Bay looks *******, next step would be some polished coolant/PS tanks and you're good to go

 

Good thing my Z is hibernating over the winter, she'd hate me if I told her I blew the tranny on my winter beater yesterday and now have to spend her wheel funds replacing it.

 

OK, get yer coats on, it's chill in here!

You know how awesome you are when you use the same stuff you use on your Z to detail your appliances.



Or, in my case, OCD or just plain stupid. ('specially since the appliances are kept covered when not in use... cars don't even get that treatment! )

Oh, what'd I do to my cars? Uhhhhh, detailed one of 'em while waiting for my laundry to dry. But compared to the washer, zzzzzzzzz....

thats balling....i order the gallon+16oz bottle and it was like 70 bucks

 

i love that stuff, need to get some more

 

I tried this stuff called F11 that one of our distributors at work dropped off. I gotta say- it's pretty amazing.

It's water based, can be used on everything from: glass, paint, plastic, rubber, seals, etc.

Has a nice hydrophobic Rain-X like beading affect on the windshield. Black trim pieces around window sills, rear window, and hood cowl were instantly darker and more rich and stayed that way. I noticed a big bird **** on my hood walking out one morning to go to work- the car was wet with dew. By the time I got to work the bird poop had slid right off. YES.

Goes on more like a "glaze" (Kinda reminded me of when I used Turtle Wax Ice at first. Though unlike ice, it doesn't require seventy passes to buff back off.) The best result was using a damp microfiber to apply it and a dry plush cloth to chase it.

Please excuse the nasty-*** driveway- renting. Time to buy a pressure washer.

 

My new bottle arrived today?

Great looking Zee!

 

Got this puppy installed, love it. Trying to decide on keeping the CAI, definitely getting the Berk hiflows and a tune next. Merry Christmas to me.

 

Your z looks great n0smoke!

Very nice, brother.

 

Found some Swift Spec-R springs on a Facebook group for a good deal. Went ahead and placed the order for some Bilstein's this afternoon.

And now we wait

 

Z1 motor mounts installed. Trans goes in tomorrow, what fun

 

Hey Terrasmak, look at the bright side, you got those bolts out and now there's light at the end of the trans tunnel!

 

That light is my drop light that I can never get pointed at anything other than my eyes.

 

Installed some Top Speed Pro-1 resonated test pipes....

 

Checked all the fluids today and found a light very thin layer of white-ish residue on top of the coolant in the res. Then I saw white specs in the radiator fluid. I just had the system flushed a few days ago and about 2 weeks ago head a a leakdown/comp test that turned out great. Going to Nissan tomorrow.

 

Semi forgot what mirrors are and I had to dive into the median to get out of the way, spun out and slid almost on to the opposite road. Somehow everything is fine. But she needs a good wash today, mud everywhere.

 

Glad everything is O.K., that could have been bad.
