Just picked up my Z today...04 touring, its the dark grey color not sure of exact paint code name...6mt 46,000 miles...pretty much stole it for 6,000 cash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it has y pipe back exhaust(not sure what this means) apexi catback...aem cold air with bypass which i still havent figured out...and a motordyne spacer not sure what this is either lol i tried searching but oh well...i'll post up some pictures soon

 

welcome, how did you get it for so cheap? what's wrong with it? is it salvage title?

I will be nice. your exhaust goes from the headers, to two catalytic converters, to a Y pipe (the prongs on the Y bolt up to the cats, which merge into a single pipe.. hence, Y pipe), the aftermarket exhaust you have (which is a mid pipe plus a muffler). your cold air has a water bypass valve which protects the engine. http://www.autoanything.com/air-intakes/aem-valve.aspx

your plenum spacer is a mod that increases the volume of air for your plenum

 

thanks! that really cleared up things...clear title in my hands...it needs new front bumper and slight 1/4 damage near gas cap

also the guy said he ws deploying for army and i guess he got one heck of a signing bonus and wanted cash

 

Isn't this the 370z section??

 

oops lol i just saw new owners and posted...my bad!

 

fyi that rear quarter could cost you about 2k to repair = / you can get it done cheaper, but to do it right .. hehe.

oh well, great pickup either way.

 

nice find, good luck with your car, oh and keep us updated.

 

It must have a rebuilt title for that price?

 

and you must not know how to read earlier post...

entaille i'm lucky tho my neighbor works at toyota dealership body shop for a living and me and him are pretty good friends and hes always got some project going on on the side...hopefully he can squeeze mine in lol...

 

Congrats sweet deal!!

Welcome to the Z family.

What plans do you have for your Z?

 

well its already lowered,and most bolt ons...i'd like to add the nav unit(not sure how difficult it is)

but off topic...everytime i really get on it...it will start sputtering at 2500 rpms and jump from 2,000-2700 but wont go past...only way to keep going is to shift gears

 

OEM nav is very difficult to add and not worth while. it will cost more then it's worth. if you want nav I suggest looking into a good double din audio/nav head unit,

 

Are you mechanically inclined? If so, start with the basics (Check MAF, TP input, SES light?, etc etc.) If not, bring it to a knowledgeable shop so they can fix it

 

problem solved! i have an aem cai and so i took off the pipe that goes from maf to filter(inside fender) and the filter had water in it!!! and was terribly dirty so i bought new filter and boom!

 

that's not good... you are painting an ugly picture in my head.

car is cheap as hell, 6k .. guy is leaving town .. there was an accident with decent sized damage.. now you find the filter and it's super wet and dirty? those bypass valves are not fool proof. I hope he didn't hit a huge patch of water, suck up water into the engine, and wreck the car and pawn it off on to you.

something to think about.

 

^^^dude you are so right.... thats sounds kinda fishy now that you pointed it out. have the car checked out op

 

no worries i didnt even drive it home first i worked at a toyota dealership for 3 years and i'm friends with all the techs so i immediately put it on a lift...car runs perfectly fine much happier i can already tell

 

and if you look at the damage it left the lip above the tire unscratched almost like something hit it something tall or was thrown at it
