Great stuff guys!

Congrats DLSTR!

Love the vid Mt Tam.

I agree the Z still has presence in the face of greatness.

Both the Z and the Echo, echo look good, onzedge...


No Zing for me today. We took the Xterra and the dog to Corolla/Corova Beach and put about 30 sand miles on her. What a blast!! My dog is exhausted. I love that truck. Almost four years/96k and not a rattle or squeak. Drove through a half a dozen washouts deep enough to cover the Nissan badge on the nose and she never even whimpered!!! Wife was pretty nervous though.

Love the vid Mt Tam.

I agree the Z still has presence in the face of greatness.

I'm excited to get an Xterra, no clue when it will be though..

Now that I have my exhaust on the car I've been bitten by the mod bug.

Curious to ask. I'm thinking of getting sway bars. I know most people say stillen for DD, hotchkis for track.

So that makes it pretty simple for me. Stillens... But then I see people also liking eibach sway bars. Anyone have an opinion between the two?

I am oblivious to the correct settings that should be used on sway bars. I'm looking to stiffen up the ride with a neutral feel(not dialing in extra understeer or oversteer)

I like to mount my go-pro on the drivers side under the Z side blinker. Gives a great view of my rims and suspension working. I also like to mount it inside the car on the rear windshield facing forward. You can see outside the front windshield and also me operating the car on the inside. You can even see my feet working the pedals

I tried the rear windshield but the rear view mirror distracts or gets in the way. Is their an angle where it works?

Yeah it does get in the way a bit. I like it cause of how much it gets the driver operating the car. Plus you can still see whats goin on outside. But yeah the mirror isnt ideal.

It was fun...so many people snapping their necks The Porsche is LOUD. All you hear are the turbos. Add that to the fact that it has a full TechArt kit on it, it gets a lot of looks...but he was driving behind me most of the time and he said everyone was looking at the Z. I think we were both just being humble.
