Some Z Owners...

370zHawaii

I am not big on compaining, griping, ranting, b***ing etc etc. I recently purchased my 3rd Z, 09 Nismo. I had a MG 09 Base, sold it for a PW 10 Base. I really wanted a Nismo but the only stealership in Hawaii at the time told me it was going to be a 6 month wait. Anyway I sold the 2010 PW, well because I started a family and moved to Florida. Now that things are settled I found a good deal on a SR 09 Nis. The car was in ok shape, I got the front end clay bared, wet sanded polished, clay bared the rest of the car polish and waxed as well. Came out great. I steamed cleaned the cloth interior, I tried my best to clean this filthy motor. I am now changing the oil.

Here is where I get pissed. The previous owner or stealership did not use a drain plug gasket, used cheap oil, and the cheapest oil filter possible. How do I know because the oil went from nice clear yellow tinted like to almost black in 2 weeks! I drive hard. But only used a half of tank a gas since owning it. Anyway I am putting FS MB1, with Purolator Filter, Mag Drain Plug, and Filter Mag. I do this on all my cars. Considering changing all of the other fluids while I am at it as well as the spark plugs. 60K miles

Sorry I just needed to vent, and hope that people would appreciate their Z's more and take better care of them. Now this baby is in my hands and she will have a lot of abuse, but TLC at the same time, not just abuse. I try to make everything I have last forever, I still have my original NES with the box, games and etc etc like new. That's how OCD I am.
