I burn rubber to get rid of all my flat spots.

Even if I had 5 cars, I would choose to drive the Z EVERYDAY, except when it snows of course hehe. It's a 30-40k car, not a Lambo and its FUN to drive, man I'm so addicted !

Yup...mod, use and enjoy your car...the way you see fit!

I plan to use Flatstoppers for the winter months. And, 78% nitrogen is good enough for me. I don't see how repeatedly inflating your tires to 45-40 psi and then deflating to normal pressures so frequently is practical, other than saving money from not buying flatstoppers.

Thanks for the input folks. Didn't realize I was gonna strike a nerve because I don't drive my Z. Like I said I drive my wife's Z and then my DD so I rarely have time to drive my 40th. I have six kids so possibly one day somebody is going to get a nice present. HA!

Holy smokes...6 kids!?! How do you do it? I've got two and it's a handful. My older son (turning 5) already says that when he grows up he wants to drive my "new car", referring to the Z. He's got good taste!
:rofl2:

Oh damn no wonder you don't drive it much then! Your a lucky guy to have the wife you have letting you have a Z and then her having one herself!

Problem solved!

Now please let this thread die.

Or, maybe we can argue if it is proper to badge a G37/G35 as a Skyline...

Dumb question of the day. Do you just jack each end and place Flat Stopper under the tire? Looks like a great way to store the Z for long periods, and a car cover to boot.

...hmmm...I get bald tires, not flat spots! 365-day-a-year DD!!!

djpathfinder 05-04-2010 07:25 PM

You place them right in front/behind the tires and just drive up them.

i just jack up the car and place under the tire. reason is i dont have much space inside the garage so it's just easier for me to park the car where i want it for the hibernation first instead of guessing where it might stop.
