Maybe I should make a How-To video?

I think you should

I believe it would be well received by the community. A real Public Service Announcement, if you will!

G2Z- did your nismo knob come with that black base that fits between the knob and boot?

98intrigue · 05-07-2011, 09:37 PM

I talked about driving it

Red__Zed · 05-07-2011, 10:20 PM

took it out on a quick jaunt. I'm really loving the swift springs!

SmoothZ · 05-07-2011, 10:37 PM

The 370 on Swift springs look fanfuckintastic.

Oh, and I put over a 100 miles on my Z today. Found some awesome roads and mostly led a caravan of 30 Z's and G's.

That's a pretty good caravan! Sounds like good times.

As a follow up to my earlier post....

I actually only drove my Z 1 1/4 miles each way to pick up the (hopefully) winning Lottery and Powerball tix.

Happy... at first I was cringing after reading your posts about Z washing. Then as I got into it, I thought to myself... PLEASE PLEASE be a joke...

If it wasn't a joke, Ken would have to sell you on all his Griots stuff...

Ken, I responded to your pm

sorry took so long, was on road yesterday.

Yes, the black base o ring comes with it! It needs it... it serves as the transition (and barrier) between the knob itself and the boot. I think someone said to put the o ring UNDER the knob, but I don't think it looked right that way. The o ring has a taper to transition the smaller diameter knob to the larger diameter boot. You'll see what I mean when you put it on.

So THAAAAAAT's why you got the strap wrench?!?!?!

Go for the Ti knob Ken!!! I LOVEEEEEE it.

Oh yah, I'll be honest with you..I'm still getting my methodology in place for my Z. Right now I do perform a two bucket wash, with a leaf blower dry and then a QD with microfiber cloth to ensure that there's no water spots.

What I'm still working through are the "best fit" products to use regarding total car care..from wheel cleaner/wax, to tire cleaner/dressing, to paint polish/wax, to interior care (including leather) and glass cleaners. It's a bit of a testing grounds right now, but eventually I'll have it dialed in!

Mounted up some fat meat on the sport rims and just got in the mail some camera mount goodies.

kenchan · 05-08-2011, 12:07 PM
