What did you do with your Z today II

alcheng · 02-21-2012, 06:43 PM

I am going to pick up some red-line fluid for the transmission, do you guys think I should order the one for the differential too???

Wouldn't hurt. How many miles on your Z? I don't plan on changing mt or different fluid until minimum maintenance recommends...

It has 10,000km on it, so around 6200miles, changed engine oil once already, cos the place I order the tires&wheels also carry red-line, I ordered the transmission fluid already, just wondering should I do the diff at one shot, save time and no harm.

I c. Yah at your milage it's up to you. I'm at about 8.5k miles and don't see myself doing the change any time soon other than engine oil.

Nope, leave the strut bar on, it's not in the way at all. Install was easy as pie. Took about an hour and a half. One thing to note: The brackets that mount the intake pipes to the heat shield boxes go OUTSIDE the box. Also, refer to the instructions "exploded view" whenever you're wondering "hmm... is this where I should use the lock washers or the wavy washers?" You'll see.

Touring and sport/touring drivers note: Prepare to reset all our XM and FM presets, and any iPhone contacts you loaded. You'll have to reactivate your S mode too.

Engine sounds the same at idle and low throttle. From 1/3 to 1/2 throttle you get the high pitched (though quiet) whistle sound. at WOT you get a very throaty growl, and I love it. Much more V8 sounding, not that I really wanted that, but it's good. lol
