Hard to say as they have no life expectancy

Can you grind it down flat? Like, is it a casting imperfection? :confused:

IDK if I could grind it down perfectly flat. The flange on the test pipe that mates to the header has a slight curve to it. Again, not sure if this is the prob. When its all bolted down tight it looks to be fine.

Thanks for the good wishes.

The car is so much more alive with VDC off.

VDC off is the way to go. Even makes my shifts feel smoother.

:icon18:

When I did my headers I took my steering shaft off and wasn't able to put it back on the right way, now my steering wheel is crooked. If I drive more than a couple of miles it automatically turns VDC off for me cause it doesn't know what the hell is going on :rofl2:


Sent from my iPizzle using magic and new-fangled science stuff

Hey buddy (and everyone else)! :hello:

Im here, it just seems that every morning I can't see to get my posts in prior to 7:30.... Between 7:30 and 7:45 (as you well know) there's some kind of database maintenance. :(

Anyways, I reall need to get off my butt and put that Dr. Color chip to work, especially after I discovered a new scratch on my passenger door this week.

I will admit that I was (and still are) very disheartened by the "smack down". I understand that we tended to get off topic, but it was usually wrangled back under control without intervention. I'm displeased with Triple's statement and I feel that it could have been a bit more cordial. The tone of his post did nothing but create unrest within the community. I have lost respect for this forum to a degree. It feels like the "family" aspect has been tainted.

I miss Ken. He was a great contributor to this site, with a wealth of knowledge.

------------------------------------

Thread relevancy: Drove her to work and back home again. No. Opportunity to open her up, tho. :(

Relevant to Z discussion:

While driving the Z it is common to have "ricer fly bys" happen. However, today reached a new level. While Z'ing home from work, I was vicitim of yet another "ricer fly by" by some 16 year old, driving a PORSCHE PANAMERA TURBO.... :ugh2: :shakes head:

He was driving normally until he saw me, at which point he decided "lets catch up to this guy, almost run into him from behind, swerve to the right lane, then proceed to cut him off, then go back into the right lane" ?:confused:

Parents who gave that kid that car should be sent to jail. what is the world coming to?

I think so buddy. Nothing from him since 9:33pm on the 14th. :(

-------------------

Didn't wash her today. Didn't clay bar her today. Didn't polish her today. :shakes head:

ms. pint actually made the best point - most of us are Premium members who PAY for the privilege of posting on, and help support, this forum. Great demographic to runoff.

I stand by my original post.

Now to some thread relevant items:

On the way home, someone in an Altima tried to cut me off. He must be a hater. I downshifted using my paddle shifters and got out of his way.

While washing my car this afternoon, I noticed a few bugs on the front bumper. When I used a Brillo pad to remove them, the paint came off! Why is our paint so soft?

I had to fill-up this morning, and saw that regular was $0.25 less than premium, so I went with the regular. It really can't make that much of a difference. I bet Nissan owns a lot of oil company stock.

While I was filling up, a guy in a Ferrari 458 told me his car was better than my Z. That makes me mad. He must be a hater.

Checked the oil too. I'm getting close to change time and can't decide between dino and synthetic. The convenience of going 15k miles between changes with the synthetic is appealing. I could go three years without having to change my oil.

I drove over to Autozone to check out the different oils. I walked out of the store to find a 1986 Dodge Caravan wedged next to me! Must be a hater.

I'm going to hook up with some friends tomorrow and do some serious cruising. I hope no one in an EVO tries to race me. That would make me mad.

I'll take a bunch of pictures and post on Sunday.

:roflpuke2: :roflpuke2: :roflpuke2: :roflpuke2: :roflpuke2: :roflpuke2: :roflpuke2: :roflpuke2:

Relevant item: I thought about getting really drunk an driving my Z way too fast while howling at the moon, but thought better of it.

Also, I found a dead mouse in the garage, where I keep the Z... He must be a hater. :mad:

:iagree: I looked forward to reading this thread. The "other" thread just isn't the same.

I agree with you --this thread it is not exactly the same as it was. The "other" thread is 100%the goofy and off-topic while this one had the right mix.

Cheer up my brothers and sisters. This is but a bump in the road. We make this forum what it is. Stand united. Keep up the struggle and keep coming back.

Oh yeah..... Where is Mr. Kenchan???

Picking up ShoFamous at the airport. Saw another PW near me. :)
God I wish I was flying out of Texas for a bit. :(

Whoaaaa! Guys!!!!

My earlier post was just meant to get folks to Keep things on Topic and move the chit chat elsewhere

And to be Honest It wasn't intended to hurt members feelings, And if it did? Please accept my apologies :tiphat:

Please understand that a lot of other members look to this thread in interest of seeing what other members are doing with their Z

and not how members are just socializing with off topic discussions.

I hope everyone understands and use the useless to chit chat on things that have nothing to do with their Z.

In fact why doesn't someone create a thread like a cordial z thread like it was suggested earlier in the off topic section/lounge?

In regards to Ken? My earlier Warning post has nothing to do with Ken since it was a group issue that had been going on long enough.

I have not had any contact with Ken either.


Any ways back on topic!

Drove the Z in 94º weather today :(

Sooo someone start this thread. My phone battery is dying.....

Mine too fuuudge! I did however just finish washing my car for the first time since I got it. Looking good. Now just gotta clean interior tomorrow. I love only having two seats lol.

Come to Cali for next month's SoCal meet!
---------------
Dreamnt about my Z cause she's at home and I'm down South!

I'm there if you're paying for either gas or a plane ticket. ;)

Why can't the cordial thread just be in general? We are a welcoming committee after all. :rolleyes:

We'll start a fund to raise the cash!

It's a socializing thread? which belongs in the Lounge

And by all means everyone is Welcomed of course :tup:

I had my car washed today.. woo... and I got to drive it after a few weeks. double woo.

And if all you TX folks want a meet, come to znationals in Oct! duh

That's in Georgia right?

yup. Sure is. znationals.com

Here we go all, a thread just for those of us that wish to get off topic if need be:

See ya there! :hello:

Moderators, please feel free to close this thread and let it go the way of the dodo bird.

I'll close it. :)

I agree with Triple's. This thread was created to put your daily update in one post "what did you do your Z today". Very simple and straight. Typical post here should be , "I washed my Z today or installed ____ in my Z" etc. You can talk/discuss about it but it must be an educational/on topic discussion. Not useless stuff. You have the right to discuss a post. i have created this forum for you to discuss and absorb/gather information about the Z. For example you can reply to a suspension installation post by asking,"how much drop did you get or how do you like your handling now?" etc. but this is not a place to just goof around or talk useless stuff. For example, when I clicked on THIS THREAD , all I saw was useless replies from what's going on in fit forum, people talking about ken and what they ate for dinner. That's NOT what I want in this thread. This thread sholuld be about what you did you your Z today (specifically) and people asking specific questions about that wash/install/post etc.


:iagree:

I want this thread to be informational and On topic. I really don't want to dig through useless stuff as I'm scrolling through.

I want you guys to post in here with your daily update what you did to your Z today. I want the discussion to be specific and informational. You are also welcome to perticipate in my old thread that I created: http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-p...3-my-370z.html Basically you make a single post adding a picture of the Z.
