If it is not snowing.... just drive the heck out of it!!!

You are not running slick... why worry??

:iagree: :tup:

Thought about bringing the Z to Colorado today(where I spend more time) then drove the begeebees out of her around Marin (bay area) and decided to leave her there until spring...

FJ Cruizer for the Colorado snow, Z for the PCH... at least until March or so.

p.s. don't let Forza Horizon fool you. Colorado is FULL of speed traps. It would be more like need for speed if you drove around fast, and when the cops catch you there's no hitting "reset"!

I drove my Z after 11 days of being in Europe for my first time (Germany, Paris, London). Glad I remembered how to drive!

By the way. Over Jeremy's total objection, Richard put the 370 on the very very top right of the sub zero section of the cool board. (Jeremy wanted it "totally uncool"). Just goes to show. People love them or hate them. (And, apparently, the guys that drive them too)

I'm beginning to think Jeremy is a putz lol. (I do love his show though.)

Here is a thing I did.
(Well ok I didn't do it, I had it done)

Nice man, that looks fantastic :tup:

RE: I'm beginning to think Jeremy is a putz lol. (I do love his show though.)

I too love the show, but he and I would come to blows if I was treated like the other two. Imagine throwing a 300ZX T top off a cliff you were driving in the snow.

I do not feel any difference with my redline transmission change.

Those wheels look great!!!!!! I want them

Yeah I would not appreciate him.treating me like that either. but it makes for good TV I guess.

regarding the tranny oil, as long as it doesn't get worse like the 350z guys claim it does.

Lazer crystal powder, red/white hardened enamel on the NISMO inlays, satin finish clear coat. They're really black but shine silver-ish in direct sunlight due to the metallic flake. They look better in person.

Work done by Figure Finishing in Reston.

I bought my z with 30k miles and slightly scrubbed up rims. I'd like to refurbish but have no idea where to start. Anybody have ideas how to start. (Low cost options preferred.).

I had a Boxter S checking out my car today. You could see on his face " What the hell is it?"

Mobile Rim Repair...if you were in SoCal I'd send you straight to Son Tran. He's a legend and after an hour and $150 later, my two curbed Nismo rims were good as new! Sorry I don't know anyone on Colorado!

:iagree:

Really? Hmm, perhaps you're not driving it hard enough? :p :bowrofl:

Our Z has numerous rock chips on the rims from all the highway driving in its youth plus a couple of curb rashes from when my wife DD it. I'm am similarly interested in a lower cost option to refurbish them. I understand Plasti Dip is a very cheap change that also protects the original finish. It'll cover up any existing marks, but they'll be there waiting if you ever decide to peel it off. If I ever get the OEM rims refurbished, Plasti Dip is something I will definitely consider as a temporary change but also as a way to protect the wheels longer.

Sadly this is true, I am not. Traffic has not allowed much lately.

Sounds like we need to have a plastidip party Saturday at your place. I'm eager to try to the blaze blue!!

Fit a rather large (28"?) archery bag in the front seat. No problem!

That's a hell of a blind spot.

Z is still in the garage for 5 days now with no power at the house due to the Hurricane. :(

Got 80mil GTMat installed on my doors. Pic shows half done install. Will be testing it on the ride home.

:eek:

I hope everything will be back to normal ASAP for you bro...!! :tiphat:

:tup: looks like mini hurricanes doesnt it?!:tup:

Follow up: Guy who installed the mat must have fuvked with my wiring. Window keeps going down when I open and close the door. Window won't roll up unless the I open and close door.

:confused:Reset scenario maybe? :confused:

:iagree: Try the window reset process.

That's good on so many levels..

Got my oil changed yesterday afternoon. While I was waiting I walked around back to peek in the service department and they were servicing a 2013 GT-R they have sitting on the showroom floor. Made me want to trade in my Z but I did not want triple the payment! It was stickered at $98k (non black edition).

So yesterday, I complained of too much traffic. On my drive home I had all the cars ahead of me pull off. After nearly 2 miles of unobstructed turns, the weather changed from dry and sunny to wet with fog. I had the VDC off so I was extra aware. Still it lit up the traction control light without consequence. Another mile and a half of twisty's, I met my first car who was still doing 70 in a 40 MPH zone. I got past him and all the way home was faster than usual. Yee Haw!

I love these Michelins in the wet.

:tup:

Today started well. I zipped along without anybody in front of me. When I finally saw a car up ahead and I thought "let's catch up". just as I wound out second and put it in third I thought I saw movement in the sunlight and shade. Sure enough, a 4 point buck scrambled over a guard rail and into the road just to test my brakes or be killed.

Holy Toledo, my brakes grabbed and I heard my tires as I rapidly approached the buck. I do not know what exactly happened to my wrist but I hurt it somehow grabbing the wheel hard (?) as my other hand came back from the shift. I veered into the on coming lane a little and then back into my own (straight line braking). I missed the deer by two feet in the end so no big deal. My wrist ached for ten minutes then stopped.

I caught the car ahead a few seconds later and they too pulled off, to give me a clear drive the rest of my way.

What a day. The excitement never stops when you drive a Z.

Wow!!!! :tup: Z is amazing! :tup:

Let my coworker drive my Z when we went out to lunch together.

He was asking about the paddle shifters (I have AT) and then all of a sudden he pulls it a couple of times, drops the tranny down a couple of gears and redlines the car :eekdance:

I was like "Whoa dude, slow down -- I just passed 1000 miles on the car and was holding out a few more days to get to 1200 miles to make sure the engine was broken in"

Def. one of the reasons I prefer to live in the desert, and city... nothing like that will run out in front of you! Must have been exciting, in a scary kind of way!

:eek: :icon14: are you still friends?!:confused: :p

:facepalm:
