Stock Sport Ray's with TPMS sensors and OEM Bridgestones (fronts have plenty of tread and the rears are a little more worn). Whole set for $700 (I can throw in two more slightly damaged Stock Ray's wheels only, for $750 total)

Front license plate relocation kit and camera mount from P-Tuning. The camera mount was used, and provided a great view from my Sony Action Cam mounted there, but I never mounted the lic plate (NIB). ($60 for the set)

A Weathertech roll-up 370Z windshield cover. (Free to a good home if Misnomer doesn't want it.)

34 row oil cooler blocking plate. (Free to a good home if Crux doesn't want it.)

I might have some other parts, I'll have to check.

I got rid of a cargo net, redline oil, Nissan ester oil and Z1 red MAF tubes at the meet this past weekend.

You can see what it looks like at 2010 Nissan 370Z | WeatherTech TechShade custom fit sun shade sun visor cars, trucks, SUV, CUV, minivan | WeatherTech.com Though it is not shown there on a Z. But the fitment and the look is well represented there.

It is aluminum and fits the Z1 34 row cooler perfectly. If you want it and are going to make it to a MAZOC meet soon, let me know, and I'll try to get it to you.

That would be awesome! I have work this weekend, but next weekend I should be free.

Thank you!

Nope, eastwest2300 can have it if he wants it.

Is having an oil cooler in cold temperatures a known problem? Is the plate more of a "must have" thing if my Z is my daily driver?

(I get so frustrated with Nissan sometimes! Make a sports car that can't be tracked without overheating, then the fix to that needs another part because I live in a place that has winter...grrr...)

Thanks!

Hey girl! Do it yourself. Block off a few hours on the weekend. Look up the DIY. it is very thorough and full of specific details. Most importantly, it gets you familiar with your Z! If I did it, so can you!

That is uber badass, a woman that can work on their own car...

Aside from aftermarket tires, yes.

(The previous owner put in a dual pop-charger air intake system, but to my knowledge that's the only thing he changed.)

If it were up to me I wouldn't mod the car at all, but I do want to track her -- and take her up the NJ Turnpike over Memorial Day weekend -- without overheating, so it seems that the oil cooler is necessary.
