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

Memphis370Z · 05-07-2015, 04:07 PM

Turned 39,000 on the odometer today. I've put about 5,000 miles on her since my purchase in September. Love my Z even more now than I did then.

Hmmmm, sounds like you went to Hickam by way of the North Shore.

It's this kind of logic that makes me wonder why there are so many 370Z's with low mileage

I took my 370 to a client site today in Napa -- I had a nice, and much-needed, spirited drive.

Brad Edwards · 05-08-2015, 10:52 AM

The 370z is sitting warm in the garage and staying out of the rain we are having in So Cal today.

Scheduled an appointment on Monday for Austin Z Clinic to write up a work order for transmission replacement under warranty since my 5th and 6th gear synchros are grinding.

I had that too. Got a new tranny for $50 deductible!!!

Gotta love that factory certified warranty!

Nice

But I'm kind of glad Nissan is not doing the work. I have 100K mile warranty through my credit union. And no deductible

Well ... yesterday, wash and wax in prep for fun Saturday at the autox

Today will pull all the loose stuff from the car, put it in a bag and load up for tomorrows fun.

BC416 · 05-08-2015, 12:43 PM

Will most likely hit 16,000 miles on my ride home. Going to get all this pollen washed off in prep for our first local Z meet of the year tomorrow morning.

Funky noise coming from the front end after bottoming out in a parking lot pot hole. Looked around last night and didn't see anything obvious, will have to get the wheels off and take a better look.

Bshields22 · 05-08-2015, 01:48 PM

My Z is not my DD. Decided to take it out today after not driving it for a little over 2 weeks. Didn't check the weather foracast.....its currently raining on a perfectly detailed Z... i guess i have an excuse to spend some quality time detailing it again.

I live close to Diamond Head and my office is next to the Ala Moana shopping center. My route was going back east through Kalanianaole Hwy, past Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach, Makapuu, Waimanalo, then 13 Turns in Maunawili Valley, up through the Pali and then down through the Old Pali Road and back to my office. It's a great drive and think I'll do it monthly when I don't have to be in the office early.

Didn't want to say it earlier, but I thought it sounded like a bb in a paint can or a plinko machine. Hard to replicate, but decided it was the right side. Pulled the wheel and everything looked good. Humm, then something caught my eye. A broken bolt laying in the undertray right by the power steering. This is what I fished out. I suspect it is a broken demon bolt from when I had a shop remove the OEM cats. Odd thing, I tried to fish it out with my magnet and it isn't magnetic. It believe it is 10mm. Any idea where this may have come from if it wasn't a demon bolt? If so, it's been hiding in the engine bay for a few months. Car feels fine, no shimmy, vibration or pull. I guess hitting the pot hole shock it loose from where it was hiding?
