I don't do it. I lift-shift every time even at the drag strip. I've tried no-lift shifting. I'd rather my engine not have that stress and I'm not good at it. I already get enough wheel spin when I shift anyways. What times are you running with no-lift shifting BMurray?

 

Ordered a couple rolls of 3m 1080.

 

Hahaha definitely. I wish the videos sounded 10% as good as in person. Overpasses sound insane and the gopro doesn't pick up any of the backfire.

 

Stop teasing John. Lol

 

Haven't been able to a 1/4 track yet that I can hook at (poorly prepped), and when i ran 8.3 @ 86mph in the 1/8 mile i was lifting the whole time. When i get my new slicks and 4.08 gears again it will run a mid 12 in the right conditions and if they can prep the track decent. 8.3 was also with a worn clutch. i've since upgraded to a act clutch and lighter flywheel! im pretty excited to see what i can run.

 

what are you wrapping? I'm thinking of buying a hydro dipping kit to try.. any experience with that?

 

Jeez. I went to the track Friday expecting better times and there was too much wind and I couldn't get any traction. I need some slicks or radials and a tune. I need to get into the 13s!

 

Washed,scratch remover,polished and waxed

 

Waxed it Saturday, installed spacers today. Rubbing in the rear even at 3 degrees of camber. Going to 3.25 tomorrow and that should fix it.



EDIT: Yes, I know I need reflectors. Currently working on some DIY DRL reflectors

 

Z, it's currently wrapped in gloss white, originally SB. Going with a new color. Hydro dipping requires a catalyst activated clear coat which is nasty stuff. If it's a part you never touch then no need for the clear but doesn't look as nice.

 

dropper her another half an inch....lets see how she handles the commute to work tomorrow.

Installed my old bumper I had repainted and test fitted my front bumper.



Also replaced my ghetto coolant over flow tank.

 

Just picked up my Z before I go in to work, did new H-tech Tein Springs, KYB shocks. SPC rear Camber arms. Kinetix front upper control arms. Re aligned the car front +0.04 rears -0.10. My oem shocks were blone to hell. Drove her home and I feel like I'm in a 370z :-D

 

Washed the Z early this morning, and just dropped her of at the shop. I'm getting low oil pressure

It really was incredible!

 

Took the time to paint my center radio console and shifter trim plastics with Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric paint with flat black, as done by previous members.
Came out great. Thousand times better than what it looked like before. And I actually like that it's a hint darker than before, didn't like that grayish look from before.




Also decided the hatch not opening correctly was enough. Quickly skimmed a DIY without pictures and read things about springs, bolts, and figured **** it. But numerous occasions of having my hands full of bags and fumbling with the key fob to try to get the hatch to open without getting caught.... ive had enough.
luckily, it took about 4 minutes. Popped in two pennies in the spring, Trunk opens no problem! Such an easy fix, should have done it sooner.

 

Did you keep the texture or did you sand it down? Can't tell from the pic.
