I used some anti-seize on the mating surfaces so hopefully the wheels come off easier next time.

They are Type 2 spacers - 25mm front, 20mm rear.

IS having your tail light's tinted still illegal? sorry random question? lol

Hey guys,

Haven't been on here for a while. On Memorial Day I was fishing with a couple friends and we had a boating accident and my good friend Tyler drowned. He's in a couple pics on this thread helping me work on my car. I miss my buddy every day and posting on internet forums took a back seat to a bunch of other stuff for a while.

I've been through some other life changes over the past few months but through it all I still have my Z and still enjoy driving it. I'm looking forward to spring when I can pick up where I left off.

I'm usually not one to preach but in memory of my friend I'll just share a couple of the lessons I've learned through all of this. Wear life jackets when you're boating, and be careful mixing alcohol and activities on the water. Live life to the fullest every day and let your family and friends know how you feel about them often.

Jeff

Sorry to hear

Jeff, my condolences go out to you and the families affected by this.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Back to the car, she got a long overdue oil change (9200 miles since the last change). I feel good that I was running high end Redline Oil but I don't think I'll make it a habit to wait that long. Somewhere near the end of that 9200 miles I added a quart when the level looked low. Forgot to get a sample for analysis, maybe next time.

I used a local DIY shop and their Hi-Lift 4-post Lift to make the job a lot easier, only $18/hr but I had a 50% off coupon, so $9. Pretty neat place. www.wrench-it.com (Salt Lake City)

Date: 1/30/11
Mileage: 25846
Maintenance Performed: Oil Changed, Oil Filter Replaced
Parts Used: Redline 5W30-6qts, $58.20, Purolator Pure One Oil Filter #PL14610, $6.49, Drain Bolt Washer Replaced, Nissan OEM 11026-01M02 $0.66, 1 hour lift time $9 - Total $74.35

Summer Tires/Rims back on the car since Saturday. Balance, Mount, Reprogram TPMS - No charge at Les Schwab since I bought the tires there. Good guys. Feels good to have the summer set back on the car!

Just read through the journal. Beautiful car and very detailed posts. Thanks.

These warnings come up a lot on radio stations here in Southern California. In fact, there is a law in California where the owner of the boat is responsible for such incidents like your friend.
