Looks good, I simply replaced the lenses with Morimoto (lens only) units since my OE lights are already modded and the reflector part body paint matched. Then applied a supposed lifetime UV coating.

So the Morimoto lens only - those do not come with a UV coating?

I still am debating popping these open to black out the chrome bling (I don't know what nissan was thinking) - how bad was it to open them? did you do it oven style?

For a first time - I think mine turned out "decent" but they kinda have a minor satin like feel to them... def. a huge improvement from where I started, but not the same as a new lens/oem

Not sure, haven't seen affirmation of it.

Finally pulled the trigger on the Nismo fuel cap cover. Buying on ebay from Japan is half the price of anything I found in the US at around $68 shipped and arrived in less than a week.

Very surprised it is of stout metal construction which helps with the price point. Compliments the OE bright silver paint perfectly and gives some joy when having to fuel up at today's prices haha.

Just checked at Nengun today for the cap when looking for CF rearview mirror covers and they're $2 more expensive than my Ebay source. While Nengun didn't have the correct variation of the rearview mirror cover I was after, similar variations were $30 more unshipped than my shipped price from Blackhawk Japan.

Picked up my car from getting fixed. I cut someone off and got lightly rear-ended last month. Had to pay a $1000 deductible but at least I got a new used wheel and a new bumper out of it. Now I just need to refurbish the other 3 to match lol

Did my oil change with the lovely Nissan Ester oil and OEM filter. Went to go change my belt, tensioner and the 3 idler pulleys and realized I only had 2. Called my local dealer for the 3rd one. As I was tightening the new tensioner down, the bolt got hard as fvck to turn. So, as I backed the bolt out, I found a few threads all jacked up. I then had to call my dealer again for a new belt tensioner bolt and idler pulley bracket. I don't trust tapping the bolt on the bracket. Plus I'm a psychopath.

So, after getting done in that area what I could, I installed a rubber seal with very little cursing involved. Next, I went to take out my right front brake pads to inspect the rotor and pads and to lube up the pads since I'm getting squeaking coming from the right front when I brake occasionally from that corner.

In my frustration with the belt tensioner bolt, I forgot to remove the little pins that go in the big pins that hold the brake pads. I fvcking broke both and gummed up the exit hole for one. One of the big pins was an absolute nightmare to get out with my punches and hammer, pliers and elbow grease. Looks like I got get those now too. I still have to do my air filters and cabin filter which are OEM and a heat shield. It's the one you remove when doing something like dropping the trans. It's U - shaped.

My car is going to be up on jack stands for several days. Since I'm going to be balls deep in my lady friends mouth soon, I shall have no worries for the rest of my day. I think I'm going to put some cream on those cakes as well.

Installed M35/45 Auto Shift knob recovered in Alcantara since the OE cover no longer matched when changing the OE Sport seat skins.

Default Seasonal Tire Swap

Put the winter tires/wheels on. Having some decent weather and figured we'd be buried soon enough, so got ahead of the game before it became a more urgent task.

Been really quiet on this thread lately. Has everybody stopped doing stuff with their Zs?

Pulled the trigger on Z1s Black Friday deals. Got 228k miles, been on tein s techs for 200k? So I got z1 toe arms, z1 traction arms, z1 eccentric toe bolts, z1 front and rear end links, rear wheel bearings. Waiting to install when I pick up a set of true rear Coilovers in the spring. Haven’t picked the set yet, still reviewing.

Convenient to hit this number as I pulled into my driveway.

I also bought the kit from Sylvania but I did not use it as there are a few reviews showing that you get to redo everything after 12-18 months...
Then I won’t tell you that Z1 had the Morimotos on Black Friday for a little over $1100.
