This is the first winter i am going to have a Z as a DD.
And my first impressions are not to drive the Z in the snow!
Absolutly no traction, I thought my VDC would take care of things but it was going ape **** making all sorts of strange noises. The problems aren't the main roads but all the side streets and neighborhood streets. Why cant they make an all wheel drive Z!

 

I am sooo glad I dont have to go through another winter in the Z...Jeeps FTW

 

they did...Juan's!!!

 

go here: www.functiontuned.com to checkout the AWD Z, lol

 

I know about Juans!!! I meant from the factory!!!
But I would be curious to see if Juan has tested it in the snow and how it worked out?

 

I know how u feel man. I have a base model with no LSD or traction control so my car is even worse. I ordered a set of Blizzaks today (875 ) but from what the other members I talked to say, they work well. I know firestone's factory warehouse is out of em tho so if you plan on getting them Tire Rack was the only Company I found that had em for less than 1000 bux.

 

I hear that the Z with winter tires is manageable.. snow drifting FTW

LOL.. beater sentra saves the day

 

Decided to keep it parked today..

 

Full size Chevy Tahoe FTMFW!

 

Four brand new tires on my maxima for the price of two tires for the Z FTW!! I learned my lesson last year and wont be driving the Z this winter.

 

This will be my 3rd winter with the Z as a DD... not sure where you guys live, but even when i was in Blacksburg the weather was rarely bad enough to not take it out.

 

sucked in my DD Rodeo

 

I only had one problem last year in the snow... other than that everything was fine. Couldn't get out of my parking spot but there was also like 2 inches on the ground and no snow plow through yet... What can ya do?

 

The Snow is already pissing me off

 

350Z + snow = Hello telephone pole!

 

hey guys FUN FACT: it has snowed every Dec. 5th since 2001 except for one year!! Crazy huh?

 

Thankfully I have a 1990 Accord which saves my Z from snow duty. I faced some harsh times in my 03 Base during the winter, and needless to say, now know that a beater car is a vital bit of kit for this car!

The snow is good though: snowboarding this weekend is going to rule!

 

First I think....way too much time on his hands. Then I think...hmmm, interesting.

 

Same here! And I am cursing myself for having driven the Z to work. I should've taken the bus to work (since calling in sick or WFH was not an option!)

I assumed there would be some flurries just in the AM - but was wrong. Now I am sitting here at work, looking out the window every 5 mins.

But hey - the snow is not sticking to the street - it's melting away - ain't it?

 

It hasn't snowed here yet and is pissing me off. It is supposed to snow tonight so I guess I will not go to work tomorrow.
