yea I know, putting away my Z next week probably either Mon or Fri, actually I could've put it away alot sooner being that I havnt driven it for almost 3 weeks. I was out of town this week as well, was out in Brandon S. Dakota for work, no where near as warm as were Dave is tho. Lucky bastard

 

Last year I put mine away around this time because of that early snow. But things turned around into nice weather for almost a month. This year I gonna hold on for a while and try and get a few more weeks drive. "Offseason is coming"

 

Why are you guys storing your cars? What is this "snow" thing people keep mentioning?

 

head up into the mountains, I am sure you will find some.

my dad and his wife just got back from japan on the 21st. had some interesting photos of random stuff they found.

 

What's up everyone, new guy here. Came over from G35Driver. Drive a lightly modded G35. Does anyone here have a red Nismo 350Z? We were both on 169 heading towards the Savage/Shakopee area. Car looks really nice.

 

Hey welcome! I can only think of one guy who owns a red nismo but I thought he totaled it at the Brainerd Race track so it must be someone else

 

Welcome. I saw a red Nismo just last week at the riverdale Mall. Waited out a bit to see if the owner came out from the Mall but never did. Was not ready to go inside and scream "hei who has that red Nismo out there?". Lol

 

Thanks for the welcome guys! beezee, did the Nismo Z have dark window tint?

 

I don't quite remember

 

Winter sucks.

 

hey aaron so do you think that i would still be okay tuning with the ss box and just went to bigger injectors and drop a 255 in the tank and ditch the vortech fmu with the 2.87 pulley? or do you think i should get an osiris tune or something? im out of fuel with the stock injectors. i should bump up another 40-50whp with the 2.87, do you think thats still safe with a good tune? You must be running a standalone or something huh?

 

well it looks like i finally got the dave curse. my passenger side window motor is out. dammit. and i spose the only place you can get a new one is from the stealership.

 

welcome new guy. we always think of you g guys as stuck up and snobby with your fancy clocks and your back seats..........




jk. yes there are a few nismos here and one of them is red.

 

My mom sent me this pic the other day. Shows me car and its ever so slow progress towards stockness.

It's so tall! lol Vette is tuned now with headers, intake and exhaust. 400whp i think is what my dad told me. They are keeping it out until the bitter end apparently lol My car gets to have the winters mounted and then it's 'ready'.

Hope you are all enjoying your last few days with the Zs!

 

No huge mountains in Okinawa.

There is a lot of random weird stuff here... like used panty vending machines.




Sorry guys... no group buys.

 

I don't know the limitations of the SS box with the Z. I know on other cars, they don't handle upgraded injectors very well. I would have this discussion with whoever is tuning the car.

I for one am not a fan of reflashes this car for FI. I personally wouldn't get the osiris. I don't know a ton about it, but it doesn't list mapping for new injectors on the site... just states fuel compensation. I know the parameters of the stock ECU are limited. As a result I would opt for a utec over the osiris. That said, in my experience, I am all for dumping big money into an EMS. I would say get a haltech and do it right.

I am not sure what power you are at, but if your tq numbers are no more than 375-380, I think you should be fine. You can run more than that, but that is the most I would personally push on a stock block

 

kyropterans? Sry, nerd blood+ reference.

 

and blue there is a window motor reset that might work if you wanted to try that before replacing the motor.

 

Quick picture of the whip.

 

z stored yesterday back to driving the frontier blahh.
