One day i will buy a scissor lift. This **** is a such a pain in the ***.

Check out Gyeon Tire cleaner and their dressing. The coating lasts forever on the tires.

Couple weeks and ~4 washes

Man I like those rims.

Yeah I've used Q2M tire. I like it. Carpro blackout is like the next step above Q2M tire, imo, it's more like a ceramic coating than than anything i've used. Supposed to last the longest of all the tire coatings.

Q2M Wheel, and Q2M tire cleaner are some of my go to's for maintenance washes tho, great stuff.

you have good taste!

Got my car back today.
sway bar, end links, subframe collars, diff bushings, engine mounts. All that seems fine

New Invidia Exhaust went on. (with the supplied gaskets if that matters)
But the car won't put out any power.
It feels like it's putting half throttle, when my foot is on the floor.
I can barely get it above 120 (km/h) in sixth.

it revs all the way to 7k no problem.
Just gets there really really slowly.

Maybe an exhaust leak? dunno if that would cause the ecu to do weird ****
or maybe the rear wheel speed sensors were damaged when they took the diff out.
It's also really stumbling while idling.

EDIT: i have a pending P010B code. lovely.

Check the air intake boxes and make sure the maf sensors are plugged in.

edit: also check and make sure all your O2 sensors are connected.

I ordered some MAF cleaner, but the code is still pending (not confirmed in maybe 3 trips since). And the throttle issue is gone now.

will check the other stuff later today.

Berk HFC installed, liking the new sounds and feels. Ecutek tune for moar power. Next step, suspension upgrades.

Had an P010B in the past. Car would go into limp mode, pull over and restart BAM problem gone. Cleaned the MAF sensors, replaced air filters, didn't resolve the problem. Brought car to dealer, they updated the ECM and POOF, problem solved. I've read so many different resolves for the code, cleaning the throttle bodies seemed to be the most common resolve.

Drove back to Knoxville from Atlanta, and to my surprise I saw 3 370z, usually, I do not see any...

Same in my neck of the woods but see TONS of 'Vettes, Camaros, and the Dodge boys. I usually comment to the wife on how cute their rear tire widths are! :p

Picked it up from my shop after 2.5 weeks. Supercharger and VR30 transmission now installed. Still have a few remote tuning iterations to go, but smiles already.

Finished up my scheduled track stuff.
Today was PADA auto slalom.

The track:


Really fun, I think I came in close to last. Tried wearing my motorcycle helmet but it has a bunch of aero stuff at the back, not a good fit in the car. Need a helmet with a flat back now.

Shannonville HPDE session was awesome. The in class was useless but the instructions was great.
Lost clutch pressure a bunch, need to put 600 clutch fluid in.
And my oil temps were up at 140 degrees. Oil cooler has to go in before next season.

Going to finish out the auto slalom series this year, theres 4 more events.
Maybe one more HPDE as well.

EDIT:

oh and my maf issue was.... the shop didn't install the intake tube properly after installing the engine mounts.

Ordered some new Rear O2 Sensors. It just dawned on me that if my AFRs look fine from the tune, those could still cause the P2A00 and P2A03 codes according to the FSM. They have years of soot from running test pipes and they just could be **** now even with HFCs. I saw from my data that a sensor will just straight up drop to 0V on the logs.

Should be an easy install while i do my side skirts. I just need motivation to wake up to do it this weekend. It's way too hot down here.
