What did you do with your Z today II

Fire

Hey guys. Hows it going? Kenman know all about getting upset with others. I was pi$$ed this morning. Mine is at bosses that don't support their employees. After putting in back to back 14 hour nights all I hear is how we can do more faster. $crew them eh? Sorry like I said I was upset. Decided this morning to step back and just be a worker drone and let somebody else take my spot as charge.

Yes, the angry boss routine doesn't always get the desired results, hence rapid turnover where I was working. All the talented people say "screw this" and move on to better jobs. Hope things calm down for you Mr.Fire.

Mr.kenchan, I will try to do a brief photo shoot on Fri morning… looks like the weather is going to be nice for the weekend.

Mr.Fire, sounds like you had a rough shift at work. Sometimes we gotta stand back a bit otherwise we all become knob&nuts!! LOL

Fire- sorry to hear. i hate managers like that... they need to show appreciation and compassion...that is motivation. money will make people happier, but then people get use to having money so without appreciation they still quit.

think of all the people and property you saved, fire!

niceee~! wat did you order this time?

does your hardware store loan out sprayers? might want to look into that. i suppose it might be better to use rollers from ventilation perspective.. not sure how many windows you have. my house has an english basement so it's like half-arsed (windows above ground).


looking forward to your picts, mr.alcheng! your car's looking great.

Red z1 silicon hoses (PCV and Brake Booster) to add a personal touch to the engine bay. Also got some Redline Differential oil.

Exhaust update got a few more bolts/knuts off, just one left! I think this knut is stripped though. I'll try a 12 point socket tomorrow. hosed it down with pb blaster and will see what happens.

Once you get that thing off, you should crank it and go for a spin without the CBE and see what you think!

So, I have to own up to something.

I lied in an earlier post when I stated that I was done modding. I totally forgot about the purchase I made from Z1 last November during their Black Friday sale. In a box in my garage, that is prominently marked with the Z1 logo, resides the upper and lower radiator hoses as well as two overflow hoses -- in the far-out, groovy red silicone. I will get around to installing these in a couple of weeks (240z work is on my plate this weekend).

I have a question for you, Mr. ZMan8 -- are you performing a radiator flush at the same time as you replace the hoses? I am curious. I am going to replace the coolant when I do mine.

Actually I passed up on the radiator hose for now. That one is the largest hose and also most visible. First I want to see what it will look like after I add the others. Then if I need more red to match the color scheme we have going on I will get the radiator hose as well.

On the topic of flushing the radiator it's not necessary you can just drain the fluid when you do the lower hose and refill after your done. Unless you have a lot of miles then yeah go ahead and get it flushed while your at it.
