so far i've had pretty bad luck with my z.. even tho i love the car, it keeps giving me a headache..
ok i got the car salvaged, from a pretty reliable source.. this guy has been fixing/selling cars to my family for a while now..
so i drive it for a bit, "check engine" light comes on.. i dropped it off at the guys place.. he took care of it.. like a week later heater stops working, along with the oil pressure gauge, dropped it off at Serramonte Nissan they "took care of it", warrantied and all (heh because they didnt boter checking the title on a new car) after i get it back from them the next night driving on a freeway going about 80, wheel well on right side front, detaches, going under my wheel, ripping out a couple bolts and destroying itself..
i mean the thing costs like 30 bucks.. but still.. apparently it wasnt secured correctly and the dealership doesnt want to take the blame (by that time they figure out that the car has been salvaged, so no they have somebody else to blame).. and the most recent thing is that the car overheats.. some times badly sometimes not too much... some times the heater works .. sometimes it doesnt..
so yea.. it's going back into the nissan dealership now.. and i'll have them spend time and get rid of all the problems.. because i'm sick of dealing with this stuff...
i got my stereo parts sitting at home waiting to be installed.. but instead i'm running around trying to make sure my engine doesnt get messed up

I will have samples of that NASA label I showed you to send you in about a week. You will be able to check the quality then and maybe we can put something together.

Well, I LOVE it.. hehe.. when I first started driving my car I was REALLY missing my old car.. missed hearing the BOV and having boost. But now I'm really happy and adjusted to my Z... raw power = Just wish I had some money for a few mods. All in good time though I guess

It makes the Z sound pretty healthy. The stock exhaust is pretty effecient, but I like my Borla.
I bet you like the high end power. Glad you like it Anna.
If you see a black one giving you the high beams it might be me.
