Left it in the garage because it was supposed to snow today. Turned out to be to warm so it is raining now. I get to bring it out later tonight.

Sibze · 01-18-2011, 03:33 PM

Ya, my Z is not going to see salt, the rest of the year its my DD

Vegitto-kun · 01-18-2011, 03:36 PM

im glad the snow cleared up

she was standing still for about a month and half

Vegitto-kun · 01-18-2011, 03:44 PM

dirt is the biggest fear for my convert to PW, dust and dirt doesn't show up so badly on the PG.

mick · 01-18-2011, 04:41 PM

yep. big difference between 8.5 sec and 5.0 sec.

but my vw has a much better stereo system than the one in the nismo z, so the drive is not too bad

kenchan · 01-18-2011, 07:38 PM

Can't u use the holes to turn the base of wats remaining of the filter? If all fails use a dremel and cut it.

I don't have 1200 lying around to get the head gasket replaced and apparently this stuff actually works pretty well. And yes this weekend I'm gonna get a spanner wrench and attempt to unscrew it through the holes. I tried to do it with two screwdrivers and broke one in the process. I also broke a channel lock wrench try to get it off. The thing is on ridiculously tight; it's like the welded it to the block haha. And to fend off the flamers- yes I was turning it counterclockwise.

m4a1mustang · 01-18-2011, 07:56 PM

Ah, wasn't sure if you'd DIY or not.

mayhem052 · 01-18-2011, 08:07 PM

Well I'm slowly working up my mechanical abilities but I don't think I would be ready for that kind of job just yet. For now a quick fix will be fine as I don't drive the car much anymore and the main priority is just keeping it from blowing up.

Thought about my Z and how much fun itd be to drive it here on the roads in Atlanta, at least they have hills with up and down sweeping turns. Miami has nothing but on and off ramps for toll roads that are any fun to drive on :P

My Z got dirty because it poured from 4am-6am and the roads were still wet when I left for work
