Looks nice and subtle! I'm thinking about putting the red one on. :)

Talk to me a little bit about this Nissan Sport magazine. Does it feature the Z and the GTR only, or other screamers like the ever-sexy Versa?

I apologize for answering this question for Mr. Spohn. Nissan Pport covers Nissan, Infiniti and Datsun of all types, but tends to focus on "sporty" stuff. It does not come out often, but each issue is high quality.

happytheman 02-04-2012 01:54 PM

Hmm mayhaps I will look into this worthy periodical. :)

Hey Al, I wish heh... Just what came with the Z. I've been keeping it in a garage this winter, yet no snow??? Took it out on Friday, been so nice out. I'm debating doing some rims / tires, these stock rims have some appeal though, maybe get them powder coated???

Nasty, rainy day in Houston today. Had an early-morning teleconference so I missed Coffee and Cars.

After getting home, I installed my shifter boot and CF trim.

http://www.the370z.com/exterior-inte...ml#post1526129 Scroll a bit down the page.

The camera flash makes the pieces look like they have a glossy finish, but in natural light they look awesome.

I agree. I know mine is gonna fail in NC at ZDAYZ, thats my luck. But I refuse to pay $500 out of my pocket for something that aint broke yet/ should be replaced by dealer!

Mr.mjg, with all the goodies you put under the hood, might as well get the Z a set of nice shoes, upgrade the look and can better transfer the power on the road!! :tup: :tup:

One more info, I am not sure about the other brands, but on the setup menu of the Kenwood HU, you can select to switch on/off the remote sensor, I don't know why they have this option but I think it's totally pointless, anyway, if you turn OFF the sensor, the steering module WILL NOT WORK!!

It took us a looooooooong while to figure out since we program the module correctly and it just doesn't work, played with it for about an hour+ and eventually we saw the option was off, still didn't know but I said 'what the heck, no harm to switch it on and give it a shot.', and BOOM, it works.

So if you have a HU that have this pointless option in the setup, BEWARE!!!

:tiphat: :tiphat:

woo, thanks for the info. i'll keep this in my mental notes for future. :tup:
im really liking the recent pioneers. :p

I do not know that feeling yet. However, I have been conditioned by more than 2 1/2 decades of driving old Z's such that I don't worry about things too much when I drive. As far as having a brand new Z (well 2 years old now) that had an issue, no big deal. You want reliability stories with Z's? I got 'em. Plenty. You want mystery failures that occur, you cannot solve and then they seem to fix themsleves? Then daily drive (and I mean 25,000 miels per year and up) 30 to 40+ year old Z's. Stuff that people seem to get worked up about just rolls off your back.

Lol, totally agree. My 300zx had the power steering fail for a few days then fixed itself :roflpuke2: Unfortunatly every Z I have owned has been a reliability nightmare. My 300 was in the shop more than it was on the road.

$400-500 bucks is alot better than having my car sit at a dealer(outside)for a undetermined amount of time and some young inexperienced tech working & dirtying up my car,sh!t getting stolen off my car while it's at the dealer and the very careful tow truck driver Fvcking up my ground effects.

Money,SH!T!!! I can make more but the time and energy I have in my car,

PRICELESS

+1. im the same way. i can't afford to waste time. especially with little kids and VERY LIMITED time to motor my Z i want to make sure i get to use each and every opportunity to the fullest... not wait around for parts or worry about car not starting after a fill up. :)

Alchemy 02-04-2012 03:45 PM

My $500 is better spent on an oil cooler. Ill pray to the automotive gods and hope my steering lock doesnt fail.
