What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

BamBamZ · 04-12-2015, 07:05 PM

Put a little projector LED behind the door panel facing the empty red reflector and 2 tiny little LEDs under the door and wired it to the door sill lights and grounded at the door pin (so it goes on and off when the door is open and closed [did both doors])

Are those rims in the first pic brushed turquoise? Brushed teal?

installed RJM clutch pedal today. Man what a pain in the but working under the dash, i'm going to be sore tomorrow.

The change in the feel of the clutch is truly remarkable. So much easier to be smooth. Now it just feels "right".

yesterday did the first wash, clay, wax of the year.

found a few deep scratches that won't buff out... oh well... it happens.

decided to try the meguiar's ultimate wax paste, was using the gold before. we'll see how it holds up and i'll decide between the two.

Hope you're not using a sponge?

Got my F.I. exhaust installed and my Sport Rays back on. Proceeded to do a nice little wash Saturday morning and went for a cruise. It's like a whole new car with the exhaust on. I cannot stop rolling into the throttle at 3.5k and listening to the symphony the car makes.

yah the car is definitely too quiet in stock form.

DatsunFTW · 04-13-2015, 06:44 PM

Installed my Z1 25 row oil cooler in prep for Zdayz!

Also did some simple clean up like my filters and etc. and the Z sounds nice and pure.
Now I just need to lift the car back up one of these days and tighten up the heat shield. It is buzzing and quite frustrating when downshifting...

if that's a weekend car, make sure to blow a fan at the car for several hours... run a dehumidifier if you have one too.

Daily driver, I will wash it and dry it off under the carport.

What week is ZdayZ? When I saw all the rooms were booked, I gave up. I may drive up.
