check any of the tubes/vacuum lines after your maf. I was throwing that code about a month ago, noticed this leak and haven't had it come back since I fixed it.

Very nice work Thomas. I can see how much you love the Z and show others the many options on what can be done to the Z. Keep it up. BTW, you neighbors must really love you.

Secondary set of wheels and Tires
34 row oil cooler upgrade (or possibly dual 25 with fans)
Stillen brake Ducts
CJM Fuel Return Kit

And whatever else I can think of..

I don't know how hot your oil get on track but the 34 row I have is plenty and with the larger oil pan I haven't run into any issues! Granted our track is kinda short but even so

DatsunFTW 03-14-2016 09:30 AM

I have a 25row. And at full pace 20min session it stays at 240 degrees. Which is pretty good. It is still a little bit chilly and I might upgrade due to the oncoming Florida heat. But after 20min it would slowly creep to 250 and I would let off and let it cool

With my 34 row I hover around 205~ the oil pan helped a bit to but it only helped keep it stable didn't really drop any lower

Great wish list bro! :tup:

DatsunFTW 03-16-2016 09:30 PM

Car was tuned today by Harry @Ztuner.

It was done very conservatively so that I had no knock count and can continue beating the car on the track so numbers are not my priority so long as she runs perfectly. The car was running extremely lean and my knock count was awful. So thank goodness for Harry!

300whp/250lbs
Motordyne M370 Intake Manifold
Mushimoto MAF tubes
K&N drop in filters
Soho Motorsports 3in single exit
Stock ypipe
95* ambient temperature.
(just to reiterate)

DatsunFTW 03-16-2016 09:33 PM

The Motordyne manifold sure seems to like eating fuel. The stock fuel injectors are almost maxed out because of it.

Next time I visit Harry I will have an aftermarket Y-pipe so that I can open up the exhaust section completely and let it breathe

If you're getting it tuned, why not get catless test pipes? That would really give you some noticeable power.

DatsunFTW 03-17-2016 12:41 PM

I have non resonated test pipes

Oh Ok. Didn't see it in the mod list above the video. Did you notice your car running lean before or after the Test Pipes were installed? For some reason, my car smells awful with just a catback...stock test pipes. Smells like it's running lean when I get on it. Not sure if this is normal though.

DatsunFTW 03-17-2016 01:56 PM

I put those on 3 years ago. Can't even remember. But it did run a little lean. I think the motordyne manifold is what made it go crazy

Hello from Virginia International Raceway! Can't wait for a fun session tomorrow. Drove 9 hours today and it was so worth it. This track and resort are gorgeous!

I'm really only here by myself. If someone takes video I will hunt them down for the footage!

Nothing like playing in the track.

///maestro 03-25-2016 09:49 PM

Ever thought about competing?

DatsunFTW 03-25-2016 09:56 PM

Maybe one day. But right now I have to worry about my steering rack. It doesn't sound too good..

The whole purpose of my car and the way I modify it is purely for the sense of enjoyment. I don't do it to impress anyone, set specific lap times, or set myself at a particular tier. Going to the track is fun and that's how I want to keep it. Fun. I do love to travel so this trip was very enjoyable. And this car is my daily driver on top of all things

Went for a test drive and beat on the brakes. After parking the car I could still feel the heat rising from the vents. This will definitely help relieve some wheel well pressure since I don't have any wheel liners after the Raccoon incident.

Next up: The Hood!
