I did on the my final run, it was much better. My clutch didn't get heated up and i didn't roll backwards either. I posted a thread in the drag strip area looking for some suggestions. The parking brake was suggested by a guy in a NISMO 350, he seemed pretty cool. He did walk away from me on that second run when my clutch slipped though

Cruised some nice roads near Chadds Ford PA... (like this one Rt 926)

I received a lot of compliments on my Z yesterday. From flag guys on the side of the road giving me thumbs up to little kids screaming "nice car!!!" Its funny, I commented in a post a week or so ago stating that nobody has ever refered to my car as "cute". Well I drove my Z to a hot tub delivery yesterday cause the customers were super close to my house so I was gonna go straight home from the job. The woman came out and said "oh my what a cute little car what is it?" I said a Nissan Z, a 370. She asked if it was older, I laughed. How could you confuse it for an old car?? It looks so "new". Then her little kid got off the bus and freaked out over it, lol I think he thought his folks had just purchased it. Lots of attention yesterday, made me proud to be a Z owner(not that Im ever not proud).
Besides that Im still looking at my Stillen sways and pushing off the install since its such a PITA to jack it up. Car finally goes into the body shop next week to fix the damage from the deer I hit back in August. New hood and front bumper. Itll be nice to have all fresh paint on the nose since my current paint is beyond chipped up.

Picked this up today. Carbotech XP 8's, ARP studs for the front (already had them on the rear), and Redline MT85 transmission fluid. Can't wait to get it on Monday.

Thanks Ken. Right now, I really don't have a choice.
I did notice that the spray is, for lack of a better description, oilier and more viscous than a detailer. You can see how it's made to suspend the dirt off the surface of the car. Waterless is actually faster than soap and water when you factor in dragging out the hose, filling the soap bucket, drying the car. and then picking everything up. I can see it as a great way to go up north at winter time. I actually did the car in the garage today. I guess I'm old school, because I miss the "old way". Maybe I'm just old!

I have used Optimum No Rinse on my cars for the past 3 years. I have yet to use a hose with the Z, if you work in small sections and make sure your wash media is good, you will not have to worry about marring the paint and it is much much faster and easier. I personally am not sure why many people are so worried about no rinse wash solutions. When used appropriately, they are just as effective and safe as a hose and regular car wash solution. On another note, I washed the Z today like usual. I took a girl out last night to dinner through the canyons, but on the way back I was going 60 through one turn and there was a stream of water running across the road and once I hit it, the back end immediately stepped out. The back got so far out I had to turn the wheel a full rotation just to correct. Drifting on a two lane road with the cliff or the wall next to you was not the best feeling haha, but she loved it for whatever reason. ![]()
