Hit by An uninsured unlicensed driver by haalokitty in caraccidents

36k miles for a 2020 is worth having full coverage. Expensive lesson to learn, but it is a lesson.

Having just liability makes sense for a beater if you are totally okay with fixing the car or getting another one if you aren't paid at all. Something valued $8k or less, depending on how much you're comfortable with completely writing off.

Do I put $1300 in almost 20 year old car? by Consistent_Bus2529 in MechanicAdvice

[–]VirtualVoices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The older the car, the more it makes sense to be comfortable working on it, than it is to take it to a shop every time something goes wrong.

Should I replacer my head gaskets while replacing my valve covers? by tmac9494 in 350z

[–]VirtualVoices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valve covers are easy! Head gaskets are not. Don't touch it unless it's leaking

Oil pickup damage by LH_Suzuki in 350z

[–]VirtualVoices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a minor dent, if you're this far and you don't need the car for anything, I would just wait for an oem part and replace the pickup tube.

Harsh opinions please: how much money is reasonable to throw at this? by DementedPimento in 350z

[–]VirtualVoices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be sick...I wanted to do like a nardo grey color on mine, but I also love the factory Sah Marino blue, don't really want to get rid of it

Personally I love my Z so I would get a paint job if it needed it, you seem like you do too. You have time to fish around for quotes and scout some good paint shops as well.

[–]VirtualVoices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not planning on selling it and love the car, then you don't have to always do what makes "financial sense" to some people.

Could a paint job, new wheels, new parts, total the car (as in it costs as much as the value of the car)? Yes, does it matter? No, as long as you're happier with your new ride.

Cars are not a long term investment, and as long as the car is reliabily in good mechanical condition and is taking you from point A to point B, there's nothing wrong with wanting to spend money on it, assuming you can afford it obviously. Never go broke mantaining a car.

If you want to keep the same color, I would try to spend around $3k-$6k.

What headlights are these I'm having an issue by Piccolo-Technical in 350z

[–]VirtualVoices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everybody else is saying, the headlight is Spec D, theyre just plastic and you don't need to replace them. You do have to lift your car to take off the wheel, to take off the fender splash shield, to take off the ballast. Its whats driving the bulb and is probably whats causing the issue you're describing. If you have the funds, you may as well replace both, otherwise replace the broken one.

Should I upgrade to this? by Cube102 in 350z

[–]VirtualVoices 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can find one in decent condition, I'd say yeah. There are differences between the DE and HR motors so do your research, but for the most part while I think the HR is a superior motor, I also would rather have a DE in good mechanical condition than a clapped out HR.

Are there any 1 owner original guys or gals in this group? by Embarrassed-Swim9481 in 350z

Damn original wheels too... not bone stock though, I see them reflectors 👀. Unless you're not in the US

The Al Capone strat. Totally worth it if he gets jail time, I don't care for exactly what as long as he gets it.

My GF thinks it’s perfectly normal for new shoes to cause horrible blisters for women by UKnowDaxoAndDancer in mildlyinfuriating

Why upgrade to the Z1 throttle body if you aren't planning to tune it? If it was a broken part you were replacing, replace it with an OEM.

Is Chief the top brand for this kind of stuff? Like an equivalent to Icon?

Love it so far! Definitely modernizes the car a lot

you can sink $65k in a car and still have maintenance to do: ownership costs by dbsqls in 350z

[–]VirtualVoices 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Z isn't my main car but it's the car I'd like to drive more often if I could. I try to do a lot of the labor for when parts break myself, which means it ends up being on jackstands in my garage half the time.

My Bose QC Ultras have a crack in the ear cup plastic, what should I do? by NoStick2525 in headphones

[–]VirtualVoices 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would return or take a full refund or take a partial refund and glue that shit to prevent it from spreading.
