goin to move the z to restore my toolbox back to working condition. When I moved back in Nov, it fell on its back during its transport. Boxing up my spare set of tools to donate to father in law since I could not sell. Maybe a carwash if im not too tired.

JARblue 06-21-2014 12:00 PM

Washed the filthy Z today. It was so dirty I didn't even want to use the new wash mitt I purchased :ugh:

Ran out of clay, so I will be picking up some more after a short stint at the office this afternoon. I hope to finish up a full exterior detail this weekend :tup:

JARblue 06-21-2014 04:09 PM

Clay, two step hand polish, and wax sealant done on the hood. I will spot polish a few other areas before I wax the entire car tomorrow.

Stocked on some Chemical Guys goodies at their tent sale!

I also got a new microfiber wash cloth for my wheels!

I missed this!
 
I wish I could have made it. Your 350 looks great Wais! As proven by your chemical purchases.

Did you see if their Lava was on sale?

Took the Z for a cruise to golf at one of the most challenging and beautiful golf courses in the world, Koolau Golf Club. A small part of the beautiful Koolau mountain range is in the background.

Well, It was a PIA, But I finally removed my worn coilovers, And went back to stock shocks and eibach springs.

I can't emphasize this enough, But when you're doing these types of jobs?

Please make sure you have the right FUKIN tools.

I found out the hard way and almost hung my kid by his little nuts for using my tools /sockets and not putting them back. :mad:

Fountainhead 06-21-2014 11:12 PM

Well today I drove from Orlando to Davenport by way of that parking lot they call I4.....crawling most of the way there....
Then, on the way back we stopped by that mega outlet mall in Orlando....yeah the one with right hand yield turn right out of the frontage road....took at least 50 shifts from Neutral to 1st and about 35 min to get out of that place. I told my wife "this is the LAST time I'm going here"...she understood. What a mess. But the car was great at least!

PS: Tracie, there are NO roads here that aren't full...no canyon twisties, just FL crackers and old people driving bumper to bumper.

mab864 06-21-2014 11:25 PM

Finished the install of the GTMat in the rear trunk this morning. I used 27 12"x12" squares all together. Did the whole trunk, the area in front of the shock towers, and doubled up on the wheel wells. Wow... what a difference. Great mod for sure! Got enough left over to do both doors but I'll wait till next weekend for that.

Sounds exclusive. Maybe everyone with PSS's should get tattoos as well.

Gave the beauty a bath inside and out, swapped out air to nitrogen in her shoes courtesy of COSTCO, thank you, and put on my 370.com decals. Hoping I am now in the club. :tup:

Honestly I'll probably stay with this setup for now.

I may move up to full coilovers with a firmer ride later on.

You're going way too slow for a road like that :icon17:

Brad Edwards 06-23-2014 10:00 AM

How good/cool/blurry would Jaedub's picture be if the speedodometer was pointing to 120 - 130 instead of Zero miles per hour.

Brad Edwards 06-23-2014 10:11 AM

Here is So. Cal. - S.D. to be more map friendly, There is aa nice twisty road called Highland Valley Road. After a morning wash, First the Z, then Me... a fill up, I was all Z'd up and ready to go. Grabbed my wife and off we went. Up the hill, First gear, then Second, then Third, down shift again into second, a hard right, then a left, and left again, 13 + miles of 2nd, 3rd, and only sometimes 4th gears. Put the Z throught its paces, and we both loved it. Had a good burger in Romona, which is at the top of the grade, then back down the hill for 13 more miles of the same on the way to home.

You know, that Nissan 370Z likes to corner and corners very well. What did you guys do?

I loved highland valley rd, i drove it quite frequent when i was in SD. I also lived going up and down palomar mt, and continue to julian from romona. I miss it:shakes head:

Brad Edwards 06-23-2014 12:26 PM

There are some good back county roads east of San Diego that are just filled with twists and turns, like Wild Cat Canyon or Bear Valley and Highland Valley. I now get to drive them in the Z and the Harley - still deciding which is more fun.
