Installed my simota1 fuel gauge overlay:

Came up with a solution to the problem of high winds lifting my cover off of the car:

I found these big-a** magnets at Harbor Freight for about $3 each. They have a 95 lb. pull rating, so they should be strong enough to prevent the cover from lifting off of the car in windy conditions.
The magnets were bare metal when I purchased them. I coated them with Plasti Dip rubberized paint to add grip and make sure there wouldn't be any rough edges left exposed to wear a hole in the cover.

The weather broke for a bit here. Snow is all but gone. Took the z out for a ride.
She got dirty but it was worth it.
Put her back in the garage all clean and with a full tank of 93. Just waiting for another chance to get my fill before spring.

after short drive in the sunshine, decided to give it a wash :)

After not driving her for about a month and half because of the snow I finally decided to pick her up at my work. gave her a wash and finally took her back home.

I installed the remote gain control for my subwoofer amp. I had not planned to use it, since the Pioneer HU has a sub out level adjust. However, I found myself fiddling with the sub out level too often, and it is deep enough in the menu system to be a driving distraction. One more console switch blank filler put to use. Beautiful weather here in Dallas, chilly but cloudless blue skies.

Here is some of what I did the last few days.

YouTube - Nissan 370 Z Down hill

Being from California- What is this snow you speak of? :vuvuzela:

damn that looks like fun xD

I turned the tires on both my Z and G today. I turn them 1/3 turn by hand every 4wks while on flatstoppers. :)

Mt Tam --- looks very much like Muir Woods and a great amount of fun. Nice technique as well.

Hmm -- Snow??? We just returned from Northern/Westerrn Minnesota and had blizzards, freezing rain, icy roads and below zero temps. See below for a shot out of the windshield on our way down route 78 toward I-94 on New Year's Eve (hoping to make the 190 miles to the airport). They closed the road right behind us. I did not see a single Z the entire week (duh).

Good eye and Thank you.

My gal and I went to Safeway yesterday. I went to get the car in the rain and pick her up at the front door. Some guy in a silver 350Z comes by and checks out my car, then drives off. When I get to the front door my lady saw the 350 and thought I had left her. So just as she starts to run after it, a silver 370 drives past her, so she waits for it to stop. It doesn't. Before she can figure it out I showed up. She too had not seen another Z car for weeks when all of a sudden....

beat a nismo z33 and nismo z34
on the track of course [:

Some goodies came today :)

I went and bought a hole bunch of cleaning supplies for my sweetheart.

Haven't cleaned her in a minute so decided to!
I forgot how sick Magnetic Black looks when washed and waxed!
:P

hrmm. hadnt driven mine since sunday morning so took her to work today.

chops- very clean~ :tup:

i only had a chance to glance at my Z this am while taking out the trash.

Ohh...the perks of living in Clearwater, FL! I get to drive my Z every day.

but you hate how your car rides every day...

:tup:

Touche:bowrofl:

I just removed the dealer advertisment sticker (they wouldn't sponser me) and debadged the rear 370Z emblem. Super clean now.

Drove around in cold weather realizing it makes more noises when cold.

Happy News Year!!!, today I'm crusing up and down the Vegas Strip..

Shoveled my house and neighbors house...
Shoveled my sister's G35 and my 370z...
Now I will look at my Z until I can take it to my secret area for some snow drifting.
XD

I drove my Z to work today. Right now it's parked in the very back of the parking lot with no other cars within 100 feet.

I spurned my Z today in favor of riding the bike to work. Gorgeous day in DFW! Crappy weather next week, so the Z's gonna get dirty.....

I was there over Thanksgiving, and I gotta say you are brave for risking your car in that madhouse! Away from the strip is fine, I imagine. But, it took 15 minutes in a cab to get from Ceasar's to the Venetian (cab due to mother-in-law health issue... I would have walked otherwise).... like 200 yards! Crazy, crazy I say!

Drove around the block in 5 degrees below zero weather just to exercise the oil and tires a bit. Back into the safety of the garage again!

Weather is turning bad tonight and we are expecting about 5 inches of snow and -30 degrees celsius for about the next two weeks... :shakes head:

drove to work and parked as close to the only other 370z ive seen in a longggggg time

Received its title in the mail today :woot:

Wow... I ALWAYS back into stalls! Learned my lesson many years ago that replacing a fender is cheaper than a quarter panel!

Well, my idea of using magnets to keep my car cover from flapping and lifting in the wind was a failure.
So I got some car cover bungie clamps from Griot's Garage and installed them today.

Pretty clever design. I hope they work!

I got to drive my Z a total of once in the past 2 weeks. Had to tuck her in under a car cover because of the snow.

sigh.....

you're lucky. my last drive was over 5wks ago. :tup:

i printed up my Z and G picts and placed them on the wall at the office. :p

So lucky.



I drove my car a hundred miles today.

i already drive the most riced out car at my office, backing in would just be icing on the cake. i used to just park far, but the rest of my org just moved into the building next door, completely filling the parking lot. nowadays i just inch out of the parking spot super slow since everyone drives so damn fast!

I went off roading today!:ughdance:

cruised a round town just to get out of the house. Talked to the insurance co today and they said get an estimate on the body work after I hit a deer Sunday morning.

Drove my Z to work today!
