I'm very conservative when it comes to modding.....meaning no turbos or touching the engine/ECU components. The more you mod your car, the more problems you'll have later down the line.

I'm very conservative when it comes to modding.....meaning no turbos or touching the engine/ECU components. The more you mod your car, the more problems you'll have later down the line. This is a fact. To play in the safe side, I only modded my exhaust, intake, wheels, and exterior parts. I will probably go for bigger brakes, suspensions, cooler, shaving weight, etc. But again, I refuse to touch something that can make my Z croak.
Judging by your diff bushing shot, I can tell that you have a heavy foot. While the Z can taking a beating, driving erratically will only shorten the lifespan of ANY car. If you do push your car to its limit, maintain your car frequently by changing all the oils and keeping an eye out for wear and tear. |

I feel your pain. As much fun as it was to mod/personalize my Z, almost every mod created a problem that needed to be fixed.
Some of the pain was due to poor installation, but some was just from being naïve enough to think that everything fit/worked like OEM.
