hey the sun is out and hopefully here to stay. i need to wash my G later today...

I love rhymes! :p

:icon17: damn, im a naturally born j-rapper. :wtf2:

:icon17: Kenchan has skillz!!








So just got back from lunch where I rode in a coworkers Ford Focus. She has 4 different tire brands, two of which need to be replaced, hasn't changed her oil in a year, speeds like a bat out of hell. :ugh2: Makes me appreciate my ride more.

:shakes head: :)

Happy post birthday Ms. Pint!

:icon14::eek::tup:

Car is at koeppel Nissan and they are saying it looks like it will need a new navi system that's gotta be close to 8k in repairs I'd think. Anyway glad I'm under warranty

:icon17:

woah, on your coworker's focus... :ugh2: it's always those folks in crappy cars in rain that they speed like hell and drive like grandpa (girls included) on sunny days. :shakes head:



yah, welcome to 2 days ago... :ugh2: hahaha :icon17:

:icon17:

:eekdance: holy crap... so why did the a/c die with it?

92

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

couple more hours and im outta here. :excited:

Today is my Saturday! I'm over on the left coast of Florida now. We actually were able to go through with our original plans for this weekend! Yay!

Will check in laters to see how my peeps be.

Ken, you didn't respond to my inquiry on what youre running up front now. 255 or 245?
More pics please!

oh? :confused: im running 245/40/19 and 285/35/19 on the nismo's. im actually running the advans too as ive not tried those tires before and found that supersports dont come in the 285/35/19 size. :ugh2: so next up, im probably getting RE11's on these.

have fun out there on the left coast! :tup:

Thanks Mr. Happy! :)






Isamu: This thread was just fine without you in it. :tup:

happy belated :)

Thanks sir! :)

:driving: Drove the Z to town-pick up some adult beverages-park in front yard so i can enjoy the Z while supper prep going on-hubby home-few chores....let the weekend begin!!:excited:

Have a great week end everybody!:icon17:

nice~! :tup: have a great weekend! :hello:

:tup: :tup: Good that you can stay with your original plan, and save the extra $2k you might have to spend if you go to Bahamas.


:tup:

Good afternoon everyone :tiphat: :tiphat:


Coming back from holidays is no fun... :icon14: lots of things to go after... :icon14:

Luckily the helpers are helpful, the store is still in one piece... :icon17:

Z related... the rainstorm on Wed night dirty the Z pretty badly... gonna see if I can wash it over the weekend... 5 days to exhaust installation, counting down now :excited: :excited:

hey mr.alcheng! :hello: good to hear your store is in one piece. :icon17:

i need to wash my G too as soon as i get home tonight... drove through 3 rainy days this week so :barf:

anyway, got a new pair of hubcentric 10mm bolt-ons on the way for my G. :p
expensive has hell... but my kics 10mm did not work very well so trying a different brand.

Hello Mr.kenchan :tiphat: :tiphat:

If driving through rainy day won't dirty my car, I wouldn't hate it that much.. :icon17:

Did you get new tires aka PSS for the NISMO rims or they comes with the rims??

HAHAHA! mr.alcheng if road salt was good for the car i would be motoring all winter too. :tup:

i wanted to get the PSS, but i found out early on that 285/35/19's aren't offered by michelin. the nismo wheels being ET23 on the rear, i wanted it closer to the rear arch to minimize gap, so i just went with the AdvanSport for now. ive seen base running nismo's in person and i liked how it fit so just copied this time to minimize risk.

the thing i read about RE11's was it tends to flatspot easily so i was hesitant to try it especially since my Z sits in the garage 5days of the week. it will most likely be the next tires i wrap if not the S04's in the 245/285 configuration. :)

im going to wrap the Weds with PSS next.

You wont be disappointed in ISS Forged. You made a great choice!

quite a BEAST you go there w.o.w! :eek: :tup: 345/25/20 rear tires with twin turbo stage2. :eek: can you fly to the moon?

I want an *** shot with those tires... i wonder how much he had to roll/pull the fenders..

:iagree: in for pics!

Me too!:iagree::pics:

i grabbed this from w.o.w's album page.... holy crap! :eek:

Obama cut NASA funding so short answer is NO! :roflpuke2:

:icon18:

Only front were rolled for 285/30/20. :tiphat:

dang it, wind coming from the north now and barometric pressure falling... :ugh: this means it might rain when i get home. i suppose if it's only a sprinkle i can still wash the car.

The ac didnt die, its just stuck on full blast because none of the buttons on the center console are working. Unfortunatley going to take 3 weeks to get all the parts :/ parts alone came to $5500 everything covered under warranty of course.

ahh, ok since you have the nav unit you have a different stereo setup than my base HU+hvac control module. that makes sense, but the price and lead-time :eekdance:

:icon18:


$5500 :eek: :eek: Luckily it's under warranty.


BTW, side question, do you guys find the 370z has more problem/defect than the previous generation?

I found mine has more than the 350z, well, actually is mainly the soft-top related problem and it's pain in the bu!! to get it fixed. But the Steering-Lock issue, fuel-starvation, and some other rattles issues... mmm.....

I ran a set of the Advans on my last ride and they were good, but not great. Also, don't hope for long tread life. I chewed through the Yokahamas like no ones business. :ugh2:

Thanks man. Yah, always nice for things to go off as planned. We would have easily spent the $2k and had a great time. I'm sure my wife would have partakenn in the "trainer for a day" experience at Dolphin Cay. Me? I woulda frolicked all day in the lazy river. Atlantis' lazy river is second to none! :tup:

No garage for your Z? :crying:

Can't wait to hear your new pipes!

how big are your front wheels? I am doing 12 inches in the rear, 10.5 in the front

this is what im going to do right now! :happydance:
