Someone came today and gave me a $500 deposit on my 350! woohoo! 370 here I come!. Found a red nismo in ohio for a decent price...I love red but have never owned a red car, the stereotype is scaring me...With the exeption of silver(I hate silver cars) I really dont think this car looks bad in any shade!

FPenvy, I need to hear your exhaust sometime. I have the CNT cbe and test pipe but I can't get the dam H-pipe to stop leaking. So I'm thinking about getting rid of it and finding an exhaust without the H-pipe which is just about any other exhaust. I almost went with the Ark Grip and I should have. But now I also don't know if my exhaust is even loud enough for me so I'm thinking of the same set up as you..non resonated.

i bought my exhaust since it is one of the very few that is a true dual. most have some meeting or cross point in it.

and yea i have no problem meeting you and letting you hear the exhaust. i think you told me before but i cant remember where you said u were from in pittsburgh. i'm in ambridge which is like 12 miles NW of the city. takes me like 15-20 mins to get to the stadiums/casino/north shore. short drive down 65 for me well not so short since its still all torn up for road work.....as usual lol

bvdawg13 08-27-2012 10:06 AM

I'm now located in coraopolis , right off business 60. I had an apt in ambridge a few years ago. We're probably about 10 min apart.

Hey Robert thanks for finding us and stopping by. I'll have to look into your guys facebook site here later on and join up. I personally love driving my Z on trips or just around town so most likely I'd roll out to some your events as well.

So how did you do at the races? Sorry I couldn't make it over in time. Had to work to 7pm. :mad:

bvdawg13 08-28-2012 08:07 AM

So since I installed my cbe, test pipe, and intake, my car has felt so slow. slower than I expected, although I never really got on my car due to the break in period while it was stock. It did have a lot more bottom end and now that I have gotten on my car it just feels slower than I thought. When I hit 3k rpm's I expect a kick and I get nothing. Ive always had a car with a turbo so maybe I expect too much. I'm about to try and trade it in on an Evo again lol.

i did pretty good. i didnt do the "pink slip" stuff instead i wanted to race some different cars not just imports. i was sad though since a new BMW 1M beat me but not by much :( i did beat alot of other cars too. i ended up staying in waynesburg until like 9 since my old college roommate still lives down there with his wife.

it needs tuned. with the Z when a intake/exhaust combo is added it leans out the car where a tune will fix it right up and probably add 8-12HP.

Same here, I need intakes + tune, but working on getting my wing installed first.

I'm not imagining they will be OMG better than the Stillens, but what they do offer is one piece piping, less fab work needed, a complimentary intake tune, and they are cheaper. So whether or not they exceed Stillen gains, for the cost, it's just. :tup:

Fuckin kids. :shakes head: :bowrofl:

Granted, I've never done a strip run, and I really need to pop abby's cherry. I'm just not comfortable doing it without a tune. I know it's not necessary, but for peace of mind...

Our acura store has a 2010 white evo for sale, would hate to see you do it tho...as discussed quite often the Zs have a very linear power delivery, even the hondas give you that kick with VTAK, which is really fun on a modified honda, and you will never find that on the nissan sadly, sometime you have to watch the speedo climb to realize your acceleration rate...although it can be modded better do you really want the cracker jack box toy back?
My 350 felt sooo much better after a tune, no dad stops in the power range at all.

ahhh the jokes i have for this but it's early so i'll save em lol

but yea i know what you mean. i just have my exhaust no tune and mine runs just fine so intake added i will go with their complimentary AFR table tune since really thats all most places change when u go there and pay ridiculous money for tune and dyno time.

honestly i like the linear climb. there's always power no dips in the gains. i think his Z just needs some uprev lovin and it'll be more to his liking :tup:

I'm at the same point, I could order them, but I'll wait for the GB price. :tup:

Plus the fact that you Can't install them without a tune makes me hesitant. Like, why order them before I know I have the money for a tune as well and have them sit in the garage for X months... So I'm okay waiting till I'm financially able for a tune. :icon17:

I just wanna hurry up and get my damn wing installed! :excited:

Eff you buddie. :bowrofl:

That's true, but could you install that yourself with a COBB port, or would you Need a tuner to do it, cause if you could do it yourself with a cobb for $300, why not?
