Nice tires Happy...I was pretty set on replacing mine with Nitto NT05 but I think if I don't get PSS....I'll be dissapoint. lol

A few friends drove to the drag strip, and I finally got a rolling shot of my car!

I'm in Florida as of next Saturday but I'll be Z-less for 3 weeks, very sad :(

Thanks for the recommendation, Pint, but what's in an Amuse kit? :confused:

Evening all :hello:


Just arrived back from GTG and photoshoot at Treasure Island in San Fran. Great turnout 50+ cars. A lot of 370Z's.

My pics came out crappy, so hopefully others that attended will post up some snaps.

A buddy of mine did have the most expensive wheels I have ever seen in the flesh.....lets just say they run what some make in a year. Rays..... 12k per set, 8 months on order. Add to that some Brembo 6 caliper brakes. I have some pics but washed out of his 370Z GTM TT.

Evening all, and a good night to all. :tiphat:

Good evening all. Whew long day for me today. Planted 3 trees for my mother today. 2 pear trees and 1 peach tree. removing the grass is tough, that stuff is rooted pretty deep and we try to salvage the patches I removed and relocated them to areas that dont have any.

I also vaccumed and detailed the interior of my dd...it was getting disgusting in there driving to and from work. Now it's all clean :).

After a long day in the sun, a few beers went down real well. Nice to kick back and breathe a little before the week ahead.

Just got home from San Diego. I spent the weekend down there visiting a long time friend who was there visiting his GF's family. On the way down on Friday I stopped into Specialty Z and had Sabastian install the Osiris Uprev software and dyno tune the car. Ended up making 305 to wheels in 5th gear. I am really happy with the tune so far. It seems to have smoothed out the powerband while providing about 10hp compared to the baseline. On the drive back from SD I had the tune set on the fuel economy tune and it seems to be working. I won't know how much it helped fuel milage until I fill up again but I have more bars left on the gauge than I normally have after that long of a drive. With how many 5 hour drives I do with the car that setting might end up paying off the tune pretty quick with saved fuel. Now that I provided this update to my recent Z activiity I have some catching up to do.

Congrats on the tune. I wish there was a place near me that would do that. How long did it take from getting there to leaving?

You can reset your MPG indicator on your multi-gauge by holding down one of the buttons, I think.

Thanks,

I showed up around lunch time so I ended up going to lunch with them and then went over to Fast Intentions to pick up some exhuast parts that was ready from them. So I ended up leaving the Shop around 5pm. The actual tuning part only took about 1.5 hours or so. They were good guys over there. Four of us piled into a Cayanne Turbo and Sabastian and another customer went in a 700WHP Z32 that they had just finished up for that customer. The Cayanne Turbo probably had more pull with the 4 of us in it than my Z. The Z32 walked on us pretty easily though. I wish ever day this was how my drive to lunch went. For them it probably is though so I am jellous.

Same here, but my own house. Mowed. Dug up two shrubs that I didn't like and planted new ones in their place. Planted flowers around the front steps and spread mulch on all the beds. Two scoops worth.
I hurt everywhere. I'm thinking a drive in the Z with the heated seat on might be therapeutic, but I got a little sunburned yesterday, so that's out.

m4a1mustang 05-14-2012 08:13 AM

Morning. :yawn:

Terrible headache this morning. :( Hoping it goes away soon. Trying to get out of here at around 1-2pm so I can finish preparing for ZDayZ. We leave tomorrow. :)
