Nice, also San marino here.

I was considering the whiteline kit also, i did the diff bushing. Was debating the SPL Compression rod bushing with whiteline LCAs, or may just do do all whiteline myself. Not sure what to do for upper control arms, but if i do i might as well buy the whole front kit.

Default How I do my annual maintenance after 16 years with the Z

I can say this site really helped me keep my Z for this long and I hope to keep it going as long as the Z runs. I filmed myself doing an annual maintenance last week, check it out.

I did a bumper tuck today because I had an ISR catback single exit exhaust installed on Thursday night. While the car was up in the air we found a leaking rear main seal and a leaking steering rack. I'm going to get a refurbished rack but I should replace the clutch and flywheel while replacing the seal. I'm still stock at 126K. Is JWT lightweight flyfwheel and clutch the go to for someone who will probably stay NA?

First wash of the year, now that all the yellow tree pollen has started to let up.

I'm NA and I love my JWT clutch/flywheel combo. I'd recommend it as long as you don't mind the extra noise.

Looks absolutely great.... Very nice. It's difficult to make grey appear as a "deep color." You did this with the ceramic coating. It also "pops" the chrome wheels.

Those are polished OEM 350z V1 Rays wheels (Track model wheels). 18x8, 18x8.5. Forget the offsets off the top of my head.

Did my annual fixing of the front lip, didn't bother painting the bottom this round, but at least the visible portion will look presentable.


Next up the roof needs attention...

Zdayz prep in the works. Basically refreshing everything since it's been 9 years since I got the car new. New side skirts and carbon front fender.

Recaro SPG and an OMP steering wheel going in soon. Also found an OG HKS purple oil cap to add some color to the engine bay.
