Ok. so my car just couldn't wait till next week. (Broken part III.)

[dasoupdude]

It appears that today's daily break is focused yet again on the driver side door handle, AND..as an added bonus the weather strip has detached (somehow)

(once again this all conveniently happens RIGHT when it starts to downpour)I return from subway and open the door with two hands (since the first problem I'm sure your remember from the last episode why i do this) i suddenly hear something which sounds like a pencil of steel breaking into two pieces. I look down and half my handle is in my hand while the rest is still on the door.

Ive decided to humor the good people with some excellent pics.













and ive decided to show you how the interior looked..along with the cd player which randomly decided to be an ash hole. That silver trim in the middle came with the car since i got it used, i would like to take it off but it would leave alot of adhesive behind and it would look like shat.

and uh idk, here's my new stupid license plate frame.



Look what happened to my balloonhttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/356370

Soup man you are really going through a bad time. Talk to richie he knows how to break in a car properly.

Something good has to come out of this sooner or later, hopefully sooner. Just keep the juicin and everything will work out.

[dasoupdude]

The only thing richie will tell me is what i recommend wearing while breaking in the motor.

I ordered my door handle from Nissan anyways few days ago, that goes along with the air vent, I'm gunna take a wild guess and say you have to take off the door panel to replace the weather strip.

I need a 350z in a junkyard asap. (not death wishing any of you.)The driver side strip costs $89 bux. F that.

As for the juice, it stays goin, (poke poke)

dude, your car..... did you do a carfax?.... seems as if that sucker was under water, very deeply!.... everything is failing! your Z is full of fail - Lemon Law?

BTW the answer on your plate frame is A & B

[dasoupdude]

Oh yeah i forgot to humor everyone about the day (4 weeks ago) i found out my car was in a wreck..nothing too serious though.

[rmezz13]

ok what kinda of damage was done? obviously the driver side door, since most of the current eff ups are on that door!.... i'm thinkin you should sell it/trade it in on another Z..... you don't want a car thats been wrecked... for some reason things keep going wrong on them - as you've experienced

[dasoupdude]

Damage wasnt that bad, it was an inspected by one of my buds over at the z performance shop, they put it on a lift and said everything was fine its just i need a new passenger rear tire rod.

If I were to compare the damage to something it would be like somebody that took a bat and gave the rear quarter panel a few good whacks.

ok for some reason a tear just rolled down my eye

[Slider4105]

Soup I am rolling on the ground in laughter...thank you....and the word balloons, EPIC! I don't wish anymore damage but dayum if it isn't hilarious.

When did they say your door handle is supposed to be in?

[bmike818]

maybe you need to take your car to a priest...to get rid of her demons.

sorry to hear your poblems, and thanks for sharing...cuz you know sharing is caring

[dasoupdude]

They said a couple of days..and its been a couple of days no call yet



has anyone noticed the stupid license plate frame though, i wanted some stupid opinions, perhaps a flame here and there.

[Slider4105]

Wouldn't this be part 2.5? I mean technically the problem with the door handle has just been exacerbated. I would say superglue down the molding, save you some money.

[R350Zz33]

i recommend wearing some nice black and white puma shoes while break-in in the engine wore them for my road test they are light and narrow enough to really get a feel for the petals. Aslo so cargo shorts and a polo be it ralph loren A.E. ext......

[dasoupdude]

Someone make R350 fashion design/clothing moderator lmfao

[xjmxstac]

that weather strip thing broke on me yesterday. It got caught up on my shirt as I was getting out of the car. I guess I wasn't wearing clothes Z drivers should be wearing...

[carbon z]

I would suggest some fine silk tear away clothing. That way if you get caught on the trim you'll be half naked, but your trim won't break. As to Richie, have you ever heard of proof reading? Check your spelling, check your grammar before you hit POST. You may look half ways intelligent

[BlackSmoke]

Yup should be 2.5 seriously, hope everything gets fixed.

truth, but the weather strip was the new "faulty" part lol

We've tried to tell him this but he said something along the lines of, "Oh sorry I'm not perfect and don't know how to spell everything." And refuses to try / get it through his skull that it's annoying as balls.

I say super glue that bish down and call it a day.......and don't break anything else, I'm starting to feel bad for you and I don't like that feeling lol.

[dasoupdude]

Super glue wont work, you can tell just by the way it looks closeup even a good amount will eventually cringe off and snap back up, and after it does you might get caught in a whirlwind of getting used to gluing it dayz on end.

And the glue might ruin in the paint on the inside, but regardless I guess I have to go visist my buds at Nissan Parts again and go order my butt a weather strip.

[Soravia]

There are plenty of wrecked Zs to get yourself a whole new door. Just google for Nissan Inifiniti wreckers.

[R350Zz33]

I think we need to make a "HELP DASOUPDUDE FIX HIS Z" fund

[rmezz13]

How about a "help ryan SC his Z fund"..... sounds better to me!

Someone make R350 fashion design/clothing moderator lmfao

I might be able to get him a special title if hes a good sport about it..... So Richie, are you down, and i will see about getting you one?

(off topic a little so e-mail me)

[dasoupdude]

All im sayin is...

new week.

[R350Zz33]

as long as it dont make me look gay. And how bout A HELP RICHIE TT HIS 08Z FUND.

[snwbrdr435]

you sure somebody didnt try to break into your car?

[dasoupdude]

See the thing im not sure, and if it was, its a stupid story because i was within 10 feet of my car when it happend, and the person who tried to break in, ended up being my friend who fux around with everyones cars, and if it was him then i guess he "unintentionally" broke off the handle.

But i doubt it was him the worse he does is fold mirrors in so when your driving you have the potential to side swipe someone in the lane over because you didn't know the mirrors were in.

[Slider4105]

Go to the dealer and tell them you will key the GTR if they don't give you your door handle.

[dasoupdude]

Hahaha If its still there im going there in about 50 mins (AGAIN) to go pick up my door handle and a/c ventage.

and perhaps order a weather strip..maybe..cause thats something not worrth $90 ill just have to get richie to junkyard skav3nger for me.
