Don't laugh - flat spots

SmoothZ · 05-02-2010, 11:15 PM

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!

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, 08:25 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.
