Passport tells me how fast I'm going when it goes off. I hear it really makes your butthole pucker when you look up and it reads 117mph. Not that I would know but I heard that:ugh2:

I had to turn the one on my camp2 off (selected a difference gauge option), as I kept pushing it up and up....156

I promise this will be a thing for my buddy and i :icon18:

You had any issues with the kit? Other than oil leaks, which are frustrating, the only other thing I've noticed is something is knocking against something else. I'm leaning toward the crossover pipe is rubbing the bottom of the tranny housing. Haven't had a chance to dig into it yet.

I also noticed this morning that my peak boost is slightly lower than previous (59kPa compared to 62kPa). Thinking that its either the WG spring are finally breaking in and since the EBC holds a percentage gate it's slightly lower. Or the extra heat is slightly effecting boost levels.

I had the one crack in the filter plate holder which has since been repaired. other then that no problems with kit. I do need to have some touch up done to my tune, i think he may have turned my fans off completely, Ive never had the car up over 225 degrees but even at that point , heat soak robs power.
as far as the rattles, I have the same one, actually made me think I had a rod knock in first few weeks of driving it, that and the clutch noise really made me accept noises as part of the deal. I still am paranoid and would love to find an expert tuner in our area just to tell me everything is good.
I can say I've tested this motor/kit pretty hard and she still purrs like a kitten.

Time for some nitto05rs

I've been building a list for my tuner. He'll be touching it up when I get my new exhaust. I'm leaving it for a few days so he should be able to touch areas he wasn't since I brought it to him warm.

I need to pull the trigger on rear chamber and toe bolts. I know I could get better traction if I dialed out negative chamber.

After a couple of weekends worth of work I finally got my stereo system installed.

The Nissan base model speaker pods are/were on back order with no time frame for inventory, I ended up buying a scoche 6x9 adapter plate. It said it would fit a 6-1/2 but it doesn't. I was able to trim it and get it to work with the stock 6x9 pods. Only cost 12 bucks too from Crutchfield.

Still need to fine tune amp and head unit, but am very happy with sound!

This also is by far the easiest car I have ever ran speaker wires in, from the ease of car coming apart to places to put the wire. kudos to Nissan for a well built, thought out car.

So I turned off the traction control for the first time since boosting the car. Second gear, lights up the tires as soon as boost kicks in, Third gear a little tire spin but not to bad.

would go through tires in a hurry if I leave it this way ;)

you should always drive without traction control with a turbo. its the first thing I do when I start the car. I only leave it on in therain when I know I won't see boost

:iagree:

time to stock up on tires then eh? lol

they go quickly

Maybe I'll get the G back on the road this week

So a week with out traction control, I will need new tires soon. Stereo is rocking,still needs some fine tuning but happy so far.
My ings carbon fiber side skirts have finally been credited, ordered fujimura cf skirts invoice says 2-3 months so I should have them just in time to put car away for season :( on the plus side I ordered some hotchkis sway bars front and rear ;)
Still need to install adjustable clutch peddle but back out of town I go


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

hotchkis are good. I recommend the middle setting on the rear bar. you might also have to adjust AN hose arrangement. I also had to cut a few t-bolts to clear the bar. if you are rotated correctly it might not be a problem.

oh and Teflon tape the bushing. It'll help with squeaking but still grease often

Thanks for the tips

anytime my man:tiphat:

oh and I found the knocking. it wasn't the crossover pipe on the tranny after all. the t-bolt on the charge pipe right next to the oil block adapter is hitting tge subframe. I'll fix it when I upgrade to v1.5

I need to change my oil soon , when I do I'll get under and check for ways to eliminate vibrations. No leaks since day one except for the crack on the filter plate. Pretty happy.

Don't mess with any of those AN fittings if you don't jave any leaks

Whoo hoo sway bars will be here Friday , these an easy install? Like to do these and my clutch peddle this weekend


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

without a BP turbo kit I'd say a couple hours. with one it'll all depends on how much stuff you have to massage while your in there

I'm hoping for a slip out slip in install lol


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

it'll all be in how you routed oil lines and if the charge pipe to the turbo sits high enough.

Just found the DIY for them, rear is simple. Will have to see front but as I can recall I should be good


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

mine was already installed so all I did was have to trim a few of the bolts on t-bolt clamps and zip tie some rubber pieces in place to prevent rattling.

you'll probably probably fine

All clean and need some where to go

Gonna order the extenders for the o2 sensors see if that will work w/check engine light

if Mitch really found the fix for the idle being to remove the post cats I'm just going to have my tuner remove that code.

Looking good!

I wish you would stop making me want wheels with pics like this! Lol

while Nissan makes a great wheel for the Z, Wheels make the car, no other mod has the same affect as wheels do period! Do it!!!!:tup:

You should drive that clean Z and wheels out to Galena with us ;)

Wife is running marathon today, so I'm home with Colin. He may be good for an hour , two tops. But all day no. Hope to get to one before season ends

You know where I live, you know where our shop is and you know where I am every Sunday.
