I'll start this thread off with this:

Finally washed my Z after 5 months and 27 days! :eek:

Added some oil. She was getting low :P

I was going to make a thread other day telling members to check oil level every 4 weeks especially in summer time when we drive in 100 degrees plus weather with a/c on full throttle redlining the crap outta our engines!

I wouldn't know about that anymore. I know about heated garages now :icon17:

In fact, haven't turned on cold air in 8 months.

She's getting detailed sunday.

The *OFFICIAL* 370z.com mascot and I do a lot of driving together. Gotta get the hair cleaned out ... and I'm really lazy, so I'll pay someone else to do it.

Sometime over this past week, someone tried to steal the rear Nissan badge of mine... Never heard/saw anything. :ugh2:

http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1345266785

Didn't scratch the emblem, I'll strip off and re-do the Plasti-dip so no biggie, just left some bad gouges in the plastic surrounding the badge.

I was lucky, a neighbor across the street had their car hit as well (probably same people/night) of of the rear of their Honda Accord.



Some people. :shakes head:

Where the hell do you live? The south pole?

I'm sorry to see that Chris :(

But on a good note

The Plasti-Dip is Chris friendly :icon17:

Guessing it was just stupid kids. Sucks man, every time I see Zs getting damaged, it's like, "can't we have nice **** anymore without someone ******* it up"

Exactly, I'm a penguinologist.

I hate you guys. :bowrofl: :roflpuke2:


:iagree: :shakes head: Let's just kill off the most recent 2 generations, and start over.

put some new shoes on the rears today and all i have to say is oh my god there is a hell of alotta grip in these new tires when they're warmed up

I am driving her down to Santa Clara for the day fir a bit of wirk on a Saturday.

Gotta work today (thus I'm on the forum :tup:) but tomorrow I'm going to reinstall the window seal on my driver's door. I tried three times to have the tint shop get the tint layed down deep enough but after a week the tint would grab and start to rip off in the forward corner. Found that the culprit is some rubber about 2 inches down in that makes life hell getting the tint correct.

Hmmm, maybe it's a dumb write-up but I'll take some pics and do a mini write-up on how to prep your doors for tint.

^try rounding that edge lower into the door. thats what formula one did with mine and i've never had a peeling issue and the rounded edge isn't visible

Gonna take her for a drive later and get the last of the break-in miles out of the way!

:hello: AK et al

I just finished wash and interior detail. Heading out to a cruise with some fellow forums members. :tup:

I was cruising along Rt6 heading into Providence when my radar detector started giving little beeps where it had never given them before.

A guy from New Jersey in an SUV flew past me... I waited and the signals became stronger and as he rounded the bend his breaks lights went on..then I say the same gendarme of the law in his cruiser as he did. The cop car lights went on and the guy pulled to the side not even waiting to be chased..

I felt like giving a bit of a toot as I went by but instead I just laughed to myself.. I know I shouldn't laugh.. but i did..

Ordered new set of white LEDs for the license plate, the set I got last month has couple of them burnt already :shakes head:

The seller has sent me a replacement, no charge, good service :tup:

But I still order another set, different kind, just to be safe, only $10, what the heck :happydance:

What was the different set? From VLED perhaps?

Finally got around to Plasti-Dip my side markers :ugh2:

If I could go back in time I would invest in Apple and Plasti-dip:tup:

Side note, was doing some spirited driving on the way home and was getting a stong odor of raw fuel....gonna have to look into that tomorrow.

Changed the oil and installed the ZSpeed under shroud today. Taking the Z out for a spin in a little bit.

The main difference between the two are the type of the connections, the first one I got, which is the white one in the picture, only use the tiny-thin wire, it does not have enough surface area to completely "touch" the socket.

The new one I just ordered, have solder on the whole area... it will give a much more stable connection between the bulb and the socket.

Looking forward to receive the new one and will write up a quick review after install...

Do you have pics of the undershield?

I just have this one pic. I forgot to take one with it installed. This is the side that faces upwards.

Nice. I am thinking about one of those.

I plasti-dipped the whole interior today. Seats, steering wheel, radio and all.
I'm going to use plasti-dip instead of condoms from now on!!! :happydance:

Gangsta!



jk:rofl2:

It's pretty nice. Especially compared to the cheesy OEM plastic one.

Me too.

:iagree:

Got gas !!!!http://www.the370z.com/members/nut_n...7-img-0246.jpg

Got rained on, that's all for today!!! No plastidip here:roflpuke2:!!!!

:iagree: Me too

So does it actually have performace benefits. Additional downforce? better cooling?

love the color very clean car.. and crazy about the plate.

took it out for a nice little run had a xhit eating grin on my face all day.
oh and dropped some change between the drivers seat and console and wondered how in the heck everyone else gets run away crap out of there.

Here you go dude! Your welcome!:tup:

ZSpeed claims that it has better cooling. It does have more venting so that's probably true. It also has a small removable section for doing oil changes so that all 16 screws don't have to be removed every time you need to get to the oil filter and drain plug. That's not a performance benefit but I like the convenience benefit.

picked up some red line gear oil today to switch out the factory rear differential oil and went to dealer to see how much it would be for them to switch the oil...needless to say i turned around and walked out while chuckling to myself for the price they quoted me....$75 for a friggin half hour job tops and i got questioned multiple times as to why i wanted to change the differential oil lol

What dealer did you go to?

fontana nissan, which suprised me since they are usually good with forum members

That is surprising. That's who I was going to mention. If you find a better place let me know.
