So, the wife and I moved to sw Colorado for her to pursue an opportunity. The 370z is up for sale. Some of you may remember the wicked bird poop damage on the hood but I've since had it stripped, primed, painted, cleared, and clear bra. Looks amazing...

Also had the notorious leaky slave cylinder and just had the entire clutch system replaced under warranty. If any of you know of anyone looking for a nice Z, send them my way. This thing is a great deal now... ARK exhaust, fresh clutch, brand new tires and brakes... I'm going to miss it but we NEED 4wd now.

I put it on the for sale forums for 29k.

ajperretta · 09-11-2013, 08:12 PM

The good news is I only have 42k miles on my Z so the dealer is swapping a new gearbox under warranty. I cant wait to drive the new box

pps. Shadezz is helping me powder-coat my wheels while the z is up on the dealer lift. (Thanks again Shadezz) The car is going to come down off the lift wearing a new tranny and new powder-coated rims. All in all I'd say the track beating has done my ride a world of good.

Your wheels are getting done as this post goes up...

In related news, Shadezz and I are doing a brake/wheel day in the next week or so.

were putting on:
1. ss brake lines (both of us)
2. spacers (I'm doing 15mm front 20mm rear)
3. (I'll be swapping out some front brake pads)
4. Shadezz is thinking of doing rotors (Z1 slotted, floating?)

Anyhoo If anybody in the Denver Z crew wants in, I say we make a day of it!
(At the least bring in some Motol RBF 600 and we can bleed in some high temp fluid to get your ride track ready!)

We can set a date and location here in the thread if there is any interest.
(SS brake upgrades are available online through Z1 motorsports for about $125.00 + a few bucks for dot4 fluid)

Sounds good Surfdog!!

We should maybe just buy the 3 half day pack for 243..so that we can split 3 ways if someone else wants to join!! ONLY 80 bucks guys and well worth it!!

Stainless steel brake lines are here(going GTR dot4 fluid...and hopefully I'll get my pulleys installed before we go.

SurfDog · 09-20-2013, 01:37 AM

Lets get those lines in! When did your buddy say he can work the lines in? I hope it's not* this* Saturday (I'm still out of town). I might have to bolt them in myself...
