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

kenchan

dynamat with no roller is like doing clearbra without a squeegee..

kenchan

or like having sushi with no soysauce.

Pintsize725

Or go with gt mat and get the roller and degreaser included.



(I might be trying to get a part time selling job there.)

Yea I might need to get a rolling pin out to fix it now rather than later lol... this stuff sticks pretty good. I got a small piece on the garage floor and this morning I tried to peel it off... let's just say I lost some of my nail =X

kenchan

yah, the adhesive is sticky, but as with all adhesive you need to apply even pressure to all surface area for it to cure completely.

you paid money for it, why not get the max effect?

kenchan

fast forward 3 days...

kenchan i cant hear no difference! <= mishuko

I just ordered from Z1...(finally):

1 x SPL Front Upper Control Arms (370Z / G37) = $764.00
1 x Stillen 370Z Front Brake Cooling Kit = $291.00
Fascia Type OEM (Non-Nismo)
1 x GM Advan RS 18X10+15 Used wheels = $1,450.00
4 x Toyo RA1 275/35 R18 = $1,104.00

I'm finally going to have a legit track setup!

I hoping to actually save money in the long run on race rubber.

LOL I noticed I could hear the exhaust... not sure if it's psychological (because 3 hours for the work I did) or not...

But I was worried about the bubbling issue during install so I went all out and did multiple passes and made sure it was on. It helps that I am small enough to fit in my trunk and with all the paddings out I had a lamp, scissors, razor, the dampeners and garbage pile. I was really surprised how much space is in the trunk when stripped!


Okay one more question... when lining with dyno/hush/whatever you use, do you also line the inside of the bumper area that's above the left wheel well?

Interesting choice on the tires. When you get your cooling kit on let's see some nudies! I mean pics!

If it is psychological, it got me also. Two weeks ago I had Dynamat (or something similar) installed by the local audio shop. Hearing my stock exhaust was the first thing I noticed. The second was that I no longer had to fiddle continuously with the volume on the audio.

I GOT WORDS!!! The parts (assuming both g3's and cbe) are due to ship from the manufacturererererer this friday and should arrive by next week friday. But by then Z will be at the shop and no time to pick it up. So the shop will have to ship it to me the wait...

Yea I usually adjust my volume from 6 to 8 during highway. Haven't taken to the highway yet but did do a bit of 'spirited' acceleration...

kenchan

you mean the quarter panel area on the inside? i tried the best i could, but was only able to lay down a very limited amount of dynamat in there...

blackcherry20

wow!

I was working with 1' squares, which made it much easier I think than if I had a big roll. I stuck one square in there with the plastic still protecting the sticky material and molded it where I wanted, with one edge lined up against the vertical seam. Then marked at the fold or just pulled out the folded square, cut where needed, and applied the piece. Then measure the next area the same way. I only did this on one side because I had a limited number of squares for the entire hatch, but it was very efficient with little waste and excellent coverage
