i really missed my roof overlay :tup: i think it blends better with the whole cf hood....

and a two weeks ago i had someone walk up to me and tell me that daytona is for american cars because it relates to nascar.... why would i put a daytona "nascar" on my z :bowrofl: first off i dont even know this guy..... :roflpuke2: i told him cuz i dream of racing my z in the daytona 500 dude gave me this crazy look and walked away :icon17:.... i dunno if its because im getting older or because im just tired always from work but nowadays i dont feel like explaining in full detail when someone makes a moronic comments about my z, and thinks they know everything in the import world.... :icon17: to bad he didnt know the daytona is a Z specific tuning shop in fukuoka japan... that supports and caters specifically to Z's only :D

Why Momo? You NEED JDM!!!

lol be nice.... i think the jdm steering wheel will be enough..... as much as i love my friend at daytona the cf handbrake looks bland....

I don't follow this build thread often, only at 4AM when I can't sleep. I have no idea what a JDM steering wheel is, but I expect to see pics on FB, lol

this is where the CFE flat bottom steering wheels idea originated from....

:tup:

still not sure if im going alacantra or italian leather...... but in time.... we will get there :icon17: and yes fb lol.... im gonna start uploading my pics on fb on private.... that way i only show them with my z friends on here :tup:

Don't forget us non-FB peeps. ;)

:iagree:

I dont' facebook……. fuck facebook!

Jon, the CF Steering wheel is dope, but to much $$$ ($1,150) plus the purchase price of a core steering wheel to send off to Japan..WOW That is outa my budget ballpark. Sure is a nice wheel though. Be waiting for the pics after your install.

i actually only use my facebook to upload my z pics :icon17: fastest way :tup:


ill definitely put a review... ;) i absolutely agree that its fugin nuts in pricing however i have full confidence that i wont be dissapointed in the outcome....

drove my z today.... at a stop light as i rolled off my z bogged for a good sec or two and so i gave it more throttle.... except when i did nothing happened... so i floored it and then finally after what seemed to be 2-3 secs after that my z launched.... has anyone ever experienced this? :confused:

*** edit *** im particularly worried because this can be very dangerous especially entering the highway where cars are speeding and you HAVE to speed up from a dead stop

This sounds similar to the issue I had a few months back. Ended up being all electrical, I had a fried IPDRM and EMU. All I gotta say is if you take it to a dealer pull your ground wire first. They gave me **** about it.

**** dude.... im fugin screwed if i gotta take it to the dealer... they are gonna rape me.... how did you fry your IPDRM and EMU? is it from sounds or something?

btw wtf is a IPDRM or EMU :p i have no clue what those are

Your sure it's not fuel related. My Z actually runs out of gas at 130 miles until empty. At first I didnt know why it was bogging at 135 miles till empty since it appeared to have gas. Then I thought fuel pump. When actually the reading is incorrect and I was actually out of gas or running low. Not sure we have the same issue but maybe u can check fuel flow

Hope you get this figured out man

could be... but i just finished gassing my z.... i know it should be more than half tank

me too.... i hate it when i have problems with the motor.... it really disappoints me because i barely drive her and when i do something always seems to arise :shakes head:

I did have a similar experience with my Z. It came up as "clutch circuit 2" it was related to the SynchroRev match. The dealer told.me.to.bring it in immediately!! My sport mode also came up on the left hand warning board...... This happen to u too?

S-mode is actually the SRM system not sport mode :tiphat:

unfortunately we are no lucky enough to drive Mercedes SLK550 AMG's :yum: (or other cars with true sport modes) I was lucky enough to detail one a few times. They have a sport mode, the car actually lowers electronically and engine sounds meaner, probably opens some exhaust by passes or valves to :tup:

Jon - I hope it all works out for you and the Z! Hope fully it was just a fluke or something random and nothing damaged.

thanks guys... i dont have sport mode :(...

thanks mike..... im hoping that too...... i did a couple WOT runs to work and she was fine

This happened to me while turning left on Route 1 from Hagatna. I was going with the flow of traffic and decided to pass a truck. I stepped on the gas and nothing happened. The car wasn't overheating or hesitating in any way, but it just wouldn't go any faster. I drove it all the way to the Navy base, shut it off, and did some shopping. After that, everything was fine. Weird.

I am not liking this! To many people talking about their Z lagging now! :shakes head:

Oh, and I only had the Z for about 2 months when it happened.

:eek: WTF! I would have panicked, has it happened since then?


I have never had my Z lag or bog down what so ever…….

i think this was that same exact problem i had when i turned it into the dealer almost 2 years ago.... now it happened to me again..... i drove the car yesterday and it felt fine though?!? i did multiple WOT runs and no hesistation... freaking weird..... it did teach me one thing though DO NOT attempt a WOT when you are at a dead stop and the car is coming fast.....

Welcome to the world of "throttle lag", many here have this issue. In addition another known issue (feature) is the engine stalling out when gas level is less than half a tank full. Especially during hard right hand turns (on ramps). g/l Jon and hope it's just some bad gas.

Jon - here's a link to a FS thread with a cheap OEM steering wheel if you need one as a core to get your CF wheel :tup:

http://www.the370z.com/parts-sale-pr...ing-wheel.html

Thankfully it hasn't happened since, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

is this one better than the sprintbooster?

thanks mike... ill just send my buddy mine.... his actually gonna send me his wheel first so its all good :tup:

ive driving my z straight and it hasnt happened again :confused: i know its only a matter of time too....

happy to hear! I didn't want to see you going without your Z while you waited on the new wheel to come in :tup:

Dunno...picked it up while I was purchasing TWM short shifter figuring WTH I'll give it a shot. Well it increased throttle response before and even after I installed other mods (pullies and UpRev Tune). So I would would say it's a GO ! Dunno know how it compares to other boxes. This one does work even after pully install and UpRev Tune. My initial thought was I would not need it after the tune, BUT it still increase throttle response after it. :tiphat:

ur z is one of a kind.

sweet man ill check it out

:tiphat:

im reading through ur posts... and I'm like on 76 or 80 something... picking ur brain! good creative ideas! you mind if I ask you a few things somewhere down the line about those "attention to detail" mods?

definitely man.... ask away :tup:

OK since you've allowed my questions! Sim how should I plasti dip my stock rear bumper diffuser part? I mean whats the best way? I don't wanna sand anything in case I don't like the way it's gonna turn out so I could peel it off, but I want it to stick really well! ( I know these are gonna be some basic questions )

ill pm u in a few hours :tup:

I tried to rep for pure sexzness but I am all out. lol As I have said before, I love your build bro!

Sim nevermind! Decided to go with dry carbon fiber 3D vinyl! too much plasti dip these days lol

thanks for your kind words man.. i love your build too :D

:tup: np man

my stillen roof spoiler came in.... i wish i never sold my first one that i had.... i guess you learn from your mistakes lol :p and i officially broke my "dont buy the same parts twice rule" ill install it over the weekend end.... nothing new still.... im dying inside because i want to order more parts soooo bad but i cant until after january :( this coming year is gonna make my pockets hurt.... if this year beat up my pockets from modding... this coming year will murder them :roflpuke2: my journey to having a cup kit and titanium exhaust and now varis announces a wide body :facepalm: im hurting inside already LOL
