What did you do with your Z today

Alchemy - that wing is definitely nice. The duck bill is growing on me. What brand is that anyways? Also, anyone have a pic of how it looks on your blue? Someone has to be running it?

As far as test pipes, someone needs to explain to me what those are in the first place... are they essentially straight through pipes that omit the cats or even HFC's? And the purpose is more power and more sound?

Beach - That shifter of your Z32 reminds me of my stock shifter in my FD RX7. I swapped that out for an RX8 knob But anyways, for your Z34, yes, I agree, I too hated the stock knob. It was too tall and bulky. Might I suggest the Nismo Titanium knob? I love mine... it's just the right height, and diameter.... can pistol shift or traditional shift (hand on top).




Z-wise, I QD'd her last night, in preparation for driving her today. I didn't dust all the panels because the lower ones just had too much dust. To avoid swirling, I just did the roof, hood and doors. Will wash her tomorrow anyways. But I did drive her today, so I am once again in a great mood. (p.s. also checked oil, so all is well).

OMG. I kenchaned for my Z 600 miles yesterday. That was after working overnight an 8 hour shift at the hospital. Drove and picked up a firetruck for our fire department. Amazingly after 12 hours from leaving that morning we got back and I wasn't tired Today have to get with my detailer and get it detailed and the wind deflector tinted. to follow. Oh and I got alot of and a couple "what year is that?" "Man that is a sweet ride" Got and returned a wave to a black Chrysler Crossfire at speed. I was going the speed limit behind the firetruck.

hey my wife emailed me that my box arrived. will take a look later on tonight. yah, from the reviews it seems to be a solid product.

yah, good call not dusting/QD'ing really dusty panels. if i MUST dust it for watever reason i use the super lubricity no-water carwash sprays. not going to mention the brand name cause i dont get commission from them but it's by this guy named greeoh.

Yep, increase flow through the exhaust is the main goal. Byproduct is altering the note of the exhaust. The additional chambers on those pipes is the help eliminate the rasp and drone of striaght pipes so that they don't resonate at cruising rpm. The benefit is realized a little more in turbo cars as the less restriction in and out nets higher percentage gains.

Thanks! That is kind of what I was thinking. I saw the CF NISMO and really liked that.
