A bunch of us had issues with our 350z batteries, I think mine didn't even last two years

Good coastal cruise Sat, probably my favorite section of PCH from Fort Ross to Leggett. The last 21 miles from PCH to Leggett is enough to sastify even the die hard for twists and turns. I rank it # 1 for the West Coast Canyon Carvers. We had the road to ourselves with perfect weather. It does not get any better than this!

PM me your addie.

I was not happy with the Koni Yellows on my Z33 paired up with H&R springs. Compared to a set of KW3's that are fully adjustable w compression/rebound, not limited to only compression like the Koni Yellows. Maybe Koni's are good for the track, but too harsh of a ride for DD imo.

I am hoping for a new reworked strut on the 2012 Z34 to swap out with my 09OEM struts paired up with Swifts.

Darn I was hoping to get away with the end pieces also....hummm cost just went up another $90+25. Still want these.

Nice, I was up there three weeks ago, then up PCH to Point Reyes Station. Try the stretch form Fort Ross to Leggett, that will wring out the Z.
