We will see. The rear has only 2 settings. I think I def want the stiff one there. The front is where Im a little iffy. It'll end up being soft or mid Im sure. Im gonna have to to some experimenting.:driving:

No Z action for me lately. Havent driven her in two weeks either. Going for an alignment Monday.

felt like i was in the matrix for a moment as i watched this thing twirl through the air nailing my hood. left a huge black mark n some small scratches. luckily came off easy enough with a quick detail and some compound.

I've experienced this moment, too. It's a weird side-effect of target fixation.
Unfortunately, in my case the flying chunk of tyre left three gouges in the hood that look like claw marks.

very nice! the closer you get to the Z (the closer you focus) the more you can throw the background out of focus. that front lip goes great on your car:tup:

Thanks Dallaz! I love this lens, but now I have the craving to look for a telephoto lens haha. Thanks for all the help you gave me when I was trying to decide. :tup:

Christian, noice 50mm, which brand and how much$? I had a chance to shoot with a 50mm and it's on my list. No worries on the blurry first shot, it's meant to shoot close ups.

Skeeter got it, it's a Nikkor 50mm 1.4G and I bought it for around $415 shipped through Amazon. I was debating getting it used off a photography forum but this is one item I would rather buy new.

Tell me: how's the Swift drop been with regards to the FI cans getting scraped? Have you had any issues?

I have only ever scraped the cans once, and that was very lightly on this very high speed bump. I normally approach them at an angle which I did for the front but someone was coming the other direction so I had to straighten out and that's when the cans scraped a bit. I bought my exhaust from Juruki whose car is much lower and they already had very light scrapes when I got it so I wasn't too upset.

yah, you might need aftermarket endlinks if you use a real stiff setting. the THK's dont last too long. :D (starts to rattle at low speed on uneven surfaces).

:tiphat:

Drove devils highway from Clifton, AZ to Alpine, AZ. It's a very fun and beautiful drive. The first 30-40 miles is every bit as twisty as the tail of the dragon. Total elevation change is 6k feet at it's highest point. Highest oil temp I saw was about 255-260.

I know what you mean Luna I got hit by a large woodchip and it left a chip on my hood.:shakes head:
Recieved and instaled my battery tender from the WalMart Social Club. I had to order mine as they didn't stock it at my local store. Took just a few minutes and I will know that in the spring my car will start right up. I put Sta-Bil in the gas a few days ago.:driving:
Goint to put down a deposit on a 15 day Hawaii Cruise Jan 2013. Looking forward to it.:eekdance:

Kewl Skeeter. I'm soo looking forward to next years Z show and driving the Tail topless.(Well the car topless cause you guys don't want to see me topless) LOL My only planned mod for next year is a Go-Pro to record the fun. :tiphat:

hello, mr.onzedge. :tup:

Fire- it's already snowing down there in NY? :confused: im hoping to motor my Z at least until halloween... :eekdance: last year i was able to get to Thanksgiving. :eekdance::eekdance:

temps are falling starting tonight though... need to order up my cheezo all season floor mats for my G...

No snow yet but supposed to get very cold next weekend. Has been raining just about everyday though. I'll take the car out any chance I get before the snow comes.

Been driving with VDC off last few days, for October we've had amazing weather in the low 20's (low 70's in F for you americans :) )

It stayed home yesterday but driving all today...and its clear skies instead of rain. I'll be sad, I'll be storing her for winter in maybe a month or so...so enjoying every last minute
