^^ i've been very busy with work and i come here and read all this love.. im not much of a hug person .. but i share FIREs enthusiasm :) .. i too need to work on my car's paint .. and i need to buy an all weather cover, i am very sad that it will be sitting in a storage for some months but once i come back .. its work time !!!!

Zmaster do a search I know that I posted in a thread on car covers. This is where I orderd my car cover http://www.carcoversdirect.com/ As a note Zmaster I really feel you get what you pay for in car covers.

This forum makes me think I can do mods to my car by myself. Then I walk to my car, stand in front of it, walk back inside, pick up the phone and call a mechanic...:ugh2:

But uh... I successfully installed an in cabin air filter and shift knob! lmao



Was curious how easy it would be to wire up the rear fog off of a 12v power supply to use it as an on off switch? Or would it be easier to just wire it off the OEM harness from the BCM panel or w/e it is...

Sounds familiar. Congrats on the air filter and knob! :p

You have to start somewhere. It's baby steps, my brother. Walk before you run. One day at a time.

I think it would be easier to run off factory harness.

I think so too, but then I get intimidated by the wiring that's involved lol

Good Afternoon Mr.kenchan :tiphat:

The High-of-The-Day is by the time I start leaving to the dealer the sun came out and the temperature rise, there was some rain-water on the Z but it dried up quickly.


Ms.Pintsize725, you are talking about shift-knob, right???

:bowrofl:


Howdy!!! :hello: :hello:

Mr.kenchan... most of your recent post are..... :ugh2:... yesterday you talked about open your door to the UPS guy with your pants down... today you want guys over boobs..... :ugh2:

jk jk jk..... it's hump day, you know... :bowrofl: :bowrofl:


Mr.onzedge.... it's an honor that Iam NOT on that list.... :icon17:


Mr.Fire, for sure I know you are not :supergay: since everybody here knows you have the special interest in Raccoons....... especially into those Ninja and drunken types..... :bowrofl:


Back to the Z stuffs, so I went to the dealer the pick up my Z, and I look at the lining carefully and inspect everything.... still it is not perfect because their contractor is trying to fix the top instead of replace the worn part.

So I tell them I am not completely satisfy with the job, the two personnel in the service department, one adviser and one manage, trying to explain to me what's the pros and cons, the whole time they are polite and patient, so at the end, since I do not want to leave to Z to them for another week for this issue, we, both parties, agreed I can bring the Z back to them around the winter time, so I will leave the Z to them and they will replace the canvas.

Done deal for now, and the service adviser offer me either a)an oil-change or b)a detailing service....

I chose (c)... I took a grey color Nissan Polo Shirt :icon18:

Well, the polo has their "Scarborough Nissan" logo on it, but what the heck, so far I am happy with them, so I wouldn't mind putting it on.

If they screw me in the future, I'll just stitch "Don't Go To" above their logo.... :icon18: :icon18:

Yes.....shift knob.....that. :ugh2:


So, what exactly are you trying to get repaired on your Z? I guess I missed that day.

No time to catch up just yet....but I am about to play in very wet conditions with my new PSS which have a coupla hundred miles on 'em now. :tup:

hey fire- good to hear success with the detailing! :tup: good luck with the rest of your detailing. :hello:

once you get passed the first few 'oh my gosh i am a wimp' mods it wont feel much different thereafter. :icon17: it gets more tool intensive though. if you're up to the task (and you have the time) it's worth doing it, i think. but if you have a good mechanic you can count on, i suppose letting them do the work is not a bad idea either especially if you dont feel like buying the tools and/or just have a busy schedule.

regarding the fogs...if your car has the pre-wired harness i suppose plugging into that would be pretty easy. the other end a rocker switch for the center console or was it a steering stalk?

my car did not have the pre-wire so i just ran new wires. it's just time consuming to remove the trunk liner and center console so definitely do the rear view camera/HU and perhaps dynamat while you have the liner out. :tup:

hey, mr.alcheng - glad to hear your canvas top ordeal is temporarily resolved + a nice new polo. :tup:

regarding my other posts... why do people keep 'fixing' my posts? i sound rediculous. :icon17: hahahaha

so im going to see if i can install the car cradle tonight on my G. not sure if i have enough room for the proclip bracket. i have a feeling when i enter the 1st gear gate, my hand will bump it. hummm... may try the cubby. :excited: i wont have the hardwire microusb cable for a few more days...

I hear ya on this one LOUD AND CLEAR on this one! I've been putting LOTS of hours in this week. :shakes head:

Mr.kenchan, looks like there's not too many places in the G for you to mount the bracket...

Looks like he cubby is the way to go... :tup:

Blew out an exhaust gasket on a run today. Car sounds like azz and zdayz hasnt even officially started. Every road here is amazing. BUT the other drivers are very dangerous and irresponsible. Few close calls already. Bikers are huge yellow line offenders, scary.

At dinner, little droid shot off the porch.

:drool::drool::drool: Sorry to hear about your blown doohickey. Hopefully you had fun doing it?









Can I rant about non Z related stuff here?

LOL we all do Pint.

Sorry to hear about the exhaust gasket Alchemy. Just looked at the Harrisburg Pa weather 0% yes I said 0% chance of rain this weekend. :woot:

Alchemy I see a a a a vert OMG. First pic posted this week with a vert. Thank you for posting that :tup:Oh crap it's a 350Z LOL I almost had a 370Z vertgasm.

Lol, i have seen a few 370 verts runnin around tho:tup:

Kewl Alchemy up for pics when you have time.

Unfortunately it's a Union shop so the pay raises are predetermined. It would take 280 days to get to the top rate which is still :icon14: I may decide to go into business for myself... Not sure if I want the headaches that are associated with that though.

We can do mods on our kids Big Wheels. :bowrofl:

Installed the plate LEDs and discovered a huge scuffed area on my Z's butt. :shakes head: Guess this gives me more incentive to save up for the Amuse rear.

Who scuffed your rear Pint. Big wheel mods could be kewl Gale.

Mr.alcheng - very dissapointing to hear. Hopefully they'll fix it properly this winter.

Brantly- do you have enough faith in the PSS' to turn the VDC off in the wet stuff? :stirthepot:

You know you're old when you don't need to Google "Big Wheel" to know what it is. :bowrofl:

:tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup:

LOL. I do have a question for you guys. In my instructions on the DA RO polisher they say that low speed is for final polishing with high speed for fixing imperfections in the paint. On the web site they have it the other way which is it?

:tup: Nice.

This is correct.

OK that is how I used it today fixing the scuffs on the trunk lid.:tup:

HelloZ from 30,000'!
Gave my Z some stick on the way home from the salon today before hosing off the pollen and putting the cover on her. Another couple of days of not driving for me. At least the limo company we use in Dallas picks us up in Audi A8L's :tup:

I'm so glad we make you uncomfortable! :tup:

Nah, I'm glad to hear you're trying things you wouldn't normally do. And look...you wouldn't have ever known how easy a random orbital is to use unless you took the plunge! :happydance:

You have an ignore list too? How many people are on it now?

I tried to "ignore" myself. It did not work. So I have no one on it yet.

Washed her tonight only to end up driving through a street sweeper's dirt. :(
LEDs look nice at least. Stalk me if you dare.

I think my Z my blow up if I touch that button! Im sure it would be just fine Gale. I don't panic when I get sideways, I just grin like a schoolboy! :tup:

Wow! The LEDs look great Pint! Where did you pick them up at? Oh yea, clean garage! :yum:
