hmm. That sounds personal.

Maybe turning the two oak trees into firewood had something to do with it.

oil change. finally got my hands on the new pennzoil ultra plat 10w-30. 10w30 because it has a super low NOACK value, and slightly thicker 30 weight at 100C. should be better on the track, and it never gets cold in california anyway.

also got a JDM order in last week. 5 sets of ARC cool fins! attached 2.5 of them to the oil pan. they really do seem to work as they were insanely hot to the touch after applying them to the hot oil pan.

:tiphat:

Drove Harry to work. Taking a chance on the 30% chance for rain.

Guess what?!

:icon17:


Yepp. It rained on me. And more importantly: it rained on Harry!!! :icon14:


Oh well. Lots of you guys drive your Zs as a dd so I guess a bit of rain and road muck won't hurt Harry either :tiphat:

that happened to me after I washed my car:eek:

:tiphat:

He'll be fine :tup: It's raining here today, as well. Good thing the Z is already dirty :icon14:

Cars were meant to be driven, even in the elements.

My poor Z needs a bath something awful.

my car melts in the rain.. :ugh:


i douced my a-pillar in nero the other day in hopes that the scratches that the smogcheck guy made last year would appear less visible. :ugh:

i think it actually worked. :tup: i can only see the scratches from one angle which most
people (like me and maybe my kid) wont even bother to look at from. like who the hell looks at the bottom of the
rockers and complain the car is dirty? :icon17: :ugh2:

I don't believe your car is the wicked witch of the west :icon17:

I don't look at them because I know they are typically the dirtiest part of the car. Plus it takes a lot of effort. But I clean them every time I wash :tup:

:icon18:

yah, i clean the bottoms of the rockers once a season. :icon17: like before winter storage.

Where did you buy these. Might be interesting to try. RHDJapan is the first hit on google at 2138 Yen. Just wondering.

New Arc Cool Fin Universal | eBay


wat a ripoff...

I wonder how much it would cost to fix the fitment.

i got them from RHDJapan as well. came out to less than 100bucks for 5 sets i believe. shipping was quick too. received them in under a week straight from japan

I think I'll give it a shot, see what happens.

Went a bit over the 900 miles mark today on break in...less than 300 to go!!! I predict that on Saturday after next, I will be driving a bit more .... um, spirited!!

Swapped in some Maxbore throttle bodies.

Car looks :yum:

new cr2032's.

i swear, i go through a battery every year or sooner. range on the clicker diminishes SO fast

found a new fav parking spot at work today. newly built parking garage. look at all those cameras ;)

yah, they do drain the battery significantly faster than my G's fob. on that car the lithium lasted like 9yrs. lol

nice spot, chops! :tup:

What happened? Was the car lifted incorrectly that caused the rockers to pop out?

Few bucks for some VHT tape or something to hold it in place? Not sure if the thickness of the tape would cause it to not be flush.

Too much money to put in to narrow that big of a gap. How about using U channel or U mold trim. They make white ones for boats. Just an idea. For the fenders, try foam sheet to shim it outward when you screw them back in.

Nope, this is how they look fully installed. Granted the double sided 3m tape may not have been enough or thick enough on the top. But even when it's pushed into place, you can feel it trying to stretch from the rear part and it can't because it's FRP.

I'm going to try a thicker tape next week. I also don't know if the passenger side was damaged when taken off by the previous owner.

Good morning everyone!

Sad because I'm currently in the process of trying to sell my Z...

Happy because it's replaced by a GT-R:driving:

Careful ... careful now .... there is some boost going on there! In many ... many aspects!

I would be like ... :eekdance:

Have fun!

im so glad you didnt say to use bathtub caulk aka homedepot mod.. :ugh:

:icon17:

noone cares, nick.

bye :hello:




:icon17: haha, just kidding. :p

:tiphat: Those U channels I suggested are discrete (white) and work great to clear gaps. They are used on boats so it is perfect for door jambs. It is rare for FRP Skirts to have perfect, OEM quality fit so creativity goes a long way. Yes not too creative to the point caulking is used - that's just weird. No carpenters allowed in the body shop.

I parked at a different building today for work, 9 out of ten people walking by my Z now are suffering with chronic neck problems. Today also marks the first day driving my precious Z in four days due to horrible rain and thunder storms.

Installed Z1 post-maf tubes and AFE filters. Is it just me or were those a paint in the arse to wedge into place?

Worth it though!

i removed the strut bar to install my hps tubes. went on fine with slight trimming for a prefect fit.
