Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today II

Boy, you really like your IPAs, don't you? That's ok, I know you've stepped outside of the IPA box so it's ok! :tup:

In all seriousness, of the IPAs the Dogfish is a really good one. Have you had the 120?

then once a year i usually do a full detail which takes about 16-20hrs. i use to be able to do it in 2 days but lately i must be getting old or something cause i need to break it up into 4-5 days, sometimes longer. :icon17:

8 hours detailing today.. never did get to the interior, besides waxing the jambs.

I used to live off IPA's. Victory Hopdevil and Troegs Nugget Nectar are my favs. Nowadays lots of hops gives me a headache so I have to shy away from them:(

I was drinking Delirium Tremens at dinner with my GF tuesday. Also had a Spaten Optimator for the first time in prob 10yrs. It was one of the first "good" beers I tried. Still as good as the first time I tried it, hadnt had a dopplebock in awhile.

Thats awesome:tup: I take it you have been to the brewery?? I really like Troegs, all their stuff is good. The Nugget Nectar really is one of the most delicious beers I have ever tasted. And I have tasted A LOT!

I pointed out the prob to the tech. Then we sat in a brand new Z so he could feel how the trans is supposed to be. He admitted something wasnt right so he is looking into it. They said they would be callin back this afternoon w further details.

I had similar problem with Nissan and my 350Z so I installed a B&M short shifter and adjusted the stop as recommended by B&M. You put the car in fifth gear and use a feeler gage to gap it properly. Too much issues, too little issues. For kicks I reset the factory manual tranny shifter using the same technique. It shifted better .... but, not as good and the B&M short shifter. When I regapped it with the stock shifter almost all the knotchiness went away. The short shifter was so much sweeter though !

Good luck !!

Well on the shoes subject...I only got the rears. :confused: I then took a look at the tracking and it shows that only a label was generated but they had not received the package. Called Ken-san's guy (who's now my guy) Alex and let him know. Alex has already launched an investigation with UPS and stated that they did indeed ship out and usually when this happens they show up over the weekend or by Monday. I guess I just have sit here and stare at the two I did get. :(
