I wish I chose to go to SDSU I go to a ITT I am extremely unhappy but I'm to far in to turn around. I'm going for IT.

No not yet :stirthepot:

:icon17:

Thanks Happytheman! :tup: I am hoping the 19in will give the very similar 'look' as the 20in and the gap of the wheel-well, LOL, I am on stock ride-height :icon17:

Maybe you are unhappy, but you should not be. When you graduate, you are immediately employable. Not so much for what I did at SDSU, which was to get a BS in Experimental Psychology with Minors in French, Russian Literature and Statistics. Interesting disciplines, but not ones that call out "hire me!".

I have used a black baby sock in the past during hot days. Doesn't look too bad either. I had one with micky mouse on it for a while too. That gave it some a little fun factor. Right now, all my shifter knobs are leather covered so it's not a issue presently.

I know I'm a couple days behind.... This thread covers so much ground in a couple of days.

She bought it from the mall where she used to work...they had a temporary kiosk setup selling the stuff.

Check out their site, they sell it there too: Waterless Products : FW1 Racing Formula, HIGH PERFORMANCE CLEANING WAX IN AN AEROSOL CAN

Groovy. Thanks.

:tup: :tup: :iagree:

A clean Z is always :yum: :yum:

Forget about the sock or whatever protection over your knob... leather is the way!! :tup: :tup:

Nothing to be unhappy about there, brother! IT is what I do as well. What are looking to get into, specifically?

Just to stay on thread, I just tucked my Z in the garage for a little nap until I have to take her back out at 1am (for work), have made myself a mean margarita, have tucked my feet under myself on the couch and I'm settling down to catch up onn some reading! :tup:


BWAHAHhahaha!!:icon18:

Way to kick 'em when they're down! Damnit man! :)

I can't help giving the Michelins a plug when I can. No insult intended. :tiphat:

I know, I know! I'm just :stirthepot:

Mr.onzedge, I was convinced by you already :tup:, but the price for the Michelins is about $500 more than the Continental DW.. :shakes head:

Continental DW tomorrow :tup:

What size Contis are you pulling the trigger on?

Mr.Alcheng -- The Conti DW gets good marks. I look forward to your feedback and driving impressions.

I also look forward to feed back! :tup:

:happydance:1,000th Post!:happydance:

:tup:

I remember my 1,000th like I remember my first beer, my first car, my first love (with another person).

Congrats. :tiphat:

Promise you guys an initial feedback will pop up in here tomorrow :tup: :tup:

I go with the OEM 19in size, which is 245/40-19 and 275-35-19.

Don't want to go for something too crazy because it is a summer DD :icon17:

You guys are the best friends a guy could have... enablers. :tup: Its even in my colour!

Yeah, when I saw the kid pull the car around I said to myself, I gotta get a pic of this! lol. Showed it to my wife, she did one of these :eek: :icon14: Sad really. :shakes head:

I checked out the shops link you gave me. Looks like they have all the right tools to do a good job. I like the brands they carry too. I'm going to have to give them a call.

I'm looking forward to your pictures. Your car is going to look sweet!

Interesting. Where are you picking those up at? I say interesting, because I did not see them in OEM sizes on Tire Racks' website.

Congrats! I just surpassed 1000 this week! Where's the beer at? Lets celebrate!

Unfortunately Im super strapped for $$$ right now. Esp w ZDAYZ coming up and just paying my taxes. I can really only afford to replace the rears right now not buy a full new set:( So 2 new Hankooks it is. Also considering just swapping the tires to the opposite rims since the current outsides of the tires arent too bad:ugh2:

10 more and I hit 3000. And thats without 1 post in the word association thread:icon17:

Just emailed Michelin to find out if they intend to produce the Pilot Super Sport in 285/35 19. :tup:

For the price Continental DW is a awesome tire.
I have DWS on my Maxima and that is what convinced me to buy a Z again. That Maxima drives like it is on rails.
I have the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the Z and they are better. However, if I decide that I need a less expensive replacement in the future the DW/DWS would be a tire that I would buy. For the little you'll give up in handling you'll gain in ride comfort and quietness. Plus, you'll save about 500 bones. Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 is another wise choice if your looking at DW. Check to see actual tread widths etc... In Hankook Ventus, you need to get 285/35/19 and 255/35/19 to equal stock widths etc.. It might be the similar for DW.

Hum - Looks like you might have to go with 245-45-19 up front on the DW. I do not see a 245-40-19 in the DW. It works out to be almost exactly the same size as the factory Bridgestone specs.

Edit: For just over $1000 you might want to look at installing 255-40-19 Fr and 285-35-19 Rear DW tires. I was looking at the numbers and it might be a really nice set up. I wonder if these sizes would fit without rubbing on stock height car with stock rims? Anyone know?

Good luck alcheng. I'm sure you'll be really happy with your choice. :tup:

What I did with my Z today:

Found some newly repaved country roads to take in my area. The roads used to be very rough. I just found out they have been repaved. It's like getting someone to build a race track in my back yard. Didn't see but two cars the whole time I was out. The only thing I have to look out for is coyotes though. Almost took one out that was confused because I came up on him so fast.

Loving my new track.

Yeah, but there's only like 10 other postwhore threads that you can participate in! :tup:

My point was that I dont post whore:tup:

Looked at car in the garage and still getting pollen on it.

Very true all in the eye of the beholder though :tup:

Mr.onzedge, you have 14k+ posts now, how do you feel after having 14 pints and 14 lovers... :icon18:

I just Google'd Mr.Onzedge and this picture came up... weird... ;)

That would be nice. However, did you know that they are making the 295/30/19 that is only .6 dia shorter, about a inch wider and one pound heavier? In contrast, the 285/35/19 would be a little taller and only about .4 of a inch wider than stock widths. Not a upgrade over stock as far as I can tell. It would make for a higher gear ratio(lower numberically) and not a noticable difference in traction or look. It would however give you a little more bead protection on the stock rims. It seems to be sufficent as far as I can tell.

Hey that's me when i worked that trade show. I was drunk, so forgive me.

It feels :tup:

No problem Mr.GaleForce :tup:, you can ask for Eddie, or give him an e-mail, he replies very quickly with details, if you are contact him in these couple days is even better, because I am going to see him tomorrow, just mention to him Alex who drives the white 370z that purchase the Vossen, he will know.

Thank you Mr.Mecinoid :tiphat: The one I got is DW, which is summer tires, and the DWS is All-Seasons High Performance, and I hear good things on both. :tup:

mmm, I found it interesting too, because I found the OEM size with the DW before, I hope it is not because they just discontinued the front size, because the OEM size for rear is still on the chart. :confused:

Mine is FRP but I am thinking about painting it matte black rather than matching the color. This is so that it will match the front lip and side blades that I will install at the same time. I know if I install it as intended the mattle black will look pretty good other than the small step that only slightly bugs me. If I had it molded I think it will looker cleaner but I am not sure if black would be the way to go anymore. I have some time to think about it as I have other fish to fry before I install all of my body mods. Thanks for feedback :tiphat:

It works pretty good. I repaired one large scratch on my 40th.

What did the last sentence mean? :confused:

I think the biggest things that caused me to not consider the 295/30 route is that the miminum wheel width listed was a 10.5". The stock Rays are 10". Also, Kenchan mentioned that the Z would look lifted. Considering that I have the stock suspension, I can't afford to appear to have more wheel gap than i already do.

As you can see I'm majorly torn over this dilemma, and I've thought long and hard over it. I sure wish I could see some Zs with 295s on it, stock Rays and stock height. :(
