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

Welp…
I stand by my previous comments.

I’m adopting @KrackaC8‘s stance about the importance logging your anal maintenance … or maintaining your logs anally … idk, something about anal logs.

Anyway, I get home and prepare to file my paperwork, and take a look.
“CUSTOMER REQUESTED BRAKE FLUID CHANGE…”
After all that, and spending $118 on something I neither asked for nor needed, my diff oil still has not been changed.

Wow…

Well... Although an easy DIY, a full brake fluid flush job for $118 is a decent price. Hopefully they used DOT4.

First of all, read all the posts including analog something or other and WOW. My dealer only loads my Z on the alignment rack because the regular lifts don’t go low enough…according to them.

He made some comment about it being really low. Decided not to tell him the next time he saw it it would be at least an inch lower. I didn’t realize a stock Z wouldn’t work on a normal rack.

No decision on brake fluid yet, but I did snag a pressurized brake fluid kit not too long ago. I guess it’ll just have to wait a little longer.

Yeah, hopefully it’s not GL5 80w-90. Or washer fluid.

Add Gainesville Nissan to your avoid at all costs list. For my first oil change: the tech stalled the car five times (that I could see) reving and dropping the clutch to get the car around the corner into the service center: I was done. When I realized that I was jeopardizing my car's health by letting this fool dealer touch it, I was like "screw this warranty" DP's and tune is back on the menu boyz!

Spoke with a guy the other day from Clearwater and I brought up Lokey Nissan. Tried to score a black NISMO they had, and had had for a while. Wouldn’t deal at all. He said, “they’re known to be the worst.” I wonder if it’s a Nissan thing, or every dealership is like that. Only dealt with Nissan since 2003.

He also has a ‘22 GR Supra. He said he’s always been a fan of ‘Toyota.’ I kept my mouth shut about that one.

Any chance that's a typo and they really changed the diff fluid like you asked?

No, I saw him doing the brake fluid. I thought it was odd, but didn’t question it, just put it down to maybe I didnt know that was part of the “10K service.”
I didn’t watch the whole time. But I assume he didn’t do anything with the diff that wasn’t in the 10k…inspection, maybe.

Part of that package was tire rotation. $35. I understand how things work, but the paperwork was itemized. If you’re not even doing something, don’t charge for it.

I hole punched it and put it in the binder so I wouldn’t be tempted to look at it again.

Also realized at dinner I left my water bottle and an oil filter there (bought separately for my home 15k change). Going to hold off on completing their survey until I pick that stuff up
It was a 65F1E. I think the B’s are out of normal distribution, in the US anyway. No fault to those that do, but I don’t really care about the JDM “B“ vs E thing. Viva Mexico!

Did a super important mod.
Added a little sticker to the right of the latch on the hood that reads “5.6 QTS” so I don’t have to look it up every time I do an oil change.

I have a few NISMO branded parts on my car, although they're all hidden. Oil and fuel filler caps, CAI, so I did put a NISMO branded hood stripe on my car.

As you may remember from awhile back, I don't particularly care for the center caps and I don't want to spend the money for the "Z" caps that basically look the same.

After some research, I ordered an anthracite NISMO LM-RS6 centercap. They're like $15 each. Available in bronze and black as well.

I got the old one off by pulling off the overlay and then using a small flat blade screwdriver to pry the cap out.

At first the new cap seemed like it didn't want to fit without some trimming but then I realized I needed to stop being a pu**y and just pop that bitch in with the side of my fist. BINGO!!!

It looked shitty/defective at first until I realized there's a clear plastic protection on it.

It's snug. S.N. U. G. Like it ain't coming off until less I pull the wheel. So I'm gonna live with the mismatch until the rest come in.

Question for you guys since my car is yellow...

Should I get the bronze caps? The anthracite don't stand out as much as I hoped but the pics were taken inside the garage with the door closed. Maybe better outside in natural light. I don't want the black ones.

Waiting for a few opinions before I make my order

Installed new hangers for AWE exhaust - about a 1/4 hole shorter and much stuffer..

also,

install the kanjo hood struts - didn’t use any washers on top... factory hinge nut is 12mm w/ paint - had to lightly tap socket with a soft mallet because of the thick paint.. and the kanjo lower fender nut is 1/2”. Had the car on the jack for the hangers so access to lower fender nut was wide open..

I like those!

I vote NO to bronze unless it's a Proto Spec w/bronze wheels.

I'm sooooo close to pulling the trigger on the bronze
