Maybe. What I did is I had GT Motorsports disconnect the hood latch relocate the hoodlatch wiring further back. You have to stick your hadn way up the dash board and find it with your finger and then pull it. No cop would be able to do that as sometimes I have difficulty finding it.

Still haven't pulled my injectors yet but did a little walkaround vid of my car yesterday to kill time while I let my car idle for 10mins since I hadn't turned it on in 2 weeks.

It's a weird feeing whenever your car is in a shop getting extensive work done to it. You have that sense of excitement but there's a little apprehension to make sure the thing turns over, works smoothly and performs.

Congrats on your Z dikspiel.

Oh, well didn't you say it could get ride of the CEL and the codes? Since you have it already, when are you going to look in to that so that you can pass out-of-state smog tests?

That CEL just came on, I haven't looked at it yet. Until then I was getting no CELs.

Update:

1) Haltech is still in Australia
2) Still haven't found the root to the issue with bank 1 (going to wait until haltech)
3) My car was used in a TV pilot yesterday, a hot chick was in it (sorry no pics)
4) I switched to Motul 300v 10w40 from Mobil1 and the oil pressure and water temps no longer spike randomly.

Car cleaned from yesterday:

Just spoke with Jeremy @ Haltech USA.

Turns out my unit was never sent to Australia but is in the hands of a repair tech in California. Jeremy said that the unit *should* be fixed within the next 14 days. The standard cost to repair is $145 and they would let me know if it costs more then that before they proceed.
