Nevermind, looks like a fellow Minnesotan already inquired about this. I usually search too..

Thanks for the info guys was just searching for some dyno tuning around MN...ill probably go to DB performance in Rogers although I live 3 hours away in hibbing...I don't suppose there is a dyno tuner in duluth mn is there? Would love not to have to drive 3 hours for this lol

Anyways I have a 14 nismo and just got long tube nismo intakes, fast intention resonated test pipes, and fast intentions CBE...I don't know much about tuning but I assume it would be a good idea to get a dyno tune at this point?...I don't plan on much more engine work so I figured a tune was in order? Any thoughts on any of this thanks guys

Do you NEED a tune? No. Can you benefit from one? Definitely.

There was one place in Duluth, if I remember correctly. Mostly specialized in DSM and related things. This is knowledge from 8-10 years ago, so don't take my word.

Rare to see another Z, especially a NISMO, in Hibbing. I was the only one for the longest time as far as I knew. We just moved back from Japan and are living south of Minneapolis.

Hey guys

I just sold off all my Z parts, but found one more in my garage. I have one of the carbon front lip accents for a '14+. Brand new never mounted. It's basically just an add on for the front center of the cover. I don't remember how much I paid so I'm open to any offer.

Silverstone · 04-13-2017, 02:35 PM

Throwing some parts up here for sale if anyone is interested.

Top Speed Axleback Exhaust Tips (NISMO fitment) - Used for ~3 days - $200
Kenwood DNX7120 Navigation Headunit - great condition - $500
R2C Cone Filters (dry element) & Z1 Post-MAF tubes (trimmed shorter) - Filters aren't in the greatest shape, but the filter elements still work great, freshly cleaned - $140?

Everything "or best offer (OBO)" for MN owners.

JCar · 04-13-2017, 07:30 PM

Did you have any troubles putting the exhaust on?

Silverstone · 04-14-2017, 01:16 PM

They bolted right on after removing the stock muffler using the original hardware. Gaskets are included.

Sorry should've been more clear. I meant the ARK system I sold you.

I hardly ever see Z's in Minneapolis. Everyone's on the FR-S/BRZ hype train. I actually sold my '13 FR-S for a '15 nismo... best decision of my life.

We're always getting groups together for cruises. I'm in Apple Valley.

Oy! If only that would fit my car!

JCar · 04-23-2017, 09:27 AM

If you know anyone who has one it will work with send them my way. It's not doing me any good. I though it was cool not sure how long term durability would be though. I believe it's the same one used on the Royal speed shop Z.

Ahhh...

Bolted right on. Had some stuck nuts on my stock exhaust that gave me trouble. Had to do some adjusting to keep the center section from hitting the underbody brace. Works well, thank you.

I'll take the amp and wiring off you if you want to get rid of it. I can use them in a project for my wife's car.

It's all yours whenever you can come out again

SmoothZ · 04-24-2017, 06:44 AM

I did a lot this weekend including washing the Z and cleaning out the garage. Got rid of an engine hoist yesterday. Some dude saw me pulling the hoist out yesterday as I was taking pics of it, so he figured I was selling it. It was funny how quickly I got rid of that thing.

If you're still interested in cleaning your garage, I wouldn't mind the floor jack and heater. I have 2 jacks, but one is like 20 years old and has a leak so it doesn't stay up.

ezred · 04-24-2017, 10:04 AM

Anyone see my posts in the DIY section? Need help with the wiring on my fog light I installed last week, thoughts? Thanks.....

They are yours if you want them. I have 2 new wicks for the heater as well. In fact I've never actually used it so it's clean!
