Installed the PWJDM Shift knob (so awesome), and then a quick Griots Spray on Car Wash thereafter. Good stuff!

Found the Griots to have great lubricity, and a nice scent. I probably used 20 oz of a 35 oz container though. The spray pump worked really well, applying a generous coating. Very pleased with the product! Thanks for the recommend Mr. Kenchan!

hey i actually MOTORED MY Z TODAY!

yah, i did the steering lock replacement (check out the DIY section) and tried out the PWJDM knob.

looks moronic here but this is because i didnt feel like working on the knob today and just placed it over the nismo knob's rubber piece.

the knob feels good, but the decorative strip in the middle eats at my hand... any way to smooth this thing out a little without using sand paper or a file?

I had the day off again so I motored over to a surf spot I haven't been to in a very long time, surfed for about two hours and took this pic afterwards

how much you want for lessons? I'm a good swimmer.

pedZ · 12-26-2011, 06:58 PM

Installed splash guards today since they were not on the car when I bought it from the dealer. The Z is ready for some spacers now.

I also played around with some 25mm spacers I had to see what they would look like on the stock rear wheels. A little too much for my taste. I'm thinking 15mm front and 20mm rear. Or even 10mm front and 15mm rear.

Left her home, and boy am I glad.
Between the carnage at Best Buy and the accident on I-81S funneling Holiday traffic onto RT22 in Colonial Park, I was glad to be shleppin' around in an old Ford Ranger with a Glock sticker on the back window

here's the link:

DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

i kept the original in my trunk with a 12mm socket and flash light so i can replace it as needed within like 3min.

haha

happytheman · 12-26-2011, 04:43 PM

Yup, it does look a little retarded!

Tougher hands will fix that problem right up! You're welcome!

In all seriousness, I didn't have any issues with the pattern, but I'm a palm shifter.

Want to sell me your stock knob?

gurneyeagle · 12-26-2011, 04:59 PM

Just got back from Dallas and Christmas with the family. Counted eleven Z's on the round trip, mainly Z33's.

Walked into the garage to check on the Z where it has been parked since Thursday, and just stood and admired her for a few minutes.

Beautiful car!

Happy Holidays all!
