I know!!!!!!! A couple of years ago we got hit with one of these big thunderstorms and my Altima I had at the time was outside, now it was not golf ball size hail, maybe the size of like a green bean, but I did find a few very very small dents on the car, so small I would have to point them out to someone to see them but I knew thet where there LOL. Anyway the Z is all clean and back in the safety of my garage :happydance:

My Z was destroyed by hail before I even got my first oil change done. During the storm a huge branch broke off the tree across the street and smashed the trunk & spoiler too. It was terrible. Body shop pulled all those little dents out perfectly though. I have lived in my area all my 31 years and have barely ever seen hail. Since I got my Z in 09 it has hailed numerous times. Just last week I had quarter size hail fall for about a minute.

yah, sorry to hear about the hail. during PDR training ive worked on some hailed cars and it was insane how many dings i had to push out just to finish one car... it was like popping a football field sized bubble wrap one bubble at a time. :icon14: (ok maybe not that insane :icon17: ).

no z action for me today... :(

Thanks guys! I also picked up a set of Stillen HFC's so I am done for awhile. Other than sways I pretty much have everything that I planned.

Yeah PDR seems tedious. My car was completely dimpled and you couldnt even tell when I got it back. Impressive.

I'm sitting at 1197 miles!!!! That's what it was when I parked her yesterday. Which means... today, when I get home, and take her out for a car show, I should be able to feel what it feels like to rev up beyond 4k :)

ok ok I admit I did go beyond 4k a few times within those 1197 miles, but never anything close to red line. I don't even KNOW what my Z feels like in its full power band.

yah one would need patience and a pretty good aim to do PDR. took me a good year before i could push a panel using my tool to about 0.5mm area accuracy consistently. :)

My dealer told me I didnt have to break the engine in. I did it anyway but def revved it higher than 4k during the period. Nowadays I bounce off the limiter more than id like to admit. Cant wait for a tune so I can get my redline extended. Have fun G2Z, enjoy!!

What's your rev light set at now, Ken? I have it set for 4k rpm right now. Not a lot of fun :(

LOL. I was tempted SO bad to do it a few times... just felt like DRIVING my car. But I held back. Tonight, my car is losing its virginity.
