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

trackster22 · 09-21-2014, 03:48 PM

took the car out for a Sunday cruise around the town which I do almost every Sunday. Do the rest of you find that everyone wants to come up and "play" with you???? It seems like every dude in a Mini or a Suburu wants to get on my *** and drive crazy. I was cruising down the interstate about 90 and two little minis come up look over and floor their cars. I went up to 110 and then said screw them I don't need another speeding ticket.

I got the ultimate upgrade today, a garage for my Z! A small investment of 65/mo to add it to my lease, but it's totally worth it for peace of mind. Let the OCD begin!

Found a use for the reflector...

I centered based on the width of whole sticker, now I feel like I should've centered the 129 part.

Not today, but a few days ago i was sitting in the parking lot at school waiting for someone to leave and some girl reversed her dodge ram into my front bumper, hood and headlight.

I just couldn't shift into reverse fast enough, and she was looking out her side window the entire time she was reversing.

Scheduled an appointment at the dealer for tomorrow morning for them to warranty cover my rear differential bushing that recently failed.

Apparently not. The bushing is part of a cross member that is not covered under the powertrain warranty. So a <$100 part that is made of rubber and therefore prone to failure is embedded inside a $900 cross member part which costs $1600 in labor. Nice work, Nissan

On the bright side, I will be ordering the Whiteline bushing for an upgrade

DIY I guess since everyone wants $1000 minimum for labor...

bring it to any reputable shop. shouldnt charge more than 4hours of labor. my local Z speciality shop said they do them in 3hours flat

edit. saw your above post after posting. good job! 270 is a totally fair price as itd take you 6-8hours to do it on jackstands/your back

It's not even noon and I've already scanned the classified list 3 times. I don't even know what I'm looking for. I guess I'll know it when I see it.
