That was the good old days , i remember. Big block and a rock crusher trany.

Noop, just like vacuum assisted brakes (Brake Booster). No different. I like it. The clutch was not heavy at all. No vacuum it was a freaking monster. Not sure how many people know, never thought of it. That is the easiest way to tell if someone did a TT swap. No vaccum line coming off the brake booster going into the firewall. The Clutch booster was actually mounted inside the car. How do I know. Because I worked on a TT swap for a customer with a NA car. I was handed the job after the mechanic walked off the job. Motor on the stand and a box of parts. One heck of a jigsaw puzzle. Get with me next Zdayz. I will walk and show you the difference during the car show. I owned a real 1990 300zxtt. Everyone talks about their dream car. That was mine.

Mom: your exhaust is really quiet now
Me: i know its stock
Mom: huh?
Me: i will get a louder one
Mom: ok.


Lol fk mom


Here i am back to manual after a month off and thinkin "shinsplints already?":roflpuke2:

Push the clutch in, and your leg would start to shake. :rofl2:

Is that all you got done?





:tup:

Plumping for a flux capacitor?

:iagree:

First turn I took a little fast today and the car started shaking. WTF, look down and traction control is flashing... WTF??? Must of bumped the yaw sensor power switch last night. Flipped it on again and all was well for the next turn.:tup:

Nice to see the crash bar fits. Wish it would on my G. I had to trim bumper just to get the intercooler to fit and relocate the sump pump.

Just 1 more week and I'll be able to drive the Z again :driving:

That is, assuming I've buttoned everything back up by then (highly doubtful lol).

Lol i scheduled my last maintanence for end of october. Oil change only. Next year ill do a change out of brake and clutch fluid to rbf 600

Also getting quotes for a new exhaust for next year.700 km and its too quiet. Lol damn. Motordyne or fast intentions are my current.

I've got an FI exhaust with one CF can that is busted up pretty good. The rest of the pipes are good though. I bet FI could fab up some straight tail pipes for a few hundred. It'll be much louder. You know, for your mom :icon17:

My first car ('55 Chevy) and possibly a couple of other cars I had were equipped with the vacuum wipers.

Flooring the accelerator would bring the wipers almost to a halt--maybe that was a safety feature to encourage safer driving in inclement weather :rolleyes:

**** Bob waited a month and half for Tony to fabricate straight pipes and then he told them they were too busy.

My dad had a 56 Chevy with vacuum wipers... going uphill in the rain was an adventure.... :eek::eek:

lol true... he should have petitioned on the forum for more interest. I want some. I bet Tony would be less hesitant if it weren't just one-off production and he were able to do a batch of them.

Neighbor had an old truck that had the vacuum wipers. I remember as a kid riding in it when it was raining. Thought it was the funnest thing.

Presto showed me it. Literally scaref the poop outta someone. Literally. Lol i need something i can drive dd and road trip too lol

Fk. My local source has a notice 2-3month wait. Maybe i should msg tony on fb be like plssss rush one for me and offer a blowie or something lol

Bah decisions decisions

Oh yeah, that's right. I still haven't gotten to hear them. Bastard brought his new GT-R to ZDayZ instead of the Z :mad: :mad:

Got the new ramps in. These are the 72 inch RR's. Cheaper than 67's + extenders.

My first Z
 

Found this old pic.....

Found some time to work on the Z... installed Z1 2-piece rotors :driving:
*note* an offset box end wrench does wonders as a makeshift brake pad spreader :twocents:

Also working on Stebel 300Hz truck horn install. Horn is mounted - just need to wire it up.

on the way home within 15 minutes i saw a 350 and 2 370's which is rare to see that many in the same day.

That new HORN will come in handy on mopac. I would love to see the reaction of the other driver when that thing goes off!!!!! :roflpuke2:

Let me know when horn working to swing buy and listen to it. Did you remove front bumper to do so?

Good morning everyone from Puerto Rico port. Cruise ended today.

What did I miss??

Hope rain gone before i fly back tuesday morning via ft lauderdale to Austin.

Need to monitor my oil levels for a while. Did an oil change back in May when I added a 34 row oil cooler. Everything worked beautifully.

I just did a new oil change this morning and realized the old oil was only about 2.5 quarts. The car never ran rough, I never noticed any oil leaks, and no stains on the zpeed undershroud. I pray the engine isn't burning oil that fast. I added 6.5 quarts for it to reach the full line on the stick.

Went for a drive and everything appeared fine. I have a block off plate on the cooler currently and temps were at 215F. this was normal 60mph cruising without any launches. I don't believe temps have gotten that high before with the cooler.

Are you running a heavier oil than before? When I started running 0 40 my average temps went up. Mine will run in the 200 to 210 range.

No. Still using mobile 1 full synthetic 5w30. I am going to take off the block off plate and see how drastically it cools afterwards. I'm just more concerned about where 4 quarts of oil disappeared when I changed it this morning.

It's a lazy evening here. Stuck in the house due to the rain from now tropical storm Florence. I ordered Produxa earlier in the week and applied a coat to the Z. We'll see how it holds up in the coming days and weeks. My car is white so it's hard to see any difference in the shine, but it did a nice job on my carbon fiber rear diffuser.

Jar i need the horn too! **** with people dt when they decide to block intersections.

1300km. Dd to work and have my oil change for Friday. Cant wait for my first redline after break in. Eeeeee 6k rpm so nice. 7.5 gonna make splooooosh


I think i was doing 0w-30.

I always burn a bit of oil. Never hurts to check every fill up.

Throttle bodies cleaned :tup:

I got the 25mm spacers on the front. I'll do the rears Saturday.

Just ordered wireless back up camera for my 2010 370z. Hope to find local help w it here in Austin/Cedar Park area.

Ian B

I don't know what your camera looks like or where you plan on mounting it, but I thought I'd throw this is in if it helps at all.
I bought this unit and with a little modification, I was able to put my Kenwood camera in place of the one that was included.

Same one I have. I just popped out the camera that came with the that and replaced it with the Gentex mirror camera. A touch of silicone and it hasnt moved in a few years. Ian, it is really simple install using that camera mount. Pop off old light cover and this one is a direct fit. The wires are easily fed into the car through a grommet. I bet you could do it yourself.

Piece of cake. We'll getcha sorted :tup:

With no wiring skills I went with this one. My android auto deck supports wiring to the back of the radio.
