Default FI'ed Z's! Who is running and who is struggling?

Attempted this last year before it got warm and the summer turned out to be a complete bust.

For all of my Mid-A FI'ed Z's, is your Z up and running? Do you have any issues to work out before the warm weather kicks in? I'd love to see another summer packed with faster-than-grandma's-NA Z's.

I'll start! No my Z isn't running too well. I have a fuel leak and desperate for a tune. Planning on getting both items done before the end of the March. To Hills I go.

I most likely have to replace the coil packs in my car since it feels like it's misfiring. In addition it's going to get an osiris software upgrade and a tune at hills garage. This should take place before the end of April. By summer, I should be ready to go.

Running stronger than ever, except my front lower control arm bushing just took a dump on me:



Been waiting for this to fail, now I have an excuse to swap in some uber hardcore suspension bushings!

P.S. Check your front lower bushings guys, this is known to be a failing part on all Z's. Simply peak under the front of your car and you should see it. They tend to fail at 75-80k miles, though I'm only at 61k. Spotted it right when it happened so I'm quite lucky.

Careful now....I make a habit of beating up on the non-driving mid-a FI folk.

I don't think the title of this thread was misleading

Turbos were leaking oil, take them out to find out both got blown seals. Boostlab should have them to me back by Friday. Replacing the greddy oil pan for AAm Spacer and SS oil return lines to get rid of the rubber pos and install my oil cooler and i should be good to go like Donkey Kong on his way to Hon Kong
