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

ZeNato · 10-05-2014, 04:02 PM

painted my CF fenders... maybe its just my gun but it was really orange-peely. Tomorrow I'll be sanding and installing!

So much Z driving the last two weeks.

Washed Harry on Thursday. Wax on friday. Cars and coffee on saturday. Drove to lunch today. Wash again. Under cover safe and sound waiting on a final sunshiney day to drive.

I love Harry.

I installed new Stillen 3 intakes.

Not sure if the dude in the Charger wanted me to race him or if he was trying to say nice car. He passed me on the left and his hit his brakes in some weird patterns. I don't understand tailight Morse code.

Had the car wash place I usually go to for hand washes buff out the clear bra and most of the marks from the debris are gone.

It's difficult to see the remaining marks, but a little easier to see the slight dent in the hood.

The car and wheels look so good clean... it's been so long since they have been.

I don't know if there are any "codes" for brake lights. I know there are for headlights:

Usually one flash of headlights means to turn your lights on or your brights off.

Multiple flashes means 5-0 ahead, slow down.

As for tails, if I see them tapping frantically, then that means to slow down RADAR/5-0 ahead (which is what I do). Or they're just retarded as ****.

I defaulted to thinking they were just retarded. Just trying to make a joke about it.

Axle click has reared its head in my Z after nearly 60K miles. Trying to decide whether to hassle with the dealer to see if they'll take care of it for free or go ahead with juld0zer's DIY.

kenchan · 10-06-2014, 10:29 AM

thought the axle click was just torquing up the hub nut to 110ft/lbs or something on the driver side?

i think the true way is to pack it with grease or something.. havent looked into it since ive not had this issue.

JARblue · 10-06-2014, 10:32 AM

Neither one of those seems to be a permanent fix though. The DIY replaces the axle nut completely. However, the grease might be the best way since mine lasted over 55K miles before it started. Anyone have a link to the TSB that refers to this? I can't seem to find it.

kenchan · 10-06-2014, 10:39 AM

if you can't find it here, i think check the 350z/G35c sites as well. GL, mr.jar
