Has anyone heard FromG2z lately?

Alchemy 12-21-2011 09:49 AM

Speaking to Osiris (Matt) about his Stillen supercharger..he has been pretty happy with it as I recall. It may not put down as much power as he would have liked, but as far as reliability and stability are concerned (after the initial issues that arose from getting a proper ECU flash) it as been solid.

Mikes350z 12-21-2011 09:54 AM

What did I do with my Z today? Stalled it waiting for a light on a very steep incline outside the supermarket.... Wasnt paying attention :shakes head:

I hadnt stalled the car since October when I purchased it... Oh well...

Anyone running back up cams to their stock Nav here in an 09? That is my next upgrade.

2) It's def smaller than I thought it was going to be.



HAHA!! I was looking at this exact shift knob too! You know what they say about great minds!

:tup: haha, that's funny.


this am, i sold my titeks (finally!) so i peeled back my Z's carcover to grab the new 4pcs that was still in the trunk. while raising the car cover it felt like i was pulling up a pretty girl's skirt. :yum: :icon17: haha.

and saw the interior of my Z for the first time in 4weeks. :excited:

after all the excitement i placed the cover back on as it's super humid today and didnt want condensation.

Thanks happy good to be back. I want to make a comment about ken and the skirt but said I'd post nice things about him for today LOL Good to see ya Ken. I mentioned GTM as Stillen is west coast and I'm east. But if Stillen wanted to give me a SC I'd be an east coast supporter:eekdance:

Yeah, Im goin supercharger if I go F.I. More reliability than TT.

TypeOne 12-21-2011 11:01 AM

I need to clean my car. It's been sitting outside for a week in the rain. :-(

PapoZalsa 12-21-2011 11:53 AM

Got the VA State Inspection and Registration done.

Was going to do the rear valance batmobile overlay but is raining. :mad:

Are SC reliable for the track? Also will it kill your mileage or is that just a result of you gunning it more with the newfound power?

Alchemy 12-21-2011 12:32 PM

Nothing is reliable on the track, lol. Overall I would say a supercharger is more reliable than TT. But aftermarket F.I. is never gonna be bulletproof. Gas mileage should be fine minus romping on it more:tup:

Waiz 12-21-2011 02:14 PM

I have the rest of the week off so I drove down to the beach to check the surf but ended up not getting a session in.

I will be washing the beast later today :tup:

Passed a GTR driving the opposite direction on my way to KFC to grab lunch today. Also noticed that even though I got all the quietest options, 18" resonators and RESONATED HFCs, I still set off some car alarms, especially off a cold first start of the day, but even just driving by some cars in the structure. My car's not even loud other than first start up. Car alarms are way too sensitive.

My 240z is high compression and I run a 6-2-1 header, 2 3/4" exhaust and a dynaflow at the end. It is pretty loud and one of my favorite past-times is to rev the engine a bit in parking structures to see how many car alarms it sets off. It's a blast. I should grow up some day.

Your goal should be to never grow up!

:tup:

Fire 12-21-2011 03:28 PM

I doubt you have to worry about Onze growing up Waizzz just growing old LOL. Oh and a few days ago I started a what did you do with you Camaro today thread at the camaro forum and in 3 days it has 45 posts. I haven't been banned from the site yet but did just post how poorly the Camaro accelerates and handles compared to the Z. Also one thing I didn't like about the Camaros paddle shifter is that the turn with the steering wheel so it is hard to keep track of which paddle is which to shift.:stirthepot:

yah, that is the same way on my Honda Fit. :ugh2: hope you bought the manual camaro cause that will get old VERY quickly.

brucelidat 12-21-2011 03:36 PM

I read a review somewhere where they were knocking on the Z for not having the paddles turn with the wheel. I think that guy was an idiot and hater (the review was pretty negative)

Fire 12-21-2011 03:37 PM

My deal fell through with Chevy. It was going to be a 6m. They said with the payoff of the Z and the SC the banks wouldn't go along with it. They said why don't you buy the vert and get a SC later. Well hell if I cannot afford a $6000 SC for my Z how am I going to swing a $13,000 SC for the Camaro?:confused:

Fire 12-21-2011 03:39 PM

I agree Bruce the nice thing is always knowing where the paddles are and what they do. It is possible to have the down paddle on the up paddle side if in a turn. Oh wait you never shift in a corner right? LOL

brucelidat 12-21-2011 03:46 PM

thinking of ordering the decal since I have learned a lot from this site and its great members. anyone know how big the decal is and if it will fit on our little rear triangle windows?

that is just dumb. the paddle needs to be stationary... can't shift while making a turn at an intersection. even a wider left hand turn i cant find the frikken paddle on the Fit while turning cause it spins with the steernig wheel. i HATE that car. :D

oh i see. sorry to hear, but the Z is so much better overall than a camaro, no?

Fire 12-21-2011 03:55 PM

Ken you can feel the extra weight in the Camaro. I would say that I'm comparing two very different cars. The Z is a small nimble sporty car while the Camaro is a muscle car where you need huge power to make it feel right. The Camaro I wanted was to be 680 hp and a 6m I felt that would give me the sporty feel I want.
