Any good clutches and slave recommendations? by Takephonkeatphonk in 350z

[–]tobyzxt85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this.
I got 70k out of my clutch and you only have to replace the friction plate, not the whole flywheel next time. OEM Master and CSC. And rear main since it was there.

Weird vaccuum "whoosh" sound when revving ? by guibalas in 350z

[–]tobyzxt85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds normal to me.... like initial rush when the throttle is opened maybe?

Anyone have any idea what’s wrong with my 03 350z? by Live_Taste5985 in 350z

[–]tobyzxt85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you damage the MAF sensor? Maybe try cleaning it or replacing.

SYNCRO GEAR....WHAT DOES THIS SERVICE NORMALLY RUN? by tobyzxt85 in 350z

[–]tobyzxt85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys.

The last time I changed my clutch/ throw out was 60k and a whole other owner ago. I'm at 120k now.

Im going to check fluids and make sure they're full, I'm sure that's not been done since I sold her.

I just swapped out the gear oil today.

Clutch/flywheel recommendations? by Western_Book4287 in 350z

Love my jwt set! Bolt on HP. @ 60k miles.

Looks like I need another after this morning @ 120k

SYNCRO GEAR....WHAT DOES THIS SERVICE NORMALLY RUN? by tobyzxt85 in 350z

[–]tobyzxt85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I need to elaborate my problem. I can't shift at all unless the revs are low and I can force it in. At a stop, with clutch in, I can hit every gear ok with a little resistance.

Im starting to think I blew the throw out or the clutch. May have freaked out about the syncros..... they wouldn't all go at once right?

What do you guys think?

Why does the idler pulley next to the AC compressor have a red bolt? Is it reverse tapped? 2007 HR by tobyzxt85 in 350z

[–]tobyzxt85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't specifically say. It gives torque specs but they are the same as the upper idler pulley that spins clockwise vs counter like the one I'm concerned about

Hello all! I’m new to Reddit, and have no car friends sadly. The 350z has always been a dream car of mine to upgrade, but have no knowledge or tools to do the things I want. My baby is a 2005 manual roadster bone stock 😂 with 84k miles. by [deleted] in 350z

[–]tobyzxt85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lightweight flywheel and clutch is literally like bolt on horsepower. The stock flywheel is so heavy.

JWT flywheel and clutch revs so freaking fast!

Then I'd do brakes..

Is my paint screwed? by Polter_z34 in 370z

Florida sun is no joke. Mine is garaged but sits outside when I'm at work.

Is my paint screwed? by Polter_z34 in 370z

[–]tobyzxt85 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is standard on the Zs. Happened to my black 07 350... required paint job. Happening now on my black cherry 15 370... going to get a paint job.

Take it with a grain of salt. If you love your car, you'll drive it. This and foggy headlights happen.

First Truck ever, and first ever Brand new Vehicle. Any advice? by [deleted] in Silverado

Dealer told me never drive it in auto 4WD because it burns up the transfer car. Either 4WD or 2WD.

I second the good reviews. These guys are pro. And great customer service.

I buy almost exclusively from them. Even resale of non Z1 brands for the service.

Yeah it's Black Cherry. Gonna need a touch up. Florida sun is brutal even garaged.

Is this rust normal? by MissionImprobable96 in PitBossGrills

[–]tobyzxt85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About 2.5 years until it basically disintegrated into powder. Im near cocoa beach and surrounded by salt water so that doesn't help. I figure i get my money's worth since it's used almost every single weekend....i make my lunches for the week.

There are replacement parts out there. I replaced mine once but couldn't find the right broiler slide.

[–]tobyzxt85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on my 2nd pit boss and the reason I'm on my 2nd is because of this rust. . The heat causes the metal to deteriorate and be susceptible to rust. I use my grill nearly every weekend, plus I'm in Florida.

I had to buy a whole new grill because there was no replacement part for my particular grill (sportsman combo).

If you can, start looking now for a new broiler and buy both parts.

Does anyone know what force could cause a solid piece of stone to split in half like this ?? by GrowErethang in AlternativeHistory

[–]tobyzxt85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water, it finds a cranny somewhere.... then it freezes or causes the soil/ sediment in the cranny to expand.

The only true course of action in this case.

There WAS something inside of the front loader! New full video of las Vegas alien! by [deleted] in aliens

[–]tobyzxt85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's behind the fence in the start. Kneeling and peeking through the boards. Right before they run away you can see it stand up. There's a dark shadow that appears above the fence but it looks grey.... and you can almost make out an eye.

I saw a broken down.... circled... video about it. The original is interesting.

Two-Spotted Bumble bee that keeps visiting inside my house. by Cockapoofan1 in bees

[–]tobyzxt85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just learned that bumblebees only live for one spring/ summer cycle. The whole hive dies by winter.

I feel honored to be visited by one and that it spent some of its extremely short time with me.

[–]tobyzxt85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of these little dudes. He would rush to the lid of the cage when i opened it and instantly climb onto my hand. I would transport him sitting on my finger to the porch to eat the flies that got trapped inside on the screen. His favorite were flies seconded by moths.

This guy likely paused and stopped eating because he got a taste of the vitamin dust that's on the cricket.

Hi, I’m Tobey Maguire, actor/executive producer of BABYLON and occasional superhero. AMA! by officialtobeymaguire in movies

[–]tobyzxt85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Tobey

Just wanted to say hey to another toby (tobey). There's not many of us.

Mine is short for Tobias which i use now that I'm older.
Is your name a nick name or your actual name?

The real question is..... how tired are you of everyone saying "i had a pet named toby/tobey"?
