I love reading your updates.

Oil change of champions from Z1 Motorsport. Man there are about 30 bolts and fasteners to remove the undertray what a pita! But in the end it was well worth it! Motul 8100 Eco-nergy 5W-30 and a Nismo Oil Filter from Verspeed.

I did this today:

I observed this today :)

Dropped 20 pounds with a new battery.

Took it for a flogging down Grouse Creek Road in the southern Flint Hills...then home for a detailing before going out tonight.

Absolutely PERFECT day so far.

I also dropped about 40 pounds from the rear by removing the tools and spare. I wanted to keep the Bose woofer so I found a spacer that would take up the slack in the screw mount so it fits with no movement.

Ordered up a South Bend stage 3 clutch and all the goodies to go with it.

I got flipped off by two blond joggers as I whizzed by them at 75 on a twisty 2 lane country road in my Nismo. I missed them by at leat three feet so I dont know why they flipped me the bird. After all, jogging on a road with NO shoulder is such a great idea i suppose. Stupid skanks.

Lol, you don't know why they flipped you off, I think you answered your own question. :bowrofl:

Insanely perfect fall/autumn weather here right now. Nice tour of the Schwabisch Alb today up to see a couple nearby castles taking some great climbing and descending mountain/hill roads. Nice high speed run down the A-8 to follow.

Up to 210kph/130mph for a few mins then a nice steady 170kph/105mph cruise for the last 10 kilometers to the exit home. Just does not get any better in a Z here in Germany. I will miss these days during the winter! :driving:

:iagree:

:tup: :driving: :happydance:

:shakes head: no place in my area of the country to do that....:ugh2:

:tup:Glad you are enjoying your Z! <3 mine too-even if i cant drive it at 130mph!

jealousy is an understatement. :tup:

That sounds awesome!

Im lucky and I know it. I share this because we are smart enough to know how great this car is whether its cruizing at 70 or 50mph or letting it really use its legs and power. This car is so under rated it makes me smile. No doubt one could spend more and get much much less!! :driving:

Driving our Z's is allllllllllllllllllllllll good! Thats all that matters, and this very good community here to share it with! :) :tiphat:

springs and hankooks coming soon. :tup:

clutch helper spring installed!
dont realy feel the day n night differece everyone is talking about tho

I hear you. I ended up removing the helper spring and reinstalled the stock one.

Didn't like the added play at the top or just didn't really think it made much of a difference in feel?


Tapatalk & such etc

Oh boy -- inpromptu tire plug patch today. I caught a nail.

Nail in the PSS?

I liked the feel of the stock spring better. We'll see what I think after AMS changes out my clutch this week.

Yes. I was sweeping out under my garage shelving yesterday and vacuuming up the debris. I was going to sweep the whole floor and became distracted by company (mom, son and wife, baby, etc.) and just pulled the Z back in last night. This morning she was leaning. I had a little nail right between the treads. Colin and I plug patched it and I am taking over to his shop tomorrow for a proper patch.

There you go.

I just died a little inside.

:icon18:

You made me and the Mrs. laugh out loud.

Thanks, brother. Keep in mind that patches, done right, last forever.

Clutch helper spring... the shock-like spring attach on the clutch pedal??

I remove the stock one, that's it... feels a bit heavier but the clutch point is much obvious :tup:

Egads! Not in the beloved and awesomely revered PSS's?! :eek:
:ugh2: :shakes head: :facepalm: danged company anyway...:shakes head: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: alls well that ends well....:tup: to being self-sufficient!:tup:
:p :tup: Love you Gale! You are ate up w PSS!:bowrofl:

Bird Diapers.............

:tiphat:

Yeah, I knew everything would be A-Okay when you said Colin was going to look after it. :tup:

Tightneded up my rear end link (on the left side), was a bit loose, had a 'clunk' noise on uneven surfaces and when turning slow (easier to hear then).

Going to take the car to Seb (who's awesome enough to give me a hint on what the noise was about, sure enough it is now gone) on Tuesday to have the bolts checked for proper torque.

FINALLY installed my steering lock bypass kit
 

Thank you CARKIT! :) Easy install! Peace of mind for that issue is obtained!

Im sorry I waited so long to do it. I had Rev E. This morning my frau told me while she was at the gas station in our Z, a gent pulled up and explained, his 2009 Z suffered the dreaded failure just this morning!!

A careful and polite reminder issued to me to install the kit Ive had for a couple months! Done! If you have one dont procrastinate like me :) :happydance:

As Arnold said " do it, do it now" :)

drove her to work, gonna have to clean her later. :tup:

Magnetic drain bolt came in the mail. Oil change, here I come! :tup:

Also, just picked up some copper washers and an in-cabin air filter from a nearby dealership (I really love the dark blue color available on the 2013 370Z, but man those rims are fugly IMO :shakes head: - I think 2009-2012 base OEM wheels looks better and the 2009-2012 sports pkg rims are absolutely beautiful in comparison)

I was jsut thinking about doing this to my car. Where did you buy the drain plug?

You can get them all over the place. I got mine from here. It was about $20 w/ shipping, but I got it mainly for the color (I wanted black or grey - not red :icon17:)

Just make sure you get the correct size: M12 x 1.25

what's wrong with red? lol you can't even see the plug because of the undershield.
