:iagree: looks like QJ is the cool thing to do now

It is... DO IT!!!

Did you get the 12v option to hook up the power to your battery? Youd be able to use it on the track then... :tup:

It did come with it, regardless I have a generator to run the
AC unit and electrical in the trailer.:happydance:

I did it because of convenience, between oil and tire changes or tire rotations the car is up in the air a lot.

Blacked out my badges with plasti dip last night. Worked awesome, looks awesome.

Thoughts on keeping the whole hamburger black vs pulling out the 'buns'?

I'm just wondering how high it can get... I'm not sure it will be enough to roll out the transmission sitting on the transmission jack from under the car. In which case, it's probably not worth it to me.

I can get the car up on four jack stands without much effort now. The minimal hassle saved with a QJ just doesn't seem worth a $1300+ investment. Especially when I consider that I can get a 2 post lift for an 8' tall garage for $1700.

They don't look good removed. Because there is an indent in the bumpers. So you'll want to either replace them (you have a couple of options) or fill in the indent in the bumpers.

Sorry, i wasnt clear. Pull out the interior black part or leave.

I'm not a fan of the hamburgers in general, but I think I would remove the interior part.

I got mine for $999 on line from Costco! It is much safer than Jack stands too. Not sure about the height of the lift yet. You are young and don't have deal with bad knees and hips lol.

I don't have a Costco card. Home Depot has it for $1099. Plus $97 for large blocks. Plus $85 for pinch weld blocks. Plus $85 for portable power if I wanted to take it on the road. It adds up.

I'm not convinced it's any safer than jack stands. Anything can fail...

I can't disclose that. I don't want people getting in the way lol.

:mad: :mad:

:rofl2: I've got a few of those as well ;)

I'm not trying to talk you into getting one. Mine came with large and small blocks so I don't have to buy them.

You got to do what is good for you. I have used Jack stands all my life without fail so you have no argument from me.

Didn't realize it came with blocks. I would assume the retail package from Home Depot is the same. I'm trying to convince myself I don't need one. Because I'll probably end up with a 2 post lol.

Large blocks are redundant once you get the pinch weld blocks; you wont be able to stack both underneath. You can fit the pinch blocks on the small blocks. I was worried ab keeping the pinch and small blocks aligned with each other during the lifting process so I duct taped them together.

Good to know and thanks for the advice!

LMAO, you are way more mechanically inclined than me and do your own wrenching so it would make sense. It's that whole thing of I have got by without it and for $1200 I can buy more parts for the car! Any more I compare everything to a set of $1300 set of tires that are no good after three track weekends or less! So the lift was a no brainer.

I'd love to have either a lift or a QJ, but at those prices, I can buy either more car parts or things that go 'boom'.... :rofl2::rofl2:

I had my steering wheel wrapped in full alcantara with red stitching.

Especially for a lowered Z, and eeeeessssspecialy with the longer 09-14 Nismo front overhang, it’s great luxury to be able to get all 4 wheels off the ground quickly. For my car (lowered 09 Nismo), even with a long reach flat low profile jack, it’s such a drag to:

-get the car on some kind of block to raise up the front
-then jack up the front
-place jack stand
-then jack the rear
-place jack stand

Someday I’ll get one of these fancy QJ or a 2 post lift...some day in the unknown distant future lol.

The biggest pain the @ss about the qj is theyre so freakin heavy.

My replacements didn't have the black interior part... If they had, I would have removed them.

Oh I can’t imagine moving it around lol. Personally, I’ll want them stationary at one spot. I’ll just park my Z over it every time. Maybe build a small incline ramp on each end.

No way it's high enough to roll a trans out on a jack. It's only like 22" unless you get one of the higher end ones. Maybe if you had blocks tall enough. Even then I'm unsure if it would be high enough. My stands are 21.5" and I need to raise the front another 4" to get the trans back under the car.

Not knocking the QJ I think it would be great for oil changes, tire rotation, brakes and exhaust work. If I had the room and an extra grand burning a hole in my pocket I'd get one. Too many parts to buy

The picture on the box is a bunch of BS. Aint no way someone is going to be dragging both ramps behind them like that! Even though they have little plastic wheels, thats one way of messing up your back or shoulders!

They're certainly not light.. but they have wheels on one end so you can maneuver it around.

Wrapped both sides of the Y pipe. Miserable experience even with the wrapping pre-soaked. Going to take a 30 minute shower/decon and get this fiberglass OFF MY ******* SKINhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9a29e44677.jpg

I did the hfc on the G in fiberglass. Never again. Using Ti from now on. Ti wrap is way easier to work with, no splinters no wet wrap to mess with.

Finally started on my loft to get some crap off the floor.

Have you noticed a heat difference in the cabin since wrapping the driver's side pipe? Or is it too soon?

Just posted the ole' girl up for sale today, both here on the forum and in the Central Florida Z Club on FB.

I just saw it... Maannnn, sucks you have to part with such a sweet Z. I understand why though. There will always be another Z out there waiting for you when you're ready.

I swapped out the non-functional side markers on my Z with ones from an '09-'15 model. They light up beautifully when the turn signals are activated. Simple mod. Cheap. Easy enough I can do it.

Haven't taken her out for a long drive yet. I'm being extraordinarily cautious after my little bounce off the rev limiter last Saturday.

When I checked the oil yesterday I had lost approx. 14 oz. in the 600 miles and six days since I last pulled the dipstick. Oil pressure readings seem okay, no signs of external leakage, and I'd previously replaced the oil gallery gaskets as a precautionary measure.. would appreciate any advice on what to look for.

I lost count on how many times mine has been bounced off of the rev limiter. :rofl2: :driving:

Manual says get car to operating temps. Let it sit for iirc 15min then check


Yea i open up first and second all the time on my dd if i get the chance

I know its only 8am in cali and there is a chance its not even finished (max 2 weeks) but i just want my noise maker!!!!!!
