did my first oil change on the Z today. What was nissan thinking using 16 bolts to hold on the under tray? :shakes head:

You don't have to remove the undertray. There's a flap that folds down to access the drain plug and filter. You can hold it out of the way with a bungee cord, if necessary.

Changed the oil good washing and off to find a few good :pics: 2 of the better ones top one was at table rock and the other is near Paris mt

Nice! Love the reflection of the fence in your Z!

:rock:

Those are great numbers withjust those mods :tup:

Started the process of painting my headlights yesterday and finished this morning. Right now I feel it kind of looks out of place with an otherwise stock car but once I get my other parts later this spring it should come together.

Change the oil at my DIY place, took about 15 minutes, but they charge by the hour($25)

Took more time to raise the Z, that changing the oil:driving:

Looks great! I don't think they look out of place, you just need to get used to them. I felt the same when I did mine, but now I think the stock chrome looks so bad, especially on black!

Thanks! Once I darken all the lighter colors on the car, I know it'll look pretty good. Right now I'm trying to decide if I should paint the door handles and emblems gloss, flat or matte black.

I tried plastidip on them first, liked the look but didn't like the peeling on the inside of the door handle,
Went with Evo r badges and cf door handle overlays and haven't looked back.

i need to do my headlights next, i want to do the projector and the amber signal thing in gunmetal tho

Yeah when I was picking up the paint for the headlights I picked up a can of plastidip so I can spray those parts and see how I like it and then take it off and paint them. I was thinking about doing the boomerang, turn signal and projector in gunmetal as well but I decided on a gloss black for those parts (mostly because I wanted to get it done this weekend and didn't want to wait for the gunmetal paint to come in) then matte black for the housing. The other thing I need to decide is if I want to powdercoat my wheel black or buy new wheels and if so which ones.

I pulled the trigger on these for the 240Z...
