What I'm still working through are the "best fit" products to use regarding total car care..from wheel cleaner/wax, to tire cleaner/dressing, to paint polish/wax, to interior care (including leather) and glass cleaners. It's a bit of a testing grounds right now, but eventually I'll have it dialed in!:icon17:

Ah... it's an addiction once you get into it. I'm a fan of ALL quality products. It's sad, but I have close to 5k invested over the years :ugh2:

thanks again G2Z! yah, is that knob weighted? if so im going to get me that one fo sure. :p

i LOL'ed at Griot's pitch comment. :bowrofl:

weighted??? hmmmm I never weighed the stock vs the nismo knob. It feels very solid in the hand, and movement from gear to gear has a a nice firm feel to it. I don't know if it weighs more or lighter than the oem knob. If I were to venture a guess, maybe same if not less? Maybe someone else on here who has the knob can chime in?

Same here, I feel you on that... I always laugh every time I look at all the detailing supplies and then think about how many actually get used regularly. It is an expensive hobby since you spend so much trying new products just to find the ones that become your favorite haha.


I am leaving for Shanghai for 7 weeks so I took the Z out to get a haircut and am about to do a QD wipedown before covering her up with my Saab silk indoor car cover lol.

I buy QD by the gallon. I use about 3 gallons per season which isn't too bad. :p

Gave her a bath and put the cover on her so she'll be clean and ready for action when I get back from NYC.

Looked at my Swift Springs and H&R spacers and said to myself "I'll get around to putting those on someday".

I have 15mm in rear installed (Ichiba) and 15 mm (H&R) for the front (they are uninstalled at the moment). I need a weekend free to do the fronts along with my springs and camber arms. Weekends have been tight all year for some reason. Stupid work is overflowing its Monday through Friday boundaries on a consisten basis. On a shelf in my garage sit the springs, arms and spacers.

I am hoping the first weekend in June to be free, otherwise I am going to have to do the honorable thing and call in one day and just do it. Actually, I call it "calling in well", not sick. It is when you feel too well to go into work.

When feeling good why should one subject one's self to the assault on one's will to live that work delivers?

Have a great day, Mr. Kenchan.

ahh, i see. since your car and wheel colors are dark i couldn't tell if that front was still at ET47 or pushed out just a tad. :)

i like 'call in well' tactic and reasoning. :icon18: my week and weekend's are pretty tight too right now and i dont expect much slowing down until at least memorial day weekend. i hope to get my ings+ front splitter by then and install it. :p

my dd Fit's front brake pad indicator is telling me i need to swap out the pads soon...i think im either going to take it to the dealer to get raped or midas or one of my buddy's shop and have it done. i have the means to do it in my garage, but rather be spending that time and energy on my Z. :D

have a great day too! :tup:

Gave my car a once over. Making sure everything is in top shape.

onzedge, very nice. I am still a great fan of the 40th color. Gorgeous.
