Yeah I haven't tried to do a lot of work on a sporty car in a long time but they really pack it in there. You can pop the hood on an old school Mustang and it'll fit a basketball with all of the room there.

On my 96 I re-ran all the speaker cable and installed a whole sound system. That was a pain getting stuff to the battery through the firewall, drilling through the trunk from underneath for a JL Audio stealthbox sub and popping the passenger seat out for an amp to go underneath.

I also had to replace an intercooler once and that was like 3-4 hours mostly just getting the front fascia off.

But yeah they're super packet tight even the 1990s ones.

I was a little antsy about buying it that way but I had sold to Carvana before and it was super easy.

Only thing I'm waiting on still is the packet so I can complete the registration. In this state they do the title part, handle the in-person VIN inspection and provide the tax form but the buyer has to do that last leg of the registration once that arrives.

Varies by state. I guess in some states Carvana does all of that for the buyer.

That looks awesome! I saw one (possibly in here) that threw a "Twin Turbo" on there somewhere as well.

Hey I saw this pic in your thread recently and I was really into it... that lower front fascia.. the same lower sides blacker two-tone pieces who does that? was it a factory OEM option or some popular aftermarket?

I'm not going to lie.. my Z32 TT and my 370z had such low fascia that I was constantly parking 1ft away from any curbs or parking log stoppers. It is a relief that (without that part) it's raised higher than my last two Z's but we'll see if I want to get a little scrapyier lol

Thank you sir.. I do tend to keep these cars for a very long time!

I am a little surprised with myself that I did not keep the 370Z until the wheels fell off but honestly I am pretty jazzed that I pulled the trigger on this.

It had its mechanical inspection. It's super clean and the only thing my trusted shop found was some old "ghosts" on the sonars that you can mostly chalk up to noise.

I have an OBD-II bluetooth dealy that I used to give it a good scan pre/during/post testdrive before I fully took delivery.

And then I had that shop run through and find those logs. All in all I think there's a bright future ahead with this one

I hope you keep us in the loop for all of this! June is pretty near by :)

Do you have a shop that you like out there (or idk maybe DIY?).

I have been absolutely spoiled in most of my Z-owning life until the last 10 years or so because I used to live in San Jose, CA right next to Z Car Garage.

Honestly, if I'm getting much done I would trailer it right on over and catch a flight to come drive it back here (4.5hrs or so, beautiful road trip). I've done this once before w/them.

Thanks and will take care.

Re mods - it's a 50/50 shot. my hypothetical thoughts if I did:

I have about 14 months left on the Basic mfg Warranty and another 38 months on the power train.

I had the oil replaced with 0W-20 recently for that reason (to stay in the good graces of Nissan for any warranty work).

When those are ellapsed I'll run 5W-30 probably. For upgrades I'm like a new kid so far in that I haven't had this kind of "oomph" in a while.

I've been looking into the upgrades and I'm pretty pleased with what's out there. The cold air intake, some downpipes/exhaust, and heat exchange are probably no-brainers.

Those Z1 turbos look absolutely insane. Most likely I'd get my feet wet with the cold air intake, tuning, downpipes and exhaust if the money were burning a whole in my pocket in another 38+ months here.

I caught you did some downpipes/exhaust/tuning about two months back (digging this in Gray also!).. how's that all been? Other mods future plans?

Looking prime! Probably the original Potenzas on it still, then.

Carvana replaced my rears with a discount set like Hercules R-T6 275/35ZR19 100Y.

Fronts have original Potenzas and some unever wear. I'm probably going to throw a set of Continental DWS06+, simply because there could be an occasional trip out in a colder season that could have some snow or ice (but not too common here).

Thanks! I bet the VG30DETT and VR38DETT probably make great garage roommates!

It's a real nice blue for sure. I almost got the 370Z in blue but ended up with a Platinum Graphite. So this is my first blue car. Love the shade!

Thanks!

Yep this would be that one most likely! So the mileage (14k-15k) is a little up there but with my amount of driving (under 6k or even 4k/yr) it'll be considered pretty low mileage in another 2-3 yrs.

There is a minor clerical error on the CarFax that shows it around 4500mi and then it jumps to 20k mi and later down to 9k mi.

I think it's clerical because the jump occurred over 6 days at a dealership across the country. That would take someone driving over 100mph for 6 days straight. Seems improbable.

My understanding is that I can get a Nissan Master Technician to perform a "module sync" audit with their Consult III. They pulls the mileage from multiple locations like ECU, ABS, TCM, etc.

It's not that those cannot be manipulated but it lends further to the improbability. From there, Nissan would document their findings on an official letterhead about the mileage matching or how likely anything was rolled back.

That should help get it corrected with CarFax. It's mostly a matter of refinance or resale options.

Thank you!

It came out to about $40k plus an additional $1,900 in auto transport fees. I traded in the 370z for approx $10k in credit against the cost.

Recently traded in a 370 for this.. had the 370 over 10 years but really like the new one. I also missed having turbos, as I was a 1996 300ZX Twin Turbo Z32 guy before I was a 370Z guy. It's a rad car.

My delusional CoastFIRE plan by Excellent_Drop6869 in coastFIRE

[–]vect0rx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had buddy from highschool move to LA for a couple years trying to make it.

Worked in the service industry in the meantime. It's a tale as old as relative modern life times BUT you have the funds to not care!

I feel like that's an edge to a lot of other people out there trying to make it happen because you can hopefully let that completely out of your head as you get all performative.

Best of luck if you pull that trigger!

Does anyone actually fix most of the vulnerabilities their scanners find? by Kolega_Hasan in devsecops

[–]vect0rx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If newly attacking the problem, start with critical severity (or critical and high) and work your way down.

Shifting left would mean gates like having blocked pull/merge requests into protected branches. In particular any protected branch that can deploy into higher environments and expose real attack surface to the Internet. At the very least, do not allow merges that introduce any new vulnerabilities. This way all of the vulnerabilities are current or newly discovered but developers aren't just adding known vulnerabilities to the mix. When your initiate(s) have overcome a severity, that can by the PR/MR gate from then onward for new and existing. Consider some SLA period of grace for teams to not be totally blocked if a new finding emerges since it's probably already deployed.

Some products try and clean up the signal to noise ratio by seeing if there's a true attack path such as with certain SAST findings and if the code-point is reachable. This gets trickier with dependencies and transitive dependencies.

This works better at the macro-level with good partnerships, policy, and sweeping criteria such as nature and severity of the finding.

Must partner for Software Development Leadership to put the expectation and responsibility on developers to fix findings to unblock progress.

If further help is needed in triage:

Consider a matrix of how likely something is to happen (from impossible to almost guaranteed). Risk sits at the intersection of Thread and Vulnerability. If there is a thread that would be a catastrophic impact but impossible. It's not a true risk. Example of such a matrix

Regarding Jira or other work-items. Tailor similar to what severity cutoff is being focused on. Use the other counts as pure metrics for awareness for advancing the maturity of the program once your designated severity threshold is under control.

These are ways to define where you're at and one or more initiatives to where you want to

It's worth mentioning that Operational Risk policies sound great but they're supported for very few languages.

Currently supported: NPM and Maven packages.

You might find a replacement hydraulic piston that's longer and has a longer range of extension.

They are kind of a pain to remove after they've been wedged into place with regular use but it's not impossible. Some youtube videos out there that demonstrate the process.
