What did you do with your Z today II

axio

Alchemy, try loosening the 3 or 4 bolts that hold the block off plate. Move the shifter into 5th gear, and then slide the block off plate up against the knob on the shifter itself. Then go ahead and tighten down the block off the plate. Shift it around and see if this helps or fixes your problem. If it does, I ended up putting on some extra grease where the knob on the shifter hits the block off plate so just it doesn't squeek or anything (it did on my TMW short shifter kit so I had to rip it apart again just to add grease to it). I hope that is what's wrong...

Yep, exactly this ^^

Your shifter should just barely touch the lock-out plate. There should be some play in it for adjustment.

Like Axio said, my Short Shifter DIY has some photos of this.

Thanks Axio

Thanks for all the love guys, I'll find some time this week to go get an estimate for the paint job...I think I'm just more irritated at the fact that people just don't give a crap in my neighborhood. I stood there scratching my head this morning as to how in the hell someone could have managed to do that based on where my car was parked...I'm still scratching my head. I actually MOVED my car yesterday to supposedly park it in a "safer" spot lol. Ahh, gotta love the ironical crap in life.

Rest of my day was better though except that I slammed my thumb in a filing cabinet and started bleeding everywhere

Mr.GaleForce, this pic brings back memory of my high school years……

I always 'stole' the bike from my friend and ride along the lake…

You making me thinking about visiting Port Hope this summer!!

GaleForce

Let me know when you're planning to travel this way. We can do a cruise, and I'll fire up the BBQ for us after.

Good Morning All!

I'm feeling a little foggy too, but it's because I was on a teleconference until 10:00 pm last night. 6:00 am to 10:00 pm work days suck.

Had a great time this weekend with the Z. I had to miss the Z Club cruise to Texas World Speedway - sorry Fire no pace car action this time - but i did get to attend another Cars and Coffee event in the Woodlands north of Houston. The setting was beautiful and it was more more low-key than the Houston Coffee and Cars events. There was also a special car there - see photos below.

Afterwards, took a short cruise in the country on the way home. Turned out to be a great weekend. We have the Nismo Fiesta in San Antonio in two weeks, and that looks to be a great event.

Happy - the car is confirmed for the shop work the week of April 16, so expect something in the mail sometime the following week.

Have a great day all.

Is that an AMC Gremlin?! HAHA, I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid! My aunt had one! It's floorboards we're so rusted out that I could see the passing road beneath!

Glad to see you had a great time this weekend Mr. Gurney, and thanks again for being the cool guy that you are!

Hope everyone has a great day!

It looks like sun, sun, and more sun for a while in Kali. I can dig it. Maybe I'll take a drive to the beach this week. I hope it gets into the 70's.
That would make it very nice at the beach.

Wow, last week storms .... and now this beautiful weather. Mother Nature sure is fickle this year.
