Did the GTR start button mod. Took 2 min so anyone on the fence about doing this, it's easy as can be!

Also got my oil test kit from blackstone, going to be sending my 15k oil change sample off to see how engine is doing, I'm running Motul btw

which Motul?, was running the 8500 excess5w40 in the 997, good oil.

astro932 · 03-26-2016, 11:41 AM

washed her for once lol

Leingod · 03-26-2016, 12:38 PM

Going to try and take the Z out of storage next to all of those damn Moostangs next weekend. That'll give me a week to do a fresh oil change, drive the flat spots out of the tires, add wheel spacers, find paint code to order spoiler, and hopefully finally order my ings+1 lip.

Weighed my coupe this am. 3400 lbs with full tank of gas. Gas is 120 lbs , so car weighs 3280, just like specs say.

Z_ealot · 03-26-2016, 06:12 PM

Drained the oil this morning, rerouted oil cooler lines to a better protected location, cleaned maf with maf cleaner and undid the o2 sensor connectors and maf connectors to give them a good cleaning with some qd electronics cleaner. Then installed new oil filter and refilled with 6 quarts of redline oil

kenchan · 03-26-2016, 07:35 PM

motored my Z today, had a good time.

definitely NOT running it in my G or Z in the future.

I don't know what oem was but before I went to the redline brand it was a lot worst in the cold getting into 1st and 2nd... I found double clutching helped but not by much lol
