I just got word that my car cover that I returned to Cover Craft for their repair has been approved for a warranty claim!

Technalon® / Evolution®

I've been nearly three weeks without a cover and I park outside so I can't wait to get my cover back!

:tup: cool. hope you get yours (and mine) soon. :D

i just noticed someone was selling a NIB noah cover in the for-sale section. damn it... :mad: :icon17:

:tup: the NOAH is baller but probably overkill for your purpose.

Mine works pretty well year-round but they said that it deteriorated from excessive sun exposure after almost two years of ownership :confused:

The cover has a four year warranty so it's all good ;)

My 240z lives under one of these covers when she is resting and I quite like it.

cool! :tup: good to hear manufacturer's manning up to their promise.


nice. i went with the quick-silver one as ive never heard of them (ive had noah covers in the past) and wanted to try. it is a custom-fit for the Z so should be okay. price was like $170 shipped. as long as it repells water droplets and dont flap around (which it shouldn't since custom fit) im good. :)

Lucky for me I'm that I kept my receipt!

Where did you buy yours?

good organization skillz ftw! :tup: i got mine though a buddy of mine who was ordering the same for his audi. :) usually they sell like $220 or something + shipping but he got a good deal.

Oh cool, ask him for a copy of the receipt too!

This will now be my 4th cover that I have gone through in 4 years!

1) OEM - too small, didn't last very long and crappy material

2) Friends used over - was already in pretty bad condition barely used it two months and then the materials broke down

3) Cover Craft - Lasted almost two years until material broke down

4) Cover Craft #2 - Crossing fingers :icon17:

edited a picture that I took yesterday...

Nice shot, TypeOne.

hahaha! yah, you're right! i will remind him. you use the cover almost on a daily basis then? that's not bad if it lasted 2yrs in that case. :)


:iagree: very clean shot. :D

Yeah everyday, year-round :tup:

Do you ever forget to take it off before you go on a drive? :icon17: ;)

So I cleaned up my G's interior (glass and seats) and afterwards I think I found the source for the rattle. Looks like it was the scissors jack adapter thingie making the metal noise. Added some thick padding. :) with colder weather the D-Specs are tightening up so things in the trunk tend to rattle over bumps.

Also called up Griots that I haven't received my package they shipped out via USPS last Monday.
they said they will send me a replacement via UPS tomorrow. I should've gotten it last week... so now probably too cold outside to use. :( box got stolen by USPS employees probably.

:gtfo2: I will have to drop him a note. Don't tell anyone... but I really like them. :eek:

:icon17: hahaha. it's like a coming out day.

That is a beautiful photo! I didn't do much but hopefully if everything goes well, I'll be going to the drag strip tomorrow night. Also going to see the blue angels and golden knights Saturday at the Amigo Airsho.

:wtf2:

finally weather's looking better and looks like a sunny weekend. :tup: so in prep i will check psi again on the Z tonight after washing my G. :p

TGIF!!! :D

We have good weather here is Sac today as well. Yesterday and tomorrow too.

TGIF, Mr. Kenchan. :tiphat:

sounds great! :tup: happy friday, mr. onzedge.


wooah, my buddy sent me an email just now that my Z's car cover's on its way to me. :p that was quick. :D hope to have it by early next week. this is perfect timing.

It would be a tad hard to see through the front window:

:bowrofl::roflpuke2:

I'm more wondering how do you get into the car.

:icon17:

It is a two-person job.

Had a little sideway action due to cold tires. Awesome. Then I washed her. A clean car is a fast car.

No action the last 2 days....huh...that might be a good thing. Drove to work and back....boring.

Did q quick exterior detail. About to head to the drag strip for the first time. I guess I'll find out how bad I am tonight lol.

Nothing.
Weather has been "meh" and I've been hauling stuff back and forth to the salon, I've needed the truck. Been doing a little photography again.

Thinking about a soft, indoor cover to go against the paint and underneath my Stormproof for winter storage.

:icon18: that's a good looking cover. :tup: make sure to QD the cover after each drive. :icon17: :p


got my G washed up tonight, checked psi on my Z. she is ready to go tomorrow am. :tup:

I will be washing my Z as soon as I get the new cover, I can't wait to have her protected again!

Took my Z to the strip and learned that I have no clue what I'm doing. First run I got red lighted. Not sure how since I didn't leave till the third light went out. My buddy says he think it is cause I rolled backwards (the strip is up hill). Second run I try holding it by slipping the clutch. That was not such a great idea, when i took off i believe it had heated up and when i shifted to second it slipped horribly. The third and final run I used the e-brake to hold me and dropped it as I let off the clutch. All three launches were horrible, way to much wheel spin. This was my first time ever so it was definately a learning experience and my times did improve slightly. I think next time I may try leaving traction control on though. Here is probably the worst time slip ever on this forum with a 370: RT: 1.345 60': 4.184 Speed: 69.87 660': 13.124 Speed: 92.70 ET: 18.470 I need to learn how to get off the line. The guy beside me ran a 15.968 at 88.5 so with the speed I should have at least been low 15s. Guess I need to get more practice.

why don't you preload by holding the ebrake so you don't roll backwards?

I did on the my final run, it was much better. My clutch didn't get heated up and i didn't roll backwards either. I posted a thread in the drag strip area looking for some suggestions. The parking brake was suggested by a guy in a NISMO 350, he seemed pretty cool. He did walk away from me on that second run when my clutch slipped though :(

skeeter- practice makes perfect. Don't worry about it. Now you know wat not to do and that in itself was valuable experience. :)


Pulling out my Z in 30. :p

:tup:

What sorta revs were you launching at?

It's Saturday!!! It is master-of-my-own-destiny-fro-today day!!! (as long as Mrs. onzedge says it's OK)

Greetings, Mr. Kenchan :tiphat:

:iagree:

Cruised some nice roads near Chadds Ford PA... (like this one Rt 926)



Then I endured this for 2 hours as I tried to get home from Philly...

About 4k, next time i go out I'm going to start at 3k.
