I have done Kingman AZ to Portland Oregon solo a couple of times. It is only 22 hours.:tiphat:

I remember as a kid riding with my mom from Bartsow CA to Laurel Mississippi none stop. She would take a couple of couple of hour naps along the way. Between her and my dad I got my affliction for making long distant drives. I do at least one 14 to 16 hour solo trip a year. If I am traveling with the wife I don't like to do more than 10 hours at a time.

May drive it to work today but, still testing pedal commander on my Camry 2018 and may end up taking the Camry to work.

I did solo toronto to new jersey through flurries on summer tires. 8 hours. Then back... the hardest part is keeping the speed down.

Or keeping awake after grabbing a huge lunch at cracker barrel

When we do Pittsburgh to Denver. That's one stop for the night. Pittsburgh to Moab is two stops. Pittsburgh to Miami is one stop for the night. Used to drive that straight through. :driving:

Completed in the past two weeks:

- Installed new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S all around, stock sizes
- Installed new Aeroworkz CF lip (courtesy https://www.rejapan-r-knight.com great shipping and packaging) as last one's rivet install did not hold (new install uses what came with the kit and no problems including high speed, highway loads)
- Picked up V3 Motordyne ART pipes and sold my V1s to a guy on the Book of Faces who told me he's gonna try and get them to work on an FX50


Here are some night pics:

Love this thing, as I do not see too many Zs out with it. Gives a little pop in my opinion, without having to go full blown three-piece or Varis lip.

First time for me on Michelins, as I usually go with Bridgestones. However, my driving style did not go with the 20k life of the RE-760s that I was running. No mileage guarantee either.

I am looking forward to seeing how the PS4S hold up with a 30k guarantee and with Florida summer upon us.

Next month. It's Pittsburgh to Denver, to Bloomfield NM, to Grand Canyon, to Sunrise Az, to Hotrodz front yard, then home. :driving:

Unless you're planning on converting to air cooled.

Ian B 06-06-2019 05:11 PM

Took the 370Z instead of the new Camry to work and thank God I did. I stormed here for 30 mins w small hail. I rather let the 370Z get the damage over the new car. Will have to go out later and see if any hail damage. Now is back to sunny.

We are leaving on 7/8 and should be back around 7/26 or 7/27. Should be about 6 to 7,000 miles on the motorhome plus close to 1,000 miles on the Grand Cherokee. We're towing the Grand Cherokee. Be about $2,000 for fuel.

What did I do with my Z today?...

Finally made the decision to sell my Z. I'll most likely strip it back to stock and sell off the goodies OR sell it as is (minus the stereo system) and include all of the stock parts with it.

Or aboot 2700 canadian pesos... i remember i budgeted about 1000 for gas on my road trips. Turned into less than 600 for most. Apparently you get about 10l/100km and not 17 when you're cruising on the highway for 7-8hours lol

Well...........the position was open for that character.

Dynamis 06-07-2019 08:45 AM

I checked all the hoses and seals for the CAI I just put on. The car has been running and shifting a little odd since Tuesday. I think this is normal? The car is 're-learning'...fingers crossed.

I could only be so lucky. On topic, for once, Drove the Z to work last night. It was glorious. Id catch a hint of turbo and I wanted to just keep driving and not pull into the parking lot.

Did you reset the ECU?

ColtronZ 06-07-2019 09:56 AM

Never had any issues after installing my CAI. They say afterwards leave your car running for a bit so it can adjust to the change in airflow but it should automatically compensate quickly from my understanding.

If your hoses and seals are fine, which seemed really hard to mess up, did you mount the filters correctly?

I mean they're sitting on top of the bumper like most pics I've seen of them so I think so.

Got my car tuned by admin tuning.
See link to my build in my sig for details

BettyZ 06-07-2019 11:25 PM

Broke the seatbelt bracket off my seat mount and welded it back on. I'd say it was an accident, and it was, but I guess I also have a Keynesian approach to car work.. break it so you can fix it.

CF Powertrix spoiler add on is currently setting. I am using three straps and two clamps to ensure the 3M adhesive makes a solid contact for curing.

This should put the finishing touches on my exterior CF highlights:

- Aeroworkz CF front lip
- Evo-R CF mirror covers
- Evo-R CF Door handle covers
- Evo-R CF B pillar covers
- Evo-R CF Rear diffuser

Future changes may include upgrade from Evo-R to Fujimara or Zele for mirror and B pillars. Maybe even Nismo for the mirror covers, as I haven’t seen that either.

Trying to plan budget for next year... i will need tires. Intakes and tune? Hmmmm lol maybe wait til im out of oem warranty for tune...

Will also need rubber too.

Used some of my straight razor strop balm on my seats too moisturize the leather. Especially where it rubs alot. Had a shinier finish now. Mistakes may have been made. Its essentially vaseline lol

Still better than the guy down my street who once used Windex to clean the outside of the car. You heard me right.

Drove it to dinner but, had to rush back home due to severe weather and tornado threat here in Cedar Park, Texas. Skies went black in 20 mins. Scary ****.

Or use spray silicone on vinyl seats in your car and on your motorcycle seat. :eek: :icon14: The seats looked really good and shiny. Slippery as chit! :eek: Hit the brakes in the car and watched GF go under the dash. :eek:
