I will take pics when done.:ughdance: Oh and my car cover fits over the wing also. Where did my signature go with all my mods????

sounds good... yep, step bits are very good tool to have. :p

man, AK needs to slow down with his forum headers. :icon17:

Just did the shift knob exchange. I got the titanium nismo shift knob. I tried to be very careful not to mess up anything but ended up haveing the leather on the shift knob to rip off completely and my vice grip was over a towel but it still ripped through the towel and made a big scar.

congrats on the install, but you should have followed what I did and used a strap wrench on the shift knob.

I too have the nismo titanium and love it!

Finally! Congratulations. :tup:
Preparing for obvious questions about intakes and exhausts that will follow.

Nismo89 04-02-2011 08:40 PM

thank you much! very excited, just a base.... but my own none the less.... My moms not too happy....

dwntwnall4u 04-02-2011 08:55 PM

Have not done much with my Z since the purchase 3 months ago except short drives. Really want to start the mods but really hate to order stuff and wait.

Junior370z 04-02-2011 09:09 PM

Installed my new wing today.

Tauruszguy 04-02-2011 10:14 PM

Came out of hibernation today and Damn it felt good!!! Having some mods done at Project X in Chicago on tuesday. :)

chops 04-03-2011 11:31 AM

drove it a hell of a lot yesterday! points of interest:

- first time i really let her loose. an e46 m3 was tailgating me and pulled upto me at a freeway onramp light. smashed on him from 0-70 then threw it into 6th and watched as he flew by me :hello:

- filled her up @ $4.35/gallon. ugh...gas prices need to come down. my average mpg is now just over 23mpg. grandma driving is so not fun

kenchan 04-03-2011 11:36 AM

sausage flyby... nice. lol :D

kenchan 04-03-2011 12:48 PM

Motored the Z this am but since it didn't rain just QD'ed the car with SpeedShine. :p
Too windy to wash today anyway.

Corona370z 04-03-2011 03:43 PM

Took it 150mph on the Autobahn...doesn't even feel like its going fast:driving:...its awesome

LunaZ 04-03-2011 04:29 PM

This:

It's a winding road that takes me North over several mountains into PA's coal region. It's particularly popular with the sportbike crowd and they tend to attract the ire of the locals which results in a State Police presence on weekends once summer comes. For right now, it was pretty much empty.
The heavy rains we've had did a good job of clearing away the gravel that would normally be in the turns this time of year.
VDC OFF = switchback fun = "Hello, Tire Rack?"

Driving a 370Z in that neck of the woods produces a lot of "what the heck is that?" kind of stares from people sitting on their front porches.

^Nice Z's, bet it's hard to decide which one to drive?

I washed mine and the bro's today, and filled it up @ $4.19 pper gallon. Total $73.00 so I had to settle with driving around the block.

Mt Tam I am 04-03-2011 11:16 PM

I gave the car a good wash and put her away dry.

Mt Tam I am 04-03-2011 11:23 PM




What years did they make the Z's with vertical rear defroster wires? My 280 had horizontal wires.

USINC97 04-04-2011 03:41 AM

Left it in the garage. The weather sucked.

I'm getting mine sand blasted by an el paso sand storm

kenchan 04-04-2011 09:30 AM

Going to redo the cf wrap on the passenger door switch today. Looks okay now, but I know can make it better by tucking the wrap under. Going to pull the sw assy from the door.

kenchan 04-04-2011 12:09 PM

here we go. :p

No street racing, i was at Welcome To The Official Speed World Dragway Home Page, Orlando Florida

I ran the 1/4 in 13.9 with my VDC off. @101.3mph

next run i did the 1/4 in 13.3 with VDC on @103.1 mph

Seems to me when i rev around 4-5k with VDC off i just spin. With the VDC on, i reved around 2.5k

Apologies man, the original post was a little vague and my assumption was wrong. Those are some pretty good runs with only the headers on there.
