it's getting much colder outside + wind + rain = :icon14: i can almost sense winter creeping in. need to wash my G again this weekend.

im wondering how well my G35C dust cover will fit my Z. :icon17: im going to be opening the garage door every work day this winter so i know blowing snow will get on my Z. :mad: shall i just buy a new cover for my Z? :confused: i hate car covers in general...

also im not sure if dust cover + some blowing snow powder on top is a good idea... could = mold. or stains...

A bit blurry unfortunately...

The lower the f-stop, the larger your aperture is... the larger the aperture, the smaller the depth of field (range of distances which are in focus) is. This can produce some really cool effects, like having the Z in focus up close, but having the background out of focus, like you have in your third photo. But if you're not careful about focus, it can also leave you with blurry shots.

If you're not going for those sorts of depth-of-field shots, you can compensate for this by setting your camera to aperture priority, and setting a high f-stop (like 8, or higher if your camera/lens has it). This will generally result in sharper images, where if any part of the image is in focus, the whole of it will be.

Last night I went to Pepboys and bought Mobil 1 oil & filter, a new wiper for the rear window and a new tire guage.

All these years I have been using a cheapo free tire guage that I got from my tire shop and after buying a quality one I realized it was wayyy off. All of my tires were underinflated by at least 5psi :shakes head:

huh, you have a rear wiper on your 350Z? :)


yah, i usually run back to back comparisions with several of my pressure guages to ensure accuracy when i first try it out after purchase.

I thought all 350's had rear wipers.

I had to buy a gauge for the 370 because there is not enough sidewall to employ my shoe-toe method of pressure testing.

Oh yeah -- Good day to you, Mr. Kenchan. :tiphat:

Mine didnt go off till I was at about 20 psi if I recall correctly.

blah, you dont need TPMS. i dont use them on my G or my Z. i check psi every other week or so especially when temps are changing this time of year. :) 1psi change per 10F change. TPMS usually triggers at 28psi which is toooooo low. sidewall damage.

juruki- nice wheels. :tup: you will like them for sure. which offset/sizes did you get? mine are 19x9 ET38 (running 5mm spacer) and 19x10.5 ET15. :yum:
