And when is the next meet up. Leander has a car show/meetup first sunday of every month FYI.

The Z clinic comes highly recommended. You can also ask JARblue for any tips if you want to do it yourself.


We should meet up soon if you want to hear the exhaust. I'll be parting out near the end of the month. I'm also running the long tube headers with mine though.

Let me know if/when you guys meet up, I may be available also. I have the FI catback also with 12" resonators, but standard cats (for now!), if you'd like to hear that as a comparison.

I highly recommend San Marcos Nissan too for your service work. give them a call for pricing.

I also have a custom exhaust that sounds good. Not real loud with a low rumble

That is the set up I was thinking about just hoping that it is loud enough lol.

I called the Z clinic and Kevin does not house transmission fluid or engine oil. Think I might go with Mobile 1 with my engine and Motul for the transmission. If you use a different oil let me know pintsize your ride has decent miles so whatever you have used should be good for down in Austin Heat :tup: As for your exhaust what set up is it?

ANYTHING... Is better than stock right now it is to darn quite lol.:icon14:

If we all want to get something together soon I am off every weekend.

I don't have to worry about trans fluid as much since I'm a 7AT, but I use Redline myself. A lot of people have very different opinions on oil, so I would simply do some searching on the forums for info on that. It's been discussed every way to Sunday.

I work third shift, but I am normally up during the day on Saturday and Sunday, and most times Monday also. Just need to know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly if you want to check out the car.

It is a nice change from stock on the outside, and I'm pretty happy with how it sounds. A bit too much drone for my taste inside the cabin, but, a loud stereo and some sound deadening helped immensely. I'm looking to go to an 18" setup myself.

I'm also free until about noon during the rest of the week.

What part of Austin are you in?

I have an automatic. :/

Fast intentions long tube headers with the fast intentions cat back, 18" resonators and carbon fiber cans.

I'm down to do something Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

Kevin is definitely the guy to go to for VQ motors. But fluid changes are easy. I would DIY. I've got everything you need except fluids if you want to come over. I can do it for you for a few bucks, or I can let you work on it yourself with my tools and guidance for a few beers.

5 quarts of Mobil 1 is $26 at Walmart, so that's always my choice. High quality, low price.

For clutch/brake fluid, I use Motul RBF600. It's cheaper online, but you can find it at Wood's Fun Center on I-35 just north of Braker on the frontage road northbound. Call first, though. They usually have at least one 500 mL bottle, but I sometimes need two or three (one for clutch, two for brake, three for both).

As for gear oil, I highly recommend Redline. I usually just order it from Amazon or a forum sponsor. But I have found a place in town that can get it for you next day usually. They're called Motormania and located on 620 a little south of Anderson Mill Lane. I assume this is for MT. I cannot do AT fluid change.

Thank you for the offer JARblue I might have to take you up on that offer at somepoint soon. I have some tools at home but I am not really use to this car just yet. As far as my manual transmission oil sure Ill get redline I care what I use but if its good for you as I have seen you on some posts about fluids its good for me :tup: Do you have the link to the forum sponsor for redline for our cars. The weight we need is 75w-85 I think I am going to give Motormania a call for it. Ordered the motul oil from amazon already.

Saturday works for my wife and I. Any good ideas are welcomed. I am good to go somewhere and have a few beers might be nasty rainy though :shakes head:

Suggestions feel free to add more ideas

Salt Lick
Bars

I'll see if Morbid370Z is interested too. I'll shoot him a text. I'm down for a bbq place other than Salt Lick lol. I can't drink so bars are out for me.

Z1 has everything you need. Compare to Amazon prices. As for Motormania, I would only use them if you needed the fluid quick and didn't want to pay for overnight shipping. They can get it in their daily delivery without an extra charge.

Oils & Lubricants

Get the Redline MT-85 for transmission fluid.

I would love to do Salt Lick and even have something I need to do in Driftwood as well. Unfortunately, I already have plans this weekend :(

I am free on Sunday, but I am booked up for Saturday. I sleep as soon as I get home from work, then I get my nerd on with some tabletop shenanigans. :D

Let me know if Sunday works for you.

Here are some coupons for those of you who are interested.
Service Specials for Nissan in Austin and San Antonio at Nissan of San Marocs

I have a mobil 1 synthetic oil change done for less than 40 bucks. You cant beat that!

This dealership does excellent work. They also have free coffee, popcorn, pigs in a blanket, cookies, and soda.
They will also drop you off anywhere in San Marcos to shop and pick you up when you are ready.
Free car wash as well if you opt to after the service.

Ordered everything last night. Sounds like a party at your pad JARblue :icon17: Let me know when you have some time. Perferably on a weekend so the beer will not go to waste. I would like to try it myself to be able to do it again in 30k miles. And I have a manual transmission. :driving:

Breakfeast somewhere is cool with me on Sunday. I am an avid sports fan so bball is in full swing right now :)

I really want to hear this one for sure if you have time. Before I buy prob next week just in case I need to go non resonated.

Kerbey Lane@183 breakfast, Sunday morning?

That could work for me what time frame could work. So I know how hard I should drink on saturday :roflpuke2::tiphat:

I'm down for any time but maybe morbid370z should chime in. Since you want to hear his more.

:wtf2:I never meant that your is not good lol. I just bet the '18 is to quite. I want to be able to wake up people when I leave at 6:30AM for work. :driving:

Sending you a PM now

The resonators are only supposed to affect the level of cabin noise. But who knows really?

I'm good with that. Just let me know what time you all prefer, I have no plans until about 1pm.

11AM.. Does that sound good for everyone?

Sure why not?

Looks like 90% rain for Sunday, so I would bet Cars & Coffee gets canceled this month

You can totally meet us for breakfast then! :)

I am still a go for tomorrow. Crashing out for the night.

Pint, shoot me a text in the morning if plans change.


Thanks!

I am leaving in 15 mins. See you guys soon.

I should be there right at 11. Worse case, a few minutes late.

Was nice eating breakfast today.

Nice meeting you and the Mrs.


Poker night soon! Maybe more people will show up.

Likewise!

Was a pleasure meeting you both, and just getting to hang out during daylight hours when I'm not a vampire.

Poker is always fun, just keep me in the loop!
