I've considers a fog light and wheel myself. Where Sid you get your light and what kind of wheel are you going with?

370zmarc · 09-24-2012, 11:38 AM

I bought the fog light at my dealership and wired it myself. I really like the carbon fiber element steering wheels.

Trying to fix small fuel leak. No luck. Have one idea that should work. This has nothing to do with the fuel starvation fix I installed. In case some were wondering. I can't get the O ring to seal on the stock pump side after tightening down.

The fog is like rain this AM and now I am glad I did not wash it this weekend.

Just bought gas and averaged 11.8 MPG so I must have been having fun lately.

Lots of fun until seeing the pump.....

Installed SPC rear camber arms and aligned the car! Did not need the toe bolts, was happy about that, needed them for the 350, but glad I didnt have to break out the dremmel.

I got an oil change...noticed they put 10w-30 in it...anything i should be worried about? Seems weird since were entering winter months..

Joepro · 09-24-2012, 07:18 PM

I ran 10w-30 in the 350z..didnt burn nearly as much oil. Might let the engine warm up a minute or 2 before driving(good practice anyway).

Time to save some money, hassles, and time and start doing it yourself.

I find its cheaper and way faster to just get a small oil change setup and do the changes myself. The wife thinks I'm crazy of course (until I do hers for her as well), but I put in better oil and use filter magnets and stuff. The big thing is that by the time I could get down to jiffy lube or the dealer, I can have done my own about 3 times. (I buy oil in bulk when it goes on sale to save additional money and time).

Just an idea

That royal purple stuff and K/N filters seem to review well around here.

That sounds like a good idea, i was thinking id start changing it myself also. I feel like i can't trust anyone with the Z

SurfDog · 09-24-2012, 07:56 PM

I used WAZE app for iPhone on my commute home. If you don't know what that is, do yourself a favor and try it. Best driving app ever.

I would bet that 90% of you will be super happy if you give it a try.

I actually cluttered up my dash with a phone mount JUST for this app. (Typically I don't like junk in my field of view...)

Something like 10,000 reviews in the App Store and it gets an average of 5 stars. That is amazingly high.

Just sayin'.

I pulled the Z out of the garage to enjoy some responsible VDC off driving in the cooler weather.

Oh, and I filled up the tank. Good thing I had a quarter of a tank left before I filled up
