Saturday, I replaced my handbrake hardware on the rear axle. turns out i was down to the metal on the parking brake, lol. Unfortunately that warped my 2 piece hat and i couldn't get it on after installing the new hardware and shoes. Thankfully I had some used blanks from my mom's car, so i cleaned them up and threw them on. i'll probably just go to regular 1-piece slotted in the rear when i refresh the rotors next year.

I had the front wheel clicking sound for a while and finally fixed that. The hub ring was seized onto the hub itself, so I had to cut it off. Took the rotor off and did a quick clean and used some copper grease before putting evertything back together. It's much better. The passenger side was not as bad, but I cleaned around the hub and greased it as well.

Currently running 93-octane and the car just feels SLOW haha. Small price to pay to keep everything running well. I'll go back to E85 once that tank is done.

Took it to the shop since getting slipping on 2nd/3rd gear 3500-4500 rpm. Looks like my Os Giken STR only lasted about 19 months and 4-5k miles and now needs a rebuild. :\

At least my Z1 sunshade came after 2 months (got it last week after ordering Sep 7).

which shop did you go to? im also in socal so would be nice to see where other Z enthusiasts go to for work on their cars!

Picking the body kit tomorrow. Went with black all black on the wing instead of the gray, and small difference in how the side skirt two-tone is done.

Bonus: client’s 190E Evo II with center lock and AP BBK is heading back home. Shop is using that real one as measurement to build a clone for the same owner.

Rjk370z · 11-29-2024, 04:06 PM

^^Wow. Beautiful 190E!

I wonder if this is MZ BETTY's old car

Ordered the Zspeed cmak kit. Also went with their Stage 2 clutch kit.

I did notice on track my clutch going to the floor on hot days. So a little of proactive maintenance before I get stranded.

TreeSemdyZee · 01-28-2025, 06:26 AM

My buddy made me some keychains.

Rjk370z · 02-10-2025, 06:34 PM

Got the cmak and clutch kit installed. Definitely smoother clutch action than before. The single mass/lighter flywheel is interesting. Car starts up much easier and cruising in 6th gear is a bit different. Need to breakin this clutch before next month track event.

I love my Exedy Stage 1 w/ Single mass LWFW. Def perks up the car. I love the faint sound of flywheel chatter on idle!

I did some weight loss mods:

1. Finally removed rear spare tire, tools, and Bose sub
2. Z1 Front Strut bar
3. Powertex LI battery
4. Ohlins TTX 2-ways

Should add up to about -65lbs. Just in time for the new suspension install
