The adjustor wanted the shop to use a fender from LKQ, but it was wavy as a potato chip.

I'm having withdrawals........

Man, sorry to hear. Especially sucks since you don't have a time frame either. Hope they get it straightened out next week and that you get your Z back soon.

Hit that 70,000 mark today. Not bad for a 2012

I love to drive this car everywhere.

I also stripped the interior for some dynamat. The exhaust note is just unbearable. I can't believe I waited this long to do it. No more headache! I still might buy enough for a little layer in the trunk. But I also don't want to add more weight since I love to take this car to the track. But daily driver priorities... I drive on the highway every day.

Also am going to get some expanding foam and spray over a few metal to metal pieces in the trunk and hopefully alleviate the vibrating noises. Having no rear mufflers sux for that reason!

Been to wet to get out.

Tested V1#2 this am and passed.

Definitely good to do the upgrade.

Installed slotted rotors, new pads, ss lines, and Motul. As always, a BIG thanks to dragonbreath. The man is a true friend and his wife is a saint.

Since my Z is non-Sport, and I couldn't fork over the funds to swap up to the Akebonos, I went with Z1's upgrade package. Not exactly sure who makes the rotors, but I read good things about them and decided to give it a shot. I picked up the package on Black Friday and got a really good deal. Comes with rotors (slotted, or slotted and drilled), several choices of pads, ss lines, and Motul 5.1 or Motul 600.

My Z should be a little more prepared for ZDayZ this May. Last year I had some brake fade on the Tail of the Dragon and things got, uh, interesting to say the least.

You took a right hand turn at under half a tank. Didn't you?? The upgrade kit is a good idea. Even just for the SS lines.

I wish that had been the issue. That would have been much less scary than going in "hot" in to a 90-degree turn with no braking until after crossing the dividing line. If that never happens again, that's just fine with me.

Considering getting Shine auto Spec-S side skirts and rear bumper add-ons. Had a hard time finding out much about them through search. Anyone here have them? If so, How was fitment and install?
