/\ Nooooo Nick! Not another one!

Well, I hope everything is ok, buddy. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you out of a jamb, ok?

Nick911sc 11-30-2011 09:45 AM

Appreciate the support!

It's not definite yet... But will probably happen.

But priorities in life change pretty quick and as I'm going to be getting married soon and looking for a house the Z might need to go for the time being in order to get other things straight.

Anyone looking for a Z in the NE area should get in touch with me. It's a garage queen and the guys at the meets can tell you how clean it is lol

Very nice. I really like that knob. Whats the weight VS stock though???

FL 4Motion 11-30-2011 07:21 PM

received two packages for the Z today. One from Forged Performance containing two bottles of Motul comp. gear oil 75w140 for the rear diff. Second one from Z1 with 4 bottles of Redline MT 85 for the trans and also the Nismo finned rear diff cover.

Will be swapping fluids/getting the cover installed sometime in Dec after wifey attends 2 day track event at Daytona this weekend. :tup::driving:

How'd it come out?

Skeeterbop 11-30-2011 10:42 PM

Looked pretty good, but i need to see it in the light before i make a final judgement.

Srenity 11-30-2011 11:08 PM

Got my Stillen front lip that I bought no Black Friday sale in today. Probably not going to install it until I get some EVO-R side skirt blades to even out the look. Other than that drove it to Pismo for Dinner.

Hopefully to your approval, those scratches on the rear deck were pretty bad. In for pics.

Are they supposed to have way less grip on dry pavement? I thought it would be the opposite with the treads, but I guess more surface area on summers is why summers are better on dry [and warm] roads?

not really you probably need to break them in a little more. new tires have release lube from the mold, also any tires that have been stored for some time have dry outer surface that needs to be broken through with normal driving.

snow tires have deep tall tread so the squirm is quite noticable at first but you'll get use to it. in the winter it's all about safety and getting through without an incident. :D in actual snow there is a night/day difference between snow and all-season tires. summer tires in snow for RWD is pretty much like parking your car under a telephone pole with 100 pigeons. :icon17:

kenchan 12-01-2011 12:47 PM

Srenity's going to have a busy weekend coming up. :D

Ok - this makes sense. When I first installed them, my VDC would come on even accelerating in 5th gear... Now it seems to be a lot less. I still don't know the limits of the car though. I'm afraid to even take a turn off of a road...
