What did you do with your Z today II

Bucketlist2012

I put it up to motivate me...i told my wife that the "new Guys" on the Z forum are brutal, haha.

I will show progress soon.. you are seeing it AFTER a major sale, I gave rims away, and my sisters crap got surprise dumped on her at christmas....Merry christmas, here is your crap you left for two years plus, haha..

On the power test today in the 370Z...I get that we did not buy a Corvette and i also know it is the balanced package that is killer..

I won't have the most power on the track with my Z/28, but i am betting on outbraking long term and out handling people...Not just raw power..

Raw power by itself is useless.. but the 370Z is still new to me..The 350Z i would drive traction on or off and just laugh...What a rush that car was..And you can see, my other car is no smart car..well it is smart that i own it,haha

So, the 370Z is a dream car, i just need more time in it...

Yup, it needs a cleaning. That's ok tho, you'll get it done in good time. Gotta ask tho: What's with the sideways pictures? I get a crick in my neck staring at 'em!

Ok guys... a few more questions about the knob.. LOL

After I remove the stock knob, does that aluminum spacer just unscrew easily?

Will the o-rings that come with the knob be enough to stop the boot from drooping?

And do you suggest I re-apply loctite? I'd rather not.. but would it loosen?

ZMan8

i think people reapply it just not as much as nissan

1) I didn't remove the spacer. It was not necessary.
2) Yup, that boot ain't going' NOWHERE!
3) I didn't bother with the Loc Tite. I just cranked the knob down as far as it would go and it was perfect! I know a couple of others didn't bother with the Loc Tite either. if you do choose to use it, just put a strip of it down one side of the threads. It's not necessary to coat all the threads.

I know nothing about 370z knobs, but i did have a ford one time during racing the knob came off mid shift coming up to a corner...i straight line braked and did not crash...

So make sure you do whatever you have to , to feel like it it not coming off..

I couldn't take it any longer... I ordered the knob with a black ring and 6spd pattern. group buy code still worked

I plan on filling my tank today since it is the last day that I will be getting 5% cash back from Chase for gas purchases.

I just hope I don't get raped lol

Waiz

Holy Shat! $76 to fill my tank

alcheng

To comfort you, normally we pay $90ish for a full tank of 91 in here.

Waiz

Ouch!

Lucky for me that I only go through a tank every two weeks, it was much more brutal when I was going through a tank every 4 days

alcheng

I go through a tank 4-5 days in the summer when the Z is my DD....
