Mr.Alchemy, glad to hear the issue for the brakes is solved and your Z is runny fine. BTW, did you adjust the alignment after the drop? Stock setting or you've changed it a bit?

:tup: :tup: for you dude!!

Mr.dAvenue, hope you will find the part and get it fixed at minimum cost. :tiphat:


Good Evening Fellows. :hello: :hello:


After seeing all those mods talk recently, I am looking to start saving money for my next mod, I am thinking about upgrading the brakes since the one on my Z now is the base model brake, you know, CD-size with small caliper, to upgrade to BBK front and back will cost me around $4-$5k :icon14: :icon14:
Struggling between BBK and just disc&pads now.... :eekdance:

:icon17: :icon17:

Good evening mr.alcheng. I would keep eye open for used sport brakes for sale (calipers) and get new rotors and pads aftermarket. :tup:

Thank you Mr.kenchan. :tiphat:

Meanwhile I will lookup the parts locally too, cos the cost for S&H will be quite $$$ due to the weight. :ugh2:

Swing by if it's convenient for a beer my friend! :tup:

Hey buddy, how's your brother doing? He's been on my mind lately.

Sounds good, thanks for the feedback. I heard the Koni's dropped 0.25 on swifts, so that could be the reason for scraping. I left mine on soft for DD with the Z33. Know now it's pretty much the consensus on the Z34. I am starting to to turn to the dark side (Koni). Will know more when I wring out Donald's on some twisties. I am betting though he will not let me go there. Have good evening and stop modding for awhile so you can get reacquainted with your NEW car...ha :tiphat:

Let me know, Mr. ZForce -- I am free all next weeknd and would love to have you come by.

Thanks for asking Mr. happytheman, it's a slow recovery process when the doctors reopen incisions that have not healed completely. The muscles are still sore around the ribs. Off the percacett and on Vicodin now. Has done some short drives to the market and really starting to get cabin fever. He knows not to overdue it, but on the other hand knows he needs to push himself a little. All in all in good spirits and an upbeat attitude. Thanks buddy, we really appreciate the warm thoughts. :tiphat:

I will get back with you Mr.onzedge. cheers :tup:

Nice work on your Z this weekend. :tiphat:

:tup:

Okay well the Z color change project is complete...for the most part. I will post some pictures within an hour or two. Been outside most of the day and just stopped by the site quickly before cleaning up. Overall I am happy with the Z's paint job although the finish quality is not up to a factory assembly line paint job and there are a few small spots at the tape lines were the original color is visible.

I've been gone for 4 days out of town, visiting my dad, step mom, and family on Long Island. The wife and I originally planned on visiting Philly, but news about my dad's being in the hospital changed those plans. He's okay now, after being under observation; he has to wear a defribulator for a month. Then, the docs will decide what to do for the long term.

Anyway, on the way to Long Island, and back to Rochester, I didn't see a single 370Z on the road! That's 700 miles of driving. However, I saw 2 300ZX's, 4 350Z's (I even accidentally parked by one in the hospital parking lot). Mostly, i saw the 350z's on LI. Where ARE WE??? I like being unique, but I want Nissan to keep making the cars!

Anyway, this trip gave me the first opportunity to test what the Z could do. It performed admirably. On some long straight stretches of Interstate 81 (speed limit 65), the Z hit 110 mph, if only briefly. I just wanted a taste. I backed off quickly. Didn't want to push my luck. Most times, I and some other leading cars were traveling at 80 mph, except of course when we were traveling on slower roads. I arrived home in record time ... 5 hrs, 16 minutes (355 miles). It was a fun ride today. VROOM! VROOM! :driving:

Sorry to hear about your dad. Is he going to be all right?

He's fine now, but he had a mild stroke that partially affected his vision in one eye. He says that it's improving. Thank God.
