    Nismo Twin Disk clutch & flywheel

    @Moderator - 2nd move req., truly sorry about not posting these in the correct category. I string search ā€œtopicā€ on listing page and haven’t been catching that I’m in classifieds/parent-nodes.

    AMS Intakes Installed, misc. feedback.

    Holy moly, thanks for the catch! Old-ness strikes again. @Moderator would it be possible to move this? I tried edit options on both the thread header portion and post content and it doesn’t appear that I can.

    Longest road trip on your Z?

    KY to NC and back within 3 days, right at 1,400 miles very early on. It was somewhat of a honeymoon push for myself and the car. Fell madly in love with it on that drive : ). It fills a GT role shockingly well.

    z1 Air to Air intercooler

    Knowing where VR (Qs have been waiting for A2A for eons) A2A competition is headed, I would have NOT purchased my AMS intakes had I known then that many top tier folks were working on it. Point above was just that they aren’t a turnkey hunk of hurrspurrs.

    z1 Air to Air intercooler

    If you call Z1 or SOHO (they are about to release theirs, ask for Nick) they both will tell you straight up they only shine in HPDE/AutoX or at altitude for extended periods of time where you want to avoid heat soak. While results do show a bit of gain, $/hp it’s not wise if you haven’t already...

    Redtiger Is Calling for Help! Become the Exclusive Tester for the Redtiger F17 Elite!

    I’d love to participate in this cycle of development on the Redtiger F17. I’ve posted reviews for a few decades spanning every platform Iā€˜ve touched. You can expect commitment and borderline OCD fidelity on process and feedback coverage. I have a 6k cam and an Autel Evo II 640T. I’d prefer to...

    I'm not in the market for a NISMO Z but if anyone else is, what a deal

    How recently was the PPF done and assuming it’s garaged or stored, have you had a chance to let it bake in the sun? They almost look like creases that haven’t worked themselves out yet. 100% of the PPF I’ve had applied is filled with visual anomalies for about a week until it can cook in the sun...

    Startup Ritual

    My Father (mechanic/iron worker) taught me this when I learned to drive and if I have a key in my hand to start anything, I roll the key to prime first. I’m convinced it’s based on legacy EFI gremlins back in the day. That said it’s rare nowadays to not have push to start. I never do this with...

    My Z keeps getting attacked by rodents — what should I do?

    Great point, if you have to buy all new receptacles with tight fitting lids and tidy up the area if you see things tipped etc.

    My Z keeps getting attacked by rodents — what should I do?

    Just throwing it out there that it is an incredible risk to you and any passenger if this is the case. No children passengers jesh.

    My Z keeps getting attacked by rodents — what should I do?

    If the Z must be parked near garbage collection you’ll have to be exceedingly diligent. We are in a very rural area of KY and we’ve got bait stations and a water bucket trap running all warm seasons in both our shop and greenhouse. My wife feeds 2/3 drowned field mice a week to catfish. Get a...

    Some thoughts and problem on HKS Full Dual Muffler Exhaust

    If possible pick up a set of race ramps to back onto, that will give you gobs of access to troubleshoot the rear. For the $160 in labor they charged you to simply allow you to work on the rear of your own car you could cover 2 sets of great off-brand ā€œraceā€ ramps. You should maybe do this...

    Some thoughts and problem on HKS Full Dual Muffler Exhaust

    I’d take a rubber mallet and tap the entire length of the exhaust from underneath, I bet you find your culprit. The audio is challenging to parse with older ears but it almost sounds like a nut that made its way into the system or a loose slip joint that causes a racket at a particular RPM...
