I drove it hard before the rain came....Call me stupid, but I put the auto in manual mode and beat the crap out of it...I thought only the Manual tranny had uprev...Because it sure uprevved everytime I down shifted coming to a turn...God it was a blast.....

Sticks like glue....

Finally installed the rest of my Z1 Motorsport silicone hoses (PCV today).

I would think all paddle shifters in ATs rev match. Otherwise how would you do it between gear shifts w/o a clutch?

Bucketlist2012 · 01-05-2013, 09:15 PM

When I was out today , I saw a guy in a BRZ...We get to the red light and there is no one around..

He is looking all nervous and won't look at me.. When he finally does, I give him a thumbs up because the car looked cool and I don't see many of them.. I shocked the heck out of the guy and he just smiled ear to ear.

And because we were on the streets in my town and racing is illegal, I just cruised off the light and went on my merry way.. No Racing..

Truth be,the 370Z Sport/Touring looked way better and beefier, and I wasn't worried about him beating me, but it was more about just letting him know his car was cool....not 370Z cool, but stilll cool...

Took a 100 mile round trip drive to St. Pete to show my mom my Z. Took her for a ride down 275. Got a big

from her, but she says the car is to low for senior citizens.

My GTR start button showed a difference in my "butt dyno" too. And stickers. Stickers increase WHP according to the "butt-dyno".

Yep it is noticeable to me. I installed ART pipes and CBE and then added the drop ins. What I notice is better acceleration and responsiveness. Not sure if there is horsepower gains that are noticeable. I will be getting an UpRev tune at the end of the month and I am curious to see how my numbers match with those who have aftermarket CAI. I think it should be within 5 whp of most with the same setup and a CAI.
