What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

enkei2k · 04-07-2014, 11:22 AM

not today, but over the weekend:

passed inspection and changed most fluids (engine oil, trans, brake, diff.)

car feels a lot more responsive now for some reason. Switched from Redline to Motul...maybe it's just because it's fresh oil.

oh well

Buffed it out with a Porter Cable DA polisher and M205, followed by Meguiar's carnauba wax. It looks like a new car! The red metallic shines through and the swirls are gone. It's a long process but the paint wasn't that bad so I started with M205 rather than M105.

Picked up my TOP SPEED cat back exhaust.

Sent while driving!

Hit 10k miles on the way to work. Not too bad for a 2 yr old car.

Dropped my Z off at the (Trusted) dealership for a performance alignment and LSD install

Bossless1 · 04-07-2014, 05:20 PM

Just ordered all silicone replacement hoses for under the hood! The guys at Z1 don't play. I'm a shopper - they had to adjust a few items, but they beat every competitors price - significantly enough to matter - on every piece I bought! Much appreciated :-) Good job Z1

Hopefully I'll get them in 2 weeks like they promised

Received these today from Japanparts.com
Very fast process. From order date to delivery took exactly 11 days. Not bad

I like your nuts.

Powdercoated my intakes and installed them. Also, installed my GTM oil cooler; it's a pain when you don't have the right tools, haha.

I wanted to ask. I put half a quart of oil into the setrab core and put 5.5 quarts into my engine. I started and checked for any leaks. I warmed her up and drove around a bit, then came and checked oil and I'm between "low" and "high". Does that sound right?
