Tried to ship that exhaust yesterday. Bought a couple of labels online from UPS and printed them out. Then when I went to a UPS store to drop it off, they couldn't scan in one of the labels. Told me to wait for corporate to call me about the issue :icon14:

I had that issue once. They entered it manually

The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIX
 
Just wrapped my Gen 3s in heat wrap and put on new AEM Dryflow filters.

Drove for about 25 minutes, gave it about 70-80% power on a green light and got traction control + SES light.

Limped into a parking lot. Had to stop traffic, lol.

Any idea what may be of issue? When inspecting engine bay, I realized the clamp holding the filter onto the driver side intake had slid off (I had tightened it but there was a greasy substance on the rubber that may have caused movement in vibration that I hadn’t completely gotten rid of). The filter was still attached to the intake.

Didn’t see or hear anything abnormal. This all happened about half an hour ago so will try to return to the car later today with an OBD reader and pull codes.

I mention this as a kind of preliminary screening, lol

It's 90F and HUMID! Haven't touched the sand yet. Doing yard work. Wifey wants to have a BBQ for the family tomorrow. I have to clean everything up outside. So, I'm weedwacking, cutting grass, using the leaf blower. My pressure washer quit. :shakes head: And my honey do list is long. :icon14:

IIRC traction plus SES can be a brake fluid issue.

Also, by heat wrap do you mean gold foil or exhaust wrap?

God's way of giving you a break. Grab a beer and sit back for a bit.

My wife went to get an oil change for our Mazda CX-5 at the dealership. On her way home, engine started acting weird. Checked oil, dip stick was DRY!!! Mother F'ers didn't put oil in. They did immediately admit that it was their fault. They put oil in and engine was running. But, I told them I wanted a full Leak down test and free extended warranty. Need to see the results of the L.D.T.

Should have drove it until the motor let go. Then tell them you're getting a lawyer. I have an idea that your motor is hurt.

The thought was on my mind AFTER it was towed to their shop. Should have just seized the mofo.

I'm sure is damage. Only had 74K miles. Super pissed. Just makes me cringe knowing the piston rings were scratching against the cylinder walls and cams taco banging with sandpaper.

Compression test + leak down will show how much damage has been done. But still... If i was expecting major engine maintenance at 500K miles, now I will expect it at 200-300K miles. With Covid, we are rarely driving. So even with a free 2-3 year extended warranty... not going to do squat.

Ordered the brainiac kit and electronics package. Also ordered a t510 model Samsung tab a 10.1 tablet. Will have to root it when it arrives. And may take a whack at programming the board radensb made to get all the software taken care of so I can just start ripping apart the dash when we get to the meet. Can't wait to get rid of the shittastic touring touchscreen garbage.

Are you going to use the ecutek dashboard on it?

Most likely. I'll probably set up a split screen toggle. Upper half will have ecutek stuff. Bottom half cna be standard android stuff. Also want to put an oil pressure sensor in so I can get readings on that.

NissanTracker 06-06-2021 12:02 PM

How is the quality of their plastic bezel pieces? I remember seeing some v1 models and they looked 3d printed. Something tells me they would look better if they were wrapped in the same material as the cubby cover

I was going to ask you about oil pressure sensor also. You might want to install aftermarket oxygen sensors also. Ecutek reads off the OEM sensors and they're highly inaccurate. Seb did a video on this.

Been throwing disc since the late 90s. Got my first ace today with 7 witnesses. It was a 188 foot putter on Hole 9 at Zilker :rock:
