vegitto- enjoy the attention! :tup: you're going to be the next the370z.com-heroine. oh wait, you a guy? ;)

I did nothing with my Z today, its parked. I'm sad

for you I can be anything you want.


:stirthepot:

a guy in ontario, california has oil temp issues.
a guy in ontario, canada has hibernation issues. huge contrast between faux and real ontario's. :D

i havent seen my z either today. :(

:bowrofl: you're not my type.

Is it my AT? :(

:inoutroflpuke:

:roflpuke2:

Mine is parked outside my office. I get to drive it in 30 minutes!

some z were born to run and other z were born to park in the garage :D

Ya, my Z is not going to see salt, the rest of the year its my DD

im glad the snow cleared up

she was standing still for about a month and half :shakes head:

yah, i wish i could drive her all year long but im not a big fan of washing cars (yet i like my cars spotless) so only comes out on nice dry days. :D i still got another 6wks till hibernation is over too. :eekdance:

dirt is the biggest fear for my convert to PW, dust and dirt doesn't show up so badly on the PG.

hey we are on the same page. i try to keep my dd spotless too. as much as i could anyway :)

where we deviate is for dd you got a honda and i got a vw.

you wanna race? :icon17: ;)

haha. we would be even i think. according to test results, both of our dd would reach 60 mph in about 8.5 seconds :)

wow... no wonder it seems like im driving in slow motion every day. :icon17:

cant wait to pull out my Z. :tup:

yep. big difference between 8.5 sec and 5.0 sec.

but my vw has a much better stereo system than the one in the nismo z, so the drive is not too bad :)

Left it in the garage because it was supposed to snow today. Turned out to be to warm so it is raining now. I get to bring it out later tonight.

I don't have a 370 but this weekend I got my 280ZX running again by replacing the clutch slave cylinder. I also bled the brakes and attempted to change the oil which left me with a completely torn up and irremovable oil filter thanks to the oil change place I took it to last time hiring the hulk to screw on filters :shakes head:. So this weekend I get to figure out how to get it off as well as flush the radiator and attempt to fix a degrading head gasket with this "Blue Devil" stuff. Has anyone tried it? From watching youtube videos it looks pretty effective. Anyways the oil filter looks something like this and I'm not happy about it.

Can't u use the holes to turn the base of wats remaining of the filter? If all fails use a dremel and cut it.

Oh man that sucks!

Why don't you just get a new gasket instead of trying to seal it with the Blue Devil stuff?

I don't have 1200 lying around to get the head gasket replaced and apparently this stuff actually works pretty well. And yes this weekend I'm gonna get a spanner wrench and attempt to unscrew it through the holes. I tried to do it with two screwdrivers and broke one in the process. I also broke a channel lock wrench try to get it off. The thing is on ridiculously tight; it's like the welded it to the block haha. And to fend off the flamers- yes I was turning it counterclockwise.

Ah, wasn't sure if you'd DIY or not.

Well I'm slowly working up my mechanical abilities but I don't think I would be ready for that kind of job just yet. For now a quick fix will be fine as I don't drive the car much anymore and the main priority is just keeping it from blowing up.

Thought about my Z and how much fun itd be to drive it here on the roads in Atlanta, at least they have hills with up and down sweeping turns. Miami has nothing but on and off ramps for toll roads that are any fun to drive on :P

This is way off topic, but... After I replaced a blown head gasket on my Jeep, it started leaking again. Was going through a quart of antifreeze every other day. I used Bar's Leaks Head Gasket Fix in the radiator, and... it actually worked. However, I wouldn't use it if you plan on keeping the car for a long time. The stuff is pretty irreversible. Some folks claim it ruined their engine, but I am thinking they may have tried a second bottle when it didn't work the first time. That would gunk EVERYTHING up.

Back on topic... I looked at my Z today wearing a layer of snow and a layer of sleet/ice on top of her. And she still melted my heart..

My Z got dirty because it poured from 4am-6am and the roads were still wet when I left for work :(

GOOD, ya that's right I said it, good :p

:crying:

Thats nice of you to take the car to a track and give it a work out. I bet it thanks you for that.:icon17:

Nothing... Not a damn thing. Hell, I haven't even seen it much over the last three weeks.

This is quite possibly the longest winter yet. :shakes head:

I blazed home without anyone else on the road. Finally got to test out my new coil overs on a dry road. Feels flat yet the rear end wants to kick out a little bit. I like them and likely will adjust them after awhile.

I inflated the tires to 40psi and rolled it back a few inches to prevent a flat spot while it sits in an "extended parking space" at my apartment place. I can't wait until spring.....

I unplugged the battery trickle charger from the motorcycle and reattached it to the Z's battery.

I generated some funds for Spring Z projects.
A.K.A. I sold the Volks from my Mazdaspeed3.

I installed my Stillen sides and waxed her.

I looked at my Z and apologized to it for sitting in the garage on this nice beautiful weekend. Waiting on my headlights from 180 customs. Hope there here in about three days.

I installed LED bulbs for the Z today.
