i don't really drive much, period. But at least 3-4 times a week for short errands. Too much hassle to cover it. It's plastered in SiO2 sealant so it should be fine.
This is winter 2 since I've had it. Going to do a full undercarriage check in the spring. Apply "Chassis Saver" where appropriate and hit it with the full Bilt Hamber anti-corrosion lineup.

I have to park on the street. A street that is pretty well used. Two bus routes, and the main way to get to the nearest highway.

Car gets completely covered in salt.

Desperately needed a wash. I envy all you people that don't have a winter.

I could see those pics from the top of Mount Rushmore :icon17:

Anyways I resized them for you.

Glad I've never had to deal with salt. Not fun for any car :ugh2:

Switched over to E85 now. at 66% so I'm going to drive that down before running logs at 85%. the cutover is very smooth and immediate. I as really impressed with how the software works!

Looks like you have a fast back.

Just got a full set of akebono re-mans with rotors, pads, paint and ss lines for less than $800. The base is getting an upgrade :)

haha, yes, last year I had to park it across the street on a side road. Had a few huge snowstorms....after dutifully shoveling my winter car, sidewalks, and driveway clear, I'd march across the street with the shovel and shovel out the Z, forming walls of snow and ice around her. When the streets dry off, even in deep winter, I will take her out for a spin.

This year I arranged for her to be in a driveway and just took her for a mid-winter drive a few days ago, before more snow was to come. It helps beat any winter blues for sure.

Installed my custom modified Ganador replica mirrors. Before and after pics.

I changed my oil using the Nissan ester oil and factory oil filter.

I also installed a new left front outer and inner tie rods. Nissan sells them as kits except for the jam nut.

Lastly I installed the left rear eccentric bolt, eccentric washer and nut for the stock camber arm. The last shop or two that tightened the bolt and not the nut like you're supposed to destroyed the eccentric washer.

I'm taking my car to Corner 3 here in Laguna Niguel. I'd do the alignment myself but my shop doesn't have an alignment rack.

Akebono's painted

Got the Akebono's coated - used a two part epoxy based paint and while it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, from five feet away it'll look great and they'll stop the car just fine.

Put on my car cover for this blizzard here in Rhode Island… except the car cover got ripped off the car in the middle of the night. Winds ripped the cover right off the straps that hold it down. Spring can’t come soon enough

Got the car back from the mechanic today. Surprised it only cost me 180$ cad. Always get scared that something is going to cost a lot when I bring it in.

Had the window regulator replaced, got a part from a totalled Nismo. No more crunchy window. Also installed the center trim piece from veganstig so now I have no vinyl rips on my interior.

Still have that stupid cracked a pillar finisher to deal with now.

Headlights before and after, no clue why the last owner painted these. Took forever to sand the first one.
