I received the base wheels I bought for snow tires this weekend. Now I just need to decide on studless or performance winter tires. I live in central Missouri so we don't always get a lot of snow and ice but we do sometimes. I'm probably going to end up going performance but we'll see. I read that Fall is the best time to buy winter tires so I have some time.

I'm also contemplating some spacers, thinking the standard 15/20 or 15 all around as I'm also thinking I want to try the 265 front/285 rear when I need new summer tires. I currently have PS AS/3s on there with a fair bit of tread and haven't had any traction issues. I'm debating PS4S vs Indy 500. At about $360 less with very similar ratings on Tirerack it's very tempting to try them out. That said, it will be at least a year, more than likely, before I need new tires.

I need to clean her up and take some pics but I'm lazy.

I dropped the Z off at WRteknica today for a full race suspension setup for running time trials in NASA. I think I went to the right shop!

About a week or so late on posting this, but, went ahead and swapped out the factory clutch pedal assembly for an earlier version RJM kit (big thanks to V8KILLER on this site.)
Can't believe I waited as long as I did owning this car and not making this the very first mod I did. *

I bought a fancy Litespeed Titanium intake one of only a handful I've seen I saw a post somewhere that said only 25 were ever created. shout-out to Amelio1217 for selling it to me.

Did my own headlights with some good quality lightings as I didn't like the morimoto ones. They looked like traffic lights on my Z.

So I installed some AAM resonated Ti short tails on the 370z nismo. Posted a couple days that i had mixed feelings. There is some 2,800 RPM drone that almost makes me cringe. Its like a subwoofer going off in my ear. Hatch vibrates too.

I LOVE the WOT sound. My first thought was... how do I get rid of this damn drone. My old man is a vette guy, has a c7 and c6. They have butterfly/active baffled exhausts. I could fab up something similar... although, i'm going FI TT, so i guess it's just a waste of time.

Anyone try to calm the drone on the short tails?

I added a bunch of additional sound deadening material (dynamat-type stuff) in the rear spare tire well area, as well as underneath the plastic trim on the hatch, and even some on the exterior above where the short tails sit on that flat part of that trunk bottom. (Underneath the little aluminum shield piece if you still have it.) It has helped significantly with keeping things quiet in the cabin. Although for my setup the drone is more in the 3k-3,200rpm area and is only momentary/transient so it's not too bothersome, but the extra sound insulation definitely helps. YMMV.

Drove the Z to the office. My quite neighbors came over and asked me if I knew my inspection sticker was expired. Yes, I'm aware it expired 11/17

Ben370 · 04-20-2021, 08:51 PM

Removed my rusted cat studs with a ball joint tool and replaced them with nuts and bolts.

BettyZ · 04-20-2021, 10:53 PM

Finally got a tracking # from COMP for the snail. Arrives friday. Every other aspect of the install is complete except for leak testing. FINALLY.
