Went to the dealer today and got a new thermostat drive belt and radiator hoses since the car was already torn down. The belt was a pain to put on since is was new. Other than that the rest was pretty easy.


On my way out of nissan today I ran into this beauty. I was drooling all over her sexyness






Sigh.... $180000.. one day...

I know it sucks not to be able to drive my z. Good news today!, my mishimoto radiator is finally here!! This thing is packed like if it was a pc motherboard, great quality and craftsmanship by mishimoto.


Too bad there's a nasty thunderstorm going through my area I want to install this already.

Finally got the car running. I gotta say the car runs better than before. The temp gauge stays at 1/4 before it used to run at 1/2. I'm really impressed with it, everything fit how it supposed to even with its significantly thicker radiator core. I replac3d the hoses with better clamps. The older clamps where loosing its clamping forces and the hoses seemed pretty crusty from the inside. I also took advantage of the car being dismantled and bought new ffront fender liners to freshen the car up a bit alo g with a nice detail on the areas you normaly cant get to. I greased up the front suspension and wiped down the undercarriage. I think maintenance wise Ive done everything to the car except spark plugs. Anyways this set me back about a month of mod funds so I will be visiting bodyshop by the end of the month. For now I'll mount the v3 spoiler.

Yes it sucks but this made me realize my car is no longer new. I bought it with 13 mIles and it's always been my first new car. Like a parent I always seen my car as my baby (new car) but after this past week I noticed she's not new any longer. :/
lol noticed this too
even although she only has around 15k miles on the odo :P and is about 10 years old now
.....i should really drive more with my garage queen
. i guess as long as it's nothing major it should be fine.
