What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)
 
Drove it to the shop to do some boring non-Z stuff.

I thought the same thing, but then I noticed there is text, hence the picture is indented. He said he drove it to the shop to do non-Z stuff. So it is a qualifying post ... but I do think those non-Z pictures should be in a SPOILER tag :tiphat:

Fair enough. :icon23:

50/50 shot to choose the correct thread. 100% chance to get the wrong one. In any case, that's what I've done with it thus far today. Mods take it down if it helps the old feels.

Swift Springs in the front and rear installed. Car rides great! Went to install the H&R Spacers and was sent the wrong product. Box indicates that they're correct, but we believe they're for the Toyota platform. The spacers don't even fit over the hub and the studs have a different pitch.

Now I gotta ride around for a week with sunk in wheels :(

Friday AM is definitely a good day to do this. :driving:

Red Hot Sloth 10-14-2016 10:08 PM

Yea, I agree, weekends are way too busy. The roads were wide open, didnt start encountering traffic until until close to noon. Got home around 4-ish. Finished our drive along the 101. Glorious day in the Z.

DeliriousClam 10-15-2016 12:14 AM

Went on the drag strip for my first time. I sucked but it was fun. Just gotta get used to it

After I put a new battery in mine, it slowly over 1 day came out of limp mode,and hasn't returned to it the few months.
They seem to go into that mode after sitting awhile

welp, at age 19, i thought my life was about to come to an end tonight. i believe it was a toyota camry that failed to use their signal when switching into my lane which caused me to brake harder than i ever want to and swerve into oncoming traffic. luckily, nobody was close enough to cause any damage to my vehicle. as i cruise into a parking lot(still facing oncoming traffic) i regained my senses and proceeded to meet my gf. God is good

It's dangerous out there. You're certainly lucky! Yesterday I was traffic waiting at a red light and the car in front of me starts rolling backwards. I had to honk my horn to get her attention just before she hit me. Dumb ***!

She had to finish the text before she hit the brake...

Got my rear tires changed after measly 25,000 miles. I'm now running BF Goodrich G-Force COMP 2 A/S with 255/45/18. I'll see how this goes....

JesseG805 10-17-2016 06:53 PM

Spotted a red Z at school. Didn't know you could make a Z sound like a honda with a fart can...
:ugh2:

Apparently the 2014 washer fluid bottle is larger and the DRL's would not fit. Luckily a 2009 Z was in the shop getting a Stillen bumper put on, and it turns out the the 2009 bottle is smaller. Shop had to order a 2009 washer bottle neck from Nissan to fit the 2009 bottle.

He did not want to paint the bumpers while trying to fit the bottle, so teh paint did not get scratched.

Two weeks later, looks like we are back on track.

Bumpers are finally painted. Maybe done this week? :happydance:

Received my FLEX Z coil overs yesterday. already have ARP splitter, wheel is going to powder coating Satin black. Will try to wrap hood and roof this weekend. hoping to post pic by next week.

ChopsZ 10-20-2016 11:41 PM

Went out after work tonight and picked these Nismo wheels up. Traded my base 18's and some cash for them. And there's the old Z with my 18's on it now. Also picked up a pair of rear wheel spats that I'm going to have painted the same Gun Metallic, then install them.

I had to run this tire as an emergency tire from my way home. It's not as grippy as re11.

It actually sucks because it broke grip way too early and didn't even convey just bam tail starts moving laterally.

I got firehawk indy 500 on the rear and it cost less. Grip is okay.

Then again it depends on your driving habits and what you're looking for grip vs longevity

PJ23 10-21-2016 02:58 PM

Picked up the car from the body shop after getting the handles painted. I think it really pulls the car together.

Edit: Pic is way too big lol

This week the Z received a new steering rack (warranty), new driver side airbag, new driver side curtain airbag, new driver side airbag module, new passenger side airbag, and a new airbag diagnostic module (all airbag components covered by Nissan under good-will coverage). Sad that I didn't have time to pick it up and drive it to the USGP this weekend.

ChopsZ 10-23-2016 07:31 PM

A quick photo shoot this evening with the sun setting.

Installed AAM Short tails last night. Had some slight fitment issues, so going to tweak that but other than that pretty happy with the mod for the price!
