What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Benibiker · 07-20-2017, 08:27 PM

Got my windows tinted (35%).

Zingston · 07-20-2017, 08:35 PM

Looks great! I'll be doing the same soon.

If you don't have a tint guy already - I recommend Randy @ Glass Act Window Tinting in Tampa.... he's mobile and did a great job on both my Z's.

Zingston · 07-20-2017, 08:56 PM

Nice! I'll call him next time I'm in town (my Z is resting in the garage with its favorite tender right now). Thanks!

Stranded on the side of the road with my Z. Probably the slave failure I predicted a few months back. Or it could be yet anther OEM master cylinder failure. Clutch fluid is beautifully clear and dropped from max to a few mm below min.

It's a Z1 external slave so repair is just a new $60 cylinder and no dropping of the transmission. We'll see what the diagnosis is.

Leingod · 07-21-2017, 02:59 PM

That blows JAR. Sorry to hear....

Jayhovah · 07-21-2017, 03:04 PM

Bummer... at least its an inexpensive replacement if its the slave. If not... maybe time for an RJM master?

ramoszx12r · 07-21-2017, 03:13 PM

Take couple shuts and go to sleep, maybe tomorrow is a better day. GET WELL SOON!

Hope all goes well and it's an easy fix!!

After a long day, I got a bit of rest and started thinking ... I'm probably going to feel like a complete moron when I go over to the shop in the morning. I'm going over there with a 5 gallon can of premium gas to see if it was perhaps just fuel starve

That would be my first real encounter with it ... definitely happened on a hard right hand turn where I had the rear end stepping out just a hair. I already feel a bit like a dope for not thinking about that possibility when it happened. Thankfully the tow was free, so I'm not out anything other than my Friday afternoon. And I spent all morning fly fishing on the river, so it was a good day all in all

Didn't realize photobucket became pay service. I'll find something else...

As for me, I installed a nice new Pioneer head unit today along with the Axxess ASWC-1. Works perfectly!

I'm running the dash speakers and door speakers in a true 2-way active setup along with time alignment. It makes the stock non-Bose speakers sound pretty darn good... Considering. In fact, it sounds better than my brother's Sport Bose system.
