What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

JARblue · 01-22-2018, 04:02 PM

Drove it hard for nearly 30 minutes trying to forget about the busted pipe in my foundation leaking into the house. It worked as long as I was teetering on the brink of traction. Unfortunately there was too much traffic to really push that threshold on public roads and fuel starve continues to be an issue with over 1/2 tank of gas

There are several CJM products I have on the list. But that RRP kit definitely falls into the category of necessary upgrade now that the Z is no longer my daily

Unfortunately, I'm probably looking at spending a hefty chunk of change on a plumber in the coming days to fix a slab leak

See if some store has a thread pitch gauge and get one in metric & SAE. It will save accidentally destroying a bolt...

It was M12 1.25... they all were. Bracket bolts, caliper pine, lug nuts. I got the right tap and die and chased every one of them. Car reassembled like buttah.

Brakes made a little grind sound last night so I dropped a grand on more stuff. Figured I should have a brake change kit on the shelf at home for when I need it.

Diff Fluids
Trans Fluids
Brake Pads and Rotors
Rear sub frame collars

Keeping Z1 and Tirerack in business.

Poking my head in... it's been a long while. I'll be getting rid of the Z soon, hopefully.

Time to get out of this 6MT and into something with some bells and whistles (and cargo space - no, not family cargo though, that's not happening), but not as much fun on the butt dyno.

Nice!

I'll be out of town. :/

This long distance relationship stuff is taxing flying so often, haha. Soon enough she'll be out here permanently.

Now I'm starting to have thoughts of, "Man, the new car won't be like the Z. What will I do with my other hand all the time?"

How can I have buyers remorse before even ordering the damn thing? lol

Right on! Glad to hear the romance is still going strong. Lol, I hear ya about the Z...I love the car and every now and then I think about all the cars out there and what they have to offer and then I drive mine and think what are they going to provide my Z doesn't and are they really any better. I can tell you after riding in my buddy's 1le Camaro, both at the track and on the street I will take the Z every time. LOL, I just wish it sounded as good as his Camaro. Nothing like a cammed out LS engine with headers.

Today I was particularly annoyed by the fact that sport rays don't have left and right. As if I can see both sides at once... On another note, anyone selling v2 nismo wheels? I want them for my z32.
