I assume I’m the millionth person to say this, but it would have been nice to stay with the trend, drop the VR38DETT in it and call it the 380Z.

Completely useless for this thread, but I wanted to point out this GM/OEM C8 cover is literally the slickest car cover ever made.

Haven’t decided yet how Involved I’ll be with oil changes vs my go-to shop. Going to take it to the dealership for my first oil change in the next month or so. I’m in FL, and it’s already hot as balls midday. 95 degrees (35C) is normal down here, or will be a month from now. 0/20? 5/20? 5/30...

I’d focus on the rodent issue first.

I believe this is the lower downpipe, specifically the flange that mounts to the cat. It flares after the flange, so id guess it’s about 1/2” larger than the cat exit. Don’t know what that is though, or if the diameter decreases downstream. I read multiple places, I think google AI said it as...

Only anal retentive when compared to what a ‘normal person’ would do. And we all know normal people suck. Probably one of the best places to coat. All kinds of volatile gases and fluids under there and that’s not an area that’s always cleaned. You did the firewall too, right? Proud 🫡

From what little I know about getting rid of rodents, the best way is to kill them, however that needs to happen. Traps, poison, etc. Not only will they destroy stuff, they'll make nests in open spaces, like your AC blower box and ducts. That, or soak your car in bobcat urine. From Reddit: OP...

Didn’t do anything to my Z today, other than drive it. But after almost a month and 1k miles, I found out it has a glove box where a glove box should be. I’ve been driving 350Z’s for the past 22 years with the glove box placed inconveniently behind the passenger seat. Cleaning my ‘05 out earlier...

I assume both Sonictuned and Racebox can be considered experts, and are talking about the same engine. From the links above Race Box - “Watch idle oil pressure (should always be 20+)…” Sonictuned - “At idle, it’s normal to see around 15-20psi.” The science apparently isn’t settled.

10-4. Looking as the Lisle installation tool.

Would it help to knock the studs free, or at least partially, before removing the hub assy? Not sure how much force it takes to knock them out, and prefer not to be banging on 60 lbs of oddly shaped expensive gear on the bench.

Loosen for space/access, or remove the hubs completely? Bolted from the from back of the knuckle, no special tools or tricks needed?

Was looking forward to trading my soft top roadster for something new so I could sign up for one of those monthly subscription drive through car wash places, as I was told they could damage a soft top. Now that I have something new I was told that those car washes can be pretty abrasive. That...

Don‘t want to remove two wheels just to look at the hubs, but if no one here chimes in I’ll do it and report back. I assume the majority of the crap under there is identical on all models. Just popped in my head I’ll probably have to remove the brakes, or at least the rotors. Maybe wrong, but I...

RZ34, or possibly Z34 (not sure how similar the hubs and other guts are under there). Would like wheel spacers. Thinking 15 & 20. That will work, no scrub, on a bone-stock NISMO, right? Sounds like people are going 20 front, 25 rear on Perfs/Rays with no issues, and not trying to push the...
