More set back, atleast the z is in good hands, he drove over 2 hours to pick it up.

think you have oil blowby onto maf?

Put the Z away for the winter. She's tucked away under a car cover. Dammit, I just realized I didn't change the oil. Guess I'll have to crawl under there soon and get that done. Brrr...

May as well leave the old oil in there all winter then switch it out before first start up so it doesn't break down from being cold all winter.

I've done that before (mainly because I forgot or got lazy), but you have a good point. I always change the oil in the spring anyway.

Pics of the Z for the next 6 months. Don't mind the tennis ball hanging there. It's for the wife and the new van.

The Z has 58xxx miles on the odometer.

Pretty positive it's in the harness. We can move the harness around and change how the idle is. Cleaned up some connection points that had a little corrosion on them and the car was great for over a week. This harness that's on the car now is a used harness that's been hacked up here and there... I moved the car around yesterday and it sounded like a damn Subaru.

Some pictures of the test fitting. Wanted to give everyone an idea of 10" +30 specs.








The suspension arm is scary close. I thought it was rubbing at first glance. I tried fitting a thin cardboard in between and it was rubbing. After getting under the car though it looks like there's more room than first thought. It's still gonna be close with 275s.

You should be ok.
I had close to that setup and never rubbed.
I ran Nismo LMGT4 square, 18x9.5 + 35 with 275/35/18.
You setup would be only 1mm closer to the suspension arm.

Are those 18" or 19"?
