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

ouch... I swiggle the gear shifter and keep the clutch down till the engine stabilizes instead of the crank and clutch drop.

hope the repair's won't be that bad. or maybe upgrade to a different bumper?

oh and I think you might want to check your alignment :S

Awful. Duct tape until fixed. They sell red ones.

Looked at it, then hopped in the dd.

^^ Sorry to hear....good luck with repairs!

This is why I never park in gear....

Besides that, got a set of new tires on, car is at 14k. Got direzza ZII star specs and will use the remainder of tread left on the crappy OEM RE050A's to do a nice drift and throw in trash

The car should have come with better tires OEM, at least something like the Yoko's on the Nismos....feels like a different car with proper tires

the 050's are not bad by any means. just loud.

I'm in a fkin bad position right now. trying to get new tires but where I am no one has the re11's in stock. I might have to settle with pss's... argh. my ears hurt from listening to all the ringing calling up shops lol

Changed the differential gear oil to redline 75 90,changed the tranny fluid to redline mt85, and bleed clutch over to motul 600. Thx to some great diy posts and help from friends. The test drive after was great nice firm feel to the clutch shifting is smoother. Well worth the time and effort.

to those who's efforts made this almost easy thx

in the middle of the night, some asshat tried to take one of my b-pillar covers off and cracked off the corner of it

luckily the cracked off piece was right on the ground. I glued it back together and vinyl wrapped them both so they match until I source another one for the passenger side. Doesn't look great up close but it's passable
