I got to do this with my Z today:

:icon14: :eek: :mad: :icon23: :shakes head:

Aww man, it seems that Kenchan's preventative measures don't look overly paranoid now! :(

I know you have a 40th but what year is that and whats the production date.

It is a 2010 made on January 8, 2010.

haha, np! my endless pads have probably another 15K remaining so i have plenty of time. :p

You should find out which part you have that failed,mine is 6/10 and had the "c" prefix so far so good.

Good luck I hope you get your car back soon.:hello:

Agreed. Its a beautiful looking system.

Hey Daemon, those pipes sure are looking good! :)

What dates are the ranges to be weary of? All '09s?

Edit: never mind..just used the powers of Search!

woah, i need to update this... your car could be using RevC-A1 version.

What is the correct revision level?

RevC was used for the GTR's recall. RevD is the latest There appears to be 2 versions for RevC.

RevC-A1 and a RevC-B1. i have the latter in my car now. i am not sure which version is on your car... RevA and RevB we know appears to be bad lots.

im using standard metric screws on mine and have a little kit in the truck with my facom 12mm ratchet, disposable gloves and my droidx as my flash light just in case i need to replace it again in the field. :D would be a 3-4min job for me. :p

Why didn't you get a #48700-JF00D Kenchan?

wasn't available at the time. ive not read GTR's after the recall using RevC to have repeated problems so i am assuming RevC does the trick.

GTR folks mentioned the failure seemed to occur between 12K-20K miles for them....well, after 2.5yrs of ownership im still at 8K. :D so it will be a while before i get into that potential problematic time.

Thanks, I'll let ya'll hear them tomorrow.:D

daemon- definitely looking good! :tup:

:iagree:

Here's the (for anyone interested) JF00D starter lock:

You can also find it here for under $500 bucks $497 to be exact.
Go to courtesyparts.com in the search box highlight 370Z or Z34 type in the search box next to it 48700-jf00d and it will bring you directly to the part. they also have the fuel sender unit for pretty cheap too for the 09 with the fuel gauge problem

I'm confuzzled...what did you cut? I keep looking at the pics and it's like those "find what's different" cartoon pictures! :bowrofl:

Man, I'm just blind!:tup:

Oh excellent! They are a vendor! Good find MrZ! Thanks for sharing! +rep!

:tup:

Nice fish! I am probably going to be doing the same this weekend. How did you wire yours?

Checked my lock. Revision B ;(

Uh oh...

Broken Z UPDATE
 

So the dealer called and it is the steering lock that failed. The part is on 3 week plus backorder so they are going to pull one from a 2012 they have on the lot and use it to fix mine. I am picking it up tonight. I tell you what -- these guys are awesome and they will definitely be on my Christmas card list for 2012!!!

Thank you again everyone for all the support. You are my best friends and we have not even met yet.

I am getting the rev numbers from the old and new part for those of you interested.

Have a great day!!!!

that's good to hear mr. onzedge

I took my car in this morning to get an annoying rear bumper squeak taken care of. I thought it was the styrofoam underneath but they said the rear bumper was rubbing against part of the tail light housing or something. Anyhow, no more squeak and they washed my car also. :tup:

A gentleman was dropping off his gtr while I was leaving also.

Good to hear! I am happy to see you are getting your Z back really quickly!

mr.onzedge - :tup: sounds great! thanks again for the PM. looking forward to that rev number of the bad one. :D

No more squeaks but lots of swirls I bet!

That could be scary! Around here I wouldn't let a dealership wash my car. The one time they washed my car without asking. When I picked it up and saw it I the lot it looked worse then when I dropped it off and it had swirls all over it. Im not even sure the guy range out the sponge/towel looked like he wiped it down with dirt! I was pissed to say the least! Now on my file it says "DO NOT WASH MIKES CAR!" saw it my self lol. But this year I have no more freeby oil changes do I will probably just be doing them myself......

I would like to know also

Mentally preparing to gut the hole rear of my car this weekend. Prep for 4 point cage.
