He had $200 to kill

The Z makes a little appearance. Teaser video from HalfMile V Invitational, low boost shakedown run.

Got my cel read today. If I'm correct I need a new upstream oxygen sensor? Opinions?
I did forget to mention an important piece of information: when the TP's were put in we did use an impact and had to cut one the bolts off after the head rounded out. That's the reason I lean towards the o2 sensors.

Hey, hey! It was only $140!

I was getting a little knock in one of my more aggressive maps, and I told him I was going to do all my PM's. Plugs, oil, clean tb's, Mafs, filters etc etc. he said if I wanted to, go for the GTR plugs, they're a step colder and "in some cases it helps but it definitely never hurts!" ... it's like an extra $80... but oh well. I've been getting a ton of OT lately

I'll do some more logs, send them to him and see what he says.

ChaseZ · 06-04-2017, 11:10 PM

An $80 gamble to see if it helps before going ahead and retarding some timing is worth it if you ask me.

Was the knock frequency isolated?

Lookin' great as ever. What rpm did you launch at? Sounded like 2500.

I like how you went up against my old car (SRT4) with my new car (Z).

B&W_Evader · 06-05-2017, 08:43 AM

New rear XP8 pads installed. With the new OSG LSD, either my slotted rotors or my VDC ate these alive and the reason I now have a yaw sensor power switch. Less than 20k on these before the rivets started scraping.

Think that was around 28/2900, no burnout, 21psi. Was last run of the day, supposed to be up with a 911 but they waved me up for this guy. When the very unprepped asphalt was nice and hot was able to get off 3400ish and hook a lot better.

Little sucker was built too. He actually trapped a lot higher than me but with the amount of busses between us it didn't matter lol

That was just some teaser they put up. They had camera drones and everything going too so should be some better video coming out later. My GoPro batteries were all nearly dead so didn't get much footage of my own - I thought they were all fully charged so never bothered to check beforehand.

Sounds about right. From a roll they hauled - from a dig it was almost pointless.

99% sure you killed the o2 sensor, any good amount of vibration will destroy them.

I got a killer deal on an OEM sport package spoiler on eBay

Nissan 370Z 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Rear Spoiler Gray metalic OEM 370 Z | eBay

only $135 shipped. It's the wrong color, but for the price i'll get it painted. It even comes with all the hardware and the drilling template!!!

Is it just me, or does the nose of that 'Vette (in the video above) look so much like the RX7 FD series?
