This piece looks really nice, and it is super tempting for me. There are a few things I have beef with:

How does it affect the wear on the already crappy syncros we have in that gearbox?
The shift knob isn't the same thread pitch as the standard one, so i wouldn't be able to use my fancy custom Ti knob from Lathewerks

In other news, My wheels should be here today, the rear tires should be here tomorrow, and i have a clutch master going out on me again (thankfully I knew this would happen and bought a new OEM one years ago and stored it inside.)

I realize they have a Tilton one out now for our cars, but considering I just emptied a good portion of my bank account, i'll just have someone install the OEM one for now.

Edit: Also going to Winding Road Racing for the car's first ever corner balance.

RJM (not RJ Manufacturing) has a heavy duty clutch master cylinder

I'll be interested to hear about your experience at Winding Road Racing

LOL i'm aware (it's tilton branded so i went with that)

Also WR is pretty good with the work they do. Sometimes i get the impression some of the techs are "disinterested" in working on the car if it's minor crap (like flushing my clutch pedal), but maybe that's how I'm interpreting it. i'm closer to them than SoulSpeed at the moment (like cycling distance), so while I had an excellent experience with SS, they're way out of the way.

I'm likely going to RoundRock Nissan to get the master replaced b/c i have a coupon on my counter lol.

abm89 · 03-28-2019, 08:04 PM

Finally!

I only did a rough weight estimate of the rear 19x11. Just under 18 pounds.

No idea if extra wear, as far as the knob, just get another custom one made with the 12 x 1.5 thread adapter.

abm89 · 03-28-2019, 09:25 PM

Lol I likely won't right away. That Ti is expensive

mishuko · 03-29-2019, 09:37 AM

Getting a detailing appointnent for the weekend (calling for rain too)

Little too cold for me to do myself and i was a jerk and didnt bave it cleaned before storage.

Need to figure out a fluids change... also lazy arsed and didnt do it before storage. Oil and then change the clutch/brake to rbf 1000 minus 400

JARblue · 03-29-2019, 10:18 AM

I got 2 bottles of that RBF1000 (minus 400)
It's good stuff!

Wish I new of a local detailer I trust enough

Ghostvette · 03-29-2019, 10:25 AM

Mine's going to get tint and detailed next month.

I found a detailer that is associated with the local Z club and does great work, plus he owns a 93 300zx.

Mine's back in the garage on the tender, it's raining and this weekend they are calling for snow (WTF?!?!?!?!) on Sunday....

There are a ton of good detailers in Houston. Just not in austin lol. It's definitely not a car city.

You got it lol

abm89 · 03-29-2019, 11:08 AM

I haven't had any issues with 660 for the brakes on the street, but my car is biased more towards track use. I till use 600 for the clutch.

edit: Jar you cheeky bastard. I see what you did.

JARblue · 03-29-2019, 12:27 PM

The trade off for the higher boiling point of the 660 is that it collects moisture content a bit quicker than the 600. So the question is whether a higher boiling point or a longer fluid change interval is more important to you.
