Put the L Brackets on my woofer box...no more woofer roll at start/stop !!! :icon17:

I picked up my Z from Joe @ Dynotronics last night with the new EcuTek tune. Additional tuning and dyno will come later, but here is my review of the initial results.

Big thanks to Joe!! It's been a great experience working with him. He's a busy guy, but that's to be expected because he clearly knows his $hit. I'm looking forward to continuing the relationship as more features are released and the adjustments are fine tuned :tiphat:

Cleannnnn her off and detail. :tup:

I need to go and detail my machine today for tonights relief fund raiser car meet in dallas. :o

Well yesterday I was busy.
-Re-attached my front lip. Made it look MUCH cleaner and not as shotty as my last DIY job lol. Also needed to change out some of the 3M tape as the first time around it was not sticking as well as I had hoped.
-While I had the bumper off, did the DIY CAI mod also using dryer duct and the making the fangs useful. To say the least, my intake temps dropped tremendously. I run K&N Typhoon intake and my temps were about 35-50 higher then ambient air temps. Yesterday after driving around with it, my air temps were at a MAX 15 degrees higher then ambient air temps at cruising speeds. Worth the $20 if you don't have a CAI IMO. I need to still change it up a bit to make it look a little cleaner.
-Dropped my rear diff off at the transmission shopped to get assembled with the Quaife LSD and 4.08 gears installed. Probably the thing I'm most excited about.
-Washed and waxed her to finish the day off and enjoyed some friends at a car meet. Good day off I'd say :tup:

Im at 7-8 over ambient temp...not bad

Cold day here in Germany. Spring? Summer? Not quite yet. Sort of there. Drove to get my hair buzzed and off to the gym. Found a nice gap on the Autobahn for some 3 digit fun! I just wish is would stay a touch warmer.

You've been M.I.A. lately sir. :hello:

I think strips of Velcro would be much better

Finally....i can post in this thread. hahahaha....

I need pics of those Vossens in my life, man!!!!

Soon as he picks her up next week I will overload this Forum with pics.

I think the Matte Graphite CV3 matches the Red 370z very well! Alot of these Forum members hate CV3

Damn I haven't driven my Z since last Friday after getting a daily so I drove her around town to make sure everything was lubed up properly and working well.

Wow you can really appreciate the Z even more when you don't drive it

moved my WEDS rears to garage from storage to get new DW's wrapped...hopefully this weekend. going from 275/35/19 to 285/35/19.

my advans on my nismo wheels are almost done...

Played in the rain.
Passed a couple of Mustangs whose drivers were obviously petrified by their RWD monsters.

Tried to take the oem shift knob off of the car.

Going to Gym next week and try it again next next week.:tup:

Gym wont help you. A leather strap wrench will!!

If you are trying to remove it without damaging it good luck. When I removed mine it came off in multiple pieces.

1) accept that you are going to destroy your shift knob in the process of taking it off the car. I've done it twice - on my current car the knob actually ripped in half all the way through the aluminum threading.

2). Assemble the following: two pipe wrenches, a towel, wire brush, and a friend.

3). Attach wrench #1 to shift knob. Wrap towel around shifter (shaft) and attach wrench #2. Have your friend hold wrench #2 steady so you don't torque the gearbox and go to town on the shift knob. It'll come off. Use wire brush to clean threading on shaft.

Nissan uses a ridiculous amount of loctite on the OEM shift knob for reasons I will never understand - especially considering they sell aftermarket shift knobs.

I guess the Nissan worker that put my shift knob on had a lazy day and didnt put it on the way it was supposed to... My shift knob came off without a struggle and intact.

I drove my wife's Pontiac G6 to work after driving my Z to work for the past 3 weeks, 150 miles round trip. I used to think the G6 was somewhat sporty, now it feels like I'm driving a school bus compared to the Z. I now know what it feels like to drive a real sports car. :tup:

Haha true that. But I used a rubber strap wrench and it just kept slipping.:shakes head: Next time I will use a big boy pipe wrench instead.:icon18:

I agree... At this moment, I'd say I don't care to destroy the oem shift knob or not. I already got a lightly used oem shift knob as a spare.

Thanks for the tips!:tiphat: Yup I will use a pipe wrench instead.

Hmmm, lucky you or maybe your previous owner already did the dirty job for you if yours is a used?

On another note, I got a Nismo chrome shift knob. How's the fitment? Is it hard to align the words towards the rear?

Hey forza they use A LOT of locktite on mine. I used a 6in pipe wrench. Make sure you clean up the threads good before re install. The green locktite is awesome!

Thanks man.:tiphat: I will make sure to clean the threads before put the new one on.

Ordered Blitz SBC Spec R boost controller

Oh my gawd-rain and cold sucks
 

:tup: drove the Z to Indiana. Headed to Carb Day tomorrow!
:vuvuzela: :driving: effing A!!!

Finally got my z back today after it being in a minor accident! New stillen bumper and threw some AAM short tails on it :)

Installed 370zsource carbon fiber fangs; don't be like me and remember to clean the back w/ alcohol before applying 3m tape... doh!

Thought about how pretty she looked when she was clean.

She won't be getting a bath soon, as it's still supposed to be windy and dusty. :(

Hope you don't have another Haboob coming...One Haboob is enough ...:tiphat::icon18:

:icon17: :iagree:

Or I should say, there is only room for one Haboob, and that is you...:tiphat:


The other Haboob ? No thanks.

Only drove the Z on monday since its been raining all week.

Normally I would have driven her but I didn't want to dirty her after getting her so clean lol.

Going to work on fixing me CF side blade on the passenger side...2 weeks after installing it, already kinda cracked it on a speed bump in my parking...hate speed bumps :(

Drove her in the rain
