There are 2 things for me that determine comfort in the seat. 1. Proper aim when getting in. My butt needs to be all the way back against the backrest. When my aim is perfect, the seat fits like a glove. 2. If I’m on a longer trip, I take my wallet out of my back pocket. I put about 800 miles...

I can see where uninformed folks might get production and final assembly confused, I suppose. And no doubt, a dealer would use that as a sales tool if they thought it would benefit them.

I think the only thing missing is how many beers are needed from start to finish?

I assumed all Zs are built in Japan. The dealer I purchased from specified that mine was built in Japan. I asked, some aren’t? He said some are built in US. I don’t really care and didn’t look into it further but now that I’ve heard this twice…I’m curious where this info is coming from?

My scenario may be a little bit different than yours. I work from home, but I do get out on a daily basis. If I were going to drive a vehicle with an automatic, it wouldn’t be this car. One of the huge benefits to me, is that this car is offered in a manual. When my wife and I go anywhere and...

The difference in pipe diameter is comical. Thanks for sharing all the pics. Is just a set of ramps under the rear tires all you really need to do this in the driveway?

Paddle shifter for your manual Z?

Having spoken to Ohlins in NC about motorcycle suspension in the past, they are nice and patient folks.

Ironically, I saw that whole video the other day comparing track times between the Z and a Supra. The owner of the car already replaced the original brake fluid with Motul 660 before the track event. The driver lost brakes on track but got them back. What you saw in that video was the 2nd...

That really looks good, I like how you extended the tips past the bumper. Man, making me want to pull the trigger. The 5" tip really fills the gap well as pointed out by Christian.

The price is attractive, just not sure what I think about a 5” exhaust tip. It’s so difficult to judge exhaust by YT sound clips. I might hold out to hear other’s cars at ZDayZ but I really don’t want to wait that long.

Another, recent video on this topic:

I like the idea of a deeper sound.

Ah, didnt see that one. It does look exact, including the 2.25” diameter. Does the piping of the Borla being 2.5” make it louder? I don’t quite understand the importance of piping diameter unless considering doing higher flowing DPs. I see a lot of people like the AWE which is 3” piping.

I’m considering their exhaust. Did you go non-resonated? Any drone? Did Borla make theirs NISMO street? It looks slightly different than the Borla S-Type. Doesn’t have the x pipe up front. The Borla ATAK looks exactly like the NISMO track exhaust. Both Borla versions are 2.5”.

I just ordered another universal joint and extension today in preparation for this job. I saw one fella on a YT who had luck using that setup to deal with the driver’s side hose clamp.

I did full PPF on the front of the car (bumper, hood, fenders), partial roof and A pillars, mirrors, rockers which included the lower portion of the doors and impact areas around the rear wheels. That plus tinting all the glass was $3,475 ($2,800 for PPF and $675 for tint) using Xpel. . I like...

That first wash is so satisfying. I’ve used Adam’s clay block and a clay mitt, both were super easy to use. With the clay mitt, I just washed the car and then filled a clean bucket with car wash soap and “washed” the car again using the clay mitt. I’ve also used a QD and/or an Iron Remover. To...

I am constantly thinking about this. I came from driving trucks for years so curbing wheels or rolling over a curb has never been a concern. But try that in this car and it won’t be good.
