What did you do with your Z today II

370ZilverZ · 01-09-2012, 06:49 PM

It was raining, so I bought her a set of Berk HFC's and ARK Performance Grip CBE. I hope she likes them.

Good to see some new people posting. Thechidz what part of NY are you from? I'm WNY. Supposed to be warm this week I think and may be able to get the car out if the salt gets washed off the roads.

Yup you guys got hit bad, we didn't get much. Just put the plow on the garden tractor and haven't needed it yet this year. Unfortunatelly the state has been using salt on the roads so no Z action unless it rains and the salt gets washed off.

mantella87 · 01-10-2012, 12:15 AM

Drove to work and back. I always make sure to open it up a couple times each way.

Rusty · 01-10-2012, 12:50 AM

Since I was off today. I did my base line dyno run. The Nismo got 282HP and 230 ftlbs corrected on a Mustang dyno. After that. I took a ride to Ohio Pyle State Park in SW Pa.

I fantasized that it existed some place closer than California so I could buy it *frustration*

So I just finished off a weekend of audio installs and all done

Thanks for all the great info on this site, i couldnt have done it without you all! (along with the websearch on "how to solder wires together...lol) I put in a kenwood DNX6160, Polk MM6501 speakers, Polk PA330 amp, new speaker wires, Axxess ASWC steering interface, CMOS-200 rearview camera, dynamat xtreme the trunk area (doors to be done later) and brought ipod connection into the center console. Took a lot longer than planned but thats because i made the mistake of not cleaning up as i went and I spent more time walking around looking for tools and parts than actually doing work, lol. But i am thrilled with how it turned out. The speakers sound great, I love that you can modify the headunit color theme, i was suprised at how well the cam worked at night and for those wondering, the dynamat xtreme really does make a difference. I was able to reach in and slide a good sized piece over the left wheel well (cant on the right due to the some wiring to the gas tank) and i think that helped a lot. A little homework and forethought paid off....all for a little under $1000. glad i saved on the install fee....

time to enjoy

Nice job! That Dynamat is good stuff to work with. A bit expensive, but whatev.

Now it's time to replace that stock knob and take those Blockbuster movies back before you get hit with a late charge!
