Been cleaning the interior the past couple days...

Mr Clean Magic Eraser does wonders... cleans and brightens up 17 year old leather to a 'like new' finish and gets rid of those nasty stains :fullofwin:

[SpuGen]

Well, technically not mine, yet.
Lowballed the fuck out of the guy.

He took it.

Carproofed.

Ended up going from a Steal, to a decent deal.:notbad:

And by lowball, I mean I offered him half of what he was asking.

Don't know if that counts for this thread...

[spoon.ek9]

washed both, then claybar and hand wax on the ek. buttery smooth :sweetjesus:

[The_AK]

Replaced bent lower control arm, hope steering knuckle or subframe aren't bent

[AVS_Racing]

washed, waxed my dad's race car :troll:

[lowda9]

Relocated the battery to the trunk.

[impulseX]

dash cam :D

[LuHua]

Swapped out the rear swaybar for a thicker one, and poked a nice little hole in the back of my hand trying to wrench off the bloody nut holding the rsb to the endlink. Using an impact to loosen next time...

[Yodamaster]

Polished a turd.

Removed an uber rare part from one of the 240z's.

Considering buying a neighbour's 240sx.


Where the fuck am I putting all of these project cars? :fuckthatshit:

Need some advice, what do you guys think of the black nissan lettering on top of my plastidipped emblem? I just plastidipped the rear and I'm trying to decide if I should black out the nissan lettering or just leave it. My friend said the black looks cheap :( Or if there's any other way to black the lettering out over top of plastidip please let me know

I'd say do the front plastidipped emblem. I don't really like the shiny emblem so that I plastidipped both front and back.

Oh my. Alignment time. I can't believe how well my pirellis have held up with 4.0 degrees neg camber over the last 20k. I lowered my coils in the front about 3 threads today. I think I'm gonna do the last 5 threads next time I jack up the car next week. I might have to remove the perches from the rear since they are already all the way down.

[fliptuner]

I thought I was just going to swap a cylinder head today (burned valve). The replacement was suuuper clean from what I remembered (still silver up top, not even oil stained) but I never bothered looking at the valve faces. When I went to clean the bottom of the head for the new gasket..... fuuuuuu .......massive amounts of carbon deposits. I mean enough to raise the compression ratio a fair bit. The head was rebuilt but came off a high mileage motor with worn rings, that was burning a lot of oil.

Anyways, a couple of hours later, all the valves were cleaned, both mating surfaces prepped, everything assembled and tuned, easy peasy, car runs good again.

Hmmm...no wonder it idled like a lawnmower

I get about ~280 maximum on 94 :badpokerface:

Holy that's like v12 gas consumption right there

[freakshow]

I get about ~280 maximum on 94 :badpokerface:your 75 litre tank gets 280kms? That's 26L/100KM. That's worse than a Bugatti Veyron. So either, you're not measuring it correctly, or gas is spilling out of your tank as you drive..

[CharlieH]

^

my m6's 65L tank gets 240km in the city. i pussy foot it too lol :(

[Z3guy]

^on my M5, 70% power button off shifting at 3500rpm and 30% with power button on and I get 230kms for 60L.......

[smoothie.]

i felt bad that my accord only got 450 a tank.

come into this thread, problem solved :lawl:

[asr]

My car is about 300-320kms per tank

I get even less if I drive it like a race car, no I'm not leaking, it just nom's gas :fuckthatshit:

[originalhypa]

On an average track day I'll put 100-110 kms on my STi.
I'll also have to get gas if I want to track after 3pm, because I'm pretty damn empty after that.

Welcome to the world of the STi.
:lol

[freakshow]

.. i stand corrected. but that's insane.. I thought 390 on 70L was bad (my car)

[belaud]

You don't buy a subaru for its fuel saving brilliance :troll:

My car reads out to 12L/100KM, if thats the case, I should be getting nearly 700KM's :lol

[dared3vil0]

When i'm driving the Pathfinder, It gets just under 400KM/tank and it's an 80 liter tank. That's ~20l/100km? The Maxima is suprisingly good on gas. Give or take 20MPG so around ~11l/100km

[jing]

35L can take me 420km all day long and I know it can do better. No hwy mpg in mine since 100km in 5th is over 3k rpm lol

[Mr.C]

Switched the glass on my headlights, and put in 4300K bulbs. WAY better than before!

[freakshow]

You don't buy a subaru for its fuel saving brilliance :troll:haha.. i don't expect an STi to be sipping gas, but to use more gas than a Veyron sounds a little crazy

40 L tank gets me ~350 km of pure city driving, one tank lasted me almost 500 km when I went from Vancouver to Cloverdale and Surrey a lot. 91 octane.

[knight604]

belaud why are you getting shit mileage...????

:rukidding:

[EvoFire]

I don't feel so bad about 300km every 40L:badpokerface:

I get 400-420km at 63L .

[Energy]

belaud why are you getting shit mileage...????

:rukidding:

Because race car?

My last tank was 444kms filled with 59L.

[westopher]

belaud why are you getting shit mileage...????

:rukidding:
Honestly, its from either retarded driving habits, or a broken car. Unless you drive like 4km to work every day and it takes you 2 hours due to standstill traffic.

[belaud]

Well duh, gutta stay in 1st gear forever :lol

60L tank gets me around 350-400KM

Mine gets over 500km to a tank mixed driving

Just to continue the mileage portion of this thread, my auto 2.5L gets 11.54L/100km when I drive it like a grandma (keeping it under 3k RPMs - I only drive ~20km a day in city traffic). A full tank is ~51L (87 octane) and that gets me ~440kms. I had to purposefully drive like a grandma for a full tank to get that mileage.

