Received a compliment on my daytime running lights (I have a 2013 Z). I pulled into a parking lot to return a movie to the Redbox machine there. A guy was leaving in his car and stopped by me waiting for me to get out of my car. He asked if the lights were OEM and I said "Yes, they are standard now on the 2013 Zs". I know the redesigned front of the 13 Z is a source of contention, but at least one other non Z driver liked them well enough to compliment me on how they looked!!!!

:hello:

motored and QD'ed. :tup:

Ran my first auto-X:tup:

My times not too great but gawd. What a challenge! :happydance: :driving:

BTW-two BC 2012 6mt sport Zs there !!!!

:tiphat: Ma'am

Gave my Z the first long drive, moved it from NY to Texas in 3 days and 1850 miles, just one speeding ticket and 152.- less in my pocket because of it, but was so worth it. :driving:

An Escort Passport 8500 x50 costs relatively $300-$350 new. I'm certain it would have saved you $152 this trip and will save you more in the future. LOL

Actually I have a build in stealth Whistler, which works great, ticket was in Virginia, no radar allowed and turned it off. Was actually not that fast, 82 in a 70 Zone, but 100.- court fees. my fault, but did not think much at 2am on a empty Highway. Anyway, was my first speeding ticket in over 10 Years and did not even argue.

That's hot!

Filed a claim with Nissan Corporate regarding my headliner separating from the front windshield. She put a note in my file regarding my aversion to the local Nissan dealers in town just in case it takes me more than 1000K miles to find another dealer to do the work (I'm at 35K miles and my extended warranty isn't through Nissan). Whee :ugh2:

:eek: x 2 :ugh2:
sorry about your flat LMB and GL with headliner Jar...

My localest (closest) dealer are morons, I wouldn't let those guys put air in my tires. I told Nissan this and told them not to bother I wouldn't go there anyway, and Lo and Behold, don't I get a phone call from that same Stealership about Nissan contacting them about problems. I was like all nice and he was all nice and so forth, and he gave me his personal number (I wanted to get the SWL changed) and we concluded our phone call amicably. But, they are still MORONS there. Everytime I leave there I want to wash my car and take a shower, the sales guys there are out and out crooks, and that's just the front area, haha.

There are about 4 Nissan dealers in the Orlando area, so no worries about finding another one, Derek in Deland is highly recommended GTR qualified, but I doubt he has the time to change an SWL. Probably the oil guy gets to "Learn" on jobs like those....oh, those wires, nah, don't worry about them, that scratch, ah it was there before.....CEL? You need to "prove" we did that, etc.

Hope you get your headliner sorted out.

went red under the hood this Saturday...just cause!:icon17:

Ordered SPL rear diff bushing from Joe@Zspeed.

:tiphat: I am half tempted to just use my own warranty, pay the deductible, and have an upholstery specialist do the work. I would prefer that Nissan eat this cost, but I am worried. I stopped by the nearest dealer last Friday to ask them about my SLIP Indicator light that keeps coming on, and not only did they do a brake flush without my permission, they tried to charge me for it :facepalm: I am so fed up with these idiot dealershits :mad: Not to mention there's the guy that took his Z in for the same issue (headliner replacement), and the techs scratched up a bunch of the plastic trim pieces and didn't even install the headliner correctly - the dealer is going to take care of everything for him, but I'd rather not have to deal with something like that.

Exactly, fix one thing, break two others.

In my earlier post I was not disparaging Deland Nissan in any way, I've never been there, heard nothing but good things about those guys.
My example was purely hypothetically based on real life experience with simple jobs at Stealershits going to the guys with the least to lose. Your car gets damaged and you have little to no recourse, just saying.

OK, now you get to move to the tire/wheels section and tell us what tires you're getting and why? I'm not going to buy for a while but I follow tires pretty closely trying to learn best value for money.

Or fix nothing... the light came back on the same day at lunch. I called them to mention that, and the guy said, "Well, what do you want me to do about it?" I responded, "What I wish you had done this morning... not a damn thing."

FWIW, specifically, I am very pleased with the life, wet weather performance, and price of my Nitto Invos :tup:

Aggghhhh! First door ding noticed after morning wash. Polished the other cars paint off, no penetration of clear coat or paint, just a tiny little indentation, but still pissed. :mad:

K&N drop-in. Very happy with the mod.:tup: Picking up HKS Hi Power tomorrow.:happydance:

I had a very busy weekend

Washed the Z, detailed the interior then drove about 30 miles to pickup a new daily since my brother decided to not allow me to use his car for me to carpool into work anymore.

This means the Z retires from daily duty and goes exclusively to a weekend toy. No more taking it to the beach too :icon17:

Went with the LED's to match the paint last night...so much red never looked so good :icon17:

Did my first trackday of the year at PittRace. Had a great time. :driving: Now I have to wash off the anti-freeze from the Viper ACR that crashed two turns in front of me. :eek: The owners first time on the track for him and the Viper. He was driving over his head.

Drove the dragon at a leisurely pace for the first time.

Didn't know you could do that. :rolleyes:

Cleaned her insides. I've been neglecting her exterior though, much like a man. :p

I washed her and drove her through town. dayum. the gun metallic really sparkles when the sun hits it! breaks necks and little sideways glances from other drivers :woot:

Got the best smile from what appeared o be a mom and some kids in a beater today:tup: god love her:icon17: i smiled and toodled at her:tup:

Well, stop neglecting a man's exterior. Run him through a brushless car wash at the least.
