hey sunset, sweet im going to definatetly look into that INJEN intake, but im a little confused....The popcharger is also a intake correct? why would you compare it to the UR pulley, im a little confused, and if what you are saying that the popcharger's price for a ur pulley would be the better bet, should I just go with a popcharger all together..?
Thanx for the feedback!

the injen CAI will run you around $250 and its gong to be mainly for looks and not much power. the same goes for the popcharger but i think its only around $150 since its a short ram setup. both of them wont get you much power.
the reason why im comparing the intakes to the crank pulley is because you can get a UR crank pulley for about $130 and get a lot more bang for the buck when compared to the intake. it all depends on what you want, looks or more hp. i got the intake first. lol. nothing like shiny metal in the engine bay.

i think your right jon. i got mine from a friend for $130. i forgot about that. my fault on the pricing.
my plan is to have no plans. im just putting the last touches on my re-install today. thats why im going to the strip. i dont have a dual purge anymore and the install is not stealth like the last time around but it looks sick. give me a call, we can set something up for the weekend. 3136735215. your running nx right?
toodles.

norwalk has a sweet strip but its 2 hours away in ohio. milan is the best option for a dragstrip. they cant void your warranty unless the issue youre having is directly related to the mod.
just got back from milan. my best from last year with a 35 shot was 13.8. today with the TC mod and this time only running a 25 shot, i pulled off consistant 13.2's. i wanted to try and beat my best of 12.6 @ 125 shot but i forgot my jets at home so i couldnt go any higher then 25. oh well.
im going to go to milan one more time before the season ends, hopefully late september. ill post here a few days ahead of time in case anyone wants to go.

i think my plugs are due for a change. my engine is choppy and running super lean at idle. the ECU is throwing me a 300 code. "mutiple cylinder missfire". irridium plugs are sopposed to be good for 25k, and im only at 18k. i think its because im running rich when i spray. gotta be. either way, new plugs will be here in a few days.
Jon, give me a call tomorrow if you still want to work on your car. im free til 6pm saturday or all day sunday. whatever is better for you.

Problem with my car..
Hey everyone,
Im a little puzzled right now about my car because of something that happened to me yesturday, and I wondered if anyone had this problem and know's what it could be...
Started off yesturday, on 14 mile and i was at a light, on the other side of a light there was this new RX-8, of course he saw me and started revn his engine...so like a ********, (the light has turned green), i go to a slow 5 mph roll, put my car in nuetral(i have an autostick) and rev my engine up a few times..well i completely let off the gas and all, put it back into drive to get back to driving and moving along with traffic, my car jerks, and my tires just rippped for about 3 seconds, it couldve been longer or shorter, but it felt like forever, and i mean they ripped, i have never done that, and on occasion when there is someone next to me that is revn up theirs ill of course rev up mine..but i make sure not to drop it back into Drive with me still revn, because i dont want to Nuetral slam it...well anyways, my car gets back its traction, gets back to driving, and when i go to push on the gas to go, the rpm's just ****ing skyrocket...and can't even get up to 20-25 mph, without the rpms just getting past the redline...it was weird, so i slapped the autostick over to see if that would help, when i shifted upwards, the numbers would show changing, but the car would maintain this really weird high rpm band with no more than 20-25 mph range....so i pulled over to the middle lane...completely shut off my car, putting it in park etc...waited a few seconds...checked my engine, nothing was smoking, nothing smelled...then i got back in, started upt he car, and everything was normal. Ive been driving it for a day now, almost 8 diffeerent start ups and i have no problems....i was wondering if anyone has ever had this problem..or if anyone has any idea what it could be..and if i should take it to the dealer for a checkup...
Thanx Guys!

i had a problem of that sort when i first got my TC mod. i floored the gas pedal, lost traction and my rpms bounced a few times off of the rev limiter in first gear. then it wouldnt shift up and stuck in first. i had to pull over put the car in park before it went back normal.
it happened twice acutally and both times i was in drive and not manual mode. i've bounced off the rev limiter over 100 times in manual mode without a problem, so i think its some sort of safety feature in regular drive mode. nothing to worry about.
either way, nuetral drops are a tranny killer, even if it was accidental. be carefull.

Body Kit/Wintertime SeAson
Hey everyone, Im currently interested into getting a body kit for my car, most likely a kit including a front lip, side skirts, land a rear fascia/bumper grounding lid...i was wondering if these kits come prepped and painted to your color specification, or if they come prepped and Ready to paint, and if so, do any of you have any good reccomendations on some good quality professional body shops or paint shops that are known and well-respected and will do a good job and have some good pricing? if so, i would like to hear some good replies and ideas, and maybe some ideas on where to look for some good body kits....thanx
Also, off the subject, I know that wintertime is soon approaching us Michiganers, and like some and maybe not like some im storing my car from November-March, luckily I got a winter ride....with that note..I was wondering if anyone had some upcoming meets or places for a good gathering where a bunch of us could get together before White Hell, Potholes, and Painteating/chipping rocksalt hits our part of earth...I haven't met any local Z owners really, so I was hoping to check out a few others..and get some up and close ideas and meet other Z fans...I know many of us work and have school, kids, etc..etc...but I know BDUBBZ(buffalo wild wings/bw's) is always a good place to meet...the one in Utica always has people with there specialty car group* always have certain meets with their groups...but in general BW's has good food and an open atmosphere and i no there is one out on Hall Road area and many more.....I also noticed ZLESSMORE put something about a car gathering which also sounds good....Just wondering whats up and if anything is approaching...Take Care all!!
GO NOTRE DAME BABY!!!

Lenny were you on Ryan about 6:30pm today? I saw a silver Z going south, hit the horn but no one from the car looked. Got a nice look from the girl in the car next to me though!

Jon I talked with Morris from Zdayz yesterday and he told me that he just bought one of your pullies. I was telling him about mine and the way it screams on the car. I also mentioned the fact that you said there may be a new one in the works. I told him I would ask you about it, so what is up with the new lighter weight one?
