What did you do with your Z today II

ZForce · 02-12-2012, 12:32 PM

Passenger window will not drop down enough when door is opened. It started after the oil cooler install.....odd. One, that I do not recall the battery terminals disconnected and two, since the passenger window was down before the install. Don't recall having to reset the clock on the dash, so that rules out the battery terminal being disconnected. At any rate the normal reset did not work. The door panel will have to be taken apart and hopefully the dealer can reset it on the window motor or whatever they called it. If not a new window motor will be ordered. Luckily they stock them because they have seen more than a few come in with the same issue. I would have thought Nissan would have got it right after the 350Z issue. Guess not, just like the rear hatch springs.

At about midnight I was finished. It could have gone a lot faster but I stopped for dinner, and was doing it solo for the first time. All in all now that I have done it once it would not take nearly as long to do it a second time. The instructions provided by Z1 are pretty good. Sorry for the crappy pics. One of the items that I was scouting on my domestic excursion was a new camera. No choice made but I got my eye on the Canon Powershot S100 that recently came out.

Sounds like it's the busiest day of the week for you bro! LOL

Do you already have the370z.com stickers on that little side window? If not, perhaps snug the Z1 sticker in teh corner of each one. Are they vinyl?

Happy Sunday my fellow Z lovers. Hope everyone is making the most out of their days and if the weather permits getting some time behind the wheel of there Z or whatever vehicle they happen to enjoy driving. Mr. Happy below is the link to my review on the Z1 Post MAF tubes when i recieve my K&N drop-ins I will update it again.

I keep holding out on washing my car - every time the weather looks like it will be nice, it is forecasted to rain or snow the next day! WHAT DO I DO!?#

i was thinking about no-rinsing my G but light snow expected this week so putting off until next weekend when Sat is suppose to hit 40F+

i still prefer bucket wash if at all possible over no-rinse.

That's the trickiest decision in Winter, To Wash or Not To Wash....

Like kenchan, I prefer the bucket wash too, or go to coin wash(in Winter).

Can't wait to wash and wax the Z on the driveway again in Summer!!

mrcoolguyface · 02-12-2012, 04:43 PM

I never wash any of my vehicles in winter... And I've never seen any damage doing this. To each their own though, I suppose.

Fow now I left the undertray off so that I can drive it around for a few days to double check on leaks easily. The test in the garage was leak free but I want be sure before I put that tray back on.

Also prior to wrapping everything up last night I sprayed PB blaster on my Cat bolts with the plan of installing my Motordyne ART pipes today.

Nice install, I've been eyeing the S95, was hoping the price would drop after the S100 came out but it went up after X-mas and keeps getting higher on amazon

It was $299 before x-mas and now I can't get myself to pay any more for it

good to hear he's doing well ...I feel his pain, haven't been able to normally drive my Z since spraining my clutch ankle a week ago. Just came back from a drive and it's throbbing

I don't deal with snow but when the rains come I end up washing a couple times a week at the coin wash. I usually start twitching after the rain leaves water spots on the Z so as soon as it clears up I drive straight to the coin wash. I've learned that as long as the car is waxed well a touchless wash with the low pressure soap, high pressure soap, high pressure rinse, low pressure rinse cleans it up really well and only takes about 10 minutes.

In my new place we're renting, we do have a hose here so I don't have to use no-rinse anymore. It's not the rinsing that's the problem, it's being outside for more than 5 minutes
