I have 3 gallons left! It can be watered down to be a GREAT QD or full strength as a wash. Good stuff.

but most of the car i use SpeedShine.
thanks kenchan!
I do not have any sprayon car wash on hand so i guess the Griots will have to do today ...

And madwo/davenue: where do i get the stuff you guys are recommending?

This morning I took my console apart again to replace the small rubber boot in my shifter assembly. When I originally installed my shift knob, I think the boot got rotated somehow. When I installed my short shifter last week, the boot was tore up pretty good after over a year of driving. So I ordered a replacement one ($15) last week, picked it up Thursday, and just finished installing it

Just saw this Vik, congrats on them taking care of you

It was so weird when you posted what happened awhile back but I'm glad you worked it out

I cleaned my Gen III air filters for the first time in 5 months and not as bad as my altimas in 3 months. I also removed my cubby door in preps for a new CF job.

Went and got baseline dyno done. Will post screenshot of the graphs in a bit but on a Dynojet, no mods on my Nismo, 4 pulls, no tuning: 303 hp, 269 tq

Was plesantly surprised, really only anticipated 285-290.

303/269 good or was I unfairly pessimistic?

I think those are fairly normal numbers for DynoJet. The 280's are typical of the Mustang Dyno.

Got the brakes and clutch bled today. The fluid that came out of the clutch was black... guess it's boiled a few times....

Someone should come clean my Z for me, I hate cleaning. Rofl.

This is a crappy picture of the printoff but will get better posted when they send over the file. They were closing up shortly after I left so they are probably sending over Monday.

I was driving on the Mass pike today doing about 85..okay the speed limit is 65..slight mistake on my part..

Suddenly i heard a strange noise in the car..one I was not familiar with,,My wife asked, "What is that?" and I looked at the detector and it read "LASER"

I remembered what someone told me a few months back,,they have to take two readings before they can nail you.. I hit the breaks and dropped to 60 as the detector stopped for a second and then started up again....Two hits.. But i was going 60 for the second attack..

Saw the bogie hidden ahead on the right and behind some bushes...he did not chase me..

I am one happy and lucky bastard! He would have nailed me and my wife would have joined in my de-nuttification.

Washed it, and found a few more rock dings, a new bird poop stain (must have been stomach acid), stained the paint , and kind of got depressed at all the DD BS my car has been thru since I bought it.
When I got it was flawless, a garage queen. Now it's a scarred adventurer!
