Looking for some 370z information

kirakira · 06-22-2014, 07:26 PM

Anyone know a good PDR in the uptown toronto region? Markham, North York, or Richmond hill area

zefaulter · 06-22-2014, 09:36 PM

No idea, that really sucks man... 1.Park far away from people or 2.Stop being OCD about the car. I am doing both and it still hurts every time something happens

There is a place on Doncaster I've used. Also know a mobile guy who will come to your place.

It hurts...SOOO MUCH T_T It's just a small ding no bigger than a small button...but OCD is a bitch.

Yes and no.

So, I have decided to not be a little baby and to ride my 370z during winter. RBC has parking for me in their parking area so I will be safe from any major snow storms that happen during the work hours.

Because I will be driving in the winter time, I believe getting a clear bra for my car is needed. I called into auto links today and asked them about clear bra and they told me "Option C" would be the best for my car which is....24” coverage front facing hood (all edges wrapped) & fenders Complete front bumper....costing my 650.

Is this enough for a Toronto winter? and has anyone negotiated the price with these guys before? 650 feels kinda pricey.

nice! Do full hood, those stones will hit all areas of your hood. Also it looks nicer since you won't have a seam halfway on the hood.

Autolinks is great, ask if they have Redflagdeals group buy pricing.

Rust proof 100% required. I do Krown but most brands should be fine. You wanna do this way before it gets cold. I do mine mid August every year

I'm afraid the winter tires will cost an arm and a leg though. I'll worry about that in October.

Working downtown has the benefit of being able to subway or drive

Employee parking

Find a set of 350Z wheels (18's) or base 370Z wheels for winter, tires are much cheap in 18's. Other wise you'll be fine, just be smart about what you try and go through in the winter, I drive mine all year round with no problems, I live in AB and drive north past Grande Prairie every winter.

yup, agreed! you could try tire setup like 235/45/18 all around with spacers if you want it to look ok

I found the RFD group buy and added my name to the list.

I have rust proof already at the dealership. I paid quite a bit I think, around 600? for the full bottom and inside the doors and stuff.

The main reason I do as MacCool does is that in Minnesota we use salt. Winter destroys cars around here. If I lived in Denver, where they don't salt, I would be less anal about it.

The biggest issue with snow, salt aside, is how low your car sits. Snow plows are huge for a reason. The Z makes a terrible snow plow. So if you drive it in winter you'll need a heavy snow day car.

As far as whether you buy now or wait...I wouldn't hold my breath for the new Z design. I'm in the camp that thinks it is going away or that they will screw it up so bad that I will deny it exists. Honestly, I wouldn't buy a new Z but instead buy a used one that has low miles (meaning it was put away in winter) and no mods (meaning it was likely not driven by someone that is well aware they come with a rev limiter!

Buy a sport if you plan to mod the body or go Nismo if you don't.

But whatever you do...go Z and put a the370z.com sticker on it!

Anyone know if the wheels off a 2004 Altima SE-R will fit a 2004 G35? My son needs a set for racing. The G35 he bought came with non-track acceptable wheels.
