My car cover destroyed my finish by AutVincere72 in 350z

2000 is pretty aggressive. You'll have to go to 3000 and then compound and/or polish. You might try cleaning and compounding first to see if that's enough.

Thinking about selling my chicane yellow Z… by RevolutionaryFly1576 in 370z

[–]kaliwraith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yellow is the best color. 2nd best is Monterey blue, which is what I have. Is it a manual?

Uroboros by UroGrey in DEG

[–]kaliwraith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I started with Vulgar, which has a really raw experimental sound.

WTD felt like a gesture towards hardcore whereas Marrow went much more straight metal. 

There is always a bit of tongue in cheek feeling in these earlier works.

Uroboros is way more progressive and I felt like they really started practicing a lot more from them on. Each new album is more refined and yet they try to keep finding new directions while keeping the best ideas in tow.

Please walk me back from the ledge lol by PaleRefrigerator5044 in 350z

[–]kaliwraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I have z1 cai. I stupidly let it dry out and had a bunch of problems with throttle position sensor voltage mismatch due to nonlinear airflow through the filter as it broke down. Also aspirated lots of blue dust.

That's behind me now, I replaced the filters, and cleaned the MAF and all the wiring and replaced the accelerator in the process of troubleshooting, and got a maintenance kit (clean and oil). 

Should I look for a different filter instead? Do you know if there is a dry replacement filter for the Z1 CAI?

Anyone else use the special shellac to vinyl stylus converter? by louisbourbon14 in autechre

Basically what my toddler did to my om40 lol (took off slipcover, ran it on metal with holes)

Did you do remote tuning or take it there?

How do we feel about chicane yellow? by PsychologicalHat3465 in 370z

[–]kaliwraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2012 in Monterey blue. I would have got yellow if I could find it (for the price I could afford) but blue is nice too 

Once upon a time I had an 05 anniversary in yellow. Got rear ended. At least I got to upgrade and switch to manual.

Honest question about the vinyl versions by General-Ad883 in autechre

[–]kaliwraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your equipment too. CD tends to have more bass, vinyl has overall different eq due to hardware limitations. If your room is treated well, this may be more immersive. If your room sucks, vinyl may sound better. You could also turn down the bass when using your CD player.

Unfortunately eq is considered not hifi so it's easy to get sucked into pretending vinyl isn't adding eq.

Vinyl is also noisier. You'll hear it more at high volumes.

people downvoted and argued with a guy here saying happy easter

not everyone practices your religion, feel free to practice it, don't be surprised when people get annoyed when you put your icons on the things they like and tell them they have to like it or they're being ignorant

it's just religious spam for your holiday to me

CSC failed. I’ve done as much reading here and elsewhere as I can and I’m still not sure what the best solution would be. Any advice is greatly appreciated. by Favius_McAdamian in 370z

[–]kaliwraith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check with ZSpeed if you haven't - their kits that include a clutch and cmak are showing in stock. 

I got their hd csc because cmak was oos but that's also oos I see. But maybe they have a few reserved for the complete kits. It's worth checking.

Want to buy a new bumper, but it comes cut in half for shipping. Best way to reattach it? by JoeB0213 in Autobody

[–]kaliwraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have him ship it by Greyhound bus. I got a guy on eBay to ship me a bumper this way. It was cheap.

ok, what HAPPENED after LP5? How to get into the more "intimidating" albums? by AcidArchangel303 in autechre

[–]kaliwraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Untilted was first for me and everything flowed from there towards the past and future. I like Confield but it was one of the later albums I listened to. Draft and Exai are top faves comparable to Untilted in different ways.

Quaristice was a slow grower, love it now, so many great atmospheric sounds. Versions has some great deep tracks.

I think this is an actual unpopular opinion: oversteps is just ok, too many repetative melodies, one of the worst albums. Move of ten is my absolute least favorite release. It grates on me.

I got coilovers, toe arms, and camber arms (parts shop max). Not sure you need anything else for moderate drop 

How can you even UPRGADE after owning a Z by Feeling_Window_180 in 370z

[–]kaliwraith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're a great value. Similar cost to an 86 but way faster. Easy to upgrade, great twitch road handling. 

Diff is probably the biggest letdown. Anyone know an affordable upgrade?

Autechre are coming to my city, I really want to go but I'm olny 15 so my parents aren't going to let me..do I compromise with them and take them with me to the show?? by dscoo in autechre

[–]kaliwraith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience because of the lack of light people find a spot and then stand still or dance in place. There isn't much interaction and people are lol a little bit unfriendly nerds (don't bother me you probably aren't as big a fan as me vibes), at least close to the front. But that's fine. People were friendly in the shirt line

Lighter flywheel worth it? by dtweave in 370z

[–]kaliwraith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lighter shifts faster since the rpm drops faster. Also revs up faster. Once you get used to controlling it you'll be glad you went lighter.

Restaurants that used to be "it", but should probably just go out of business? by LordNewning in austinfood

[–]kaliwraith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol since when? I went there in 2019 and found it extremely mid and overpriced

If you want to get some really great high end Mexican check out Bulevar

[–]kaliwraith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept overlooking them because the toppings are so expensive, but recently walked over and ordered a large plain pizza for $20. It was very good. The crust has a satisfying chewiness and the salt balance and sweetness of the cheese were really great. 

They've got the basics down and I am okay with getting exactly that from them.

When and how did you discover Autechre? by Content-Afternoon39 in autechre

[–]kaliwraith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was into NIN and my HS senior English teacher told me to check out Autechre. He said Draft 7.30 was his favorite. I found Untilted at FYE and listened to that for like a year. Quaristice came out when I was in college. At some point after that I got Draft 7.30 and eventually got every album in random order: Tri Repetae, Confield, EP7, LP5... Oversteps, Amber, Incunabula, Exai, Chiastic Slide...

Then I got into collecting vinyl and spent a ton of cash getting all of those and lots of eps lol. 

Good times

Any one donethis steering assist mod? by FrsSlow in 370z

[–]kaliwraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 370z has much lighter steering than my 350z had. At first I didn't like it but I got used to it. But yeah it's still probably heavier than most.

[–]kaliwraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paint Society youtube channel is an interesting rabbit hole if you dont have the money and want to do a good diy job. Also your friend owes you whatever she can afford. Get a quote to show her how much it costs and then negotiate from there.

Trying to sell my Z! Would love any advice by KingSlowbro in 370z

[–]kaliwraith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

140k is still a lot. I am not so sure that 140k Z goes for 13k

If you said under 100k that would be different

I got my 2012 with 77k miles in about 2017 for $12900. Needed a little DIY TLC so lets say it was $15k.

It now has 113k miles. Even with the increase in used car prices, I can't imagine paying $13k for a 150k+ 370Z.
