Tech Session 6/12/2005

Who: NV350Z/LVG35C (or whats left of it)
What: Tech Session
Where: My House, unless someone has a better garage without an a** hole neighbor.
When: Sunday June 12th @ 10:00am
Why: Because we need to

1. Mike - Unorthodox Racing crank pulley, Kirk Racing 4-Point Roll Bar, Fire Extinguisher
2. Cris - OEM HID
3. Ty- 350Evo Sways, Tein Flex w/EDFC, Maya 19" RT5s, Fluidampr Crank Pulley
4. Aarif - Finish painting rear calipers, Also try to fix squeeking from the spoiler rubbing on the hatch? (I think thats what it is)

^^^Aarif: I was looking at that when we did the photo shoot and I don't think there is any way that it would be the spoiler.

Im down for that session, its almost a month away so hard for me to tell but Ill keep it open.

As for the spoiler, I think it is because when you press down on the car from the hatch you can hear it... it just sounds like there is friction and make the squeeking sound when going over bumps or having any small vibration in the ride.

But don't the little point things sit about 1" from the hatch? If it was rubbing you would see marks I would think.

I have to ask, I didnt install it... I also thought there would be some sort of gasket thing that would sit between the two, but like I said, I didnt install it so... who knows? Ill have to ask the guy who painted and installed it for me.

As for bodykits, I still have that Nismo replica... Its harder to sell it than I thought so maybe Ill just install the sideskirts and rear diffusers and find a lip I like more?

Canceled my suspension because I was tired of getting jerked around by the vendor. I'll worry about it when I get back from Thailand.

I'll be out of town that day, but it just occurred to me that since I just put my deposit down on the TURBO that I'll be selling my Borla headers in the next couple of months. Maybe my Borla exhaust as well, I'll most likely get the APS true dual exhaust. So if anyone is interested, let me know.

Not too hard, it does take a bit of patience though. Took about 1.5 hours.

I'll do a demo with Zaino if someone is unsure how to do it. If you get the supplies ( Zaino, towels, clay. ) I'll do a demo. I'm sure that we can get at least three coast on someones car during the tech session.

That would be cool, but you have to talk like you are on an infomercial.

The instructions from Zaino make it seem alot harder than it really is.

1. Wash with Dawn to remove any wax.
2. Claybar.
3. Wash with Z7 or other mild car wash to remove film from the claybar.
4. Apply Z2 or Z5 polish. (Z2 for new clear coats, Z5 if you have swirls)
5. Remove polish when dry (about 20-30 minutes if you use the ZFX quick dry acellerator)
6. Buff with Z6 gloss spray. (very easy...spray on, wipe off)
7. Repeat 4-6 until you get the gloss to the level you want.

Took me about 4 hours to get 2 coats of Z2 and Z6 on my car. After a month, it still looks (and feels) fantastic.

If you use it once, you will be hooked. Worth every penny.

Hopefully I'll have my garage restored to a reasonable level of order by then.

My sways finally shipped, so I have something to do now. I just need to figure out what settings to put them at. I'm thinking medium front, full stiff rear.
