What did you do with your Z today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

They're condensation drain holes.

FedEx really did a number on that... Are you going to contact AWE for a replacement or run it as-is?

I wouldn't bother calling AWE about it, Fedex would just destroy the replacement

But... but.... You can see turbo fan RPM!

I particularly enjoy checking my near constant 14V battery voltage. At least it's part of the 3 gauge Z "heritage" cluster.

Incredible Z! She must turn heads

One sweet ride!

Mine went down to 13.5V this morning on the commute in... Most exciting thing that has happened all day!

LOL! I would have had a panic attack and made a beeline to the nearest Nissan service department.

I'm thinking a classy analog clock (with at least 2 NISMO logos for the NISMO model). How about driver's side window position? Maybe windshield washer fluid temperature?

I wonder if those pods are standard sizes and an aftermarket gauge would fit. Maybe. But may also be fruitless wishful thinking. Wouldn't be surprised if Nissan made them something like 47.5mm so nothing but OEM gauges would fit.

I'd personally like EGT since we're going old school with gauge pods!

Only experience with an EGT gauge was on a 4-cyl. On a V6 would you use two, or just monitor one bank?

Good question... You typically just pick what should be the hottest cylinder and monitor that one. Ideally, you would monitor each bank...and even more ideally go airplane style and monitor each cylinder individually. We need more gauge pods!!!

I really was more joking though, EGT isn't as useful today as it used to be with the advancement of other technologies. The last time I had an EGT gauge was on my Evo IX; before that it was on an Eagle Talon.

I finally ... finally ... put the hood/bonnet popper bypass kit in. It wasn't an easy endeavor, but I am relieved that I finished it with a few bruises and busted knuckles.
I have no codes and no alarms on the dash, so it was a successful endeavor.
I feared those things destroying the front clip if I hit a speed bump too fast, so my anxiety over that is gone!

I need to do this too...link for the popper bypass kit please?

The EGT I ran was on a collector RIGHT off the exhaust ports. Runners for cylinders 1 and 4 were probably only 5". And yes, this was back in the day when Turbo Timers were a thing, Enkei was garbage, and Konig was worse.

It's at least useful info. I have been able to verify batteries that are going bad in my other cars based on the voltage at stops, revving, accelerating... etc.

No idea what I will use the turbo RPM gauge for yet haha.

I loved my Apex'i turbo timer with o2 voltage!

Had an Apex'i fuel computer thing (don't know what it was called). Turbo timer was Blitz. Had a lot of fun in those days.

I had the old school one with 5 knobs!
