What did you do with your Z today II

brucelidat · 01-25-2012, 08:42 PM

dealer oil change? This isn't one of the free ones is it? Did you make sure they used the esther oil or a synthetic if you've already made the switch? I got offered a free oil change (not at Fontana), but they were going to put the reg oil in and esther would have been like $75 extra or something.

Glad to hear you're going to driving school!

Now maybe you can turn off VDC and not put you're ride into a fence!

Well, I would say they are a typical dealer; however, they are super mod-friendly and have some really knowledgeable techs (Chris Heimburg is one). I drive over an hour just to have my car serviced there...but well worth it. For example, as we all know, the Amuse front bumper doesn't make it easy to replace the oil filter...so their tech made a special cut out "door" for me so that future oil changes won't require removing the bumper. No charge...how cool is that?!

I did...but it's not at all noticeable in daylight. This picture makes it look super dark, which isn't even close to what it's like in real life.

Haha...I do get the feeling that they hate it; but hey, it's better that they know us enthusiasts care about our cars. After a few visits though, you get to know the techs...so it's not as big a deal. BTW, free popcorn and coffee in the waiting room

I'm still on esther oil. I actually purchased a maintenance plan along w/ my Z...so I pretty much follow their schedule/req's...and pay nothing each visit. The cool thing w/ Fontana Nissan is that they do the extras for a modded car, but don't charge extra (i.e., put in more oil cuz I have an oil cooler, etc.).

i needs dealers like fontana in my area...

we all know wat happens when you take a modded cars to a regular dealer.... first they can't get it up on a lift. then they crack/scratch your aero bits. then do their potentially lousy work. dirty up your car. then pretend nothing happened...and ask for payment.

Bought supplies for a new project. 6MT rear diff and Quaiffe LSD.

Would like to go with 3.9 gears, but may have to settle with 3.6 in the MT diff to keep the cruise control working. Still researching that one. Any help from the gallery would be much appreciated.
