Hmm..thats a tricky area to weld. It could be done, but your best bet is a used plenum...sure they are dime a dozen these days.

Okay I plugged up the hole with JB Weld to check this problem.....idles fine but if I rev it to 3K w/o the A/C on while parked she shuts off on me again. SO that may have been one problem out of a few.

Car was dropped off at Performance. They are going to remove half of the kit, and flash my split second box back to it's untuned original state. Gonna start with that and take it from there.

Why removing the kit? You think something was not installed correctly?

Noah, sorry, if you've already tried this...boost leak test after JB welding the plenum?


Well, I see it's at PM...hopefully they can figure it out.

THanks for the offer dude....the Z community rocks!!!! Mark @ SGP gave me one....but seriously thank you....PM doesn't want to check my car my car for problems when it would take them just as long to reinstall it their way.....they are simply returning it to JIM WOLF's stock and checking from there....and then I need to retune it

They suspect that to be the case.....removing my idle stabilize mod, replacing my Plenum, flashing my SS back to it's original state and having Nissan rewrite my ecu again....they are also going to remove some of the couplers and replace them just for safety's sake....then we'll take it from there
