doing exactly the speed limit. im like i frikken saw you the whole time you were backing into your spot.

not that i was speeding anyway.

Sometimes stupid cops work to your advantage. Sometimes they don't.

But I do love when a person's stupidity provides free entertainment, which is what you ran into

My research indicates there is a TSB for the 350Z but not the 370Z...

Yup... dealer said they would regrease for no charge within 3yr/36Kmi. Yet another issue that should be covered under the powertrain, but Nissan refuses.

I will be replacing the axle nut with a Kawasaki part per this DIY: FIXED: Rear axle click clunk noise

JARblue · 10-06-2014, 12:28 PM

Ordered Kawasaki axle nuts this morning for my 370Z

Good news! My parts are scheduled to arrive soon. Hopefully by end of week or early next week parts will be at my doorsteps.

so if we put them all together it's a perfect example of my drinking life.

Fast, easy, and bunga (the sound of me passing out on something soft...)

and even better news!!!! The insurance company has ok'd OEM windshield!

My bodyshop guy said the low km and year means they would. If it was an older year/higher mileage they would probably want aftermarket.

Oh well! Waiting until tomorrow to get the estimates and now hopefully get the car for the weekend!

He's an honest mechanic. He primarily does body/paint work and is doing some extra 'goodwill' for my car as well. I can't complain at the way he's handled my case and also the thoroughness of his explanation. He is defintely a rare breed!

kenchan · 10-06-2014, 04:47 PM

at oem windshield.

Finally after procrastinating to replace my over 5yr old battery I went to Sears, and bought a 4 year warranty platinum battery.

The days of this costing about $60 is long gone

Changed it while HOT as FUK!! is another story.
