Speakin' of the oft neglected Niz....



Pimped it out with Optimum Instant Detailer/Gloss Enhancer. Well, I was in the garage waiting for a load of heavy laundry to dry so made use of the 10 minutes.

Then I came back inside the house and folded laundry. All domestic and sh*t. But AFTER I ordered a 3-pack more of the stuff. Yes, Dean, this stuff is great! (But no, it's not the Wash n' Shine stuff.)

Warning though: the little area that was exposed to the sun while doing it dried with a haze. Re-did it in small sections and wiped, repeat until clear. All good. Oh, the haze wasn't on the paint, it was on the clear bra section. Stuff no good for plastic/vinyl evidently.

Drove mine to sears and picked up a new torque wrench. They are on sale for $40 if anyone is in the market for one.

Here is a set of 370Z wheels for sale in Quebec on kijiji. I have emailed him twice with no response. He's asking $900 CDN which is about $675 US.

Just snapped my first EZ out in a flywheel bolt. Great, now to figure out what is next. May be easier to just replace the crank

sho nuf, need to wax it... but since mom rarely leaves her house in the winter, i might see if i can persuade her on letting me take her juke for the snow and ice. my car is too low, last year the front air dam would have been a snow plow.

My holes are such garbage... Thankfully those scratch pads covered my blunder... Straight pins and curved hood made for a ***** of a time.
