1. Oil change (Mobil 1 0w-40)
2. Trans flush/change (Redline MT-85)
3. Rear Diff flush/change (OEM fluid)
4. Power Steering flush/change (OEM fluid)
5. Clutch/Brake fluid flush/change (RBF 600)
6. Inspect brake pads (xp8s are holding up very well, better than expected)
7. Inspect/retighten CBE bolts (one was loose)
8. Ordered new hatch struts (per TSB for sticking hatch release issue)

Big thanks to Derek at Deland Nissan for being awesome as usual! :tup:

Yes they do. But you have to race in beginner class. Safety reasons.

Fire 01-04-2012 06:37 PM

D*** Spohn I'd like to do that but I like sipping my Whiskey sours by the ships pool or beach at Aruba better LOL. Just found a link to a cruise to ZDayZ. Looks like fun. But they said no acting like a tool. Hmmm I don't know if I can conform LOL I like tailgating and passing everybody then slamming on the brakes making evrybody else check up . :rock:

Going to the local cat and dog buffet tonight. As I say a billion Chinese people can't be wrong. :ugh2: Oh they have a sushi bar also. The guy makes them as you watch. I need a Rosseta stone lesson in ordering sushi LOL.

Does the Z run faster on your B-day??

Thanks all for the birthday wishes! I appreciate it sooo much! :)

No, the Z does not go any faster...but because I'm another year older I perceive it as such! :)

and just got my car back from hitting a deer last week, definitely do not need it to go back into the shop for any reason

brucelidat 01-04-2012 07:06 PM

damn, lot of road hazards in NC, it seems

Hmmm, and that's where I'm planning on moving too....

Hey happy you can move up here to sunny and warm NY. It was a balmy 0 degrees today. I almost went swimming in my pool.:eekdance:

USMCASA 01-04-2012 07:31 PM

NC isn't that bad. Deer are only a problem in the sticks... a place I never go to except for an Xmas party that one night and thats when I got screwed. As for the chair, it was in a trailer being pulled by a comfort suites van which was being driven by an under educated obama supporter... Didn't even stop or miss a beat and probably could care less that he's putting land mines on I40

Fire 01-04-2012 07:34 PM

Hmmm chair mines never thought of that. Whan I was stationed in NC the deer where the size of dogs, are they still that small?

gurneyeagle 01-04-2012 07:49 PM

I think most politicians on both sides suck and need to be kicked out of there. Plenty of idiots, blue and red. Plenty of under-educated idiots supporting both sides also which is why our whole system is a big clusterf** right now. There are reasonable individuals on both sides as well, we just seem to be the minority sometimes.

brucelidat 01-04-2012 08:01 PM

and let's leave it at that for politics and get back to important matters like avoiding wildlife and furniture on the highways. btw, the old saying about a deer caught in the headlights is totally true, they just stay there and stare at potential death rushing towards them

that's a pretty small deer...don't they get to hundreds of pounds?

brucelidat 01-04-2012 08:09 PM

how was your car after hitting a 100lb one?

We'll see, I was using the Pepboys brand for the last few times and it worked fine.

This new one is a Wax+wash so it has to be as good :icon17:
