Anyone who is going out to Hooter's tonight and is out on the west side or Fort Worth or whatever, some of us are going to meet up at 700 on the west garage and cruise out together. Y'all are welcome to join.

 

ColecatZ, if I still lived in Dallas, I would so do this with you. I've been saying I wanted to drop in a LS for years... just no cash. As for who can do them, I have no idea. Frankly, I'm not sure I trust any of the shops around here with such a task.

 

Well, I had hell removing the drivers side OEM compression rod bushing tonight!

Dammn thing was so rusted and stuck with corrosion that I had to hack at it for hours with a saw-saw, and hammer and chisel.....

Finally i got the bastardo out:

You can see the dark red/maroon rust all over the inside shaft and top section.

fun times!!

^ That's probably what mine looks like.

 

Anyone staying up or waking up to see the eclipse tonight ? Is supposed to be very cool. Along with winter solstice, its been 400 years since this has happened the same day

 

At what time is the eclipse?

 

The roof of my balcony is hiding the moon. Stupid apartment lol

 

Ring effect going on now.

 

Just about gone now

 

It'll start over soon enough.

 

Good thing I never sleep lol cuz this is lasting a lot longer than I thought it would

 

ya man, i bet now that your up in Chicago with your Z...

This Z was purchased from Boston.....i suggest you spray lube in there when you can...

then crashed again..

Did anyone get pics ? All morning watching stupid news and none of them have shown it that I've seen. Dumb a$$ news stations !

 

hey guys,

i just bought my Z last night and i'm already having a window problem. it went all the way down and it won't come back up. I'm guessing i need to buy a new motor or maybe reset? I've looked at the DIYs and stuff but I still have no idea....

Is it a lot of money to pay a shop or someone to do it?

 

^ PM ACIDJAKE75,

hes done that repair/replace many times over on several 350z local guys cars..

plus hes close to you, he lives in Carrollton...down 35, exit frankford..

-J

 

wow really? I go to carrollton area all the time... haha

I'll definitely PM him... I really need the window to close by tonight...

 

Hold up on your window switch and pull the door closed hard, no need to slam it, just close it like a man.... it will roll up. That should get you through until you get it repaird.

 

lol "like a man"

I want to leave work!!!

At least I am ordering test pipes, I need to sell these ones that didn't fit

 

you're the man!! I just did what you told me to do and it rolled back up all the way! the window doesn't come down anymore but this will do for now until I get it replaced.

I was looking into the motor and how come autozone has one for like 60-70 bucks when o'reilley sells them for almost doubled the price? is it just because of the lifetime warranty?
