What did you do with your Z today II

Nick911sc

Yea, I mean.. What are the odds of blowing out the oem endlinks while just street driving the car, not on the track.

kenchan

on my G's stillens, the stock endlinks broke (rattles) after about 3k miles. i got meaty aftermarket ones

unless you have bent bar syndrome (pre-load) or running coilovers, there's really no need to have endlink adjustability..but most aftermarket endlinks are adjustable.

Nick911sc

Are you running aftermarket sways on the Z? If so.. Which ones? And with OEM endlinks?

kenchan

hi nick! im running stock suspension on the Z. it's good enough for me for street use around here.

not swaybar related, but there's this just one dip i dont like how my car handles in my area...makes my car feel like a sedan. but dont feel like doing the work just to make that one dip happy. lol i rather just take another route. much easier.

the only reason it was dirty is we had a 4 second tornado type rain it lasted all of 2 min just enough to leaver dirt XD it sucked

I got my Massachusetts Excise Tax in the mail today. It's a yearly motor vehicle tax. The amount depends on the value of your vehicle.

not cool. It better than emissions taxes they have in Britain though. You pay taxes based on the amount of emissions your car produces..people with r34 GTR i think were paying thousands of dollars in taxes...

sounds like a california thing.... i remember paying $550+ for a year's worth of f-king registration for my civic back 12-13yrs ago. then people sued the state or something and it was dramatically lowered to like $200. lol still high in my books just for a frikken sticker.

Kenchan, you make me laugh. Whenever I ask you a question about mods I haven't done yet, but you also haven't done, you rationally give me answer that make me go... If Kenchan didn't do it I shouldn't bother either!

kenchan

well, ive done pretty extensive mods on previous cars and honestly speaking, im kinda tired doing it because i change one thing, 99% of the time i have to compensate another while gaining some. after a while i began looking for a car that runs pretty good in stock form and only do minor adjustments.

i like the Z's overall dynamics. feels pretty good, but the initial bump over rougher roads was on the harsher side. so i got softer sidewall tires. i also noticed that the car felt nervous (vs my G) on straight line going expressway speeds... so i got lower offset rear wheels and played with the front offset. lowered wheel rate as well. car runs pretty perfect now for my motoring fun and roads in my area.

I hadn't done much with my Z I'm the last few months but now that there is a glimmer of hope for spring I have begun to get her ready.

Today I installed my Swift springs. Looks good but I can't drive her for a few more weeks as I am still waiting for my exhaust to arrive and I need rear tires badly. Doesn't matter much anyway because I only have two days off in the next two weeks so most of my time off will be with the family.

But come the end of the month, there will be some gas burned.

Its supposed to be 65 Wed and 67 Thurs here in Jersey Im seriously contemplating putting my Z back on the road to enjoy those days. I gotta do it soon anyway cause I wanna get it into the dealer to ATTEMPT to get a new trans outta them. 5th gear grinds. I know Im gonna get one of two responses from Nissan. Either its gonna be "sorry sir we cant seem to replicate the problem you are having/ there isnt a problem" OR its gonna be "sorry sir your warranty is null and void due to all of your aftermarket parts". At which point the arguing will insue. Im also anxious to get all the parts I have sitting here on the car so the sooner its on the road the sooner I can get it over to my buddies place to do some wrenching


Hey onzedge did you get your KONI'S in yet??????????????????????????
