Oops... Wrong what did you do thread!
Cold meds are kicking my ash.

HFC installed .... Check
Steering lock fuse pulled.....check

How do you like the Nismo exhaust sound with HFCs? I bet it's nice and clean!

Have a case of axle click. I'll be tackling that later today.

Met with local 370z buddies. Checked out Meg_Black's Fast Intentions carbon fiber exhaust. Sound sweet!:tup:

Re-torqued both axle nuts and the click is gone! Thank goodness!

I went to a photoshoot in Ocotillo CA today and on my way home i did a canyon run(it was on the way home XD) with a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S and beat him(I mainly stayed in front of his through the canyon run and i eventually lost him) and when he caught up we gave each other a thumbs up and he drove off(my car was in limp mode XD)

How do they differ and what part of the exhaust did you swap, the y - pipe?

Took it and the love of my life shopping for the last time in my life as an unmarried man. I wish I could take the Z to Saint Lucia with me. Gonna be there for a week without it.

Drove Z to work :tup:

2 weeks and counting down till my Z arrives :D

Washed the Z this morning and drove her to dinner. Walked out to find her covered in bird crap. Here's a shot of the roof. The hood and hatch had even more. I was pissed....and spent the last 45mins washing her again. Man are the mosquitos out in full force and to hell with those birds....but the Z is clean...again...

i wanted to install my AOS but as i started to i knew i had to move the windshield washer fluid bottle. so i cut the wires to the plug and added length. then i hid them and the hose running the fluid to the spray nozzles through the rubber grommet into the cab. then i ran them to the trunk following wires that were already there so they are all hidden and out of sight. i still need to find a small little square plastic white bottle i can mount because the OEM one is to odd shaped. i'll just drill and tap the bottle and put a fitting on it to match the OEM pump with a hose. its like a 1/2 ID hose i'll need.

now i can install the AOS. i mounted it out of the engine bay since i believe most of what people catch in their catch cans is water! it looks like its all oil but its not. going from ambient temp to 200* back to ambient over and over causes a lot of condensation in a hollow big metal can. out of the engine bay the only temp swings will be a couple of degrees. this might also help with power since the manifold sucks hot dirty oil vapor into the engine from the PCV's. having the hot air go out of the engine where the outside air will hit it and cool the AOS down, the air returning to the manifold will be much cooler.

FYI, the reason i call it an AOS is because its not just a catch can. there is internal baffling that separates the oil from the air. at the bottom of the AOS is a hose with a plug that you just pull when you do an oil change and everything in the AOS will come on out. if need be you can also just pull the AOS off and break it apart to clean it real good.

finally got my car back from the shop from the busted back window

:tup:

Haha, found it

took it drifting for the first time Saturday :D

So... this isn't the right forum or thread for this but I have to say something.

Kudos to you on trying to do things differently and in a way you think might be better, but... This setup is a whole lot more likely to result in condensing water inside the can than a traditionally-mounted catch can setup. We could discuss why in another thread or PMs if you wanted.

:)

I have an vehicle inspection with RR Nissan tomorrow morning in preparation for the Nismo Performance Academy this weekend. This means I have to do my front rotors, pads and fluid change this evening (luckily I have access to a Motive Power Bleeder).

My only question is whether there is an appropriate order to do these three tasks. I'm leaning towards replacing the pads and doing the fluid flush while the old rotors are still installed. Then I'll replace the rotors and check everything before bedding the brakes. But if someone has any insight if there is a better way, please respond or PM me.

:tup: GL!! and I hope you guys have an EPIC time!!!!
(of course since you and Gurney are going (and Pint of course) it is SURE to be FUN!!, just thank gawd Gale won't be there! ;) )

this makes me sad :(


:icon17: I'm sure we'll have a fantastic time :tup: Thanks! :tiphat:

:icon18: LOL! oh man....it would end up in jail time or something so be HAPPY!! LOL

Of course that is what makes great stories too! :bowrofl:

I think we're more likely to end up in my bedroom :yum:

:tup: EXACTLY what I mean!!
EPIC!!!

This evening I changed out the stock brake fluid for ATE SuperBlue, replaced the front rotors with EBC USR slotted rotors and the front pads with Hawk Performance Ceramic pads :tup:

I washed my R2C filters as well, but I'm going to let them continue to dry overnight just to be sure they are completely dry. After I re-install them tomorrow morning, I will do the brake bedding process before heading to RR Nissan for a basic vehicle inspection in anticipation of the Nismo Performance Academy this weekend at COTA :driving:

I went for a really nice cruise tonight. I am blessed with a lot of back country roads that are twisty. I ended up in Grand Haven Michigan to watch the sunset over the boardwalk. I don't think I could have wished for a better day. 76 degrees, partly cloudy, waves were crashing and it was so relaxing chilling on the pier.

The Ate is great stuff. I use it as well (in many vehicles).

Thank god I used to work at a dealer. Rbf600 $10 a bottle :ughdance:

Wow, ATE SuperBlue is outlawed in FL? What? How stupid is that?
I guess somebody didn't get their payola so no approval.

I went on my first Z cruise and watched three guys take on a challenge to eat the "worlds hottest pizza." One had a nose bleed and the other two.... Well I'll see if they ended up in the hospital tomorrow.

Just pasted a milestone in my car.

6666 miles going 60 in 6th gear...

Should have been at 6k RPM.

Yeah. Figure that out, then make it happen.

This was mine at some point last week:

:ughdance: Pick up my red gtr push button along with the clear gtr map light covers later today after work via the local nissan dealer. 36 bucks for the button and 13.99 for each side clear map light covers. No shipping cost!!
