i hate that! :ugh2:

have you watched your Z get hailed on?

i took my girl for some ice cream last summer and as we are standing in line a freak hail storm hits with decent sized hail raining down bouncing off my beautiful car and im forced to watch in torture :mad:. Clearcoat marks were left, but I polished out most of them

I've seen the effects of a hailstorm, it's absolutely terrible and even seen dents caused from it, fortunately not my Z. I was just saying better as in worse lol ;)

Saw this nice big paint chip on my hood today... It's right down to the metal. :shakes head: :mad:

I think I'm gonna have to invest in some Dr. Colorchip, or similar. Thoughts, recommendations perhaps based on experience?

mr.happy- ouch. :crying: hurts to see.

My Jay Leno Mini Vinnie Jaw is dropped to the floor....Man, what can I say..

Ouch and sorry don't cut it...

:eek::eek::eek:

:( :crying: Yes, I have died inside a little bit. Well....a lotta bit actually. :crying: :(

Today I finally got the Ok to go get gas...

Manana is testing time...Still working today , making the money to pay for all of this...

But testing results tomorrow...Just gonna go get Gas.....

Again, sorry...That will hurt... We die a little with you...

yah, when i saw my first ding (one and only) on my front bumper after a butt-face truck dumped a whole bunch of rocks in front of me that i avoided most but not all, i was :( then :crying: then :mad: then :yum: charburgers and cheeze fries. :icon17:

goodluck with the tests tomorrow! :tup:

You guys will know when the testing is done...

The cool thing about my Z/28 is that although the paint looks killer from 4 feet away, it is 28 years old, and all my money got spent on handling horsepower and engine horsepower, in the last three months..I dropped it off in Zdecember for the Vinnie Diesel treatments..

Sure i will never park in a parking stall , and i park WAY out in the parking lots, but first chips happened in 1985, hahaha..

:bowrofl:

Yeah the chips hurt. I have small ones that nobody but me would notice on the bumper = don't care its plastic, but I also have 2 on the hood = :mad: because I drive way behind others. every chip i Have received came from a pebble that get shot out from cars driving parallel to me :shakes head:

yah, especially in traffic there's really not much you can do. even if one is 3-4 car lengths behind, a rock can kickup from the OPPOSING lane... (this is wat happened to my G 8yrs ago only one week after taking ownership... it's on my front bumper as well. :ugh2: )

happytheman, time for VentureShield, lol

Ho hum. My Z's are sitting at home all bundled up. I saw a yellow 370 driving around in Draper, Utah yesterday. I waved, but got a weird look. Maybe it was due to me driving around in my sweet rental Sentra.

I have 1 or 2 small ones like that on my hood.. I cringe whenever I see them, but I tend to ignore them. I haven't touched them up with anything..

As newbie...a.k.a. Mini Vinnie, I see the "core " group here... Glad to be here..

I will try to amuse, and not anger, and offer what laughter i can, as well as stories from the Track..

I will be Autocrossing the Z/28 soon. Still need the helmet and the GoPro.

The Big track events are scheduled for 2013...I need the Seats and the roll bar for triple digit road course runs..

Thunderhill, Infineon...

But if I could track the 370Z.......I would, but I must keep peace at home...So don't plan on anything but some tests and overall feeling I get from the 370Z...

Cool that i have a rocketship to compare the 370Z to...A Really, really LOUD rocketship...

I will bet they are the same on speed, but in a completely different way...which is insane but very cool...He says in a gravelly voice...

I'd love to see the autocross videos of the Z/28!

And if you plan on tracking the Z at all you might want to think about an oil cooler on extended runs.

Brakes, make sure upgrade the brakes too!!! It's a must unless you want to slam the Z into the wall at full speed!!

Yes, even you have Sport-Package, have to change the brake system for track use.

You know , we thought about a Dry sump and cooler, but i will keep an eye on it...

I did not 4 Link the car, or Fuel cell it either.. But Oh man, it is Artwork underneath. Everything is new and prepared by the Best.....haha , Not ME..


There will be heads all under this car at events...Forget the Rims... they will be staring at the parts underneath...Well some of them...To some the rims are everything..Nope. They cover the willwoods..

DUH, what a dork, you are talking about the OIL cooler for the 370Z...DUH ..I am stupid..yes, i have heard about it.Also in hot traffic...We live in hottraffic area....Service manager said hot traffic is ok..not track racing..

So no 370Z autocross, but man to bring both cars ??? OK , now i AM dreaming..reality is cool enough without me wishing the impossible..

370Z will be street use only...Not really my car..i just pay for it, haha..:ugh2:

It won't be seeing the autocross..i wish, but not likely...

Wats a good value to put on this M3 UT 1/18 diecast? :confused:

http://www.the370z.com/members/kench...-39-34-120.jpg

is it rare and collectible?

back in 2007 it was...

1/18 Ut Bmw E36 M3 Coupe - *rare* - Bimmerforums - The Ultimate BMW Forum

1/18 UT BMW M3 GTR E36 Street Car Black Brand New RARE | eBay

So $260 or more... :p but mine is used and no box so $200-ish.

One million dollars! Muahahahahahahaha!!

:icon18:

I say 200 is a good number

thanks. will check with my bimmer buddies if they want to buy. :tup:

LifeTime supply of Charboilcheeseburgers & Cheese Frites PLUS Drinks of your choice. :yum:

how is visibilty at night?

I have 30% ceramic on my fronts as well. No problems seeing at night. Pulled over once for it cop let me go.. :icon18:

Too much pizza but add more ice cream, LOL. You need to drink some decaf Acid to diegest them afterward??? :icon18:

I run 20% on my daily because crime is so bad here, it makes it harder for people to see into my car. I do fine with that.

30% was on my Z06, and it was G2G, too. I doubt the 370Z is any different. 20% is a compromise, but you get used to it and it never gave me any issues.

I'm getting ready to Kenchan my Z to work in the fog! It performed admirably well last night in the fog coming home after a scheduled downtime sometime around midnight. I think the headlights are perfectly suited for it! :tup:

Good morning my online peeps! :hello:

If you have the rear fog light installed you could drive to work backwards
