so im wondering how mr.onzedge is doing with his Z getting all fixed up. :D

Bought two replacement 305/30 RE11's from Costco for less than $800.
I love these tires but gotdamn they're expensive!

Completed installing Dynamat in the hatch area. It made a world of difference. The road debris is hardly noticeable, yet the exhaust can be heard just like no change at all.
Pics in my journal.

:tup: :tup:

Thanks :tup: yep my buddy works at a well known garage just down the road from me, he's actually fairly high up the chain and got me $20 off the alignment and $10 off the oil change (I'm a regular customer with both my cars which helps). Not only that but my other buddy who was doing the actual work on the car adjusted my rear wheal angle for free which is normally a $50 charge.

The negative was that he noticed some of the Nissan cheap paint orange-peel problem on my front quarter panels, and he also noticed a bubble in one of my front tires. It's not too bad yet but I'm keeping an eye on it.

:iagree:

Me too. Wait, that's me.

Anyway, the lock is good and functional. So far, so good.

The dent, though. Hmm... I may just live with it. The headliner needs to come out just for the paintless dent fixer guy to be able to tell if it is fixable or not. $220 for a headliner R&R. I ahve a guy ZForce has used and I think I may have him look at it.

The thing is very small but it bugs me.

I thought Mr.onzedge might disappear for 3 days driving the Z to fulfill his 3 weeks hunger.

:icon18:

Let us know when you can.:tup:

Watched a show on the most dangerous roads and they had the Tail of the Dragon. One guy has a GTR that he films people from. Looking forward to the ZDayZ this year. :driving:

that's a good deal, i thinks :tup: :D yah, those are top of the line in the US from them.

nice. yah, when i did mine i could immediately tell a difference too. :D

sounds good on the hook ups. :tup: the orange peel is actually good to have if your car is a dd as it makes it easier to hide dings when PDR guy does the repair. :) i would leave it. the bubble..yah, you'd better replace that tire soon.


:tup: on the steering-lock. :D congrats. hummmm on the headliner. i would open the door, pull out the weather strip and see if you can shine a light all the way below your ding. if so, should be no issue to push out. there might be some glue used but that too, there are tools PDR guys have to remove the glue. afterwards they will use some 3M mounting adhesive or silicon glue.

i would definitely NOT remove the entire headliner just to do the ding. :)

worst case the guy can use the glue puller if there is no access from the back.

hahahaha! :icon17:

I had the road to myself, VDC off, came around a hairpin expecting to punch it when I saw a poorly marked police car. I crept past and saw a motorcycle signaling cop ahead and I too did the same. Sure enough just ahead was another one of those poorly marked cop cars.


When will these cops figure out, I don't want one of their tickets.

LOL Mt Tam you should have a bumper sticker made "Thanks but no thanks to tickets" I'm sure a radar detector would help ya too. I'm always worried about tickets cause my DD has a roof mounted red light but I have nothing on my car to identify me as a fire chief. As a professional courtesy police generally won't pull over a fire chief for minor speed infractions. :eekdance:

Daemon where those stripes custom made? Are they dark grey or black? They look a bit grey in the pics. I like them and think they look nice on your car.

Thanks. They are matte black. They are custom made found on eBay.
