It depends. I know I go to Lee's Summit Nissan. I'm a little bias since I have bought 3 Z's from them. They have always done me right and they are by far the best car dealer I have every dealt with and this Z is probably the 17th car I have bought.
When I get back in town and the car licensed I'm going to take up there and get the first oil change and ask them about the steering lock recall.

aCoul82 03-11-2013 10:31 PM

Hmmm starting to like the idea of just yanking the fuse the more I read about it

sboden 03-11-2013 11:31 PM

No since in replacing it if it isn't broke and if it does brake they are going to replace it with another one that will brake.

If it isn't broke snip it, pull the fuse, or buy the harness. I'll post the links if you want. They are all here in the Z forums.

You shouldn't need it as your car is new enough it shouldn't have the part in it. Now why would they do that if they didn't know for the last couple of years it was a problem....hhhhmmmm......

I know my car doesn't need it. Just checking to see if my dealer had the parts if anyone wanted to get it changed out:tup:

pbhakta 03-12-2013 09:03 AM

Well, Since my car was already torn apart from all the parts im painting, i went ahead and just pulled the fuse on mine even though its a later 2011. It still has the SLU you never know, so bye bye fuse. Took only 15 mins.

Well good to know. Yes those are now on the list and the FI, depending on the price, are off. They both look the same as well. So if one is $14k and the other is 6k. Easy choice. They will go great with the 4.5 upgrade I'm saving up for right now.

It's the new GTM twin turbo kit on the FI page....I guess blackandorange has some inside info on the price. The price is for every stage as well.

tower74 03-12-2013 03:17 PM

Oh and I read they also do financing now on their products. GTM just raised the bar for everyone to hit. That's how you take out the competing turbo companies.

edub370 03-12-2013 04:01 PM

Exactly. well it depends on if their financing is A) you get the product and have (x) time to pay it off, or B) if you can just slowly pay on the product and they ship it to you when u pay for the whole amount. if its B) a couple companies, including sts and stillen do that

Yeah but we both know that STS is shyt. Well the kit I had. Either way, that seems like the way to go. Unless they charge you interest....if they send you the parts first.

Well after reading through a few of the oil cooler threads I just pulled the trigger on a 25 row with thermostatic plate from z1. If anyone else is interested in these use code FREEWRAP
for free insulation of the lines which was a $30 add-on option.

Damn, I wish would of know you were looking for one. I have a 25 row sebron(sp) oil cooler just sitting gathering dust.

tower74 03-12-2013 07:05 PM

Well cancel the 4.5L. It sounds like it will be a pain in the asss to maintenance, sooooo it looks like I'll be going to the stage 5 4.2L upgrade. Just waiting to see the price, I think 13k instead of the 16-18k for the 4.5L. Easy choice.:excited:

Whoops. Chalk one up for impulse purchases. I'm starting to pile this stuff up. Putting of installs because "well I might as well wait til I buy _____ so I can install them at the same time"
Got hi flow cats, hawk pads, filter and redline oil and soon an oil cooler waiting. Want to do the cats at the same time as a CBE. Want to do a G3 intake when I have the bumper off for the oil cooler. Why not do the cats when the stock tubes/boxes are off for the intake ie why not do it all at the same time? lol

I agree. Trust me when we tore the turbo out of my car I learned a ton about this car. Exhaust, cats, oil coolers, fuel injectors etc. These cars are pretty easy to work on. Just be warned about the demon bolts. If you haven't read anything on them plan on spending a good portion of the day taking 8 bolts off. They are a beating.

aCoul82 03-12-2013 10:36 PM

Yeah I've heard of them. I was going to see if my buddy (his dad owns Santa Fe Body) has any friends at a Nissan dealer than would lend the oil wrench for an hour or w/e it's called to remove them

Z06WHO 03-13-2013 07:37 PM

OK if anyone is interested in anything and wants to make me a offer on anything lmk asap. I had lined up to get stock parts shipped to me and was going to wait another week before i traded the car in but that fell threw and im tired of waiting. So with that said if u want any of my parts that i have for sell make me a offer by Friday. What ever parts dont get sold they will be traded in with the car.
