Just tuck that bad boi up high and toight because if you are any kind of lowered you have a high chance of flat spotting the Tomei or even gouging it.

Going to be loud as f*ck and I run Motordyne ART + Shockwave, which is loud as f*ck :tup:

Oil change

Pushed my new radiator hose on the rest of the way to stop a leak that would happen at high revs and cleaned the green mess it made in the engine bay (side tangent: whoever at Nissan named the long-life stuff " blue" was colorblind since it's teal)

Finally pulled my steering lock fuse after 5 years of owning my Z even though the previous owner had his lock replaced

Removed a melted plastic bag that got stuck between my exhaust and W-brace, which explains that burning smell...

Whatever you do, don't install the thunder pipe. Unless you want permanent hearing loss. It's loud AF with my HFCs.

I really should see if that printed test bracket will mount my dash properly so i can give my friend feedback to print the final mount. It's just too damn hot.

Looked at the pile of parts on the work bench to install, then said f it. I’ll wait till it’s not 106 in my garage!

Morimotos tail lights! First project with my son!

Nice!

However that dealer decal though >.>

Thanks. I feel you on decal - got lazy, especially after trying to remove my toasted convertible top deck lid liner. Got an easy suggestion for removal?

You'll probably have to use a combination of a heat gun and some patience. I'm by no means an expert but that's what i can think of.

Use a 3M eraser wheel to take the decal off.

Leave it in the sun on a hot summer day. Texas sun makes it easy almost any day, but in Massachusetts you might have to wait for the right day. If you use a heat gun just make sure you use it on low heat and be extremely careful not to overheat the paint and clear coat.

That 3M Eraser Wheel is extremely dangerous around paint in the hands of the inexperienced. Better to use a heat gun on low first. I wouldn't use the eraser wheel except as a last resort and keep the RPMs low and slow.

Dropped my Z off at the dealer for the first time in 4 years :eek:

Their Master Tech is checking out the airbag systems, fob antennas, and A/C system for me. He's already figured out everything lol

Glad a known didn't bite ya as it does others who put it off. :shakes head:

A/C was at about half charge. And the heater hoses near the rear RH side of the engine look :ugh:

The plastic coupler is either already broken or extremely likely to break when I pull it out. The Master Tech told me the same thing happened in his G37S and recommended a metal coupler with bleeder port like this: https://conceptzperformance.com/czp-...t Bleeder Port

Airbag system is good to go and the fobs are all working again. Safelite should be covering new B-pillars as well although I'm not sure if they'll authorize the dealer to give them to me or source it themselves.

The tech also verified that I had the Stebel horn connected properly but there appears to be a problem with the horn itself. I'm going to troubleshoot and buy a new one if necessary.

Just ordered a tune from Specialty-Z! :happydance:
