Took her for a spirited drive today through some back roads, as a break from work. :-)

Did you notice anything different in shifting? Some have said the synthetics smooth it out some. I am waiting to do all the non engine fluids to this winter, with amsoil synthetics. Except brake and clutch to motul.

Yes, definitely smoother shifting after the fluid change. Got rid of a lot of the notchiness I'd felt initially.

I know people have differing opinions about Amsoil, Redline etc; but my pops lived by Amsoil fluids as a long haul truck driver, so I thought I'd keep that going.

I ordered the EBC brake package from ZSpeed and bought their HD CSC and OEM CMC. Ships today.

Very excited for next week.

I was a horrible Z owner... I did nothing with Belle yesterday. It was a great day and she sat in the garage all day, because her owner had a migraine....



Better now, so today!!!!!!

Flashing air bag light on the instrument panel this morning. The car is 2011 daily driven with 70K miles. No recent interior modifications that would have triggered it. I tried the reset procedure several times to no avail. Tried several code readers from basic to fairly advanced with no codes thrown (no surprise there). Open to suggestions before I have to take to the dealer

Sounds like passenger seat button/trigger malfunction?

Mine did something similar. Was having issues getting it latched, and passenger air bag off light was lit up when my wife was sitting in the seat. I sprayed a bit of electronics cleaner into the seat belt and it seemed to smooth out the button and fix the air bag light issue.

Hi fellow enthusiasts,

New to the forum. Bought a 2012 vert sport 7AT, black, last month. I've wanted a Z ever since I was 16 in 1995 and my uncle bought a 300zx. I still drool over that car and think it's the most beautiful non exotic ever made.

So today I installed the Sprint Booster. Please no hate mail I realize it's not a performance mod but I love almost everything about the Z except the road noise with the top up and the delayed throttle response. The SB completely "fixed" the throttle. It's near perfect now.

I absolutely love this car. It's definitely the best car I've ever owned and most fun. I did have a really nice Acura CL Type S for a while that was more practical and still pretty quick. No Z though.
