Thanks Kenchan... I love it. In fact, this is part of my "what did you do with your Z today" story.... I gave a buddy of mine a ride in my Z today, post-install of my Invidia CBE. He drives a 2011 Subaru STi btw (sweet car too). Anyways, he loved the looks/sound of the exhaust... called it just a plain great sounding exhaust...not too loud, not obnoxious, not too deep, not tinny... Just Perfect.

So perfect in fact, that when we got back to the office, we looked up Invidia's for his STi, and I hooked him up with the same sponsor from our forum, and he's ordering the Invidia Q300 exhaust for his STi!!!!! Damn, I should have been in sales. Have you guys heard the Invidia on an STi??? Damn. It sounds good. I should have been in sales. :icon14:

What was your oil consumption, exactly? Quarts per 1,000 miles?

Holy crap. Sorry to hear. I thought it was a joke, honest. So what happened? I thought oil consumption issues were with G's and Z's from 2005-2008ish or so. It's still prevalent in our new 2010's?

I changed my oil already.... at 500 miles on the odo, total. Oil was fine. Now you have me worried. I should check my level when I get home tonight. :icon14:

wow, you actually step on the skid pads? Maybe I'm the only one here who still has the protective plastic (from the factory) on the skid pads :) I still haven't removed them. In fact, I make special care I don't step on any part of the sill :)

FromG2Z- i'll take a listen when i get home~! :)

mine burns oil when i fill to the top dot on the dipstick. this was the same way on my G35C in the beginning. after the burn off (say after an oil change to top dot), i kept the oil around the 3/4 mark on the dipstick as anything more kept burning off for some reason. i could smell burnt oil too in my garage after a nice drive.

after 10k miles or so, no issue... i know cause each oil change i would fill to the top dot, no smell, oil at near top dot on dipstick every other week or so i checked. :)

Oh, you must be talking about the door sills..ya, never really touch that.

I'm talking about the skid pad on the floor mat, basically where you would heel/toe when shifting. I armor all'd that, and ya, bad idea lol :confused:

I'm getting nervous that I ordered my clutch and it's been 3 weeks and still have t even received a shipping status. Add to the fact that there are complaints of failure of the Fidanza flywheel that I have sitting in my garage...I'm about to money up for an OS Giken.

Dang. 3 weeks is a long time. BTW: What are you hearing about the Fidanza? I have a Fidanza in my 240z and it is awesome. I am considering this as one of my options for flywheel replacement. I have heard good stuff about the Jim Wolf flywheel, too.
