What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

SurfDog

I tried PSS a/s on the Z. Still a toboggan. I think I'd stick with regular braking till spring!!!!

Got on to the freeway today on my way to a Shell gas station with 1/4 tank of gas...on ramp was a right-hander...spent an hour on the side of the freeway waiting for my girlfriend to rescue me with a gas tank...#fuelstarve (I don't have Twitter or even a smartphone. I just wanted to hashtag something)

Your post has me looking seriously at this.
370z Road Race Fuel Pump

Getting great race tested results on another thread.
Fuel Starvation Control Product

I wish the Z did not come built with these problems:
-Steering lock (free!!!!!! Yay!)
-loud road drone ($1,200 wheels $200 Dynamat)
-Terrible clutch...huge flywheel/weak clutch/poor CSC ($1,800 JWT clutch/CSC/flywheel)
-Right turn fuel starvation. ($1,000 in tank Fuel controller)
-High oil temps and "limp mode" ($500 oil cooler)
-mostly non functioning VLSD ($1,500 LSD)

Aside from that, a bit of Plastidip and we are all good. ($6,500 bucks poorer, but all good)

let me know if I missed anything, I do not want to have to call a $200 tow truck just for not installing another simple $1,500 mod

Just to be clear, I really, really, REALLY love my Z! (A bit beat up though she may be...)

Z got a wash, clay, and wax this afternoon. I even attacked some scratches by hand after the clay bar - they didn't come out completely but definitely look better. I think I can get them out completely with proper materials. I only used a polishing pad and Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, so I will use a compound pad and the rubbing compound first next time before following up with the polishing compound using a polishing pad (maybe borrow a friend's random orbital, too).

Threw my back out mid tint of my tail lights. Had to drive my wifes automatic, meaning she drove the Z. Tank was on empty and she filled it up...with regular unleaded. Love her to death, but my heart sank when she told me that. No knocks or pings yet. Have to baby it till I can dump that fuel. I'm still crying. ;(

My daughter refers to my seat warmers as bun toasters. We keep them on a lot in the winter. I think they are cozy!

Whenever I burn the clutch out of my car (and it will happen sooner rather than later), I'm going to find a good racing clutch/flywheel.

I think the funniest thing about me buying a nismo car is that everything that made it a nismo is now gone aside from the body kit and the sways.

I'm thinking about some sways.

Look at the JWT clutch and flywheel. I've been to a few race shops, and every mechanic I talk to loves them.

Also do your master and clutch slave cylinder when you upgrade. The stockers are weak and prone to failure!

Bought some SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts today... also a set of NST pulleys...

I also visited a shop and they gave me a tour, nice shop, I'm going to have them install my new Quaife LSD and give her an alignment.
