It took a bit, but I got the car working again. I ultimately called it a faulty fuel pump. It had electricity and made noise, but wasn't pushing enough fuel to give adequate fuel pressure to keep the engine alive. To make it an extra pain, the passenger side crank position sensor had also...

I drove to DFW for my Z in March. At that time, Trophy Nissan in Mesquite had the best deal (at least for a Sport with manual transmission).

Hello friends, Was debating where to post this, but I think it's a "General" topic more than anything. Anyhow, I installed a Tomei Expreme single exhaust in May. Still love it. Never liked the open exhaust exit that was left after removing the stock system. So, I ordered an OE Designs...

What did I do with my Z today? I got chased down by a State Trooper. :LOL: I think he just wanted to check the car out. No ticket, just a warning.

I've been looking at this as a viable option to add a powered sub to the trunk. It would be a $1500 experiment after buying everything (including the Encore Amp), so it's been "on the back burner" while I allocate $$ to some more pressing projects.

My kid's 2003 350Z decided to sputter and die yesterday. Trailered it to the house and ran a diagnostic check with my Autel 5850 computer. I am pulling up a P0442 code. That's supposedly code for a "small" EVAP leak. Well, can't be too "small" as the car will crank but not start...

A T-top Nissan Z would be a hard pass for me. T-tops leak in old age and contribute to body flex. In their 1993-2002 run, the vast majority of 4th Gen Camaros and Firebirds were T-tops. I personally made a dedicated effort to find a hardtop Camaro when I bought mine. :)

That's a good explanation of hardware and software interface. :) The reason people worry about "kill switches" has nothing to do with impaired driving. That's the guise used to justify the more insidous intent. With a "kill switch" your vehicle's operation ultimately falls under government...

His job is to silently judge me.

Same here. :)

Hello friends. I installed a set of Kanjo Spec D hood struts on the Z last week. Gotta say, I really like them. It took about an hour to install (with filming.) Would probably be a 30 min job otherwise. I also confirmed that you do not need to lift the front of the car to install these...

I personally would go for the purple. I had a BMW in their Sunset Orange, which is also an uncommon color. Yes, heaven forbid a deer or something smacks the side of you car (that happened to the BMW) you wound need to go to a dealer that is certified to recreate that paint code, but that alone...

I'm 100% with your logic. I finally got my Nengum sourced poppers, but will not be discarding the ones from FSUZ33. If I mow over a rabbit enroute to work and have doubts, hopefully I can just switch to the new poppers and keep on driving. :)

Hello friends, I took some time this weekend to document the install of my Top Secret Hood Popper Delete Kit from Nangun Racing. Overall it wasn't that difficult, though the passenger side removal is exponentially harder than the driver side. I also want to give a shout out to FSUZ33 who...

I took this pic after I did my first claybar and ceramic coating. The gunmetal gives a great reflection :)

Me too. I wasn't sad though. It's hard to be sad driving a manual transmission Z. I was really happy seeing work in my rearview mirror as I left for the day too. :)

I installed a Mishimoto Catch Can today. I was kinda dreading removal of the intercooler after reading multiple horror stories on this forum. Happy to say it wasn't that bad. I think the whole job took 2.5hrs (to include filming the install) Made a vid while I was at it. :)

No drone. Its not loud enough to be a nuisance. If I want to wake the neighborhood I fire up my heads /cam Camaro with long tube headers and Corsa exhaust. I reserve that for weekends when I head off to work at 0545 🙂

Appreciate the offer. I "think" everything's worked out after another phone conversation. The agent on the phone wanted to clarify that all the raw materials used to create the carbon fiber and the decals I bought were mined or sourced from Japan. I felt like saying "bitch, are you for real?"...

I ordered the Top Secret popper delete kit from Nengun last month. My package is currently being "held" by some mouth-breather in US Customs because they do not believe the blocking plates in the kit are carbon fiber and believe they could be aluminum. (Customs can charge extra tariff $$ for...
