and props to the nice wash.

For me today, I kenchaned zena around and saw a few zs at the dealerships including a white vert. Also amsoil temps seem to keep oil at under 220

Great stuff guys!

Congrats DLSTR!

Love the vid Mt Tam.

I agree the Z still has presence in the face of greatness.

Both the Z and the Echo, echo look good, onzedge...

No Zing for me today. We took the Xterra and the dog to Corolla/Corova Beach and put about 30 sand miles on her. What a blast!! My dog is exhausted.

I love that truck. Almost four years/96k and not a rattle or squeak. Drove through a half a dozen washouts deep enough to cover the Nissan badge on the nose and she never even whimpered!!!

Wife was pretty nervous though.

I'm excited to get an Xterra, no clue when it will be though..

Now that I have my exhaust on the car I've been bitten by the mod bug.

Curious to ask. I'm thinking of getting sway bars. I know most people say stillen for DD, hotchkis for track.

So that makes it pretty simple for me. Stillens... But then I see people also liking eibach sway bars. Anyone have an opinion between the two?

I am oblivious to the correct settings that should be used on sway bars. I'm looking to stiffen up the ride with a neutral feel(not dialing in extra understeer or oversteer)

got to install my fast intentions non resonated test pipes today, took awhile to get those bolts loose. Ended up breaking a universal adapter. ^____________^

Excellent! My test pipes are one of my fav mods, though i do love em all

Nick911sc · 09-06-2011, 09:41 AM

My car up on the lift when I got the berk installed. Sorry for the crappy blackberry quality

onzedge · 09-06-2011, 09:47 AM

^^^ Nice.

LunaZ · 09-06-2011, 10:00 AM

I've been motoring all over the place in the rain on my nearly dead rear tyres... with the VDC off.
My conclusion is that the car is still very well mannered and you'd have to treat the throttle like an on/off switch to get seriously out of shape.

Yeah, that soft rear sway and the balance of the car do a great job of making sure the front is the first to go unless you really hammer something.

no z action for me today. just looked at her briefly this am before going to work.
need to check tire psi this week as temps are coming down.

Skeeterbop · 09-06-2011, 11:38 AM

dropped mine off at the body shop to get couple dents pulled from where somebody backed into me a couple weeks ago.

Just PDR, they were able to buff out the rest of the damage free of charge. as it is, the estimate is about $370 to get them out. Fortunately the other person's insurance is paying for it.

i use 42psi @ 32-33F on flat stoppers. my garage can get to 25F on the coldest day in winter which means psi only goes down to 41psi at most.

btw, do you need a set of flatstoppers? I have a full set that i wont be using now that my G's a dd. they go for 250+ new.
Amazon.com: Race Ramps RR-FS Flatstopper - Set of 4: Automotive

sell you mine in like-new condition for $175 shipped (it's a fairly big box).
