I drove it for the first time in 6 months!
After having the ZSpeed CSC and Wilwood master cylinder installed. It's a rocketship compared to anything I've driven for months. So in love again!
(Don't mind the 4x4 wheel gap in the rear. My driveway looks flat but isnt!)

I took the day off yesterday and cleaned and re-dyed my factory black leather driver's seat on the left bolster and other friction points. It now looks about 9 years better.

I was gonna order a patch and refinish kit off eBay for a small hole in my driver bolster. But both bolsters are showing wear.

This is my second application in about 5 years. The stuff really does a great job and a little goes a VERY long way.

Nope, it's the exact same one I got from Nissan. I bought it from the dealership as a 2009 Nissan Rogue SL OEM part (my wife's Rogue that we bought on the same day as my Z had the Homelink + Compass that I wanted, so I swapped out the part and tested it on my car before I ordered it.) My original Homelink-only mirror has been sitting in a parts bin since just after I bought the Z.

I use a leather re-coloring balm that I ordered out of the UK several years ago. It's made by a company called Furniture Clinic. It appears they now sell the product on . <-- Click for link.

Got off lazy duff to yank my "fancy Enkei" whills off car. (And to take them in for new rubber M&B next week)
Did so to re-install the whills I took out of the "old Volks home".... Geddit? Geddit?? (I'm very sorry for that.)
Went from this look...
...to a tamer, calmer look.
I like. Guess I keeps dem now.

Hey Blue! The wheels above, aren't RPF1s. They're AME TM-02s. They're designed by Kyoho, a pretty high end/luxury wheel maker in Japan, and built by Enkei using the same MAT technology as Enkei Racing and Tuning series wheels. Essentially, they're known as "upscale RPF1s"; hence why I call them my "fancy Enkeis" or my "faux Enkeis". Heh.
It's an older wheel... I think they were big from around '08 to '11. I've never seen another set around here; that's why I had to have 'em!
Pulling off a near new pair of Bridgestone RE050As (about 300 miles when I got them last month) and tossing the fronts (about 25% left). Going with a set of Kumho PS91 255/285-19s. Put a set of these on my Z34 Niz wheels for my son's car and they're actually quite good - for a budget Max Perf tire like my Sumitomo HTRZ-3s. Going to test 'em out for the heck of it on mine.
Oh, right, mandatory specs.... 19x9.5 / 19x10.5 +22, 20.1#/20.9# F-R
Decent rear fit.
Downside to my alloy n' rubber fetish... my main garage is overstuffed yet again... sigh...
Cross I guess I gotta bear.
