What did you do with your Z today II

PapoZalsa · 02-25-2012, 09:08 PM

Took the car to the dealer because I believe the Z has a bad fuel sending unit. Fill up and the bulbs only get to 1/2 tank.

Also took the Z to get the vinyl roof wrap. However the guy had a little bit of a hard time so I got it take back to get the edges retouch.

I had that happen once too. Called the dealer and they said I should wait until its time to fill again to see if the problem is reproducable. That's the first thing they're going to want to do when you take it in.

In for pics of the vinyl wrap! Love your color choice, and want to see how it's going to look on mine.

I just used some 3M black silicone. Picked it up at Autozone.

It happened before about 5 months ago, somehow it work again. However since the Z is not my DD I don't fill up every week.

Drove to the dealership and ordered the washers for transmission and diff fluid change. Helped sell a Z while I was there.

Took a friend for a drive on a nice twisty road to ensure I get to drive his RB S13 when its done.

Autox in the morning.

I heard that the 3M works great for holding stuff on, but is a total beyotch if you need to take the price off !

Long story, but the original had q small crack. They sent me a new one, oem painted.). Also, I got a tour of the service dept. My own service tech, and his cell to make direct appointments with, dealer owner thanked me, gave me his cell, etc. Basically, I was treated very well from the plant manager down to the sales rep.
Nissan? I'd call the experiencence average, if that. Lots of communication breaks, distracted sales team dealing with personal situations while I'm trying to talk business, etc. Just kindof "meh".

i recommend you remove the clutch pedal helper spring and replace with a century spring. check the vendor sponsor area MikeLB (i think was his name) sells them. i was lucky to find a friend's friend's friend sell one locally for a G37C which uses the same design and spring rate.

I have this on the way already from a member in Canada. Should be here in 2 weeks or so, allowing shipping.

Went to Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, ca today. There was very little Z representation, I saw 2 350s and 2 other 370s. There was a BMW and s2k army though. There were also your usual bunch of 'vettes and Porsches, 3 GTRs, 2 Ferraris and a Lambo as well as some Mustangs and your usual assortment of STIs, etc. It was way too crowded, though, in the beginner group (there was a GT-r ad Ferrari in the beginner group, btw) so I left early. Also, a fart can Civic spilled oil all over the straight awya and oval which basically scrapped one of our sessions. Anyhow, what's with the low Z turnout at track events I always see a lot of m3s and other groups seem to make it out en masse as well.

I will create an album with some pics this week when i have time.

I can't wait to go for another drive! I feel like a giddy schoolgirl!
