Indeed. We're still talking about tires, right?

yes, i hope so... :icon17:

G5 and lots of money, playa playa...

BTW - the rear DWS were bald after 9K miles. :ugh2:

haha.

that's good news for me cause im running the DW's which has worse treadwear than DWS and im trying to burn through these this season. :D

Just start burning rubber and get them replaced with a quickness. The PSS are as sexy as Sofia Vergara.

:excited:

The wife will never know. Maniacal laugh! Muwahahaha!

Well I already did the in cabin air filter for this year but those are good deals. i heard their oil filters are so-so, is that true?

im not sure about their oil filters. i only use OEM oil filters cause they usually come with free crush washers. :D

I had OEM oil filters past 4 oil changes, switched to PureOne long one for this one to see how it goes.

sounds good! i suppose if we drove our Z's more we'd get the fumoto-valve and just use off-the-shelf filters, huh? :D

i only do one oil change per year so it's hardly worth the fumoto valve.

At first I was clueless and did 5 after 2 years.

I am now going to only do 2, one when i pull the car out of storage and one when I put it away. I know doing the one when I pull it out is not necessary but it's safer i think.

yah, cars these days dont really need so many fluid changes unless it's tracked imho. so yah, twice would be more than enough. i do my change every spring/early summer once a year since i only put 5k miles max every year. :) my Z's at 8400miles since Aug2009. :p

i only follow nissan's maintenance Schedule2. i looked over my 8yr old G's schedule plan last night and it doesn't even recommend brake/diff/MT oil changes at all.

i do the brake fluid and coolant change every 2yrs since i think it's better for the car after the 4th yr. diff and MT fluid... (especially MT fluid) questionable unless it's super stiff or something going into the gates. G did fine even at 2F so i dont care to change it.

btw my G's still shy of 30K miles...

For the coolant changes you do a flush or just drain on refill with new fluid?

i do the drain and fill. nissan recommended on my G (green coolant) that after the 4th year i drain and fill every 2yrs. so ive been doing that. in fact, it's due for a drain and fill this spring. :)

for the Z's coolant it has that blue extended coolant so i dont expect to drain and fill for 6-7yrs.

I didn't realize we had different coolant...learn something new everyday on this forum :tup:

EDIT: so when are we suppose to actually flush the system to remove the "scales"

if you use distilled water with the coolant 50/50 mix, you shouldn't have any scales.

I have w/e nissan put in there.

Uh oh. I used water from my still. Is that the same? :icon17:

should be fine. a quick unscientific way to check for contamination is to remove your radiator cap when cold and check the gasket. if you see white crap on there along with mildew and scum, you probably want to flush it. :icon17:

i think it might taste better but not sure if your car likes it? :icon17:

I'm back. Green or blue which is better :stirthepot: Hey onze you get your fuel from the still?? Might have to change your injectors and pump. :ugh2:

Speaking of distilled products, Applebee's has a new drink it is a Margarita with Corona. :ughdance:

That sounds good in a mind-numbing kind of way! :tup:

:iagree: :barf:

mmm.. im sipping on diet pepsi. :yum: :icon17: keeps me in control.

^haha water all day for me. trying to stay healthy.

I only had one then strawberry lemonaid. :tiphat: Kenman are you retiring at 55. I saw your post you where retiring in 2 years.

that's the best way. :tup:

i need to cut down on my diet pepsi intake... :ugh2:

is that sugar or neutra-sweet (sp?)? i use to drink a lot of coca-cola classic until i found how much sugar i was taking in. :eek: so jumped ship to diet pepsi. :tup:

i still have a long wayz to go before retirement... :ugh2:

Honestly, it is coffee and water for me (with the very occasional soda). Alcohol is the glove that Satan puts his hand into. I heard that somewhere.

mr.onzedge- i must learn from you. i can't seem to not have soda... like my wife sees a deal going for 12cans x4 going $9.... then im like please get that deal! :tup: and im sitting there with cases of 12can boxes. :icon17: :crying:

i did however surrender HagDaz for 6months... i eat only yogurt now Lite 80calories after dinner as desert.

LOL I love satans glove. :bowrofl:

:wtf2:

:icon17:

However I always tell people that I don't meet the requirements for the American Legion Lodge cause I'm not an alcoholic. :stirthepot:

There is soo much wrong with you Kenman but I still love ya in a Z way .:icon18:
