Replaced OEM shift knob with gunmetal JDM round ball shift knob. Might need a sleeve

I left the expensive ones on my Amazon wish list, so if someone gets them for me, I will definitely compare the differences and probably swap them regardless of the results so I have another thing to put it in my signature

Car arrived from California... and I was not there to drive it off the truck or tuck it in my garage. (got called in to fly around the country for 3 days)

Sooo... (because my wife is scared to drive it

), the Z will sit out in my driveway until Wednesday. Grrrrrr!

The delivery guy drove it a few miles from the truck to my house... didn't notice or at least mention that it was in "Valet mode" (uprev). He told my wife how powerful the Z was... IN VALET MODE!!! lol

Went from being stock this morning to having ART pipes, Shockwave CBE, G3's by nightfall. Now to schedule a tune for next week. The car definitely came alive today.

Still waiting for my foam gun.
Tracking says it was delivered 2-1.
I didn't receive it.
Seems the local post office "misplaced it".
They're trying to find it.

And they wonder why no one uses them anymore.

Just dropped off JARblue's birthday gift and traded him some GT Mat Onyx for an interior LED swap and coolant top off.

I did my LED install when I got home. I put some comparison pics in an album here

Ms. Pintsize then stopped by with a sample of 80mm GT Mat and couple of squares of their new high quality butyl product

Per her advice, the butyl will go around the speakers in the doors. The 80mm I plan to use around the rear wheels and as much of the hatch as possible. I still have the sample of 50mm as well, which I am considering doing on the roof because I will probably be doing a warranty claim on my headliner - there are two sagging areas where it meets the front windshield directly in front of the driver and passenger seats

She said something about her coolant as soon as she pulled up, so I checked it and showed her how to check it

It was below the MIN line, so we added a little bit of OEM Nissan Blue coolant as I just happen to have a 99.5% full jug of the stuff

With all my recent coolant research and experience, I know the reservoir will generally read higher when the car is hot than when it is cold, so it was concerning that her coolant read below MIN with her car fully warmed. She is going to take it to get looked at as soon as she has a chance, but the dealer that was supposed to have originally fixed her coolant leak is very suspect

I also gave her three of my extra LEDs and replaced her stock interior bulbs with them

Foam gun and extreme foam (actually it's pretty cool)

and

Mr. Clean car wash system also with a filter refill, which last 3-5 times longer washing the Z compared to my Explorer

Yeah those are lots of scratches - I've had the thing for going on 10 years now I think

Lol! Miscommunication galore. I was referring to the USPS in the first post you quoted.

But now I totally want a foam gun!
