Looks great. I like the wheels. What make are they? I've been looking for rims for my car.
they are Ambit FF4. Nothing fancy. I got these off some guy on offer for cheap. My goal is to get some Work VS on the Z but dont have the funds for them right now. So for now just rolling with these
It's no car show queen, but it cleans up OK for a 17yr old car with 147k miles I got a wash & wax in before the sun came up over the trees this morning.

I've had it 4 years now. I bought from the original owner (a former coworker of mine). It had sat for 2 years before I bought it from him (he didn't want to drive another MI winter in it and had bought a Ford Escape with AWD, instead). I've put about 23k of the miles on it.
Took the Z to the Cars and Coffee at the Nissan Tech Center in Farmington Hills, MI, this morning. There was a nice turnout, and they had the new Z out to show.
Changed the oil and cleaned out the catch can which maybe had 1/4 teaspoon of oil in it.
I typically go with Amsoil filters but they're out of stock due to supply chain issues, so I went with a fancy Nismo oil filter because swag points, yo.
I also had a helper with me.
He'll be 2 years old next month. Wife was less than pleased with this picture, haha.

Getting ready for some major work on the Z. Cleaned out as much space as I could in the garage. More pics to come as work progresses. This is just the beginning.
If you look closely at the pics, there's a few clues there already . I'll post more pics at the end of the week . I'm still waiting on a few shipments to arrive.

Quick photo update. I'm still waiting on the struts I ordered. I'm planning to tackle the diff swap this weekend. If more time allows, I'll also be dropping the trans. There's a lot more than just this, so stay tuned.
-Icer Koyorad, Koyorad Cap, Zspeed quiet clutch + Flywheel combo. CZP coolant hose set & OEM thermostat. Stock Pumpkin with Nismo Diff Cover, but inside an OS NS112-HA (Salvage from my old Z chassis). I may paint the rusty output shafts. Top of pumpkin, Whiteline diff bushings going in as well. OEM 2008 Nismo Coil Spring set, not planning to use these struts. Seller did not want to separate. Anyone want the struts?
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of silicone hoses, but have you looked at the prices of OEM hoses recently? It's insane. I know silicone PCV hoses sweat badly, but my buddy is using the CZP coolant lines in his 94 Z32-TT, no issues with sweating or odors. I think for coolant they will be ok. But I would not use silicone for vacuum lines or PCV. If they prove to be a problem, I'll just suck it up and replace with OEM.
Cheers!

Can't see the imprint that Konigs have but similar.