My GTI 337 (1.8T - 6spd) used to get ~450kms per tank which worked out to roughly the same mileage (~12L/100kms) using 91 octane but I got that with a combo of regular spirited driving and hypermiling.

I miss my 337. :okay:

I do have to remember that my 2.5 is an auto and it's also a wagon (heavier) so that's two strikes against fuel economy. But it just sucks to have to drive slow to get the same mileage.

Installed new speakers into the Element. Pioneer TS-A1684R, a great improvement in sound quality compared to the crappy stock speakers.

In other news, after a 1500km drive to San Francisco in scorching heat and intense uphill highway sections at 4000rpm+, idle is sounding a little "tickier" than usual. Probably time for a valve adjustment.

Brakes are also getting worse, warped before the trip, now warped even more and something wrong with the brake fluid/master cylinder causing sudden pressure changes during high speed braking. I suspect deteriorated brake hoses. Going to get it looked at as soon as I return back to Vancouver.

[westopher]

Coils are all the way down now. Mashed the fenders up a bit with a tire iron and some cardboard to give some clearance. (fenders are already messed from rubbing, and a hit and run that isn't covered because I was still on my alberta insurance.)

I ended up claying the whole car, windows, trims, every inch.

The car usually gets a clay every summer, but I thought i'd skip out this year. I thought wrong. Atleast now it's as smooth as a baby's bottom, but I'll need to do a minor polish and wax soon.

Took my Z to Morrey Nissan today to get serviced and also to get the hatch release thing fixed. Common problem with 370z... when you push the trunk release button the hatch pops up a little bit but doesn't release it from the locking mechanism so you have to push the button twice while pulling up on the hatch to get it to open. When I pick up my car the guy tells me I should get new struts because my aftermarket spoiler is too heavy for the trunk :suspicious::seriously:.... Here is a picture of my car, the black one is mine

Interesting story, man. Do you have a trunk relase button under your dash? How does that work? Not familiar 370z, but for g35 it works good. However, G35 doesn't have a release button on the trunk.

[Limitless]

The only way to open the trunk is through the trunk release button on the rear bumper by the license plate lights. The 370z doesn't have a trunk release button on the dash or the key fob

Try unbolting the latch and move it down a bit?

It'll make it so the trunk is being held down lower, and more snug on the Weather Stripping. So when you go to release it, the trunk "Springs" back up.

Worked on 240's.

If I remember correctly, Noble came up with that idea.

Unwrapped it.
Shits heavy as fuck.

Welds look decent on it. Im not too worried yet. But it's not like I can haul it to work and redo them. And my Miller 211 can't do it until I switch the 230v socket at home to the proper plug.

Also have to move some shit around to install it. There's a stripped chassis waiting to get stitch welded inthe way. :)

But if hypa or somebody else wants to help me install it on Saturday, PM me. I need a hammer drill.

As you can see, the garage is all fuckity right now. Gotta move a whole bunch of shit out of the way.

And that sectioned part of the garage to the right is full of stuff already.

Good thing I didn't impulse buy that lathe and drill press from some guy I know. Stupid cheap. But.. I have zero room for it.

The plan this year is to remodel the garage. But first, I need to install the lift so I can finish this car.

Then I'll have space to fuck around.

Have a work table, and wall mount shelf behind the first pic.

Never had room to organize and make new shelves/tables.

I swear, every car that gets worked on in this garage doesn't leave for 3-6 months. Then when it does, another car goes in.

Well, I did have some room to make stuff. But then the lift came, and it's sitting on 2 pallets. Gonna be cheap and use the wood from that to make more shelves on that side of the garage. Maybe a tire rack, so I don't have to stack them on the ground.

15 minute O2 sensor change for a friend, turned into a 5hr ordeal.

It snapped flush with the exhaust manifold on my buddy's RX7 (FC). Had to remove the air pump, hoses, and 2 port solenoids, just to get to the manifold bolts. Of course the heat sheild and downpipe bolts snapped. Then, since I didn't want to fuck up the threads by drilling it out, I had to break out the hot wrench and use an easyout. Of course that didn't work so I ended up heating what was left of the sensor and collapsed it inside the hole with a punch.

Good times, good times.

[fliptuner]

dam $300 to change wheel bearings? My mechanic just quoted me $300 to do my clutch and machine flywheel.

$60+ machining, $100 for a clutch disc/ $300 incl. PP and bearing, 3+hrs labour. That's either a really good buddy that's doing you a favour, not a licensed shop, or pure labour cost.

I got quoted 480 for replacing my whole assembly (left+right) on a 350z that's parts and labour.... 300 to replace "a" bearing is overkill :( sorry to hear


Bolt in vs pressed in. Your wheel bearings only require 4 bolts to be removed to swap the bearing/hub assembly, where as his requires the whole knuckle to be removed and the races pressed out of the knuckle and stub shaft, then new ones pressed in and the knuckle reassembled. There's a huge discrepancy in labour. I could do yours in 1.5 hours in my driveway, his requires a press.

What he was charged is very reasonable and you shouldn't be making the guy feel bad when you don't know what's entailed in the job or you can find people to basically work for nothing.

[lowda9]

^^ My neighbor who is a retired mechanic:) He's the only person I trust to work on my car besides myself, cuz...he's my neighbor lol.
I guess its not that amazing of a deal, since I'm providing the clutch disc and pressure plate for him, so ya pretty much labor. But I save on paying taxes.
