Awesome Find, today. This is what I've been scouring eBay for. I finally found them. Bought a couple and recommend them to any other Z owners.

This doesn't fit our keys. I am currently contacting the seller if they do have ones that will...

CXL, they don't make 'em and won't!

Cipher Logs; 2nd through 3rd gears at wot. The tuner was here the other day and we flashed on a tune that keeps map 1 the same (good tune) and maps 2-5 have timing "graduating" in each map so he will examine all of the #'s and get a good performance tune with best timing on it.

IToday- Motordyne 5/16 plenum spacer install. Am DEFINITELY feeling a nice punch in the first 4 gears...and it makes my Invidia exhaust sound even BETTER...which I didn't think was possible.





Tomorrow it's getting washed, clay barred waxed and sealed.....it's gonna be a great day.

Looks much better in the rear. You could always rebuild those into 3 piece and run wider specs.

Nawww, as much as I love my cars and doing stuff to 'em, I've grown a little weary of doing any more stuff to the Z33s as they're where I like 'em and will only be doing minor tweaks here and there.

Working on two other "project cars" right now (real projects, not just amping up my dailies) and those are taking up my self-imposed, allotted "car hobby" budgets....

At least that's what I say now.....

You added another Z to your collection. High roller Mic your garage puts my local nissan dealership to shame. I'll look forward to your novel comparison of the zeenoshay...

As for what I did on my z.. Nothing really because the parts not on the car but worked on filling my damn wiper hole.

black suede shift boot to match the rest of the car and the Sparco seats, soon to be redone in suede as well.
Also bought their chrome rings for the gauge cluster.. will go great with the shinnier machined bezels of the speedhut gauges im picking up soon.. vs the satin silver on the current ones.
Nice match to the Nardi horn ring too
they snapped in place tightly right over the carbon fiber overlay thats on he gauge face already.. nice job.

Pistons finally came in, Got my skirts and tops coated. Waiting on my Turbine housings and manifolds to finish up with its heat treatment so I can start this build again. This time Aiming for 825hp+, we'll see how long that'll last until the HP bug bites again!
