I'm not trying to be a smart arse, because I'm in the same boat since lowering my car and putting on a Nismo nose. I scrape the nose every day pulling out the driveway. The City is going through the neighborhood now resurfacing streets. If they raise mine anymore, I won't be able to get out.

I've already broken two retaining screws in the fender well. We installed a ramp/grate becuase everyone was scraping leaving the driveway. I'm still scraping. it's a function of the pitch of the driveway in relation to the street.

Love the look, so I'll live with the consequences. I hope all works out for you, so keep us posted.

If you see the photos of the intersection I took you can see how poorly they left the pavement, literally everyone even stock height normal sedans are scraping through there. I had no chance :shakes head:

I'm hoping I can get them to pay for it but if not no worries, I will just eat the cost.

I normally have the OEM bumper on the car and put on my V2 for meets/events if time permits.

I see. That's a nice arrangement to have swappability (sp?). :)

:mad:I'm kinda mad....but only so mad as $13 worth of useless product can make you! :mad:

When I bought my Vacmaster VWM510 vacuum on Amazon they listed on the same page a micro-cleaning kit V1MK as being a frequently purchased item with the vacuum. Little did I know that the Vacmaster (which I love by the way) uses a non-traditional 1 7/8" hose, whilst the micro-cleaning kit fits a 1 1/2" hose! :mad:

Now why in the hell would Amazon list it like that, if they were incompatible?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. :tup:

Logged in here to remind myself that I have a 370Z.
Between winter storage and my time up in the air, I have almost forgotten how to drive!

Closeup of the damage with a sticker temporarily holding things up:

I will be calling the city he lives in tomorrow and insisting that they pay for the damages since it was their fault for not smoothing out the street after recent repaving.

Dang Wais, I'm really sorry to hear that :( . I made the HUGE mistake of picking up my girlfriend with the Z in downtown LA, I have never seen roads that bad even in NYC and in the North east after winter.

That happened to me too but with Shop Vac accessories, you can sooner go to Home Depot or Lowes and pick up a stepped adapter for every hose diameter.

Ooh! Thanks for the recommendation Christian! Ima check that out tomorrow! :tiphat:

Well, after giving my Z some Vacuum love, I gave it some the370z.com love! :tup:

Can't wait to get my 370Z.COM decal. Looking good Happy!:tup:

Today I started my Dynamat installation.

I am awaiting taking the 370 to the shop in the morning for the steering lock replacement. Meanwhile, here is a shot from last weekend's photoshoot at Tower Bridge. This is me and Eric (not a Z guy, but a major photographer and geneticist). My son Colin shot this.

Let us know how it turns out ,b/c I'm curious when I installed my "D" lock I noticed that when it disengages it is a little louder and it does it with more authority see if your does the same.(you will have to be in a quiet place when you check it ,it is not that loud)

happytheman 02-05-2012 10:56 PM

Wow Mr. Onzedge, your friend Eric is really into Roots-based equipment, eh? :tup:

Damn this steering lock thing came out of nowhere and spreading like a cold virus what's going on? I don't have it but everytime I check the forum I just see more people affected.

I've noticed this spread like crazy lately as well. I'm wondering if the only reason I haven't had this yet is because my steering wheel rarely locks :confused:
