I hated that viscous (viscus??) bastard. The Quaife LSD I put in is waaaaaay more predictable !!

ChaseZ 03-06-2017 07:07 PM

Rubber met grounds today. Which means I get to park both vehicles in the garage again. Not sure which makes me happier lol

ChaseZ 03-07-2017 06:50 PM

Got the car out for a little of logging for Sebastian today. Staying out of Boost for the most part and hanging around half pedal until he gives the ok, but man you can just feel her wanting to throw down and go when you are teetering on that edge!

Speaking of Sebastian... I've realized today that while running Map 2, I just reached 100 miles and am only 2 dots above half a tank! My last tank, I managed 216 miles! LOL

Honestly, I think it's more a matter of my right foot than it is the tune. :icon14:

Nizmo.Man 03-07-2017 10:48 PM

Changed some fluids today, wowzers...what's going on in the diff:icon14:

Not sure what my mileage was last year but I have no doubt it will be far in the toilet this summer!

Actually, I know exactly why mine is crap now. After installing those ART pipes, I can actually hear the exhaust now, and man does it sound good! :tiphat:

Yup. I recommend no more than 15k between diff changes.

Not even sure what this sludge is to be honest....when I was emptying the oil I noticed some small metal specks so maybe a diff rebuild will be on the list soon. Just hit 43k miles. Not sure when previous maintenance was done :/. This is what wiped off. http://i63.tinypic.com/w15g6f.jpg

Jayhovah 03-07-2017 11:32 PM

By the looks of it, you may have just done it for the first time.

ChaseZ 03-08-2017 12:15 AM

I have nowhere near that mileage and if it wasn't for the fact I am planning on a new
SD in the next couple months, seeing that would make me change the diff fluid tomorrow!

bodyshop day today
 
So today I went down to a body shop here in Las Vegas and got the following things corrected:

NOTE: These issues remained from a previous owner having a minor crash and the work performed was not up to 100% quality workmanship standards that I desire and the car deserves. I have no idea where the previous repairs were done but the Z came from a Bakersfield California dealership originally. Somehow the original owner became out of the picture after or during the repairs and no longer was the owner. The Z then got sold & auctioned /resold to a dealership in LV where I ended up purchasing it 2nd hand.

Work Done

1. I had my rear hatch aligned properly.
2. I also had a very small paint run on the left side of the hatch color
sanded/buffed and now the affected area no longer has any sign of a paint
run.
3. One of two of the side rockers (driver side) had been replaced but the inner
fender well was not blocked off. That now has been corrected and is now
identical to the other original side.
4. Left Front Side Rocker end where the front mud flap installs on the top of
was not properly aligned with the body and was slightly recessed causing
the mud flap to be out of position as compared to the passenger/original
factory positioning. This was re adjusting for correct alignment to body and
now the driver side mud flap/front of rocker body mounting position is
identical to the passenger side.

I'm now happy to say that all mechanical and cosmetic issues that came with the car have now been completely addressed & the result is I now own a slightly used but excellent condition Z inside & out.:icon18:

filled it with 16.4 gallons of gas. how big are our tanks? I had a buck and a quarter off each gallon so I ran it low even tho I know it's bad and I usually don't do it.

crazy4oldcars 03-08-2017 11:51 AM

19 gallons capacity. With 320 miles in the Trip A, she's telling me I got 32 miles to empty. Gonna have to fill up on the way home. I usually get 20 to 21 Emma Pee Gees .

Kirk B.

JARblue 03-08-2017 12:19 PM

Yup. 19.1 US Gallons. I routinely fill up 18 gallons.

barncobob 03-08-2017 12:27 PM

I fill up at 1/4 tank, it only take 1X running out of gas on fwy, night and raining..

mishuko 03-08-2017 12:49 PM

Half tank I'm compelled to fill... although I run to 1/4 before parking. And same thing coming out of parking.
