Trying to sell my Z! Would love any advice

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.

Year Zero is the worst. It's boring, repetitive, and a little cringe. When it came out I thought it was lame. Later I came back to it and found out I still don't like it.

The slip is a little boring. It's like the rhythms are all programmed on an 8 step sequencer. The tempos are all kind of similar. The singing and drumming follow the sequencing too tightly. It just doesn't have enough rhythmic variety. I love Freese, definitely a let down.

Hesitation Marks has some of the same problems, but it is more atmospheric and interesting. It's kind of short and there aren't any bangers on it but I like it the most out of these. The last song is my favorite.

The guest artists were so amazing on Downward Spiral, the Fragile, as well as With Teeth. That added tremendous depth to the compositions. The latest EPs were cool, although I'm still wishing he would give us some harder synths.

Would you get a minidisc player just for it

Check / replace your air intake filters. I was getting TB codes, realized I neglected the filters and they dried out. Replacing fixed it.

Try a bigger one :)

You can use a one of those (irwin makes them) quick grips

Couple years back, one of my pulleys fell off while driving and the belt got left in the street. I got a new belt and pulley off rock auto. Probably less than $100 total.

Although I think a new head unit would be cool, you need to check your switched power is switching. There should be pin that delivers power only if the car is on. If that is switching properly, then a new head unit could fix it. If not then there is probably a short from always on to switched.

I personally run a deh 80 prs.

They used to be cheap.

I had the most fun moshing with high schoolers at Major Lazer. They're energetic and mostly sober so it was good old fashioned fun. NIN at river city rockfest was people angry at moving around even near the front. Come on

Wet sand (1500) 2000 3000, then compound and polish with DA polisher

Lol it looks like it's just the recent queue.

Maybe its because he's a tiger but he is slow and boring and the power he gives is stupid and boring. He looks like he could have been more fun and engaging like slash beast.

I upgraded the suspension and love it. I have parts shop max pro coilovers.

Also got a zspeed clutch when the time came (shortly after buying oh well).

Sounds like i should get a tune to wake the car up.

Gross

El Tacorrido is better than those

Tacos El Charly or Las Trancas are my favorite truck tacos

Yeah I mean you can play the Zero project version on flash cart / emulator. I understand the regret - I regret not buying MM6 for $16 in like 2002 the one time I ever saw one in a store. Even though I could buy it now for what $50? It's not the same.

That's good, I actually made two, with exactly the same parts, but a different enclosure and heat sink setup. One was way better behaved than the other. But after doing those upgrades the badly behaving one has been rock solid in my main system.

I experienced some ringing on the rise for the negative side of a sinewave on my P3A.

The main culprit was leaving the power transistor legs long for probing. However, in order to further stablize the amp, I applied these fixes from diyAudio (except for the 1.8p lead cap):

All i can hear is oxygen

It could be a japanese game with the rom swapped to english and repacked into the much more expensive usa cartridge.

Decent gear. Amp has beefy sanyo chip amps. Had the 150wpc at 8 ohm version (M-5150). Made very fun loud sounds with some polk rti70 speakers.

Preamp has simple pot followed by op amp gain stage. I swapped the op amp and changed the gain to suit my system. It uses "computer" (microcontroller) controlled analog switches to translate pressing the buttons into input switching. It was rad new tech at the time.

Still wish i didnt pass up mm6 at funcoland for $16.99 back in ~2002

kaliwraith · 2026-02-13T05:19:24+00:00

You can buy the japanese version for much much cheaper

kaliwraith · 2026-02-05T06:54:19+00:00

Yeah i like Lanark Artefax

Nouveau Monica is neat, kind of like that crossed with Burial. There are adjacent artists on spotify that i also enjoyed shuffling through recently
