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

[iztrumental]

Did you ever post any exhaust clips? It looks dope.

I did but it was an IG story which I realized later expires lol.

So cool - been torn between this or Stillen. Please let us know how it is. 2nd gate is so sloppy - also how was it getting the OEM knob off heard it was a nightmare - any tips appreciated. LOOKS GREAT love the knob does it have any weight to it?

Shifts are now shorter and more precise. Locks into the gears pretty solid. I feel like any errors are now going to be driver error. Its a bit harder to just put the gear into neutral without getting into the next on its own (for double clutch downshifting)

On the plus side. I think the rattle I thought I was hearing coming from the gauges, is actually coming from the shifter.

There's a little knob that rattles against the plate when the gear is in 5th or 6th (it's the mechanism plate where you have to push down to get to reverse)

I think if I re-adjust, I'll be able to get rid of the rattle

KUHL Racing rear wing came into today - pics are mock up directly out of box - next some sanding, primer and paint. Think its just aggressive enough and love the 3pc.

Not too different than a stock Nismo spoiler eh? Just a smidge bigger.

 

[trackratZ]

Just enough height, good shape and contour, post up the finished install.

About 2.5" higher and wider due to 3pc

Today was new slotted rotors, higher temp pads, high temp brake fluid and stainless steel lines.

I installed z1 steel brake lines aaaaaand had to bleed the master cylinder because I'm new to this (I snapped one of the banjo bolts which set the job back and a lot of fluid was lost) ?

The first line install took about 45min, the rest took about 15-20min each. Bleeding the master cylinder + all the calipers took me 5hrs total.

Installed a Nismo CAI. I am not a mechanic but not a noob with tools but this was an extremely frustrating job. The clamp on the bottom of the airbox is not that hard to take off when you release it the right way. Unfortunately the instructions and videos that I watched were either silent or wrong in their direction. Likewise the clamp on the turbo end were a nightmare to access.

Oh well, done now.

I had a problem with that retainer spring. It's a three-way clip/release, and I thought it was only two.

The problem for me was that any info that I could find said to use two screwdrivers opposite to one another. Using one screwdriver in the middle and rolling the clip/detent down was sooooo much easier.

Went on a cruise around the backroads of Victoria. I hate to say this but, I'm not having a good time driving around here, the amount of craters on the roads does not make this a pleasurable experience. Highway or not, the roads here suck

Anyways, heres some boulders on some hills

Yup. Things us sports car drivers have to deal with. At least the Z has a more GT suspension so for "crappy" roads it makes it less painful than many other sports cars.

I have however noticed the opposite for normal cars in that Nissans in general seem to have stiffer suspension than other cars I have driven. Cars and SUV's like the Sentra and Rogue vs their competitors. Just my experience.

Don't get me wrong, i've driven my fair share of crappy roads in Canada, but Australia is on a different level of crap.
