Up at 5 to wash the Z for Cars and Coffee. What a blast! We had over 150 cars, trucks, and bikes today. I will get some pics up later. :happydance:

watch out for those cars though...they are known to spontaneously combust...just like them MINI's. yikes. i think there was a recall on most (if not all) R32's at one point for this. regardless, they do drive fun and look great. :D

Dude, this one is the 6mt! Apparently one of a small number in the country. I will get some pics next time we pull the cover off. :tup: It is red and it is hot!!!

Just got my Z back from the shop.. Got the door handles painted in matte black and installed EVO-R Carbon Fiber Side Blades..

Those look great! Nicely done. I think those skirts, diffuser, and the cf fangs would look perfect on a BlackCherry vert. :happydance:

So today, I kenchan'd my Z to a buddy's house to pick up the Amsoil we ordered. I am getting ready for my last oil change of the season, before she gets stored away for winter :(

But anyways, before that, I delivered the Vette I was working on ALL WEEK to its owner this morning. 10 hours of work later, that is :ughdance: So christian, here is the response to your request for some pics... more INFO (including all the steps and work done for this monster project) in this link in the Lounge/DSLR section:

Thanks Beach... I am in for your pics of the R32!!! And yeah I'd LOVE to do your Z32. Nissan paint is SO much easier to work with than GM clearcoat. ugh.

Also, THANK YOU again for the remote trigger suggestion. I LOVE my trigger for my D60.

Tonight, taking wife out to dinner in the Z... looking forward to a long drive.

I dunno how to describe the difference, other than it's definitely better.

huh, did you push down on the clutch pedal all the way while pulling it off?

:confused:

Took the Z to C & C Williamsburg at 7:20AM, great turnout for our 1st B-Day.

:confused:

I did. But then I only had one hand and I couldn't wrestle the pin out with my right hand crossing over my left. So I tightened a wrench on it and gave it a light tap with a hammer.

oh ok, sounds good then. :tup: i did read some of them were real stubborn.

does the pedal have that much slop(play) at the top without the spring? :confused:

SuPErBLuE370z 08-20-2011 04:13 PM

I was going to go for my first time but rain changed that... But as always I was wrong and only sprinkled.... Hopefully next time

Mhm. Maybe 1/2" of free play and maybe 1/8" side to side wiggle. Hopefully those will disappear when I put the new spring in, but it's not too annoying.

Thanks for the info. Yah, I think the piston alone will stop the wiggling. :)

Someday... I am going to get a PorterCable so I can do it. It is swirled really bad.

You are very welcome! Glad to help.

One of our instructors today was Thomas. He drove with A.M. in the Continental Tire Series at Leguna Seca in July, so we had something to talk about.

Hello Mr. Onzedge. Talk to me a little bit about your Stillen intake: How do you like it? What kind of gains are realistic with it (4-6hp)? I really like the way it looks in the engine bay... Much better than I thought it would.

Red__Zed 08-21-2011 01:56 PM

Flipping front tires, playing with alignment a little bit.

hahaha, sounds great. :tup: hey MJ is the king. :) RIP

so the other day i asked my older kid who's been into nothing but construction equipment (bulldozers, excavators, dumptrucks, absolutely no interest in cars) wat he likes these days. he said he luvs my Z cause it's super smooth, fast, and good looks.

:eek: <= kenchan

i almost crapped in my pants. :tup:

Dzel 08-21-2011 08:41 PM

Noice Ken I love when my kids take interest in the Z
