I have been wanting to change them since I bought my Z, not a fan of the OEM ones.

Well damn that photo and your car are epic

No matter the age of the 370Z, the curves and shape of this car will never be obsolete/outdated.

It's been a while.

Just sold my daily. Using the cash to fix up my Z. Targeting the following parts at 143K + track days:

Water Pump
Thermostat
Timing chain, tensioner, and guides
Oil Gallery Gaskets
Silicone coolant hoses

I thought about the ATI super Damper but i dont NEED it.
I also read thru the threads on upgraded oil pumps. also looks like i dont need it but ill trust my OEM one is fine for now. Oil pressure reads well within spec still with original gaskets and pump.

If i can sell the Advans off my old Subaru, I may get something special...

Oil change. Dealer was saying Nissan discontinued Ester oil so recommended Mobile 1.

Why not change your own oil?

Sometimes I do. Sometimes scheduling is easier to have them do it.

You can buy ester additive if you really want it. I did but valvetrain etc. noise was more prevalent sooner than with Liqui Moly Mos2 or Ceratec when using M1 0-40w in all trial fills.

Started the Z up this morning in the garage.

Usually roll it forward or backwards a little bit once in a while over the winter storage to avoid flat spots forming on the tires. Excited for spring to come.

You do know that you can just inflate tires to 3bar ~ 43psi and there will be no flatspots?

Necessity, no, but reason, yes.

With some good winter tires it would be ok 99% of the time. But my Z is lowered without a winter wheel setup and I'm lucky enough to have a fun spare car to use and a parking space available for it.

I've seen a local white Z that kicks around year round. Hope he/she is having a blast with it

Is that right? I've never really looked further into it. Just going off of an old motorcycle winter storage routine I've followed for a long time. It also gives me an excuse to take a few extra sit in the car.

You don't need an excuse to enjoy your car. Whenever I want to do that over winter, I just go and apply some leather conditioner on it
