You are fine, no worry....

I'm itching to take the Z out with weather so nice. But, it's still in the garage being corrected. I thought I might get the correction finished today, then I decided to take the rear spoiler off so I could remount it using silicone instead of the 3M automotive tape I was using... That "little" job put me back a few hours.

I was just checking in during a lunch break. Have a great day everyone


Mr.kenchan

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Hey all!

I think a bath is in order as well as a nice coat of wax today. It's the start of Lovebug season and there's nothing like a good coat of wax to help combat that situation.

Hmm, this looks normal,



Hey! Wait a minute!



Something isn't right,



Apparently it's common for these to fail, so I was kind of expecting it, just not so soon. I only used this pad for the hood and roof. Boo! Good thing they come in packs of two.

Here's a teaser, getting work done...

Pm how much you want for it! I've been looking for one!

Mmmmmmm, servers and workstations... I remember the days and years of working on those.

It's all networks for me now.

Here she is yesterday, being the designated moving van! I give you......the Cisco 3845 Router
I love using the Z for odd utility transport We have a very small firm - 4 people - and no official IT support. I am the Guy Friday and just so happens that I am computer hardware and software savvy.

Turns out there is a rather large ding where the paint went down and it now shows like a sore thumb. He offered to fix it but since I might be upgrading to a kit at some point, I said fvck it. You can only notice it from just the right angles. Also, the spot under the fog light was missed and I wasn't able to get a pic of it after it was corrected. I'm happy with it for now.
Lookin good as well, Tracie Paint or powercoat engine cover and strut bar next?

Finally after I lift my foot off the break pedal it stops revving. Keep in mind it didn't start till the initial clutch in and then didn't stop until my foot was off the break. My foot was no where near the gas and my mats don't even touch the gas pedal. I have to bring it into nissan to get it checked out.

That sucks man. I have to think that its related to SRM. Did you try turning off SRM while it was reving? I wonder...
