MN Z owners...

Huh...took off the exhaust (catback).

Um...

Ok, so the car starts and the rpms can get to 3000 but then it sounds like it hits a limiter. ECU confused now?

its not necessarily the ECU, its the fact that there's zero back pressure to maintain a steady RPM.

I have it on jacks so I can swap the brake lines out for stainless steel. Once I am done with that this weekend I need to try and get it out of the garage. I hope it has enough stability to be able to get up a ramp and on to a truck!!!

If it doesn't I'll need to make sure the transport dudes have a winch! Ugh.

Also, I can still hear your new exhaust Lance! So sweet!

Trust me....I'm straight up addicted. Even drove the Z to work today. I absolutely canNOT get enough of the car right now. Saturday afternoon when I finish the install, I took it for a "break-in" cruise, and not even a mile away from my house I got 2 different thumbs ups from drivers around me. Then at the stoplight I had a guy yell out his window "sick car mannnn, sounds sick!!".

1cleanZ · 10-15-2013, 02:48 PM

damn it i'm not ready for winter, OR to be storing the Z. On the way home last night, my car barely even got off the 140 degree mark for oil temp by the time I got home

The Z no likey....

With talks of snow possibly this weekend....I'm afraid the Z might be put away very soon here

Arrvaxx · 10-15-2013, 02:50 PM

Snow already. Ugh. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Anyone know a good tuner shop for Z's in MN?

I'm currently saving for a GTM SC kit. Don't want to get it if there isn't a good tuner in MN that can tune a Z.

Arrvaxx · 10-16-2013, 09:46 AM

Can't answer that...but get the SC anyway.

DB Performance in Rogers is definitely the only reputable place to tune the "VQ" around here. Otherwise I'd highly recommend taking it down to Chicago to AMS or Project X.

Wow, I remember the last 2 Halloweens were relatively warm. This weather pattern is spoiling my month.

On the other hand, I'm glad Congress was able to come to a compromise. I can get paid again!

I'm also thinking of putting the Z away for the winter. I spent hours working on the yard and garage. Half the work of storing a Z is getting the garage ready.

Hey guys I just purchased a 2013 nismo! Glad to see a lot of Z guys in mn!

A Nismo, wow, that is awesome, grats!

The Z is always in the back of my mind.

I'm starting to see one almost everywhere I go, saw a few in downtown Minneapolis, one cruising in the next lane, I couldn't catch up to it sadly.

A few weekends ago, some kind of caravan pulled up in front of my house. They had a 370Z in their group. Not sure what they were all doing, driving around the neighborhood?

Very nice congrats! You driving it through the winter or purchase it just in time to store it before the snow hits this afternoon?

mnz · 11-05-2013, 04:04 PM

Sadly just to put her in storage, which sucks really bad. She won't be seeing no snow at all

That's good news though. I did the same thing w/ my G37 back in 2010. Perfect time to buy, just hard to have to store it right away. It will pay off in spring time though
