yah, i did the steering lock replacement (check out the DIY section) and tried out the PWJDM knob.

looks moronic here but this is because i didnt feel like working on the knob today and just placed it over the nismo knob's rubber piece.

the knob feels good, but the decorative strip in the middle eats at my hand... any way to smooth this thing out a little without using sand paper or a file?

Mr.kenchan

nice hand-warmer on a hot summer day.

lol

I had the day off again so I motored over to a surf spot I haven't been to in a very long time, surfed for about two hours and took this pic afterwards

how much you want for lessons? I'm a good swimmer.

Installed splash guards today since they were not on the car when I bought it from the dealer. The Z is ready for some spacers now.

I also played around with some 25mm spacers I had to see what they would look like on the stock rear wheels. A little too much for my taste. I'm thinking 15mm front and 20mm rear. Or even 10mm front and 15mm rear.

^Looks good, your splash guards are so much nicer than the ones for that came for the 350z!

It's not the swimming part that you will need to manage it's the unrelenting ridiculously cold water.

martin- looks good.

waizzz- nice scenery!

hey so i filed the decorative part of the PWJDM knob a little bit (actually, it took me like 1hr not to scuff up the brushed area.

and the mt.fuji didn't look bad so i just kept it like this. i put a little plastic ring i had in my parts bin to raise the boot a little bit. perfect fit.

(crappy droid pict...)

kenchan · 12-26-2011, 11:02 PM

pedz- those splashguards are looking good!

yah, if i was to do it i would do 15/15 spacers. im currently running ET33/ET15 (while the rear is 10.5 on my weds), imho the offset looks perfect for stock height.

Funny that you mention that... I was just thinking about doing a 15/15 setup. It seems like even the 20mm would stick out a little too much on the rears. Thanks for the input!
