Interesting, thanks. I can never decide which knob to get... At this rate I'll just keep it stock.. lol

I'm really thinking the Big Type R would rock....but I'm kinda loathe to change the knob out a third time. :ugh2:

Curious to know what you do with all your old shift knobs :p

Just washed and polished the Z this evening. The temperature was about 40 degrees, but I was determined to return my baby to form. Couldn't wait for the Porter Cable kit. Won't arrive until Thursday or Friday.

Goooooone! :tup:

Sold to the highest bidders! :)

Oooh, Porter Cable! Nice choice. :icon17:

Curious though, what made you choose the PC over the Griots or others?

Damn let me know if youre gonna sell anything lol

:iagree: My Porter Cable is very useful. On the topic of the PWJDM shift knob, it is samller than stock. But, the weight of the stainless makes for very smooth shifts and I have become used to the size.

The PWJDM has a very nice collection, and I am looking at MOMO too. Leather or CF.

Don't wanna get my palm burnt in the summer so no Titan for me. LOL

You guys are making me want to buy that knob... like now

Members of this forum mentioned it several times so I researched it a bit, and it seemed like a good first kit. I'm a newbie. :D

Longest Daytona 500 in history... But i stopped by to see what's up...10x the excitement with more growl ? That will be on the list... I will sneak the K and N in, and see if she notice the power increase.

Well back to the last laps, hopefully...

:yum: Looks so yummy (just like mine)!!!:yum: it definitely has a nice finish with the ring. I got the stainless knob as well, but with the titanium ring. :icon17: I too have become used to the size, and have taken my right-hand ring off to keep from scratching it.

Tore up the old knob trying to get it off. Why would you put threadlock on a knob Nissan? Why? :mad:

What I did today, er yesterday. Put my new plate on. Picked up my new tires. Waiting on my rims. Wash my baby. Picked up new GF. Took her on a date. And just got back home. :happydance: This 56 yr old widower, empty nester still has his mojo! :happydance:

Very nice, man! My plates won't arrive for another 5 weeks. :(

Goin to Z1 today to get my Oil, Power Steering, and Rear Diff fluids swapped out for Redline fluids. :tup:

Might raid the cabinet for any trinkets they might have as well.

Gonna be there between 10-noon today if anyone wants to stop by. :tiphat:

:tup:

Mr.rusty- your plates and tires look :tup:

Morning everyone! :D

Morning. :hello:

FYI i managed to scrape the curb four times in the past year so I took it to th dealer and for $350 they got rid of them ...looked like new..then three days later i pulled in a bit to close to the step in my own yard and hit it again!:ugh2:
Ok Ok ..before anyone says it...I need driving lessons..

GOD, man! :facepalm:

You should put a reflective sign in front of your steps so you know when to stop lol

They sell those feelers from the 1950's, if you need them.

Hemmings motor news.

They may look...well....kinda.....well anyways, the better choice is stay away from the curb.

So easy for me to say...My wife won't let me drive "her" car yet....

But I am a patient man...Plenty of time for me to scrape rims too..

Best excuse for an aftermarket set!

If I touch those wheels, I am toast..

She always wanted Rims on her 350Z. I said wait..

As I was pro touring my 1971 Z/28, i bought some Rushforth Rims..Very Custom.

Well that started her on the Rims again.

She did not like the 370Z and wanted a newer 350Z with Rims...WTF..

SO, as the patient Man I tell you I am....I waited...

She saw the Black 2009 Touring/Sport and FREAKED out.

I new the time was right...I am a Timing sorta Guy..

So now she has the 19" Rays, and i think we are good for now. If anyone scrapes it, it better be her.

She is a front spoiler abuser too.. But I told her that the new spoiler comes out of her hide, if she wrecks it.

So, I got the Pro Touring Car of my Life that I can Track Beat, and a KILLER 370Z that so far, I can look at...:rofl2:

Oh ya...Good morning

.I haven't had coffee yet..

Mike, or "Mini Vinnie D "

Haha, I don't blame you. Getting on the forum early on the west coast, now that's dedication.

I wouldn't worry too much about that front chin spoiler. It's cheap to replace and does a pretty good job protecting the front fascia from getting scratched up.

Ah yes...The new 370Z sport has that extra spoiler and that is good..

The 350Z you crushed part of the car...

Still getting coffee. You will notice the difference in my posts soon...

Blah,blah, blah:icon18:

i have a dealer keychain hanging on the wall to use as aim when parking inside the garage. i line up with the decorative line on the hood or side of wiper blade, etc. works great each time. i park in the exact same spot within mm each time. :)

Oh ya...The Pro Touring of my Z/28 cost me parts and labor, and a Kitchen upgrade, and a 370Z...

And I am in Money management and investing...

I think the wife burned me good, haha.

To stay with the thread, Today I realized that I won't be driving the 370Z yet..

The Wife says it feels heavier and more rock solid. Not as neck snapping and brutal as the 350Z. She say maybe feels slower.

She in in love with it, and i told her it is actually lighter and more rigid now, and 50 HP more.

Maybe the new smoother tranny and engine is fooling Her ???

I don't know. I HAVEN"T DRIVEN IT YET... But I did Buy it...

Many feel that the 370z is slower than the 350z, but this is due to the torque delivery. If you take a look at the torque curve it's very smooth, it doesn't peak. So many feel this as being slower since they don't feel the jolt. But in reality you're getting a much more efficient delivery of torque. Don't be fooled, the 370z is faster :)

lol... do you have kids? in my household we save up for kids college funds so that's a couple of GT-R's right there cash. :icon17:

Is there a Kenchan Jr?!

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AIX5WkSnsk.../shin_chan.gif

:icon18: lol i luv crayon shin-chan. :tup:

we have 2 kids. :D

Haha.. You got me there.... Three cats and a hummingbird nest outside..

Otherwise the nest is empty...

Also my near death 2 years ago turned up the bucket list to 10...

Kinda on borrowed time as we all are...

Bingo, we have a winner...

I am experiencing something similar with my Crazy Z/28. With the new electronic Ignition, the power band is smoother and not as if someone snapped a rubber band... The Head Mechanic was explaining the same thing. I did all mods for steering, suspension, braking and general restoration, and added maybe 40 HP to 450Hp or so, but it felt slower...It is not..I also dropped over a hundred pounds on tubular aarms, aluminum parts, ectt...

Similar the 370Z has that new tranny and will not feel as "peaky", or the snap of the rubber band..

It will take getting used to . I kinda like that pin your eyeballs to the back of your head and see if your man enough to keep your foot to the floor feeling...

But smooth is good.. If I ever drive it...

Today I just stared at my Z sitting in the garage and :crying:

haven't driven her in almost 4 months! spring is almost here though!:excited:

Nice Plate Mr.Rusty :tup:

hey RiCharlie, check the picture below, I found your next Z.. LOL :icon18:

Now we know the real Big Guy behind the GT-R, Mr.kenchan is the one raise the GT-R. :bowrofl:

Hey Solarguy09, your wife does burn you, gently, at least you still got hair, and a Z/28. :bowrofl:

Mmmm.... wonder what VinDiesel's gf has done to him now......... :ugh2:


Regarding the torque, I feel the same thing too, especially below 3500rpm, but getting used to it, it feel smoother in higher rpm, at least less vibration.


Good Morning Z fellows!!!! :tiphat: :tiphat:

This is the new Z for RiCharlie, hope you don't mind it's a vert... cheers!!! LOL
