What did you do with your Z today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[itszed]

I haven't found a front lip that I like so I broke out my rivet tool and installed the factory air dam. Also swapped out the "Nissan" center caps for a set of "Z" ones.

That blue is awesome...

Dealer give you any issue asking for 5w-30?

Nope, they said other customers have opted for it as well, they had no issue with it at all.

I use it during cold months and use 5W-40 during summer months

Thanks. I'm glad Nissan chose to go monotone with Bayside Blue

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on that camera.

I am liking it so far. Seems to be excellent quality. Install wasn't difficult with the exception of the rear camera. Running the wire was a bit if a challenge. I am using a 1 TB SSD for storing my video.

I'll post more info as I get more time with the unit.

Just spent the entire day doing break dust clean up lol

The stock pads on the Performance brakes don't dust up too bad, but I had factory pads on my RC F that were awful in terms of brake dust, and while I think the 20-spoke wheels fit the car well, they were an absolute nightmare to clean (see photo).

I replaced them with Tom's (fr) and Project Mu (rr) pads, and it made a HUGE difference, way less dust and got rid of all the brake noise as well. They performed as well or better than the OEM pads. For what it's worth, I had the Type PS and I wish I had done it as soon as I bought the car.

I found that Project Mu make pads for the Z as well...but I am not 100% sure if they offer them for the Nismo brake kit? Here's their page if you want to check with them:

I’m still leary on installing the factory flex lip, may still scrape and tear part of the lower bumper. Plus future lowering won’t be as friendly to that piece. Experiences?

lol, very few people get the reference. My tag actually says “EROCOOL” and no one gets that so far.

So far so good. My Z will stay at stock ride height for now due to bad road conditions where I live. I also tend to back into parking spots with a curb, or park out in the middle of nowhere to mitigate any scraping conditions. She's my daily so trying to keep her nice until she gets put on light duty.

Put on a few hundred miles with RSR springs, Stillen sway bars, the Z1 diff brace and bushing, with Z1 lowered wheel fitment and WOW.

This is my daily driver and very happy with the changes. The car feels very different, planted and smooth with zero lateral roll. Small changes made a huge improvement. The car feels great. The RST springs didn't lower it a ton, 3/4 inch I think.

Waiting for the short shift and shifter bushings next. That being said somehow the car is even shifting more crisply and stiffly (in a good way) that prior to all those add ons).

Your auto is now a competent GT car now. Stock suspension and tires suck.

Going to replace these potentzas after the winter.
