What did you do with your Z today II

kenchan · 03-12-2012, 05:48 PM

very nice, mr.onzedge!

im glad you like the koni's. i just don like spring-only setups regardless of swifts or not, it's just half-arsed imho.

Yeah, but for an old fart like me, coilovers, with their height-adjustment and corner-balancing requirements seem like too big a pain in the ______.

nono, i think you read my post wrong.

spring + damper set = good. (your setup)

spring only setup = half arsed.

Oh I get it. Yes, my setup is pretty much ideal now, IMO.

Oh well, I at least had an opportunity to editorialize about coil-overs.

I think that owning this car was my destiny. It sat in the dealer's lot for 4 months with no takers. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it online! Bought it almost 3 months ago. Got lucky with all of the great "winter" weather, too. Because of the weather, I was actually able to drive it!

The Z actually comes with Bridgestone Potenza RE050a. The previous owner of your ride upgraded!

Congrats Mr. onzedge

Glad you like them. Im about a month from my install, I think. Im calling my dealer tomorrow to schedule a service. My trans needs to be looked at. Hopefully I dont get too much hassle and they opt to throw a new trans in it. I was just out experimenting so I can tell the dealer how to accurately replicate the prob. I got my 5th gear to grind on the downshift EVERY time. If I rev match it is fine but if Im at lets say 60mph, which is the speed I was testing from and I downshift from 6th to 5th fast it grinds every single time.

I really dont look forward to fighting with the dealer over this. I also hope it gets in the shop and fixed quickly as I still have a pile of mods I need to get on before ZDAYZ, which is rapidly approaching. About 2 months away.

Good luck with the tranny issue.

happytheman · 03-12-2012, 06:31 PM

Yup, hope you get that tranny straightened out!

Hey Mr. Onzedge, did you know you have shocks that are yello in color? They sure look mighty tasty! I'm digging em! I wonder, what improvements (if any) would I realize if I just replaced my factory shocks with Konis?

ZMan8 · 03-12-2012, 07:01 PM

Mr. Onzedge, great pictures. How visible is the yellow with the wheels back on the car?
