I don't know exactly but carbon tends to change it's gripping properties based on temp...I was driving for a while which causes it to release oil and grip due to heat, but with the outside temp being so cold i probably just clamped on.....my car has no documented history with NISSAN...i modded it starting in 2/04 when i got it and have been asked to never go back....my plans are a secret because yes...it has never been done before....i don't even know if it's gonna work...so why have people ask me a million questions if it's experimental.......i'll tell you on thing when it's done I will post a HUGE write up......

Personally i like to be the normal guy on the forum that everyone assumes just has a Z .. not this TT Z or that Body Kit Z or that or that..
+1 on that note......... but i like to list mods.. saves vendors asking me about them....

never understood the big deal with people going FI or building the engine being a secret. Is it so people can come back in full force with ALL of their awesomeness and have crowds of admirerers gather around? Pretty much anything with car design and performance has been thought of in terms of modding. People have put jet engines in their cars - and bikes. So I dunno, nothing is going to suprise me unless it actually IS a real flux capaciter
Besides, if it was suuuuch a secret, people probably wouldn't even bother to say they're working on a super secret project for their Z. They just wouldn't even mention it. The people that make big announcements then come up with nothing shouldn't have even bothered saying they're working on anything - secret or not

who said i'm going FI or anything for that matter.....i am working on a few ideas...when I can say I am doing "so and so" with concrete evidence then i will disclose my plans......also things don't always work out as planned....so by me saying nothing noone can speculate....LOOK at what happened to bubble's widebody....so much hype and nothing...
Mike thanx...and yes....if I keep the Z I need to budget horsepower per dollar and see what I can afford

Who cares if he wants his stuff a secret? Being on the forums doesnt give everybody the right to others business, you guys are such cry babies. Id much rather see a final post with the build info and results than a lame a$$ "Im doing XXX and XXX thread"....

Without a doubt, most family and friends will never understand this passion.
