My buddy says he thinks he can buff it out. The part on the A-pillar is just a scuff, not into the paint (from what I can feel/see), so I may be lucky.

Just gotta schedule a session this weekend for him to swing by.

That is good to hear

I tested crc maf cleaner on painted nissan surface.

Did not damaged the paint. Means can be used for tar removal.

Cheaper and readily available vs RC car motorspray.

Try at your own risk.

Today, the Z and I came to work. We had gone on a 10 day Motorcycle trip, and the Z sat, covered in the garage under her 40th ann. cover, begging to get out and drive. Looks like I am going to have to order new head lights. I got a ticket for "tinted lights" and need to get that singed off, Any options?

Are your headlights painted or tinted?

kenchan · 09-10-2014, 10:56 AM

Is the lens tinted with paint? Use thinner and remove.

Great news! I never had one that I could postpone. I sure envy you!

I guess if you know what your doing this would be a simple job but knocking out that differential bushing was a total PITA. Took drilling, cutting with a hacksaw blade and using a tool to finally push the bushing out for that. The part with cutting the outer shell with a sawzall did only take a few minutes. Now I can finally start putting stuff back together. That was this morning's job before work...

BarracoBarmer · 09-10-2014, 05:47 PM

I paid $565 for my 370z registration today

FairladyZ10PG · 09-10-2014, 05:53 PM

^congrats!!!

on your new purchase of course lol, not $565 registration fee...

Aescen · 09-10-2014, 08:15 PM

My baby went to the tint shop today. 20% on everything but the hatch, which is 15%.

Also, if you're looking closely you'll see the Z logo embedded in the tint. My tint guy got a little creative and wanted to try it. I gave him the go ahead. What do you guys think? He said if I didn't like it he'd take it off and retint it for me. I think it's pretty neat, but I'm waiting for it to cure until I make up my mind.
