Went by body shop, car wont be ready till Friday as they are behind on the work. Just took it in for a polish and wax and have hood painted as previous owner seemed to have driven behind an 18 wheeler for hours and rocks chipped most of the hood.

Finally got around to replacing the upper intake/throttle body gaskets. Catch cans make a difference. Check out the lower manifold runners the first time i did a cleaning after about 70K miles (90k total) with no cans:

and this recent one at 114K miles with catch-cans installed for most of the time after. completely clean.

Dropped the Z off at the dealer for CSC replacement

Car has about 18K miles. Clutch was feeling a bit inconsistent at times, checked the reservoir and it was almost empty. Dealer confirmed that the clutch fluid was leaking.

ayrton88 · 06-20-2018, 04:37 PM

Took mine to the dealer to have brake and clutch fluid flushed and changed. GTR fluid for the clutch. I do this every 2 years. So far, knock wood, still on original CSC at 40K plus. I'm surprised Nissan doesn't recommend this service. When I had my BMW it was required every 2 years. Sold it when it was 10 years old and never had a problem with the clutch or brakes.

Swung by body shop to check on Shakira and was told they are behing and it wont be ready till this Friday. I am losing my patience w this body shop I have used for 20+ years and getting car and taking it somewhere else. i have had the car for 3 weeks since bought and 1.5 weeks there to have the hood repainted and car waxed and polished. Ugh.

Car just hit 21k miles. I've owned it since it had 4 miles lol. I did my first oil change because I was tired going to the stealership

Felt great! Only issue I had was using these sketchy rhino ramps -_- I had to ghetto rig it with some wood so it wouldn't scratch my bumper.

Buy a pair of Race Ramps, they're expensive but you'll be very glad you did. It's night and day compared to rhino ramps. Wide for our wheels, low angle of approach, and they don't slide at all.

Check their open box deals page once in a while and you may find a good deal. https://raceramps.com/ramp-category/open-box-deals/

56" ramps currently on there would be great, but they'll sell fast.

I have the 67" XT's and they're perfect. A little wider, and a little more lift.

I bought mine from Amazon, they are great. They have a strap on the big end so you can hang them on a hook in the garage.

Get the longest ones they make!. I have the 56" and have to use some wood in front of them to get my Nismo started up them.

I just noticed they make 72' now. Would be 62' and extenders.

Hotrodz · 06-21-2018, 12:42 PM

I have the 101", which is the two piece ramp to be able to get my Nismo on the car hauler, lol.
