Hey just wanted tell you guys. I recently turned the whitewalls to the inside. And had my tires balanced. It is a much better, and smoother ride, compared to before. And I spent almost 2 hours cleaning up my wheels. I would love to take pics, but I need to burn some on Cd, to make room on my camera to take more. Anyway my Z looks much better with the tires black, and my wheels cleaned up.

Here is a little tip if you don't know about it. Use Windex on your tires, they will look new. Seriously, somebody at the tire place told me about it. And I tried it for sh#ts and giggles. It really does work great! And I used Brillo pads on my wheels, then used a wet sponge and a towel to wipe them up. Man it was way worth the time spent!

 

Nice man.. Keep it goin

 

I Found That Simple Green Automotive Is Great Stuff, It Cuts Through Old Brake Dust Even

 

Windex will also accelerate the dry rot process of chlorobutyl rubber... a process which is even further accelerated by hot/dry conditions such as that expereinced in a climate like say... Arizona If you're going to use it to clean the tires, you then need to put a good quality tire dressing (NOT ARMOUR ALL!) on them to keep them from cracking and flaking which will lead to premature failure...

As The Mad Scientist Schools Use All!!! Usefull Knowledge Though Rod, I Hate Armour All

 

No doubt Rod, thanks for the warning on the Windex. On another note, I was having trouble with my clutch not returning. I tried bleeding it last Friday, and it seemed fine. Well Monday morning it acted up again. So I went a bought a new slave cylinder, bled it, with the help of Carl. And woila, my clutch is better than it was before. Also I seem to have more power since I replaced it weird. I think the clutch was slipping with the bad slave. Feel free to post your thoughts.

 

Replacing the slave cylinder wont directly affect power output but it can affect the way you drive the car. When your clutch hydraulics start going out you have to develop a technique for making it work. This usually comes on slowly as the parts start slowly going bad. Then one day you replace them with new parts and now you can just shift the thing. No babying the pedal or any of that crap. Just push the clutch and shift it now. So that power gain you feel is probably in fact your driving style.

That, or check to if the the slave cylinder says "TYPE-R"
