  1. 5k Oil Analysis Report - Updated 12/2/25: 10K report

    Post it here when you get it, I'm curious to see what it looks like.
  2. MAJOR Rant: Nissan Black paint on the Z stinks

    The Hydr02 Lite alone is amazing. Just did my WRX that had no wax left, after 1 spray the water was beading up and sheeting off. I use the Hydr02 Lite on the Z everytime I wash it. I'll never bother with wax again.
  3. 5k Oil Analysis Report - Updated 12/2/25: 10K report

    I didn't take a sample at 1200, just changed the oil and filter. I'll take another sample at 10k and probably no more after that unless I think something is up. A report costs $40: https://www.blackstone-labs.com/products/ I plan to do an oil change every 5k, from what I've read, 10k is...
  4. MAJOR Rant: Nissan Black paint on the Z stinks

    I don't trust modern car paint on cars in these price points. I know you don't want to hear this, but I took mine to shop within a week of buying it and spent about $2700 on the following: full decon, with iron remover, clay bar process engine bay cleaned and dressed door jambs detailed...
  5. Short Shifter Install

    Here are a couple pics, probably not too helpful. Use a set of plastic prys so you don’t mar the plastic, it’s not very durable. Here are some basic steps: 1. Pull up the plastic shifter shroud 2. Pull up the center console, there are couple screws on top and 2 on the sides behind the seat...

    How do you switch to wireless CarPlay instead of bluetooth CarPlay?
  7. Shift Knob Removal - No Damage

    That looks great!
  8. 5k Oil Analysis Report - Updated 12/2/25: 10K report

    Got a report back from Blackstone labs on my 2024. I did oil changes at 1200 and 5000. This is the 5000 report, so there was 3800 on the oil. I used Motul 8100 0W20 Eco-Lite. Everything looks good, thought I would share it here. 12/2/25 Update: I've attached the 10K analysis. Oil was Motul...
  9. Z1 spacers?

    No vibrations, even past 120+
  10. Shift Knob Removal - No Damage

    The stillen shifter, at least the one I received, has a few bugs. Once I work them out with Will at Stillen, I’ll post a review.
  11. Shift Knob Removal - No Damage

    I uninstalled the Stillen shifter for the time being. The Billetworkz knob and boot retainer work fine on the OEM shifter and looks nearly identical to the stillen, just slightly taller. You just need to remove the spacer from the OEM shifter. See pic. The worst part of this job is the linkage...
  12. New 2024 Heritage Edition 6 speed for $47k

    Aaaaand it’s gone!
  13. Shift Knob Removal - No Damage

    I did a custom knob and chose Nissan, the thread is pretty standard: 10x1.25mm
  14. Shift Knob Removal - No Damage

    No I didn’t use any heat and I don’t think it was needed. Knob: Billetworkz Shifter: Stillen Boot: @Customebrakes on Instagram
  15. Diff oil temps

    This is the first RWD car I've owned that has a temp sensor for the diff. But yeah, the oil temps stay low unless I push it then they get up there. They come down pretty quick though.
  16. Shift Knob Removal - No Damage

    Good news everyone, you can remove the shift knob without destroying it, with the right tools. I used a large pair of channels locks, vice grips, a belt and a tshirt. Honestly was not that difficult.
  17. Wireless CarPlay Lag?

    I've connected my 15 Pro Max wirelesly but there's a slight lag, like with some bluetooth connections. Wired is of course fine, but I've used wireless airplay in other cars and they don't have any lag. Anyone else had this problem?
  18. Is this totaled?

    Don't take it to a shop that the insurance company works with. Also, don't let any insurance adjusters look at it before the body shop evaluates it.
  19. How was your buying experience (new)?

    Honestly, mine was great. Besides them selling the car 9k below MSRP, the staff was friendly and helpful. The finance guy was also not pushy at all and I didn’t purchase any addons. The sales girl also drove the car an hour to meet me at my local DMV to transfer the registration. Dealership...
