Hey chuck...thanks for the response in the intake thread...I have a few more questions...I just know very little about engine work so sorry if I sound like an idiot lol...besides the MAF short part of the intake do they also carry a silicone piece that bends down and outside the engine bay like the other long tube intakes?

Hey Chuck can you help me? Where is the MAP sensor in my 2011 Z touring model? Someone said its under the cover, someone else said there are two. AI have a photo but cant attach in this message. Thanks. Please respond to my email george.ciccarone@gmail.com and I'll send you the picture. thank you!

Alright thanks man

Hey man sick Z just wanted to know how much the TT cost you?

We'll see. That's a hard sell to the GF. Plus, I doubt I'll be in any shape to drive at that point in the evening. It's been a long week and the whiskey is calling my name.

Chuck, if you are not doing anything tonight you should come out to the local Z meet.

Sweet! Looking forward to results.

I've only seen one type of the copper gasket spray.

Ferrari always cheats. At everything. And if you call them out on it, you don't get to buy a Ferrari. You and I are off the list now.

Go ahead and pull out the helper spring. You'll feel a lot more through the clutch, and that makes it easier to be smooth.

The OP has a manual. Let the dealer handle it. If bleeding the clutch with the new spec fluid doesn't fix it, it's likely the CSC.

I don't think a lot of people are running it on a Z yet. After using one on my old STi, I'll go with a name brand over a chinese unit any day of the week.

I was hoping to find an AEM Dry Flow or Green replacement so I wouldn't have an oiled filter, but neither of them offer one in the correct size.

Go ahead and pull out the helper spring. You'll feel a lot more through the clutch, and that makes it easier to be smooth.

Go look what the maintenance on a GTR will cost you. You'll run out to the garage and give your Z a big hug. If I were you, I'd boost it on the stock block with a safe, conservative tune around...

Mine did too. The soft touch material just turned into tar. I just sanded it down and rattlecanned it. I also cut it in half. Since it's a track car it didn't have to be pretty.

My buddy and I got invited to the Lexus event where they let you drive all of their new cars, along with some of the competition. It was nice. They fed us, and had a really cool simulator set up to...

I was trying to get that without pulling off the bumper and measuring. I'm just being lazy.

Any reason you can't put a gauge or two in the cubby? I'd rather do that than completely remove the oil temp gauge.

Oil temp fluctuates a lot more than water temp. You might be into limp mode before you see the water temp move at all.

It's not the purchase price of a gtr that's the problem. It's the maintenance and parts cost.
