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

Will 370Z · 04-09-2023, 12:08 AM

Picked it up a couple days ago from having tint redone. Old tint was starting to peel on the driver’s side window and wasn’t really dark enough, so I all of it redone with ceramic tint which will help keep the heat out here in Texas with spring and summer coming up soon. Huge shoutout to Xpel who did a great job! Highly recommended.

There’s a couple minor things I wanted to do that I’m putting on hold for now to focus more on performance. Looking to order Berk HFC this week then intake (not sure what brand yet) and then move to upgrading the suspension so the real fun can begin lol excited to share everything with you all here!

I have ceramic on my work truck windshield and it does zilch to keep the heat out. Found out the expensive way it's simply a UV protectant, the metal based films are what reflect the most heat.

I was finally able to get over the wall of California. I drove my Z from Southern California to Salt Lake city, Utah. The Z ran perfect! I moved out here for work and I even got a raise. I'll never live in California again. I'll only be back to see family and go to Yosemite, Napa Valley etc.

Congrats on numerous levels.

Congrats man! I hear CA is starting to experience a mass exodus?

I honestly don't know how people can afford to live in CA mentally and financially. Cost of living, taxes, politics, natural disasters, etc.....

Installed GKTech rear subframe collars and it wasn't fun!

Dreadnaught · 05-13-2023, 05:15 PM

The Z just turned over 100k! My Z has been mostly fluid changes, filter changes, normal wear items and a handful of repairs.
