT kicks in!

:stirthepot: couldn't resist lol tell the kid only fartsd like me tell em to say thank you and be appeciative and learn or we'll hunt em down for a thwak up the head - not everyone has a Dad nice enough to help em out at first

I'll have to get a photo of the headlights for you......
