That's an inspiring story, onzedge. It's an example of what a bit of faith and personal responsibility can deliver. You are an inspiration to many who feel that they are at the end of their respective ropes.

:iagree: mr.onzedge- it's great you're sharing your story with us. :) sorry, ive been in the garage all evening working on cleaning my G, then that camera mount. i missed like 3pages since i left work. :ugh2:

I have been working longer hours than usual and just had too much stuff going on at work so I have been less active then usual.

Other than that, pretty good. with the extended weekend and no more work on saturdays I can finally attend to Z projects again :happydance:

How are you doing?

Working and vegging. I had to ask to work tomorrow due to the holiday. I don't get paid holidays so I need to make it up somehow.

What's your next Z project?

I may or may not pass out in a few. The bed is calling my name.

Not much. Winding down. I am living through my buddy who is in Monaco for the F1 race..

Man that is one crazy place..Surreal... But I can only live through him because he won't adopt me.

But other than that, just winding down, ready to snooze and catch some ZZZZzzzzz.

BajaZ 05-26-2012 01:29 AM

i just took my Z to her first maintenance.. which leads me to my question of the day.. lol .. regular maintenance 36 dlls.. and 150 dlls for ester oil .. which they said it was way better.. what is your guys' take on this? overpriced? i could do better myself?...
i drove it for a while and it kinda feels better, but tomorrow im going for a longer drive

Good evening/morning Mike, I am going to bed very soon, the driver's side rear tire seems leaking air slowly, 3psi/2 days, I will have to go to the mechanic morning before going to work.

Good night bud! :tiphat: :tiphat:

I am too much of a newbie to answer your question.. Others will chime in, maybe in the morning..I had a 350Z for years , but my 2009 370Z I just picked up with 6000 miles on it...

So someone who knows should chime in to help, maybe in the morning...I would like to know the answer too.

Synthetic Oil is better than regular, that's for sure.

And for 150... I am not sure cos I don't live in the States, but I remember people in this forum has suggested Mobile 1.

Ester Oil is synthetic oil, it's the name of an ingredient, and I remember Mobile 1 synthetic has Ester in it too.

This is what my brain can squeeze out now... :yawn:

Ester Oil is Nissan's own brand synthetic oil, more like OEM product, it's not Mobile 1.

Thanks for the info, but I don't feel any closer to understanding how to determine what the issue is. :) What I'm hearing though is that the issue is likely engine related and not exhaust. :ugh2:

Wow! Just caught up on power reading literally about 20 pages. :eek: You guys tore it up today! :tup:
