Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today II

:icon17:

The car is there now. "Darryl" left right before I showed up so I couldnt have him look at it. Its staying overnight and awaiting him in the morning. I have my fingers crossed.

Everything will turn out OK as long as your guy is not the first or second Darryl in the photo.

I heard they were going to jack it up 4¢ tonight, then another 4¢ in the morning. They are talking $1.50/liter this week for the cheap stuff. That shoud make 94 octane $1.70/liter :shakes head:

I really need to get a tune for 91 octane. :icon14:

I took it apart yesterday and found corrosion on the logic board (pic attached). The good news is that I can replace it. The bad news is that a new board will cost $500-700. The price seemed high but when I factored in the dual CPU's and new GPU that's included with it, the price actually seemed kind of fair. The wife has given me her blessing to order it but I honestly feel bad after installing the Koni's ~2 weeks ago.

Good morning all. :tiphat:

Just a quick update --- I replaced the logic board earlier and basked in the joy of my Frankenstein moment. Twas a glorious day. :tup:

My Dyno tune was done with 94 octane. I thought it was a good idea until I realized how hard it is to find anywhere outside of my town. I'm trying to get in contact with someone at Uprev, but only get voice mail. They are too busy to return calls... Ugh...

Around here only Petro Canada has 94, everyone else has 91 max. However with these gas prices, 94 is luxury lol

I spent about 5 minutes in the garage looking at her trying to get up enough gumption to put her on jacks and tackle the sway bar install. Then my phone rang and the moment passed. Alas post work laziness won out and she never made up on jackstands.:shakes head:

What's it cost to purchase the uprev and an associated installation/tune? $400?

could be that, around here, shop is selling the Uprev for $300 then you maybe have 2 hrs dyno time, so another $300 roughly

oh by the way, didn't forget about u, I took a picture of the the brackets for the rear Shine Auto spats...just need to upload them lol

04-03-2012 11:04 PM

Oh cool! I really appreciate that brother! I really need to get a jump on buying 'em to complete my rear end look. How much was paint prep & install if you don't mind my asking?

No worries

I got mine in Carbon Fiber though, so no paint or prep :)

I would say maybe $150-200 depending on the shop. Shop I went to was installing my spacers and they just put them on, made brackets and even put rivets for maybe $50 which was awesome.

I will say they help complete the rear so much, always felt something was missing, and the spats fix that big time :tup:

I've got my trusty hat on my PWJDM SS knob, right?

I remove my trusty hat from said PWJDM SS knob and apply palm to knob's surface......

Don't try this at home kids! :)

Looking forward to Coffee and Cars on Saturday and then the big Nismo Fiesta in San Antonio on the 14th and 15th. I'll take lots of pictures.

Ugh. I've got my stainless TWM showing up today (thanks for letting me hold your knob, btw) and I was just thinking about how hot it would get in the summer. I guess I sort of park in the shade at work so it shouldn't be too bad.

Good Morning everyone. Hope you all have a nice Wed.

Sorry to hear about everyone's knob issues. ( :icon17:)

I always heard just covering it would do the trick, I guess not. Is it the actual temps inside the car that are heating it up then?
