> After Audi acquired Lamborghini they released the Diablo 6.0 and needed to give it an update. The most noticeable update was the loss of pop-up headlamps. In their place were a set from the Nissan 300ZX and they look right at home. Nissan also needed a set of headlamps for its R390 race car and again the 300ZX gave them up. I guess you could call the 300ZX the slut of the headlight world in the 90’s. > **[The Nissan 300ZX Shares Its Parts With A...](https://jalopnik.com/the-nissan-300zx-shares-its-parts-with-a-5166209)** > > After Audi acquired Lamborghini they released the Diablo 6.0 and needed to give it an update.

> [@Wahoo](#): > > Does it feel faster than the bmw? In a word, yeah. The BMW had shorter gears (3.91) than this (3.42) so you were shifting more often, the motor was more eager and more rev happy with the cam and LS6 manifold, and just overall felt more “peppy” up top - but then again it had DBC, all torque management removed, etc. However the Vette weighs 1000lbs less than the BMW so at lower revs the Vette responds MUCH better to throttle inputs. Even with the tall gears you just breathe on it on the highway in 6th and revs start to climb. I’m curious to see what the vette runs at the dragstrips as it is, pretty much bone stock. I’m guessing low 13s, which is on par with where the BMW was - difference being that the BMW was pretty much full bolt ons and even a cam where the vette is basically bone stock. > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > It’s kind of a 300zx inside joke.

Took the wife to the driving range and hit a couple buckets of balls. Car ran flawlessly. I spent Super Bowl Sunday morning washing the exterior, vacuuming inside, detailing the dash and door panels, cleaned glass, and cleaning the “udders” inside the engine compartment. Some minor leaves/crap in the udders, removed them and the AC drain and hosed them down inside and out. Picking up a set of Z06 Titanium mufflers tonight locally to replace the droning no name bullet mufflers on the car now Now that the car is pretty much all set with maintenance, I am going to passively start looking for some longtubes and and LS6 intake. In the meantime while I wait for spring I’ll be trying my hand at paint correction since the clearcoat has random light scratches everywhere from 16 years of use. I think it has a lot of potential to look great with some work. ---

Nice work, I’m jealous of the simple maintenance. Do those wires have a nice positive click to them when installed, or are they like the MSD wires that you don’t really know if they’re on or not? I always liked the Taylor wires other than the fact that they fall apart after a couple removals. ---

The coil end has a nice positive 2 clicks, so you know you’re on. The plug end has a much softer single click, I had to pull it off and re-try to make sure they were seated. For the money you can’t beat these wires, I think I paid like $65 for them ---

Do you have any recommendations on pads in general? Do we have a “detailing DIY” thread? That’d be cool. For my rotary I got my last set of pads from Al Wil supply on Transit by the 400. I picked up the 3M dimpled pads, iirc they were \<20 each and worked MUCH better than the no-name ones I’ve gotten online in the past; there was a lot less buildup and caking. I’ve been working on my C5 a bit over the winter here and there and making some good progress. I’ve repaired some deep scratches that were through the paint… maybe I’ll make a thread. ---
