There’s a guy from CFL I’m friends with on IG who ran at the local track here (93 octane). He posted his slip on there, he ran 11.9 at 117mph. Stock.
Iirc, at least 11 other states follow Cali/CARB standards. I think even the feds let carb steer the ship regarding aftermarket performance parts. AMS may have gotten the Nismo USA contract by promising carb cert, they didn’t get it done quickly enough and epa/and or Cali sent Nissan a cease and...
My guess is Nissan, even Nismo USA division, don’t want to sell “race car only” parts bc of potential legal liability vis-à -vis CARB/EPA and warranty issues like you mentioned.
Cai should have no trouble getting carb eo #, just gotta pay kalifornia their pound of flesh for testing it.
AMS can...
Ok. I’m in central Florida so quite a bit further south, but if you’re ever down this way, let me know. Always good to meet up with fellow Z people.
That’s a great movie.
When I first watched Idiocracy back in the day, I thought it was hilarious. Now, I realize it’s the most terrifying horror movie ever made. And Mike Judge, the creator, apparently has the gift of prophecy. ??
Well there’s people making a living commenting on other people playing video games online so I suppose it could be worse.
my understanding is that YouTube pays content creators based on # of views and those influencers, (I use the term loosely), then also make extra $$ with sponsors/get free...
?. It’s this stupid greediness that kills a lot of folks’ enthusiasm for this car. At Msrp, the Z, (all trims) are fairly priced imo, any markups kill the value proposition imo.
Personally, I’d do upgraded sway bars before chassis bracing. Dial out excessive understeer, and tighten up the handling. Next, I’d do swift springs and perhaps an upgraded set of shocks like koni yellows or whatever the kids recommend for this new-ish Z.
Chassis bracing is something that...
Interesting, thanks for sharing, always assumed air ride was for stance vs performance, ie “if you ain’t rubbing, you ain’t dubbing” type crowd.
Re: your tire selection, with 500 whp, I agree, you do need all the grip and ps4s aren’t gonna cut it, I’d suggest moving up to sport cup 2s and a...
Please don’t go prying on it until we all know how to correctly disassemble. I’d hate to see you make a-small issue into a big one (I’m guilty of this too many times).
If you want to reach out to a great Z and GTR mechanic, hot up Derek Heim (EI racing). He’s also part time at Deland Nissan in...
I’m a big believer in the “everything happens for a reason” thing. It’s definitely frustrating but hopefully something better will come out of this.
can’t help with switch? But my first thought was a small piece of felt glued behind the part of the dash area that rattles would probably fix it. How did you notice this lol.
ps- never noticed anything like this on either of our 370z Nismos fyi. But you might have…?
I don’t mean to make light...
