Ken you've been a terrible influence on me... I'm super OCD on keeping it clean... now I gotta run to the store this week to buy me some QD

:icon18: most excellent. :tup:

i saw my local autoparts store carry Griot's stuff. i use SpeedShine exclusively....
i buy from amazon though since i have prime membership. :D

Been working on my 1975 280z this weekend. Did a fluid exchange on the brakes and clutch system. I also pulled my Nismo in for an oil change. Inspected the clutch fluid and found this. 23,000 miles and I have coffee in my clutch master cylinder reservoir. Take a look. Had to do a fluid exchange on this also. Ugg.

It did have some debris in the bottom of it. Used my master vac to vaccum out the old fluid. Cleaned with a paper towel and directed the paper towel in the cracks with a jewelers screw driver. Didn't need any of that crap going downstream.

Don't kidd yourself, the Jag had nothing to do with the "nice car" comments. Jag's are for fags.

Call me a "fag". But I'd take an f type coupe any day!

Yup, I wouldn't say "no" to an F-Type.

Yesterday we drove the Z to the lake and went kayaking, people were confused to see a sports car by the boat ramp :tup:

Ok, so there are some exceptions to every rule. lol

I cruised with an F-type convertible on Saturday afternoon :driving:

Gorgeous vehicle :yum:

yah, my clutch fluid was a slightly discolored at 5yrs/15.5K miles on my Z.
i did the ranger method about a month ago, and it's as clean as my fresh
dot3/4 in the brake reservoir. :D

I just got this

Dodgy gas station tire gauges be damned!

Looks like 15K clutch fluid service will be the norm for me. Hope I caught it in time or a failure will surely insue.

I check mine when I check my oil. I even have the Stingray guy across the avenue doing the fluid swap every Sat before he goes to the track on Sunday. His Stingray after a few launches makes his fluid BLACK. Although his reservoir is black, we put it into a water bottle and it was opaque.

thought you were showing off a condom. lol

i have a moroso myself. i rarely use it though.. been using my digital gauge lately. :D

when i did the ranger method, which is 30 clutch in/out per cycle (x3 cycles), my clutch started to squeak during the 2nd cycle.

so you might want to do 15 in/out per cycle instead.

the squeaking went away after 5-10min though. i think the csc may have
heated up or something. not sure wat the squeaking was from.
