Ok - this makes sense. When I first installed them, my VDC would come on even accelerating in 5th gear... Now it seems to be a lot less. I still don't know the limits of the car though. I'm afraid to even take a turn off of a road...

Hello, Mr. Kenchan.

Well, I was going to take pics of the rear hatch this afternoon so you guys could see how it looks after repaint, but a wind/dust storm rolled in so it will have to wait until tomorrow or Saturday. Also, my Stillen front lip came in today

Can't wait to get that on. After that my first round of little mods will be complete

when you install the stillen splitter typeone recommended that you buy your own hardware (nuts/washers/bolts) to mount it to your bumper.

kenchan · 12-01-2011, 05:42 PM

SES light came on the bros Z the other day. Idle was at 1k, dealer hooked up black box and took it for drive with box connected. Readings said the car had backfired.....not. They called NNA tech support, they said check all grounding wires. They found the ground wire from engine to firewall, they cover was corroded. Bad connection. Cleaned and secured connection, reset ecu. runs like a champ. Moisture probably.....too many car washes.....haha

That blows! Sorry to hear it man. Was it bad (well...no damage is good...but you know what I meant)?

happytheman · 12-01-2011, 07:59 PM

Say, what's the general consensus on the Z1 spacers?

Hub-centric, solid.

It looks like the damage is limited to the fascia, so you can say it's not bad. Should be able to change the front plate.
