Thanks CC Quick, I found the one that fell off on the 215..... It was pretty scuffed up. I tried to fix it but was unable to take the scratches out. So I took them to Snail motorsports to be powdercoated. I should get them back this week. Then I am having them welded on for safe measure.

I hate snail. MF douche bag. Car just went into limp mode on bd and Buffalo for like 5 minutes. Temp was about 216°, so I'm not sure why it did this.

Where was the oil meter below you left cluster?

216° I'm thinking possibly the battery. The car did the exact same as this member's car http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivetrain/86250-help-car-cant-turn.html

Limp mode from a battery? Weird.... I would think it would be a voltage issue with the alternator rather than the battery while you're driving at least. Maybe it's a fuel delivery issue? Did you BP car come with all the bells and whistles for you to monitor your AFRs and boost? Oil pressure? Etc?

Mentioned this to Ryan and he said he's seen both ways either battery or alternator. He had same question regarding your AFRs etc.

I have an afr meter and boost controller. Car drove fine once I started her back up. So the car stuttered, rpms dropped and then lights flickered and the car died. I tried to restart right away, but it sounded like it didn't have enough juice. It was struggling to turn over. I pushed it to the shoulder and got back in and she fired right up, like nothing ever happened.

I just replaced my battery on Monday but it just would not turn over, however my afr gauge has been doing weird things for a while and would just lock up give error code. I was thinking to myself that I should pay more attention to it than the voltage gauge.

glad you found it Pedro. paladin sent my wheels to snail to get powder coated a couple of years back and came back top notch. I think a few guys have come and gone since then.

I would still get your battery checked. Mine has done that, never left me stranded. If your battery is more than two years old given the extreme heat of the desert, consider yourself lucky. Also, when you buy one, one with three year replacement warranty

Just got the battery checked. 100% charged.

Process of elimination. Alternator should be checked next. Let us know if you need any help.

I'll run this by Ryan for some ideas. Maybe if you reach out to BP for some ideas on where else to look incase it's and issue with the build.

I would need a hand to check the alternator. I'm free tonight, if you guys are.

JENZ 05-28-2014 07:16 PM

Tonight is meet night but tomorrow we will be free. Ryan most of the day and both of us after 5pm.
