Hi everyone

is time to update this thread hahaha! a long time with out posting soo here i go!

Im going to start with some maintenance cause my Z already arrive to the 50k miles... Thanks to my friend Thomas (DatsunFTW) who send me a few pics of how to replace the PS fluid... i decide to change the stock fluid with the Red Line D6 ATF fluid. BTW if you have to take off the front bumper take your time and do this... is soo easy and simple maintenance to do

Then a few weeks later i decide to clean the Throttles Bodies. The last time i did this maintenance was at the dealer and the Z have around 25k miles or less on the odo soo is time to do this too lol! After reading this thread here on the 370z page Cleaning throttle bodies and take some advice from Mr JARbule, I decide to take the chance and do it by my self. If you follow the instruction is easy to... here are some pics of before and after of my TB's

This maintenance take time but is easy if you remove them from the car to give a good clean, also i clean the AFE Drop-In filters too. The car feel more smooth and i only pay like $5.00 for the TB Cleaner lol!

The next post are going to be for the new front look
