I highly suggest Chris out of Berkeley, just a little far if you are set on staying close to Fremont. PM me if you need his contact info.

 

number? thanks

 

I installed the fumoto drain valve so I never have to worry about that crap again. It takes a bit longer to drain, but totally worth it in my opinion.

 

Agreed. We have one on the roadster, but I haven't on the others yet.

 

i spend a lil over 120 for motul + knn filter
7 qts worth of fluid..

i am curious about the drain valve. how much lower does it sit?
i'd be concerned about knocking it off

Supposedly a half inch. I don't really think it's a concern, but I'm no expert.

 

Ouch im such a noob! but i blame it on my stupid iphone! i meant 5 quarts..lol..and yupp cant forget that crush washer!

 

34.50 at nissan well at least thats what I did on the vortech'd Z. I noticed IMO that the de's liked the synthetic blend over the fancy stuff.

 

Dealer Survivabilityby Maddawg » Wed Feb 09, 2011 8:08 am




In todays dog eat dog markets, there remains 1 dealer of fine Z products and superlative service that stands out from amongst it's peers.... Z Car Garage of San Jose, also known as ZCG.

Having the proper amounts of exposure to the increasingly changing technical market and advacements for the Z, ZCG renmains the leader of the pack.

As a renowned sponsor of the largest and oldest Z Club in California, ZONC, ZCG has consistently ensured that the proper recognition continues to be placed for the continiously evolving Z Car. Here, Rob, the proud owner of ZCG has ensured that his crew & staff remain current in their automotive electro-mechanical skills & certifications as well helping them compete in state-wide competions. Here again, ZCG stands out from among the rest of the pack.

As the new year 2011 is now upon us. we can only wait and see what this Master Ninja of the Z will bring us next. When you see that bright red Z with the logo "ZCG" centerline on the front windshield or spot that bright lime green Z at the track, if you think of ZCG, you will be corect.

The Z Force is truly with ZCG.

 

How do you know? UOA?

 

Fixed!

do not want to sound stupid. but i just think it be cool to have a once a month shop type of meet. and meet fellow z/g owners

 

Thanks for the reference!! He did a great job and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot and would recommend him to anyone else. I will be going back for all the installs in the near future!!!

Great guy out there for people that don’t want to pay dealer price!!!!

 

Told you

 

Intuition pretty much, I've spent a lot of money on all kinds of oil. I didnt want to accept that she liked the cheap stuff at first, but the motor was noisy incosistent oil temps all over the place blah blah blah. Plus that was back when I used ZCG, and when I talked to rob about it he agreed and iirc he uses the same chit.

 

I pay 80 bucks for an oil and filter change using Motul oil.
