I'm miss the Texas gulf coast too. The weather in the south is definitely more appealing to me personally.

I won't be driving the Z on snow days. Got a beat up old chevy for that nonsense.
Yeah I dont drive the Z much in the winter, I have some options. Got 2 awd cars and a beat up old truck.

You will most deff get a fair share of snow

I live in Western Mass, small town not far from Springfield, I work in Springfield though... I also used to live in Georgia (Warner Robins) right by Macon, I dont miss anything but the winter weather.

Yeah, absolutely. Theres 3 options...

-drill out the meter hole in the block to match the tubes I.D.

-replace it with an elimiator block. I think z1 has one for the 300zx that works for the 350z

-source some brass fitting to fill the space, and remove the block all together.

There is a 4th option, buy the zspeed SS line that replaces all the lines and block in between the master and slave cylinder. Personally I opted to go with the tilton master, zspeed ss line and centric slave and replaced everything in 1 shot. A little pricey up front but in my opinion well worth it.

Keep that snow away from here! It's 70 today, and I took the day off. Drove the Z around doing errands and filled up the tank. Super unleaded is $2.43 a gallon now, so I took advantage before it gets colder and I put it away for the winter.

Do you put Sta-Bil or something similar in the tank before storage?

Thats a sweet set-up. Did you use the OEM pedal mechanism or the RJM upgrade?

6 months or so later I did do the RJM vs 4 upgrade. Glad I got one before He stopped making them. Once I get my engine issues and health straightened out I am planning on the cd009 upgrade. From what I understand so far still better than the latest 00A trans that some of our site sponsors are selling.

RJM is still making the pedals. They actually sell a new revision of the pedal.

00A = 06 and up ?
009 = 03-05 ?

I figured the new trans would br better.

The 009 is in the 06+ if I remember correctly, could be wrong though.

RJM was running a group buy for his last set of 350z pedal assy. He state he would not run any for the z33 since sales have plummeted.

I have a v1 installed.. Bought his latest edition in the last group buy.. He also sent me the revision upgrade parts to turn my v1 into the highest revision for that build.. V3 I think? Will be for sale in a few months when I take it out to swap. Just keep in mind etc.

This is an instance when I wish I was wrong, but our cars are getting older and are getting treated more like civics with the younger generation rolling in. I love go fast goodies but products like the rjm pedal just make the car more enjoyable.
