Cats have to last 80k miles by some federal regulation. They can be replaced sooner if they get "damaged". When you replace cats it is up to the owner and installer to make sure the cats meet federal requirements. But unless you live in Cali, most emissions stations just check for cats, they could care less if they meet federal standards, and would probably only say something if your car failed emissions.

Question, has anyone seen a GM or PG or w/e color the 40th is; with either a painted black roof or gloss vinyl wrap on the roof. It looks really nice on PW and MB, it has me wondering how it would look on my car.

Around here as long as there are cats, that's all they need. No sniffer tests or anything. In fact, most of the time they don't even check and you can go no cats.

Well, I got my car all nice and clean so I could run by the dealership and check out my paint to see what they would do for me. I get to the dealership and the Service department was closed (I was there between 1-2pm). I talked to a salesman and he told me that I would have to come back on Monday. I left wondering to myself why the Service department would be closed on a day when the rest of the Dealership was open. Seems to me you would definitely want it to be open on a Saturday when the rest of the dealership is open as well. Then tonight I got curious about how this process would work so I sent an email to Nissan and will just have to wait for a response back about that.

^^Skeeterbop can you get up a pic of your issue with your paint. I am also in the same boat and going to dealership next week.

I'll have a few pics up of the affected area a little later. Saturday I'll have my first "mod" done! Going to get the windows tinted, 35% on the sides and 5% on the hatch.

Need tint in the Sun City

Skeeterbop · 11-14-2011, 10:24 PM

Here is a pic of what the paint looks like, this is after they washed and polished the paint:

Skeeterbop · 11-14-2011, 10:24 PM

It goes all the way across that part of the hatch.

Skeeterbop, did I see you driving your Z today going down Montana Ave around noonish? I was in the PW Nismo. Glad to hear the stealership is going to take care of you.

Skeeterbop · 11-14-2011, 11:54 PM

Most likely, I was headed over to Casa Nissan about that time.

You know if Nissan Motorsports made this available for the 370, I would definitely have it on my must have list:
PN: 25900-33VDC
Description: The Whiteline 350Z Black Box is a piggy-back control unit that allows full control of how the VDC (Vehicle Dynamic Control) system intervenes. The system has 5 presets or the user can customize one or all of them to his own settings. The user can add or subtract control of the front or rear wheels independently as well as how much VDC is active (from OEM to zero). Instructions and all wiring included. Perfect for the track day enthusiast. For 2003-2006 350Z equipped with VDC only.

I didn't notice you this afternoon, but by any chance, are you ever on Biggs Airfield? I've seen a White NISMO a couple times on Biggs and once on 375.

So playing around with Lightroom and changed the wheel color. Was shooting for a bronze look. What do you guys think?
