Hello from 36,000 feet! Airplane wifi is amazing but slow. This picture will probably take me 10 minutes to upload. Here goes...http://img.tapatalk.com/6148f3df-8f3d-b75d.jpg

Glad to hear you stayed out of the wood chipper :tup:

Have a safe flight.

So yummy! :yum:

Nice! What wheels did you decide on?

Happy birthday Ms.Pint :hello:

:iagree:

Greetings from Battle Lake, MN!!!

Today it was 100 degrees here so I removed my dealer sticker. EVERY LETTER was a seperate piece, plus a line separating the dealer name from "NISSAN" and two letters in a circle. :shakes head:

A few squirts of naphtha, a little polish, and some quick detailer, and all evidence is gone. :happydance:

Then I put another 50 miles on the car. It needs to be washed... My deionizer thingy is supposed to be here tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to get it all cleaned up and looking sharp this weekend.

nice! :tup: ...but uh oh.. :ugh2: but at least you got the crap off! :tup:


dang, sounds like a PITA!! good job, davey! :tup: yah definitely use deionizer with hard water. luckily for me my water isn't too bad so i can wash even in the sun if it's not toooo strong. like summer day sun is too strong but spring/fall no issue. i try to wash my G in the late afternoon since my driveway is in the shade. :tup:

haha, means shake my heinie :icon17:

I cannot wash my Z in the sun without drying it quickly. We have reaaaaallllly hard water here. :(

Whew! Sweeping, mopping and laundry..just how I want to finish off the day!

Well, I was thinking it was a little more risqué! :rofl2:

:icon18: sorry to burst your excitement, mr. happy. :icon17:

"shake my head" is the actual acronym.

:eek::p

would this work? :confused: usually i would recommend one that's pressurized though.

why is there an issue with Trolls on here lately :shakes head:

Isamμ is actually evoAXE. i got is IP.

You're going through a lot of trouble posing as someone else. Such a badasss

:icon18: I posted that exact thing in another thread...and I didn't even have to get the IP, it just sounded too similar....

hey mr.zman- anything cool planned for your ride? :tup:

the z passed 19k miles today... i need to buy it something to celebrate.

well i was about to make some serious purchasing at Z1 motorsports, but I took a big hit in my stocks and had less money than expected.

However, once I sort that mess out the next mods are as follows:

Oil cooler kit
Hood dampers
Rear Camber arms/Toe Bolts
Shift knob
Sway bar

nice! :tup: nice detailing product or parts?

sorry to hear about the stock situation. :( hope you find that investment to net something back! :tup:

are you having issues with oil temps? ive not had one issue even during the hot summer days. the only thing i use is mobil1 silver cap and factory oil filter. :icon17: and i drive pretty spiritedly at times.

so you're already lowered then? :confused:

Yeah I hope so too that equals more $ for the Z :tup:

Oil temps I dont have too many issues but on our spirited cruises they do get up to 240. Its less because of oil temp issues and more for general safety and to protect the engine. From what I read the optimal temps are 180-200 after that there will be slight bogging down, after 220 especially. One day I may also decided to track or autocross it so I'll definitely need one then.

Since I want to keep the car a long time, I figure it's a good investment. I use red line oil , and it did help keep the temps maybe 5 degrees lower.

Well the story with the lowering is that because my CPA exam swallows my time :ugh2:. The swifts springs are in my garage, and I'll just wait to get camber arms and install it all at once. :tup:

i see... huh, i didnt know the engine was programmed for 180-200. im usually around 220 range during my drives. no issue bogging yet, but heat does take away some power especially after a long stop waiting for the freight train to pass or something. my IAT's like 130F+ by that time. :icon17: on a typical summer day my IAT's only about 9-11F higher than ambient. :tup:

ahh, so you're going to be ready to have a new setup when you're done with your CPA stuff. :tup:

which reminds me... i need to get my G's alignment soon. i hit a pretty big bump the other day on the road from all the heat where the asphalt raised up like 5-6inches. :eek: wasn't expecting that.

Yes I'm usually at 220 myself during normal driving. by bogging down I mean it seems the heat causes worse response from the engine almost like there is slightly less power. I keep forgetting to log my IATs but I think I will next drive I do.

And yes once CPA is complete I will buy somethign :happydance:

ahh, yah, my other cars including my G is softer when temps are high. basically the air is less dense with oxygen and humidity makes it worse.

when i had my old wrx it was terrible. i suppose i couldve played with closed-loop map... that was like 10yrs ago. :icon17: actually that was the car that made me realize there's no substitute for displacement. my G has really no issue in the summer day. a tad softer, but not weak like 4banger turbo's.

well this morning chicago humidity was 89% :eekdance:

woah, like living in tokyo. :ugh2: hot sauna... steamy... moldy..:icon14:

yeah it was also heat index of 106.... I think Chicago broke triple digits 7 times this month

holy craps. :eekdance:

hey brand new. :p

:happydance: you finally got them!?

yah, took a while. :tup:

:woot: congrats. I look forward to new pics of the whole car!.

thanks! :tup: this is all i have for now.

WoW i must say the Nismo wheels on a non nismo Z look fantastic! :tup:

hey thanks! :D yah, im pretty happy with how it turned out.

i tried some photoshop to change the finish to other colors like gunmetal, black, etc but on these wheels the factory color seems to have the most pop.

when i changed to darker colors, the wheels looked kinda cheap. :ugh2: i will let my Weds do the dark wheel theme. :icon17: hahaha.

so how will you alternate them, just based on mood? :icon17:

Kenchan, looks amazing buddy!

hahaha, yah, pretty much i guess. i want to get supersports wrapped on the weds before i put them back on again. :D

thanks, sibze! :tup:
