blah, you dont need TPMS. i dont use them on my G or my Z. i check psi every other week or so especially when temps are changing this time of year. 1psi change per 10F change. TPMS usually triggers at 28psi which is toooooo low. sidewall damage.

juruki- nice wheels. you will like them for sure. which offset/sizes did you get? mine are 19x9 ET38 (running 5mm spacer) and 19x10.5 ET15.
+1 Juruki the wheels look great!

I check mine every week as well.

i found that if one checks too frequently on those cheezy rubber valve stems the stems themselves can actually break. lol! hope your wheels have metal valve stems and keep the cap only lightly tight.

last thing you want is the stem loosening up due to nut backing out inside the wheel. hahaha.

Almost go nailed by a lane changer on the way home last night getting onto the highway. Slammed on the brakes and moved onto the shoulder
Almost go rear ended by a Cadilac on the way in to work this morning in the fast lane on the highway when the traffic came to an abrupt stop. He changed lanes last second and I moved over to the shoulder. He was pretty darn close.

It's a jungle out there man!

thx! I have 19x9.5 +15, 19x10.5 +15. Gonna run a 20mm spacer in the rear to make it -5 offset. Hopefully I don't have to run that much camber to clear...

Any one have experience with QuickSilver brand car covers? How are they? I just want a light custom fit one that repels
water (blowing snow that might get inside garage).

Time to move to a warmer climate where the lovely Z can frolic all year round!

I don't know much about that brand, but I do have one of these: NOAH®

While I haven't had a chance to use it (in storage with the rest of my household goods) the cover does appear to be very well made and looked like it won't do any damage to the paint if the car is clean. The inside of the cover feels exceptionally soft.

Hey gang! Been absolutely slammed over the last six weeks or so and out of town quite a bit. I did drive the Z to dinner night before last. She is filthy and needs a good bath. Maybe this weekend... Hope you are all doing well!

Hello to you, sir! Hope everything is going well. I haven't really done anything car or car photo related in a while. I was even out of town for our last C&C. I have some catching up to do.

yah, i use to live in LA long time ago and it was definitely nice. but i grew up where i am today so it's kinda like the homey place with good schools for kids, nice community, great neighbors (minus indian dood down the street with green yaris) etc.

thanks for the info and link. yah, i was looking at the noah one too. decided to go with the quick silver this time as i got a great deal on it and it will only be used inside the garage... the only time my Z really needs it is when i open the garage to pull out my G to go to work on a windy snow blowing day.

coool. that GTR button is once nice candy to have in the car. i always liked the red starter button on the S2K's. that is one car i was very very close to buying (S2KCR), but didn't.

no Z action today but looking forward to getting my tracking number for that car cover sooooon.
i got a rattle coming from the rear passenger side on my G. need to check if it's something in the trunk or my suspension needs a little TLC...
