soooooo..... got check in the mail for my car to get fixed, they have it as a reconditioned tailight, i am okay with that because its nissan, but i think that they are wanting to do non oem bumper..... not happy about that but i know that is how insurance companies work. i am taking to the shop on monday and i will ask them about it then

 

So they haven't started repairing it? What are you driving for a rental

 

It's your car and you determine how it gets fixed. The bumper that got damaged is genuine Nissan OEM so it should be replaced by genuine Nissan OEM. They can't tell you otherwise.

 

Chris - next time you go skating let me know - i'll come be old with you -

hola!

I still haven't gotten any slicks!

 

they just approved everything and sent me the check, and yeah that is what i am going to tell the shop, i want genuine nissan parts

 

and they are paying for rental car for 12 days

 

 

Has anyone used autozone rotors? Worth a damn?

 

i had to use the oreilly ones (cant imagine they would be much diff) because i found out after i had it all apart they were too thin to be turned again. no complaints so far other than the hub part of it rusting.....

 

I used them on my last z. They work but the hubs started to get a fine coat of rust on them that kind of bothered me.

 

Good enough for me. As long as they work ill be happy. The rusting will be annoying, but a bbk or oe brembos are in the cars future.

 

So I got a question....does your GoPro charge if the red light is on ?

I always turn it on and see the battery symbol blink from low to full as it charges.....but I heard that it still is charging if the power isn't on ?

Will the Red light blink or go away when it is full ?

 

I don't know for sure on the Hero2, but on my Hero3 the red light turns off when it reaches full charge.

 

Lol, same. My work doesn't match at all, though.

You're supposed to be wearing your GoPro!

I raced on AZ rotors for about a year until I ruined them on the track. Before they became useless, I put them through lots of autox and 3-4 other track days worth of abuse. They're definitely not made for track use but can take them if need be. For daily driving, you won't have a single problem and they're cheap.

Leave your GoPro off and connect the charger. Red light will turn on and stay solid until it's fully charged, at which point the light will go off (with the charger still connected). This should be true for all GoPros, but that's how it is on both 2 and 3.

 

so i dropped off my car yesterday, felt sick leaving it. door handles will be body color when i get it back... they gave me a freaking malibu for a rental, that things is horrible compared to the Z, steering sucks, ride is floaty, and IT IS FREAKING SLOOOW

 

I need a painter fellas. Want to spray a new front bumper and repaint the passenger door as its awful looking. Also for painting the door handles, do I just sand them and spray?

 

if you are rattle canning them.... when i did mine i stripped off the clear on it with acetone, primed and painted with grill paint (doesnt chip easy) but i never cleared them... so eventually it faded but lasted good for a year and half. i got rear ended, and since they had to paint already i am having them do the handles.

 

I wish I could have my door handles painted.

I'm thinking of plasti-dipping them....I know it doesn't last as long, but it is easier.

 

i did that at first and it peeled off within a couple of days, but since you dont daily yours you might be okay.... either way i would still take them off to paint. what about that touch up spray paint from autozone, since yours is super black.... it is automotive paint......

 

I might need you to show me how to get the handles out.
