It's been a long tumultuous road with my 350zs. Previously on the rebuilt engine, I had the timing guides broke (i've no clue how this happened. I was cruising 65mph on the freeway). I guess the tension expanded and broke, which busted up my camshaft ugg.. my heads were damaged as well. It was out of commission for about 9 or so months
Welp here it is. I'm probably missing a bunch of stuff on the list.. I'm trying to save up for the FCON, but in the meantime, I'll be running my old tune. I prolly need some better clutch when I turn up the boost. Thanks goes out to Sam and the GTM crew for all the hard work!! Runs and idles very smooth!!!!

My previous 350z - kept them both for about 6 months - NA

 

nice im so scared to go forced induction everyone seems to have serious problems with their set-ups

 

Nice to see you back up and going. I was wondering what had happened to your setup.

 

Man love that headunit hahahahaha just kidding, that car is sick. Congrats on being back on the road again and best of luck. I want to pay my ***** first of before I start seriously modding it, but sadly 15k away lol.

 

Nice to see your car back up and running, I know it must be nice. 9 months??? I can't imagine. My 4 month wait ends tomorrow and it's been hell!


Don't be scared, just make sure you have the time, patience, and money to go FI. Believe me, it's worth it.

 

Congrats on getting it back. It looks like a nice setup. The car's looking good.

One thing i'll say is it looks like that tune needs a bit of work. It's rich 10.5:1 in the mid range and leans out to 11.8:1 at redline. If it was supposed to be conservative it would be better if it were at a nice medium and consistent AFR. Just my opinion, of course.

 

thanks guys.. appreciate da support!

LOL, yeah.. got myself a cheap 'o aftermarket unit since that pic was taken.. ain't got no $ or the time for a fancy headunit

yeah.. i wouldn't mine leaning out in the mid a bit.. there's also a slight power dip around 5.2k range.. no biggie, tho.

tee hee.. broke my 6month record of waiting for my tommy kaira bumper!

 

congrats, it is always a tough road enjoy

 

That Z is Nice! sweet setup

 

Welcome back bro....it has been a long time....what psi was the latest pull at ?

 

thanks man. I'm still breaking in the engine, driving like a granny.. the dyno sheet indicates the pull from the previous build @12-13psi. hoping to go higher in boost, once i get my fcon. also hoping for better torque numbers

 

Congrats on getting back on the road! Downtime is a Beotch (my car has been down since july of 2006, should be up and running shortly).

Any installed pictures of your Tommy Kiara kick plates?

***Slightly Off-topic, it looks like we have the same cars. How are you liking the FJ?***

 

Here are some more pics




wow, 2006.. that's crazy.
I completely love the FJ and I'm sure you do too!! awesome offroad capability!!
