:rofl2:

if i can figure out a way to smooth out the PWJDM knob i will put it back on the car with out the rubber spacer thingie. right now the nismo Ti knob is on there again. :D

yep, it wouldn't matter. in fact, in my pict where i compare the one from the car and the new one, the one from the car is in it's locked position as it should since the car was turned off.

no issue removing it as you would pull the unit off vertically after removing the 2 bolts. :)

kenchan that thing bothers you that much? It's pretty unnoticeable to me.

not sure on yours, but mine is pretty rough... like almost burrs of steel. i think im going to mask off the brushed part and carefully just file it down. :D i wore gloves while driving today and it literally shredded it a little.

that should work :tup:

Mr.kenchan

nice hand-warmer on a hot summer day.

lol

:tup:

Looks good kenchan. :tup:

I had the day off again so I motored over to a surf spot I haven't been to in a very long time, surfed for about two hours and took this pic afterwards :tup:

That looks pretty good, congrats.

:tup: how much you want for lessons? I'm a good swimmer.

Installed splash guards today since they were not on the car when I bought it from the dealer. The Z is ready for some spacers now. :tup:

I also played around with some 25mm spacers I had to see what they would look like on the stock rear wheels. A little too much for my taste. I'm thinking 15mm front and 20mm rear. Or even 10mm front and 15mm rear.

:tup: Which beach is that Waizzz?

^Looks good, your splash guards are so much nicer than the ones for that came for the 350z!

It's not the swimming part that you will need to manage it's the unrelenting ridiculously cold water. :tup:

Very nice martin. :tup:

:iagree: Lovin the PWJDM CF!

Secret spot ;)

installed my stillen GEN 3s!!!

martin- looks good. :tup:

waizzz- nice scenery! :D

hey so i filed the decorative part of the PWJDM knob a little bit (actually, it took me like 1hr not to scuff up the brushed area. :D

and the mt.fuji didn't look bad so i just kept it like this. i put a little plastic ring i had in my parts bin to raise the boot a little bit. perfect fit. :p (crappy droid pict...)

pedz- those splashguards are looking good! :tup:

yah, if i was to do it i would do 15/15 spacers. im currently running ET33/ET15 (while the rear is 10.5 on my weds), imho the offset looks perfect for stock height.

Looking good Kenchan.

Funny that you mention that... I was just thinking about doing a 15/15 setup. It seems like even the 20mm would stick out a little too much on the rears. Thanks for the input! :tup:

hey thanks! :D

yah, especially when you have the rear splash guards on running 20mm pushes out the inner side of the tire out too far making the splash guard look out of place when looked at from the back. i tried it myself when i had the stockers on and didnt like the look.

if you're lowered then it's a different story. :)


btw, if you do 15's in the front you'll have to use the Type1 stud replacement type spacers.... or be willing to cut the stock studs shorter if you use Type2 bolt-on types.

haha, definitely wasn't talking about coming out with your crazy *** during the winter.

:tup:

yeah, thanks. I'm planning on going with the Type1's on both the front and rear.

in other news, while i was down below the steering column today, i also yanked off this thing... :icon17:

http://www.the370z.com/members/kench...tch-spring.jpg

Nice! And your thoughts on the clutch now?

it feels the same. :icon17: ;)

no, it feels much better, actually. i thought i was driving my G almost. my 04 G's clutch is heavy but very easy to tell where it's engaging.

i have a couple misc springs in my parts bin so i will see if i can find one that will fit at least close to it. i just put the faux piston together without the springs and i didnt notice lateral play someone mentioned. i have like a 10mm travel of dangling pedal.

I have the century spring on mine and it feels great and gets rid of the 10mm travel. I drove down to century spring and asked him if I could buy one and he just gave it to me lol

Well that worked out nice Kingzee. I'm using the century spring too. It helped out with the feel of the clutch a little bit. Definitely a good mod.

:tup: ...did you drive down there or ordered it online? It was only a few miles away from me so I just went there to avoid the minimum order on their website and it seemed like he didn't even feel like selling me just one so he said "take it, we give away samples all the time"

:icon18: LOL :tup: i bet they were like 'the heck are you going to do with just one spring?' :icon17:
yah, i read about the group buy thing.

my car's back into hibernation again so i will search around if i can't find one by spring time. :p

lol, he definitely gave me a weird look when I said I just want one haha

let me know if you have a hard time ordering one, I don't mind driving down there for you, it's usually on my way of places I go so I can stop by

I got in on one of the group buys on this forum. I didn't realize they were local. Otherwise I probably would have done what you did.

By the way, one of these days we are going to cross paths. I am right next door to you in Burbank. :tup:

How does the decorative part feel now Kenchan? It looks great! I'm really interested to hear of your driving opinions. :tup:

surprised I haven't ran into you yet, I'm in Burbank very often. I always wash my car at the self wash on Verdugo :tup:

I know that self wash. I'm only really out in the Z during the weekends but I'll keep an eye out for you.

Got my calendar in today :tup:

thanks everyone, still upgrading etc. Looking to add a body kit or just front lip and a wing. Other things to get: upgrade brake pads, brake lines and suspension.

I'd get that looked at. By a specialist.

... don't know what that is...

My daughter said she got the Starship Enterprise Pizza cutter from ThinkGeek.com site...? The 370Z mouse is from roadmice.com. They have several other mfr/models to pick from. :tiphat:

Told everyone at the house if I should find the Starship Enterprise Pizza Cutter in the drain board, someone was gonna pay dearly!

Spock: "Fascinating!"
Scotty: "She's bypassed like a Christams Tree, so don't give her too many bumps Captain!"
Bones: "Damn it Jim, I'm a Doctor not the Pizza Guy!"

... and yes, I'm a Geek apparently... !
