Nice job doing it yourself!

How do you like the Kenwood HU?

so far i like it a lot. easy navigation through ipod files and going through sources, nice DVD picture, still getting to know it and haven't used the navigation yet but seeing as i got it for $325 and it was less than a year old i'm pretty stoked

That's a good deal, you really can't go wrong.

Today I had to jump on it with the wife in the car. Some guy in Caddy SUV was pushing and not going to let the small car merge. So, 25-75 in about 4 secs. Left him in the dust as they say. The wife started laughing and she doesn't like fast most of the time. I think that is because in the other cars we own it requires banging of gears (those are manual cars) and there is a lot of head bobbing. In the Z is just goooooo. Then her comment was: "Yeah commute car, right. I knew this was going to faster than your old 350Z but, never thought a automatic would take off like that." I remindered her that the '67 Camaro with 650HP we own has a two speed automatic. Her response was, "That's not a six cylinder (economy) import car; this one has half the HP." She got me there plus, she has never been in the passenger seat of the Camaro so she has no reference. What other six cylinder car gets 27-28mpg and hits a sub 13 second quarter mile?

I Love my Z for what it is .... Life is short live it !!!

Ehhhh :ugh2:

yes, and the bluetooth sounds real clear and and i was suprised at how easy it was to set up.

Bone stock, no mods. Everything is bought, and paid for. Just hasn't shown up at the house yet. Uncorreted, it was 293hp and 237 ftlbs.

Very nice!

Got my Carbotech XP10's in the mail.

Nice job! That Dynamat is good stuff to work with. A bit expensive, but whatev.

Now it's time to replace that stock knob and take those Blockbuster movies back before you get hit with a late charge! :tup:

Yah, that's what I was thinking it should pull, while still being stock. Good job!

ANYBODY RUNNING AN UNDERDRIVE PULLEY?? Im thinking about picking up a pulley and didnt see anything in the DIY section about the installation of one. Im just wondering, to those who have one, how hard was the install??

Oh, and good morning everyone:tiphat:

Morning Everybody. :tup:

:tiphat:

:hello:

More than I thought it would on a Mustang dyno.

woah, this thread got infested by cancer.... :ugh2:

time for Thread III and lock out a member. :icon17:

So, there is no Z action for me today as I am prepping for some business travel to the big island of Hawaii. It's tough duty, but someone's got to do it.

hello, mr.onzege. for some reason tough duty and hawaii doesn't mix. :icon17: hope it's nothing too serious. :tup:

Good morning Mr. Kenchan :tiphat:

It will be a little work and a little rest and some photography.

good morning, mr. onzedge. sounds :tup:

Nice. I hope you have a good "business" trip. :tup:

last work i did there - we were forced to buy silk hawaiian shirts for the office... the mai tai's on waikiki made up for it :)

:tup:

me too, but then again, every dyno is different. for example, on HP Logic's mustang dyno, iirc, I pulled 296 whp, that was with LTHs, CBE, drop ins and a tune. Dyno was done over the summer (either this summer or last, I can't remember :icon17:)

For comparison, I baselined at my buddies shop who has a Superflo dyno. Baseline was 296whp. With LTHs and CBE ONLY, I redynoed 326whp.

So, dynos don't mean sh!t other than as a tuning tool and measuring the delta for all the mods you've done--provided you keep going to the same one, otherwise, irrelevant.

The only time comparing dynos is worthwhile is when there's dyno comp/shootout and everyone is dynoing on the same day back to back etc, THEN the comparos are valid imo.

/\ I know this isn't news to a lot of folks here, but there's always a few who get way to wrapped up in dyno #s. :tiphat:

I drove for a short distance today but the city decided to leave a huge puddle of water from over-running the sprinklers that I had no choice but to drive through. Then some dummy decides to drive with their windshield washers on for a good 20 seconds.

Long story short my clean Z from Saturday is no longer so clean :(

sucks waizzz... :( i knew there were bad side-effects from Armorall brand car shampoo's. :mad: :icon17:

yes it is pricey. i got the bulk pack from streetside auto for $135 and free shipping :-

Dynamat Part No. 10455

you a spammer? :confused:

:icon17:

Lmao!

It is drizzling, so I put the car cover on her in the garage and let her rest. Looking forward to parts coming in this week and start installations:happydance:.

Sweet! I'll be looking for some fotog moments from you either during or shortly after your return! Will you be out of touch?

Have fun anyways! :tup:


Parts? Do tell!

I will probably post my shots when I get back. Mrs. onzedge gets really onzedge if I spend too much laptop time when we are supposed to be onzbeach or inzspa.

haZagreattime!

Yah I get that! It's her time! Its all good! We'll try to keep the thread down to less than 30 pages so you don't have too much to read! :tup:

Car sat outside while I was at school and got haled on all day :( Some small imperfections on the roof and hood now. Don't suppose there's any way to get rid of it without replacing panels??

Ordered ARK v2 from FBNISSAN, Jomer took good care of me. Good guy to deal with. I can't wait to get it.

OMG:eek:
That completely blows! Hmm, if the paint's not broke you may have success with PDR.

Check around for people who do "paintless dent repair". They can perform miracles on dents without huge fuss. I am not kidding.
