$29.99 for an oil change when I do it myself it costs a lot more. Yet I just don't want dealer's hands on my car. Idk what it is. I know people that worked in auto shops at the dealer and they're not grimy people. Just don't want my car back at the dealer unless absolutely necessary.

I curbed another rim yesterday (stupid mistake, cut a turn to tight/short). I've seen the Rimblade protectors and some others with mixed reviews. Does anyone have experience with these and some recommendations? Other than "don't curb your rims" because that's a given but sometimes I get lucky...

The stock Potenzas served me well this past year but I'm changing the wheels and looking for new tires. What is everyone's experience and feedback of your chosen tire brand? I've been looking at the Pilot 4S but if there's a cheaper option that will perform I'm open to suggestions. Thanks...

I'm looking to get the Nismo Track Exhaust for my Z. I've seen the comparison videos and after listening to them all, the nismo sounded the best in my opinion. Does anyone here have it and what are your thoughts? Also what kind of back pressure is introduced or eliminated/reduced over stock?

I was at a wheel shop recently and someone there who has a Q50 and a VR30 said that because of the way the engine was designed blow off valves are good for the engine. Can anyone verify this?

I'm looking at the Rays Nismo 57CR wheels for my Z. Z1 recommends 19x9.5 +25 in the front and a 19x10.5 +12 in the rear but I don't know what size tire to get so there's no stretching and no rubbing on the fenders. I tried to use this site willtheyfit.com but I can't find the Performance wheel...

Has anyone replaced the steering wheel in their Z? I ordered a Nismo wheel (because reasons) and not sure how to install it. Don't want to take it to a dealer and I don't trust random auto shops.

One day I decided to top off my engine coolant. I accidentally added too much and found some of it will leak out this port on the right side of the tank when the engine is at temperature. I added a hose to allow the excess coolant to drain to the bottom of the car towards the ground instead of...

Anyone here with a stock Z know what their ride height is currently? I forgot to measure my stock ride height before installing coilovers, but now my ride height is 4.25" measured from top of rim to bottom of fender. I'd like to go down another inch but I don't have adjustable toe/camber arms...

I've had the CAI installed for a while now, no exhaust upgrade nor tune. I assumed the ECU would auto-tune itself for the extra air. I have noticed some carbon deposits at the exhaust tips. That means I'm running a little rich right? Other than putting the stock air boxes back, is there...

I had my new Neomax coilovers installed yesterday and forgot to measure the stock ride height. Does anyone know what the stock ride height is? I have no point of reference now. I'm at a specialist right now and they're dialing in the height. I asked for a 4.5" gap between the tire and wheel...

I chose the wrong age to get into auto work as today was painful lol. I installed the trans brace in addition to the Z1 oil catch can, and rotated my tires. Gotta say though the brace made a HUUGE difference in feel of the car. I can feel the engine and transmission now. The power delivery...

It is well known that the VR30 doesn't have the best cooling from the factory. I've also experienced some nerfing while I was at the track on a really hot day. I've been looking at overhauling the cooling system for my Z. I want to upgrade the heat exchanger, the coolant radiator...

I'm trying to decide which to purchase. I've been on the track once so far with the stock suspension but with Stillen sway bars and Z1 endlinks. Side to side body roll is barely there but front back still exists and the car is still very bouncy on the track. HKS is the premium setup about...

This Mazda ad keeps popping up and obscuring the page. I close the ad but sometimes that upper overlay remains. Using Chrome on Android.

I have the '24 Z Performance which has the Akebono calipers. After a track day the pads definitely feel worn as the bite has gone from sharp to soft. The car still stops fine on the street but I do intend on hitting the track again (soon!). I've been looking at all these pads and rotors from...

I'm asking because I'm a little worried that I may have put too many miles on in a short amount of time. How long have you owned your new Z? Is it your daily driver? How many miles have you put on it (approx.)?

Other than alldata, Is there a free database containing torque specs for all if not most of the nuts on the RZ34? I've read the wheel lug nuts are 80-85lbs. But what about other nuts that are part of the suspension system or other crucial areas of the car?

I'm sure it can be done relatively easy but I can't find info about the OEM camera voltage and video signal. Has anyone upgraded theirs?

I'm trying to decide which to upgrade first. The car has a lot of body roll and I'm scheduled for a track day on June 18th. I'm pretty much convinced to buy the Silver Neomax Coilover kit with swift coils and Z1 Performance Sway Bar set. with the endlinks. I'm a little torn between either...
