I think my extended warranty just expired at 72k.

Played with some faster cars tonight. They were all racing but I was just cruising until they went and they still made me look like I was cruising but not as bad as I thought. R35 GTR, z06, bolt on cts-v, etxc..

I hit 24,000 miles on the track yesterday.

I came out to a car covered with a new more granular form of pollen! Looked like Sand, that's what it could have been but no "lawn blowers" on a Monday in my neighborhood, haha.

Upgraded my dark dummy fog lights to a red oem nissan. Then changed the rear tag lights to bright white from JWmotor.

Simple and inexpensive upgrades but made a huge difference on the looks department.

cool. does that red one light up? if not, just get something like this, drill
a hole where the factory bulbs go and wire it up. :D

Gave the Z a thorough interior cleaning including vacuuming, using Chemical Guys Natural Finish detailer on the dash and plastic panels, and taking a microfiber rag soaked in Microfiber wash all over the carpeted areas

This was my most extensive cleaning of the interior for at least 6 months!

Even got underneath the backend and cleaned some water spots off my exhaust for good measure

After a long weekend up on jack stands, I finally made my car drivable and put it back on the ground. Plus a long test drive, of sorts.

I've only had it a week now, so today I got some window tint and installed new door speakers, along with amp. Tomorrow, I'll be installing a Berk CBE.

I got the one that can be functional with the bulb and connector.
I'll probably wire it to the brake lights or tag tights just being lazy to do it. For now its only for aesthetic.

i wired a oem looking rocker in my center console (where the 3 blanks were on my base 09).

got my TPMS resync'd at the dealership today. awesome experience for one. service advisor called a tech to the parking lot and he came by with the consult 3, waved it at each wheel, plugged it into the ODB port, started the car and off i was in 5 minutes. no charge :icon14: :happydance:

Glad for you. It wouldn't be that easy at my Stealership, haha.

I have a tool that will reset TPMS. No silly fees for me at the stealership... :)

i was surprised to be honest haha

oh really? which tool? i was told the consult3 was the only way to sync NEW sensors. anyway, i spoke to soon. on my way to work today the TPMS light blinked maybe 5x then went solid on me :owned:

I've got the Snap-on tool, I'm not sure what is it's model number. It plugs into the OBD port and you reprogram them from there.

i do too. it's called e-tape. :icon17: :ugh:

I took the steering wheel off of my car and found that I get to replace yet another $200 part. Of all things, they decided to use weak little flex cables with no protection to prevent them from tearing.

hello mr. king kong

Drove it for the last time. Now sold and Z-less. It was a good trip while it lasted.

What did you replace it with?

Went in a completely different direction and bought a 2014 Jeep Rubicon. Getting ready to move to the country and the Z really wasn't going to work out where we're moving.

Was thinking about a Ford Raptor, but dealers are asking ridiculous prices on those right now.

Now that the spring pollen season has passed and the full UV-scorching summer season is here, I completed a thorough interior detail with vacuum, brush and my trusty bottle of 303 Aerospace Protectant.

^flawless!!! Does this 303 aerospace protectant last long and does not have a wet look finish on the dash? I hate that type of look.

Check my tires pressure 45-47psi on all tires
 

I checked my tire pressures finally I new they felt rough but I had no idea they were as high as they were. 45-47 psi on all four tires, I aired them down to 35 and its like night and day the ride is much better.

Tomei Ti Exhaust! Gonna throw this on my car immediately!

I know that most people don't like single side on the 370z, but I think it's outstanding.

I like it!

I've been using 303 for a while on different cars now. No wet look and very low shine. Some textures are difficult to even tell it was applied at all. I even use it on my steering wheel and then go over with another clean, dry microfiber towel and it's supple, black with no wet-look or slimy feel. :tup:

changed steering and clutch fluids in my Z while working on my G.

the clutch fluid was still pretty clear after 15k miles 5yrs... slight contaminant
on the bottom of the reservoir when i wiped.

Do you mind sharing your technique for power steering fluid change?

This is a real question, Mr. Kenchan.

:tiphat:

Excellent work.

And, done!

I checked mine this morning as well. I was 1-2psi low in all four.

Perhaps turkey baster method.

prima nero > aero303

detailer's paradise baselined the aero303 to make their prima nero to be more matte.

:hello: Ranger protocol or no?

:iagree:
I have used 303 for years and loved it for the matte. I just tried the Prima Nero recently and it is perfect. Makes the interior look like you would expect on a new car. :tup:

I'll have to try it once I run out of my trusty old 303. :)

I still have a gallon of 303 concentrate in the basement :tup:

mr.onzedge- my method is similar to the ranger method for the clutch.
i dont think it's really necessary to do this service, but i like to do it when
my car reaches 5yrs.

i use a turkey baster with an extension tube (syringe would also work)
and suction out the steering fluid from the reservoir. then fill new
fluid 999MP-AG000P to middle of the cold line (min/max).

i place cardboard under the front tires, start engine, turn the steering lock
to lock 10 full cycles. shut off car and repeat until the fluid is a bright
red color.

one bottle of 999MP-AG000P can do 2 fills. :D
