This pink stuff smells like bubble gum. I never thought I'd get sick of the smell of bubble gum until I used it for claying lube...

Yesterday I decided to do a muffler delete with my local muffler shop. I ask myself, why doesn't Nissan give you this option as well as a CAI, it makes the car sound like it should. Even my wife loves the growl

Probably because mufflers are required by law.

Cleaned & re-oiled the K&N filters on my Stillen Gen3, Cleaned MAF sensors and throttle bodies. Doing it all while the front bumper was off to clean the air filters made it a pretty easy job

That's all well and good for you. But I think his point was there's no way Nissan would ever offer an illegal option and hope that all of their customers' inspection stations overlook it.

I was going to make a joke ab having to spend more $ on your new car to get it functional and in compliance, but then I thought "CMAK... oil cooler..." and realized it wasn't funny anymore.

Yes indeed but it all depends on which country the vehicles are sold. I was in the Philippines for a month and due to health reasons I had to come back, fortunately for me, the guy that I tried to sell the Z didn't come thru. So over there some new vehicles come without seat belts just as an example and it's perfectly legal not to wear them. I'm sure if they sold vehicles with no catalytic converters there it would be perfectly legal as the pollution is so bad, therefore the reason why I'm back, asthma sucks and over there is 100% worse..anyway back to the topic on hand, thanks for reading

That's one way to lower your car.

Hurts my back just looking at that. Love your tag!

Got my redline oil in today, time to install my 25 row Stillen oil cooler this weekend.
I’m excited, saw just over 195 just lightly cruising to the store and back today. Ugh.

Edit: which is 7 miles from my house btw

Things I learned taking the Z out for a nighttime test drive:

1. New Craftsquare mirrors are awesome - until you notice that the passenger mirror is slightly off and there's no adjusting it while driving. Then they drive you insane. There's also a lovely whistling noise. Going to take the weather stripping from the stock mirrors and put them on the Craftsquares tomorrow.

3. Bugs are drawn to a freshly detailed car because **** you. #science

4. Tried to log WOT in 3rd/4th and the handbrake and traction indicators lit up. Thar be aiiiiiir in my ABS module.

5. Touchscreen stereos are short bus retarded. I'm getting one with a knob.

6. Hitting an oncoming car with 165 combined watts of 6000k HID Hella goodness will make them either a) turn off their goddamn brights or b) drive off the road in a blind panic (see what I did there?).

7. 34 row oil cooler is STUPID COLD. 70*F ambient at highway speed and couldn't break 174*F oil temp - that's with three Hella FF75s in the bumper mouth limiting airflow.

8. AIT is still at 7*F above ambient even with DEI gold wrap on the Z1 intakes. Maybe the gold will help combat heatsoak. If not, whatever, I still have $$$ golden intakes, b*itches $$$

I really dont like the look of the locking CS mirrors but F me if that passenger side mirror gets knocked out of position. Ive never noticed any whistling from my mirrors. I got that going for me, which is nice.

Do both types of CS mirrors having locking hinges? Maybe that's why the knockoff Evo r ones are so crappy. They move at the slightest breeze from only locking the top part of the mirror itself and not the necks.
