I’ve had hesitation right around 2400 rpm since the car was turbocharged, we haven’t been able to tune it out either… after researching for hours I finally think I’ve got a solution for my car, I need to add another OEM damper to the passenger side fuel rail. I think it’ll cost around $160 to get everything put together, I’ll post up the part list & sources I’ve found if you’re interested (don’t have them at work…)…

I feel the hesitation at 2400 when I’m in 1st gear trying to cruise in a parking lot and in higher gears when I’m trying cruise at a steady speed.

 

I can't remember but did you cut into your hood or buy it like that?

 

i bought a stock hood and had it cut using the template found on this site. Its extremely tedious work.

 

a few pictures of last weeks Pizza and Pistons event.. first show entry, first win, albeit it was a small event and very impromptu lol.. i was surprised i pulled a win.. i was pretty smashed when they were announcing and had to hop the fence on the bar patio to run n grab my award lol.. stellas..

Also got my PTP Lava turbo blanket on. yet to fire it up and drive with it, but hopefully will cure my heat issues and let me put a hood back on lol.

 

Is he really standing on his car?

Congrats on the win.

 

yeah i ahd to look at that a few times.. i think hes actually standing on his WING>. craaaay.

 

updates: ton sof pics from the Fresh Grocery Getters photo shoot we did at City North.. a very impromptu shoot i will add.
YES THE REARS ARE SCREAMING FOR 10MM MORE POKE>> IT SHAL BE DONE SOON lol.

Great shots of the car tho.. had to share:

 

Looks great. I am glad you are finally enjoying it.

 

im glad other ppl are enjoying it. It excites the younger crowd like i remember feeling when i was 19 lol.. thats all that matters in the end really.

 

I've been following your FI thread.

Had no idea the extent of your exterior mods.

 

Looks great. Glad that you can finally drive it and not have to worry about shops being gay. I'm not a fan of those seats, I think some racing seats would really set it off because the color of those seats just kind of clashes with the rest of the car. Just my 2 cents. Other than that, great stuff.

 

Car looks like a beast, nice pics.

 

seat color matches the gauges and goes with the illumination perfectly. I had them made when the car was still silver tho.. if you saw it in person, i guarantee youd change your mind in a flash tho.. theyre one of the most money parts of the car honestly. Race seats are far too small and are also uncomfortable.. im a large man lol.

Willeh.. thx man..
and yeah i get to 'enjoy it' here n there but it still needs some work done.. larger fans, a third damper on the fuel rail.. and i have to get some more air to the radiator somehow.

hoping that removing the crash bar and cutting out the underside of the veilside nose/beak will help... as of now i only have a 10x30 square for air to come in.

Cars at my friends shop right now getting the 240a alternator and underdrive pully installed, as well as bigger spacers in the rear and new o2 sensors.. hope it helps smooth out the driving.

 

Looks good man! I've always been a fan of the V3 kit, but too many people do it wrong. Nice work.

 

Sick car man, btw i dig those seats too!!! One of the better 350z's ive seen.

 

One of the few VS 350Z's that can pull off the look.

 

Having seen this beast in person, I will say that the seats look great.

 

Meanest 350z on here.

 

thanks ehrboday.

 

Car looks ridiculous, well done sir.

Did the turbo blanket end up making a difference? It's too bad you had to put one on cause it doesn't really flow well with the rest of your engine bay. Have you thought about tucking any wires under there?

Also, is that an HKS oil cap? Where did you get it? That's the money part on the car imo
