morning all! :tup: no car action today, but did manage to bucket wash my G late pm yesterday. :D super happy. more rain expected next week, so if it dries up by the weekend that means my Z's pulling out for the first time in 2012!! :excited:

Good morning Mr.kenchan, yes, the nights are always crazy, we drive Z, but doesn't mean we Zzzzzzzzz...... LOL :icon18:

What camera do you use, Mr.onzedge? 70-200/f2.8 is such a must have, even better if you choose the VR/USM lenses, a good lenses will last forever 10+years

Good morning Z fellows!!!

It snowed in Toronto overnight, just stopped and at least the sun is finally out, lol. Of cos there's no Z action these couple day.

The action I have regarding the Z is checking the UPS tracking website seeing where is my CAI, hahaaa, schedule delivery is this coming Tue, hopefully it's true then I can install it on Wed!! :happydance:


Gosh, I just notice I passed 400 posts, Yea!! LOL

onzedge 02-18-2012 10:56 AM

Mr. Alcheng -- I use a Canin 7D. I already have a 24-70, 10-22 and a 100-400. The 70-200 2.8 will fill the gap nicely.

Skeeterbop 02-18-2012 11:10 AM

Finally put my passenger seat and spare tire back in. Can anyone answer this one question: When I removed the seat, the airbag light came on obviously, But after reinstalling the seat it is still flashing. Is this something I need to remove the battery and reset the ECU to get rid of?

I see you have a 10-22, I got a 11-16 from Tokina couple years ago, it's constant f/2.8, very very nice lenses too.

That is a nice lens. I stick with Canon out of a long history of use. I still have my 35-85 and 200 (film lenses) I bought in 1977.

You have to reset the airbag light. The steps are here: http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/4...u-install.html

Good afternoon Mr. Onzedge, Mr. PedZ, Mr. Luna, Mr. KingZee, Mr. Alcheng, Mr. Luna, Mr. Kenchan, Mr. Fire and everyone elses! :tiphat:

No Z action yet, but plan on a bucket wash and vacuum session. :) maybe I'll take my wife to teh movies this weekend.

What kind of meat did you get, and how do you like your meat prepared?

Ummmm. I am trying to ascertain whether there is a double-entendre buried in your question. I'll play it straight.

I indulged in a Porterhouse, medium rare, served with this pork belly side and garlic mashed potatoes. I started with a genuine caesar slaad and finished with this thing they call the "chocolate mousse bombe" -- it was more like a hand grenade, though.

kenchan 02-18-2012 01:38 PM

hi there, mr.happy! :tup:

wheew, just got done with a lot of chores... it's really nice out today and feels like a waste not motoring my Z... but still salt on the ground. oh well.

was in the garage working on a small project for my music room and was really tempted to strip off my Z's car cover to take a look inside. :yum:

370ZilverZ 02-18-2012 01:47 PM

Installed a set of 8K HID's. I have no idea how some of you have done this and not take off the wheels! Added a few pics to my journal and a helpful youtube video for those that have trouble understanding how to release the spring clips to replace the bulb.

I also recieved my 370Z.com decals, but it is too cold to install them:mad:

SPOHN 02-18-2012 02:03 PM

What a busy day. I have washed, dried, clayed, and wax my car today. Claying a car sucks but well worth it in the end.

Also that's not it. Posted pics in my journal of newly painted roll cage. Awesome!

http://www.the370z.com/members-370z-...ournal-31.html

Also installed my new Nardi steering wheel with quick release. So very productive day.

No double-entendre intended, but you did kinda go there with the meat handling bit, didn't you? :tup: Mmmm, porterhouse! That's a big steak buddy! :yum:

Gave it a little wash. Found some brake dust particles that wouldn't come off. Need to get some clay bars and clay the rims cause that stuff isn't coming off.

hummm...

Here is what i ordered: 15208-65F0C
This is what i received: 15208-65F0A

i checked up my filter numbers on my G35C and it shows that it used 15208-65F0A... in this case, i suppose either one will work on my Z. but not sure why i got the old revision instead of the current.

but then after quick search online it appears revC is made in China and revA is made in Japan. my question is why the f- is it not 15208-65F0J then? :mad: :icon17:

Nice of them to make it cut and dried for you.

BTW: I succumbed and picked up the 70-200 2.8L IS II today.
