Well, the weather here was perfect... temps in the mid 70's, a little cloud cover mixed with sun... and me sitting at home doing nothing... so, I decided a little trip in the Z, newly equipped with Michelin Super Sports, would be in order... My GAWD those tires so improve the car's handling ... the Z seems to be on rails - 90 degree turns might as well be straight lines. The road trip, 45 minutes out and back on country roads and Interstate just made my day...I've been waiting so long to put these tires on the car (waiting on the Goodyear OEM's to expire), that it's almost like my birthday. Hah.. not to mention my garage smells of newly broken in tires... yeah, grinning ear to ear as I write this...

registered for the zdayz!
now I just need a warm day so I can do a full wash, clay, wax, interior clean and tire dressing. probably do a quick wax job before the journey as well but then I think it won't really matter as the front will turn into a giant fly swapper. |

ouch... I swiggle the gear shifter and keep the clutch down till the engine stabilizes instead of the crank and clutch drop.
hope the repair's won't be that bad. or maybe upgrade to a different bumper? oh and I think you might want to check your alignment :S |

Awful. Duct tape until fixed. They sell red ones.

^^ Sorry to hear....good luck with repairs!
This is why I never park in gear.... Besides that, got a set of new tires on, car is at 14k. Got direzza ZII star specs and will use the remainder of tread left on the crappy OEM RE050A's to do a nice drift and throw in trash The car should have come with better tires OEM, at least something like the Yoko's on the Nismos....feels like a different car with proper tires |

Changed the differential gear oil to redline 75 90,changed the tranny fluid to redline mt85, and bleed clutch over to motul 600. Thx to some great diy posts and help from friends. The test drive after was great nice firm feel to the clutch shifting is smoother. Well worth the time and effort. to those who's efforts made this almost easy thx
