What did you do with your Z today

fullmonty · 08-19-2010, 12:05 PM

Drove it to the barbers

kenchan · 08-19-2010, 01:04 PM

haven't seen my Z yet today...

oh wait, i did when i took the trash out....

Red__Zed · 08-19-2010, 01:26 PM

drove it to my new apartment in charlottesville....

shoopajae10 · 08-19-2010, 03:23 PM

have it checked by an insurance adjuster for an estimate. =(

kenchan · 08-29-2010, 12:22 PM

Motored my Z and did the first oil change. I think figuring out how to reset the damn reminder took me more time.

owners manual sucks.

If anyone's in the same situation (middle aged and can't figure out technology) here it is:

Get into the Maintenance screen (need to do both oil and filter separately)

Keep pushing the buttons until you are able to highlight the current milage
Then just hit the top button and let go. No need to hold down buttons like on most other cars.

Should say 0/3000 when you get it right. You can also change the interval which is easy to do.

Used Mobil1 silver cap and nissan oem filter.

Dreamed about what its gonna sound like with the FI exhaust once it comes. But other then that I have not seen her all day. She's sleeping in the garage.

I motored my Z and came home with Z + cuticle scissors in my rear tire.

Not sure if repairable, at tire store now... Wish me luck.

It'll be fine so long as the puncture(s) isn't(aren't) in the sidewall region.

It was close to the inner sidewall but they patched it.
Went to store with Z wheel and puncture, puncture fixed but now 5 small gauges on the spokes.

(was expected though)

Juleous- Yah, it was nearby a strip mall. I've had so many punctures through my driving yrs I can tell just by the sound it makes. Lol

Atleast I can drive it tomorrow again.

After a good long Canyon Run Yesterday, she came back home with dead bugs and bug splatter all over the front end and windshield. I gave her a badly needed Wash and she's nice and clean now!

kenchan · 09-08-2010, 10:06 PM

so i fixed the worst gauge i had in the wheel spoke from the recent tire repair bozo fix...

didn't take the before pict because my bb froze and was too pissed to wait for it to reload.

so i went head and filed down the raised portion of the damage from the tire mounter dork mishap (they have the right hunter tire mounter but the arse who did the repair was careless). then used 400grit sand paper, then 1500 grit sand paper, and tried 8 different kinds of metallic paints all with fail...

so i pulled out my foil tape, mounted it onto the spoke, rubbed brake dust as compound onto the foil to lessen gloss and to slightly polish to get the dark deep color to match the wheel's hypersilver color. i think turned out pretty good. my wife could not tell where i did the repair even outside in the sun.

can you tell inside the red circle?

another angle...

here is a template of the foil tape i used... it covers the entire inner side of the spoke... lol

Hopped a fvcking curb and scraped underside of side skirt

npdabest · 09-09-2010, 12:08 AM

I went to the post office to send a package.
From there it was to Boscovs to go buy a fridge they had on sale.
Went back to college and after hitting the gym, my cousin and I went to Texas Roadhouse.
