6 months of waiting for parts.. big upgrade finally coming next week, can’t wait!

I installed the Nismo FUCAs the other day. If the instructions are like the Nismo FUCAs, I highly recommend removing the oem struts when installing the SPL Fucas. Without a ball joint, installing the fucas without removing the strut is really hard

Hit a nail today. TPMS showed rear right was low, and I got out and heard it hissing. I think it's patchable. I have a compact spare that I bought from Marketplace, but no tire iron or jack. I think I'll take the tire to Sams Club tomorrow and have them patch it, after having Nissan Roadside assistance install the spare.

Discount Tire will do it all at no charge. A can of Fix-A-Flat will get you there.

That Datsun Speedtimer is

It could keep better time, but I still love it. Accuracy is +/- 25 seconds a day so I end up re-setting the time every couple weeks . Good power reserve though!

That's what I like about the radio & GPS controlled Citizen watches!

X2 on discount tire. I love their service.

if it can’t be patched, they will prorate a new tire for you.

Wife picked up a nail in the sidewall 2wks after buying a new set of Michelin pilot 4 SUV‘s - they charged me $38 for a new tire.

Discount Tire is apparently closed on Sunday. And the fix a flat is supposedly a pain to remove when doing a patch.

That's their problem. I've used it multiple times, C8 & Z included, and they've never complained.

Testing the 9" screen. I will be replacing the 8" .

Nissan didn't offer the new Z with the 9" outside of Japan and USA. We have performance spec with 8" screens (I believe even the Nismo one comes with an 8").

The compact spare caused a horrible grinding noise on the rear. Probably grinding against the caliper. Maybe the donut was for a base 370z with a smaller brake caliper? Ended up taking the flat tire and a spare rear I had to sams club for a swap.

That's too bad. Did it damage the caliper paint?

Yes it did. Nice red ring of paint around the inside of the spare tire. No chance this spare can fit around the front caliper, so this spare tire is junk. Maybe the sport trim will have some luck.
