Good Afternoon everyone!!

Have a GREAT Monday

20c+ and Sunny

hey RiCharlie, you can try Turtle Wax Ice, pretty good liquid wax and very easy to wipe off.

Changed the oil, and gave her a nice bath.

Drove it around for a few errands, feeling much better about my alignment.
I think the wheels look a little more flush-like now that I'm running the correct camber.

Decided to make a for sale add. Want to pick up a 240Z and work on it, but can't really justify two cars. Figured now is as good a time as any since I don't really need a car at the moment.

Sorry to hear that dude. I think you'll definitely get some pleasure with a 240Z project car tho. In for pics and project status when it gets off the ground!

Are you going to part out your Z? If so, and your Z1 post mafs are red I'd be interested.

If I can find the stock tubes I'm considering it. Unfortunately the ones I have are black. Wanted to keep some semblance of an OEM look. And when it does get off the ground I'll just use my existing build thread.

Took the Z to the local Nissan dealer. They had a look at my sticky hatch, which decided not to stick... Always the case... Mechanic is ordering the new hatch springs anyways

.

Also asked for a crush washer for the drain plug, this is what Nissan gave me,

Looks different than the one guys are using in the DIY - oil change thread.

Went to 3 more automotive stores looking for a decent oil filter. Purolator is impossible to get here. Finally, the last local autoparts store can get me the K&N oil filter next day. I'll have it in the morning. I like small town living, but miss the convenience of the big city.

That doesn't look like a crush washer for the oil change. Looks more like a regular one.

It definitely isn't a crush washer, looks like a copper washer. Think it will be ok to use?

I would use the one specified for the plug:

Drain Plug Washer - Oil Pan - 2000-2004 Xterra V6/SC - 10 Pack :: Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com

Your local Nissan Dealer parts desk has them in packs of 10 for about $11.00

Thanks!

The scary thing is, that washer is what my local Nissan dealer gave me when I said I needed a crush washer for the oil drain bolt on my 370z
