gears or ok but cams are **** woohoo another beer for me!!

 

This site goes down faster than a desperate *****. I just lost my big post. Oh, well.

I think I like my 3.5 gears since the speeds and times are comparably even with the other shorter gears (after 1st and 2nd).

I've always wanted cams for the Z. Wouldn't that be the shiznit for a winter project in a nice, warm, large garage?

 

*cough* Aaron *cough*

 

Dave just buy a heater, a service manual and do the cams. Ill install your gears so its only $470.

I did go to dunwoody for automotive.

 

f^ck that, my days of working on cars are over. I will GLADLY pay to have it done for me..... and my fee to do installs on other cars would just not be competitive

Cams are a b1tch and way too invasive for me to want to get involved. I have seen these motors apart and know how many million potential ways there are to mess them up. To do cams, you will be looking at taking off the front timing covers and nearly taking off the heads to do so. Adjusting valve lash, etc.

As far as rear end gears, I would be happy to help on a pumpkin swap, but not swapping out the actual gears. I absolutely hate gear lube and will not willingly volunteer my time for a project that involves messing around with that stinky ****.

edit:
In case you all missed it, I am now driving a minivan. I am an old lazy man now.

 

Practical maybe...but not old and lazy.

Cams are not in my future any time soon unless I win the lottery and have the time and money.

 

No you're not Aaron, Dave holds that title j/k Dave Wow this is like the earliest time I've ever been up on a weekday... Now I'm going to be up till 4am Tuesday when i finally get off from work

 

Dave is just old.... I don't know if he is lazy.

Now me, on the other hand, now that farm season is over, I am lazy

 

You're not the only one lazy, now that winter is coming building materials is slowing wwaaayyy down. I'm only doing about 4 hours of work and stretching it into 12+ hours.. They have us down to 3 days a week right now(Mon,Tues, thurs) so I gotta get as much hours as I can.

 

Cant detail a car when its -20 out, and it wouldnt make sense to do it when its crap weather out anyways

 

BTW my parents leased an Altima about 2 weeks ago.

 

Anybody a member of 370z.com? I just registered. Need to know more about this new Z34....lol

I'm feeling old but never lazy. Party at my house next Spring!

 

my mother-in-law has pretty much the same car. the smart key and CVT are very nice. I really enjoy driving that car

 

^I agree. The car is comfortable, the power is unexpecting from a 4 banger, and the tranny shifts smooth as butter.

Plus my mom got 27m[pg doing 90mph. This is by far the most fuel efficient car we have ever owned LOL.


I am bringing it up to Fargo for 3 days to see how she performs on the interstate and long drives. Also to break it in a bit more (500 miles on just the interstate alone back and forth)

Pretty excited. it is a nice car especially for the price (0 down, $320 a month)

 

Wish my van were that "affordable" ... I did get 18.91 mpg from it on my first tank. Not bad for a van

 

anybody interested in some stock z seats from an 04 touring?

 

you get some new seats Alex?

 

I wish it would just snow already so I'd stop feeling so bad not driving my Z on nice days.. 50 degrees this sat WTF!!!??

 

My van gets 99mpg when going downhill.

Hush yo mouf, Greg! Dammit, this is an actual real Fall season! We still get to enjoy walking dogs, doing yard work, and whatever else needs doing w/o snow and ice.

 

Not yet, I need to sell the stock ones first.

I think im gonna go with these in black
