Well you can always get your old nis back. Shh I'm keepin tabs on the guy who bought it from ya to make sure he treats her well. . Also, I heard that nis 0009 is up for grabs. It would be cool if it was the 007 number though

Thanks but no need.... whatever one does with things after I sell 'em, their bag. If I was that emo attached, I'da not sold it. I miss it once in a bit but I'm sure it's gone to a good home.

And no, no more Z33s for the near future. I'm searching for other things to monkey with at the moment.

so a while back (i dont know if he is still doing this now) i found a guy from the UK who makes custom steering wheels, every make and model. He has a form you fill out specifying how you want the steering wheel to look like, materials, everything! i got a hold of him and made me this sweet wheel and boot for the z.

after lots washes, meets, and local shoots; i began noticing a hesitation coming from the z on hard acceleration. my initial thought was spark plugs since the car now is on about 80k.

so i ordered up my plugs and go everything ready to go, easy job, what could go wrong? i took everything apart
]
uhhh ohhh wet spark plugs!!
i did a little research and it turns out the spark plugs seal on the valve covers go bad, common z33 problem apparently. so whatever its just a seal to change no big deal. well the genius nissan engineers made this gasket built in with the covers, they are not sold separately. fml a little spark plug jpb went big.
