However if anyone sees this post and is willing to part with HFCs or Headers for a good price and verified by atlantic autosports as being legit equipment im willing to purchase, just send me a pm

But yea after my car is modified up to my standards i will def be willing to join some clubs or come to events that i saw in the first page or so of this thread ��

Just ordered my jvc and ark dts...
Coming next stillen gen 3, pully and belt, amuse kit (when i find a legit dealer) stillen HFCats and ark long tube headers and more when i decide on the rest.

So. Whassup ppl

Can't wait to meet all the new guys that have joined while I have been gone! http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...illy_nilly.gif

BTW ARK long tube headers delete the cats so getting HFCs would be a waste of money. The stock headers are actually pretty good; there is no need performance wise to swap them out unless you’re doing high hp engine build. I would advise not to swap any of the pulleys. The performance increase vs. risking popping an engine is not worth it. There is a post floating around on the forum explaining why aftermarket pulleys are dangerous, I wish I could find it. It has to do something with the balance and harmonics of the crank shaft.

I lost faith with Atlantic Autosports after they couldn’t balance my wheels properly. I gave them 3 tries and still had more than one wheel vibrating at low high way speeds. After Atlantic couldn’t get it right I went to Alloy Wheel of Virginia in Hampton who was recommended by a buddy. They got it right the first time and the balance was good all the way up to 150+ mph (Dislamer: that was during a HPDE at VIR). They seem to be a good group of guys but the attitude I got over the wheel balance issue was discouraging. I might give them another try for minor cosmetic items but anything else especial performance items I don’t trust them.

Just my :twocents: that's all. http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...illy_nilly.gif

Atlantic is excellent for tint/audio and basic **** and even some minor engine stuff. I had them swap out my intake runners with ported runners on my old TSX and install the downpipe/2nd cat delete along with brakes. Excellent work. Drove it another 38k miles with zero issues. Some **** they are good with, some they're not. But you would think wheel balancing would be one of the things they're good at. But you gotta remember the majority of their clientele. Those fuckers never go over 20 for fear of busting their 80" wheels. Lol

The biggest reason is I have to do turn over with my relief and we only swap out personnel during certain periods/ports unless it is an emergency.

Also it helps if the boat I'm on had a helo deck. :rolleyes:

No helo deck? Lame

Kazzan11236 04-24-2015 12:51 PM

Okay so u guys respond quick here lol

I cant even quote each response but i do appreciate everyones input

So first thanks for the info on the headers and cats. I really dont know much but the basics of what these things do, so unres headers will be more than enough.

Thanks for the info on the pulleys i figured lighter pieces are better for the engine but yea dont want that exploding..


And yea unofficial meet or official im down, but yea i take pride in my vehicle so need atleast the basics before i come , intake/cbe

And yea i prefer the Ark exhuast. I would order F1 but it takes me a few weeks to save thr money for it... I don't wanna wait another 6 weeks to put it on

And just got my jvc kw50bt installed yesterday with sirius. And now my VDC light is on all the time now... Only comes on when hydroplanning. So gotta take it back

Theyve always done right by me but i will look into that other shop so thanks

I can vouch for atlantic autosports on exhuast and intake only
They did my 13 maxima and my 12 pathfinder with no leaks or anything.

Charged me 200 and took them 30 mins

Hey y'all...might be selling my wheels tomorrow. Fast intentions? Yup (fingers crossed)

Is it the VDC Off light or the loss of traction light (aka wheel slip light)?

http://www.the370z.com/attachment.ph...1&d=1429903565

The loss of traction light will come on any time the car looses traction. The loss of traction light is the cars way of saying your going/turning too fast for the conditions. So it coming on during wet conditions is normal especially if you're planting your right foot on wet a road.

VDC can be a real nanny sometimes but it will keep you out of trouble most of the time. I don’t know what kind of driving experience you have but with a car like the 370Z you need to be very careful in wet/slippery conditions.

Yes the loss of traction light. I know it comes on when things get hairy but its not supposed to be on 24/7, even when sitting still.

I love how the vdc does correct normal driving when the tire speed is uneven
But the shop had to trip something as the light has been on 2 days straight without going off

Kazzan11236 04-24-2015 03:52 PM

I guess i did something wrong, it says my post has to be reviewed by a moderator?

Anyway yes the loss of traction light, but its been on for 2 days straight

I think that is because you are new here with a low post count. It happened to me when I joined the forum.

For the light I think they cut or disconnected some wiring and didn't connect it back when they were done.

Voice59 04-24-2015 04:07 PM

Does it still perform it's function, except with a constant indication? Or does it no longer even provide the function?

Just got installed 2 days ago so im not sure. Everything i read on the manual says of the light stays on when vdc is on, it means the vdc is not working.

We havent had heavy rain in the beach since so i dont know if it still functions


I do know the car feels weird when i drive, not like lack of performance but ionno cant put my finger on it

Voice59 04-24-2015 07:17 PM

What did you get installed that would affect the VDC? :confused:

VABAM 04-24-2015 10:13 PM

Kazzan11236 check you brake fluid level. I seem to remember something about when the brake fluid level gets low the VDC starts lighting up.

Voice59 04-25-2015 09:47 AM

Still making burgers? Probably not huh?

Kazzan11236 04-25-2015 10:32 AM

I got a jvc double din installed. Steering wheel adapter. Xm tuner 300v1 and my rockford 1000 constant power amp

Yes. Well. No. Maybe? What's it look like under the hood? Is it low?

I've had this happen to me a couple times especially after a track weekend when my pads wear down a lot and my fluid gets low. The dash lights up like a Christmas tree though, it's not only your traction light, it's also the brake light and a couple more (can't remember which ones).
