Haven't driven my car in two weeks. Boooooo. Life can get so busy. Today I found out there is a water leak between my water meter and the shut off valve in the house. Been digging and can't find nothing. Please don't be in the slab!

That is not happy news. I hope it is not too bad. Pipe in slab repairs fall into the "This Sucks" category.

Installed RE-11's in the front today and gave it a much needed oil change.

Tomorrow are spacers and next week I should have springs!

Good evening, Mr.onzedge! :tup:

happytheman 09-15-2011 08:50 PM

I incidentally turned VDC off today too, and subsequently had some good fun getting sideways! Big grins all around!

On the downside..it's the beginning of love bug season! They're EVERYWHERE!

Quick wash, and all is good! :tup:

Red__Zed 09-15-2011 08:51 PM

Took a couple pics of the 500z. More to come once I have decent lighting....

What did I do today? Lots of thinking!

I'm going to be ordering CNT Resonated Test Pipes for the Z...My inspection is up in October so it only makes sense to wait until after my inspection to get them installed. My only thought now is when should I order? Do I order now and have them laying around staring me in the face say "install me install me you know you want to." Or do I wait a little longer to order so it will arrive closer to when they can be installed? Oh the agony

I have a friend with a lift, so I'm pretty sure he can help me out with the install.

As far as stuffing steel wool in the O2 bung, does the type of steel wool matter? Or anything I can roll up and put in there is going to be good?

I installed 15/20mm spacers with the replacement studs. Took about 1.5hrs without air tools.

BajaZ 09-16-2011 09:09 PM

i did nothing .. and it took me this whole week ;)

Fire 09-16-2011 09:16 PM

Well guys have to say today was one of the worst days in my life. Not Z related though. If somebody's stories don't sound right they probably aren't and make sure you don't get dragged into thier sh*t. I had posted too much info and edited this message. Keep safe guys.

Have you chosen a nice, peaceful pastel from the Martha Stewart collection? :icon17:

It calms them down.

onzedge 09-16-2011 09:20 PM

No Z action today and tomorrow is the Datsun Parts Swap Meet. Mrs. onzedge was happy to see me loading bumpers, heads and carbs into my truck tonight. Pics tomorrow.

370zproject 09-16-2011 09:36 PM

Thanks, you have a good one also, Fire.

happytheman 09-16-2011 10:25 PM

I fought off many love bugs today. Many hung on for dear life on the trailing edge of my windshield...but the speed was no match for their little legs!:icon17:

@Fire, hope everything is ok. Pm me if you would like to talk.

cptspeed 09-16-2011 10:34 PM

Love bugs are the devil!

TGIF! hope you sell your bits tomorrow at the datsun meet. :tup:

Fire 09-17-2011 08:29 AM

Thanks Happy. Taking things one day at a time. Luckily we have a strong family and are helping each other thru this. Basically my brother in law was involved with illegal drug activities and will be in prison for a long time. He involved my sister and risked her going to jail also. She has 5 kids at home one only 6 months old. Come to find out he also was involved with it at my house and I could have lost my house. My parents live with me so he could have cost 9 people thier houses. As I said in my post watch the people you are around if it doesn't look or sound right it probably isn't.

Nick911sc 09-17-2011 09:10 AM

25 mile drive to my gf's house. I was all like :driving:

mjg 09-17-2011 09:15 AM
