Life of a Z
 

I have a few mods planned but for now she's stock minus 20mm spacers at all 4 corners and the navi bypass.

New spoiler is ready, now to drill 10 holes in my Z...:eek:

I just stuck my spoiler on with the supplied 3m. Too scared to drill.

The hardest thing I've ever had to do!

Welcome to the good life! Looks good, the sport pckg coupsters dont come with spoiler?

Nope. Nissan doesn't make one for it. This one is off Ebay, but the manufacturer is here in Grand Prairie. He made 6 by hand. Pretty cool guy.

Decided to hardwire my radar detector today..

Still a work in progress. .

Not to shabby....

Looks good! I need to do something like that for my remote button. I would spray the rest f the part so it is the same color/ shine to blend in better.

I agree on painting the center but honestly I forgot I left that part installed under the tape.

Its not professional looking by no means but it's convenient and out of the way. I plan on finding someone that does plastic work to pretty it up later down the road.

nice progress so far

Just ordered my test pipes.

Still running factory. The test puppies are my first exhaust mod

Lol, pipes

Art pipes arrived. Install took 1.5hrs. Right side cross member tab did not align with the pipes, had to run a unibit to open it up a little. Overall great quality, awesome welds. Sound? Well from the inside all you hear is rasp, but from the outside it sounds good. Not much different than stock, just a little throatier.. I'll link to the before and after vids later.

I think the factory sounded better, especially inside the car.. I'll keep them till I get the rest of the exhaust completed..

Feel any gain different? I heard that u have to get a tune isnt it?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

According to Tony at Motordyne a tune is not necessary, but wouldn't hurt. Definite seat of the pants improvement, worth 500., eeh...

Finished my UpRev tuning. Impressive difference and the 5 on the fly tunes are awesome... Just have to make sure not to put it in Valet again at a red light... 2500rpm and max 50 mph makes it hard to leave a light fast..lol

Decided to do the YAW sensor bypass but did not want any kind of switch at all.. Mission accomplished.


Automatic YAW bypass: http://youtu.be/_CeE5fPbARc
Sent while driving!

Interesting. So what's the relation between the YAW sensor and VDC? Turning VDC off does not turn off the YAW sensor?

No its two completely separate control devices. Even with VDC off, the computer still controls throttle, brake and fuel if it thinks you've lost control.

nice looking roadster

so what does VDC actually do then? I thought I understood this all previously and you threw a wrench in to the mix!

Basically vdc controls wheel spin and YAW controls side to side, like in a drift

Nice work. I love my ZR.
