Well been trouble shooting the Z cooling issues have it down to either the relays for the fans or the fans themself. Just need to pick up a test light or some alligator clips to isolate the exact parts. Almost back to running status.

I think Ethan picked up a multi reader a few weeks ago. Use that to test if it's getting power.

yeah I checked the coils on the relays they seem good but the switches on the relay could be bad, so was going to look the coil the the car battery and test the switch part of the relay, the other option is test the power at the connectors for the fans and see if its getting power, and the 3rd option is the test the fans them selves by just hooking them directly up to the battery. Might do this tomorrow or next week depends on how motivated i am tomorrow. If it turns out to be the fans anyone run anything besides stock, dont think i really need more then stock but figured someone might have some input.

Reminds me of this Mom organizing a Girl Scout Cookie event and took off with a couple grand from all the money her girl scouts collected.

Well gents, some drunk fukk hit me on 295 yesterday pretty hard. It was at about 5pm and he blew a .22! Smashed up my baby and then I hit the car in front of me. He was driving a Mariott passenger van (thankfully with no passengers). Also thankfully, I was not hurt. Just very bitter my babied Z is crunched.

Every panel is fukked except for the roof and drivers door. I don't think the pics really do it justice, but it's pretty banged up. I'm sort of hoping the insurance co totals it because then I'd never be able to resell it. I'll take it to Frank and see what he thinks after the insurance co comes through.

lol knew this was comin. I had big plans, did a bunch of bolt ons and then sort of just fizzled out. I know it's just for show, but my buddy used to run a shop and he wanted to work on it for cheap so I figured why not.

The stock fans are failure prone, but there's a TSB that extends the warranty to 100K miles. Mine failed and I got the new stockies for free...and they work just fine even on a PWR radiator.

I put a full body kit and CF hood on my car a week before starting my turbo install. I straight up hated driving it around.

PSU - I've seen a lot of crunched up Z's in my tenure here and that's actually not too bad. Hop on craigslist/e-bay/car-part.com, you can easily replace F/R bumpers, a hood yourself for a cheap price.
