decreased power loss of power

Nissan does a piss poor job with their warning lights. My Audi A4s used to pop a warning light even if it was just a turn signal bulb going out. In the Z, you can be completely out of oil and the warning light won't be on.

Sounds like a fuel cut...cornering with a low tank at high speed?

Yea that's crazy. By the time the oil light comes on it's too late for most cars. There has to be something better?

hey everyone i got really really bad news from nissan... it broke my heart but its my fault....

so basically everyone knows that my car has diy intakes with no heatshields.... heres what it lead to.... since i have headers on my car now it generates a good amount of heat..... even with the thermal wrap i noticed that the car has a crazy amount of heat in the bay.... so since i dont have heat shields my car was sucking in 180 degree air.... and since my car is running rich from all the performance mods done to it the hot air + richness in fuel lead my plugs to foul... so now about two of my plugs are fouled out... **** NOW i have to change all the damn plugs in my car.... which is hilarious because she only has like 7,500 on her... and get a G3 stillen intake or any intake with a heat shield i hate the fact that i was so f*cking cheap to buy an intake and now it costs more to fix it..... FML lesson learned never... i mean NEVER go cheap when it involves the engine.....
