All finished with the clay bar and wax.

I thought today was supposed to be more sunny. Oh well these still came out good.

Had to take an a$$ shot!

Looks nice Demb, but I think you might get introuble with the admin. for posting a$$ shots of your girl.

It's been 2 weeks since I've driven my car

I'm picking it up today...and it's going straight into my garage since it has no exhaust. It's SO loud! The whole interior rattles. I ordered a 3" HKS titanium muffler yesterday and should have the custom exhaust done next week.

Drove mine to work 2 days in a row. Been so hot and the ice cold ac in the Z is nice.

I have to vent... I went to pick up my car from the shop on Thursday so I could take it to Orlando for a photoshoot with a well known company this past weekend. I was told on Wednesday that I could pick it up. I arrived Thursday afternoon and my right rear tire was flat with 2 nails in it.

To make a long story short, I went to pick up the car today after being told the tire would be patched on Monday... STILL a flat tire! That's 80 miles of driving and a planned photoshoot wasted.

That sux. Or should I say they sux. I'd be sure to tell everybody in your area what happened. They should have fixed the tire on Thurs. or sent it to a tire shop to fix it. It would only take a few minutes for a tire shop to fix it. I would think the shop would take a little initiative and get it fixed before you showed up the first time.

Lmao

Sent the car to Nissan to get the fuel sending units replaced. Maybe I won't run out of gas now when I have 50 miles left on the tank!

i usually start thinking about filling up after she passes the 1/2 mark. usually before 1/4 im at the pump.

kenchan · 07-14-2011, 06:45 AM

Yah, unless the shop doesn't have tire mounting equipment that sounds pretty lame.
Althought I would never trust dismount/mounting tires anywhere local other than a few places near me.

BeachZTT · 07-14-2011, 08:48 AM

@Ken- I think that is a perfect starter DSLR. You will have a lot of fun with it. Some of my favorite shots that I have ever taken were with my D50.

@Intrigue- Sorry about your issues. Some of my biggest headaches have surrounded tire mounting... even on my TwinTurbo when I put the 18s on it.

@Fire- I try not to be too biased. I love the images that Canon DSLRs produce and they have awesome glass. I just find that the menus and controls on the Nikon are easier for a new shutterbug to pick up on. More intuitive if you will.

Well here is the update part. I got up this morning and installed my front spacers. The car is at the final stance with the exception of rear camber adjustment. That will probably happen next week with the installation of new rear tires. Hmmm, somehow the fronts look new and the rears are toast. Guess I neet to keep the VDC on more often.

Here are a couple of quick shots...

thanks, beach.

im looking forward to learning photography.

wow, your car looks fantastic!

nice job on the spacer install.

i think your rear camber looks okay, what is the reading on it right now? around -2.6 range? ive been burning through rear tires at 2x the pace of the fronts so i think you're doing it 'right' (?).
