Beach, i agree!! the Z32 shifter was one of my favorites. I used to steal my dads 300zx out of the garage when they went on vacations when i was a teenager! I actually crashed it, was never allowed to drive it again. And decided id by my own Z one day.

But yeah great shifter feel :icon17:

Wow, I would hate to have to come home after that! But hey, it worked out! Another Z enthusiast for life! :tup:

^ You got it, ill always love Z cars.. Unless they go hybrid.. oh wait :stirthepot:

I only wrecked it once, i know its all it takes. But i was not familiar with limited slip haha.. Sideways into a center median, broke then wheel and a few other things, like my pride :owned:

I was 17 and on a first date when it happened. Suffice it to say we never hooked up again :icon17:

My dad sold the Z32 shortly after i purchased the Z34. I was sad to see it go, and for a hyundai genesis of all things..

I placed an order a few days ago. They didn't send me any tracking information so I dunno when they'll arrive, but since I obviously don't need all four, and no one is gonna trust me with their money (since I'm so new), I figure I'll just give them away for free.

I'll post an update when I get them. Let me know if you're interested.

Good story! I will tell you one from the other side. I woke up Christmas morning two years ago to find my daughter, home from college, in the hallway crying. She had to tell me that she wrecked/spun here pristine Z31 into a small tree. She was fine but the car was not. Not my best xmas present...:ugh2:

My wife (z) got in a fight with my mistress (FD) today ...

Their *** touched..... Buffing them asses as we speak.

FromG2Z 08-18-2011 09:08 PM

well, today, I dusted the Z after getting compound and buffing dust... I haven't driven her in a few days :( I hope to drive her tomorrow. I've been busy this week paint correcting a friend's/client's Vette. 1994 C4 30k miles... she's a gem. I've done a 3 stage polish thus far (damn I am tired) I'm not yet done, but I'll update you guys when totally complete with glaze and seal this weekend, maybe in the DLSR section too ;)

Dropped off my Subwoofer Grilles and Amplifier end plates to be painted. And a Tow Hook to be PC'd. :tup:

Very nice! Where are your subs going to be mounted?

Subs are already in a Zenclosures box in the back... They've been in the car since day 1, actually it was my first 'mod' to install my subs lol But this is a project that's always been in the back of my mind, and after painting the emblems/side markers, I was in a painting mood and had the spare cash, so I decided to go ahead and get them done. :tup:

happytheman 08-18-2011 09:52 PM

Hmm, perhaps some pics are in order! Especially after the job is done, eh?

Edit: By the way...sick avatar! I've always thought so, just haven't taken the chance to say so!

christian370z 08-18-2011 09:58 PM

Drove around a bit to the gym. I removed each wheel one by one and cleaned the suspension and wheel wells that I can't reach when I wipe them down after every drive. Beauty and cleanliness cannot just be skin deep you know!

Nick911sc 08-19-2011 09:44 AM

Garage is so tight you can't gain access to the sides of the car other than getting out of the driver side and carefully exiting the garage haha

Sounds like the garage in my new townhouse. I have to pull the car out before I can load passengers.

It's a bitch because my old garage was 26' x 26' and there was plenty of room to manuever around two cars.

kenchan 08-19-2011 11:18 AM

i made absolutely sure that my 2 car garage was more of a 2.5car garage before purchase. even asked the builder NOT to finish the walls cause that'll give me another 4.5" of clearance per side. :p

that said, i have plenty of room to detail both my G and Z inside the garage. the G's bigger so difficult to work on the rear bumper without openening the garage door but no rain hits the cars unless a gust of wind. in our area we're required to have a step before the entrance to the house so i have a 3ft area where my workbench and tool cases are placed. even so, no issue opening the drawers. it took quite a bit of planning but well worth it....big bang for the buck for me. :D

Great job on the 'Vette! How hard was the paint? I worked on a C6 Z06 last year and the clear was hard as a rock, I had to use a wool pad with my rotary for the first time on a correction detail since I was getting little progress otherwise.

Thx man... It is just as u said. Hard as a rock. I had to go twice over with the orange pad, and only 95% correction attained. There was some deeeeeep stuff on there.


Today I drive zena to work and to the gym. A beautiful day.

kenchan 08-19-2011 01:42 PM

today i put beach towel over my Z's hatch taped down with 2 masking tapes at the corners. why? our community is getting a hosedown (powerwash) to get our houses cleaned. :D

while i modded the garage door not to leak any water just another thing to prevent any chance for water spots. can't wait to get home to kick their arses... :mad:
