I don't think Yancy's car is fixed. I think he is going to drive his explorer.

I'll post mine.

I'm not quite sure what's wrong with my Z just yet. I think there is a MAJOR boost leak somewhere. It runs fine off boost and up to about 2 psi, but as soon as I start to push it harder than normal driving or try to mash it down, it does nothing but bog down or choke itself to death (almost like a car feels when there's water in the gas - which can't be the situtation here cuz I'm running 100 octane). Really running bad right now.

I took it to Godspeed on Saturday morning to hopefully get things resolved, but no luck. Dan drove it and thinks there's a boost leak somewhere that cannot be seen (likely at the side of the engine near the manifolds). I need to get a full boost leak check done to find it and get it fixed ASAP because I'd like to be at the Woodward dream cruise this weekend! Getting the Z back down to Novi and getting it repaired before this Saturday may not be possible. Isn't there a tuner shop somewhere off of Ryan or Dequinder around 696?

I was going to take the explorer to the track on Saturday, but I kinda got side tracked with a female I know that explorer has a 18-19 sec 1320 in it I wonder what kind of hole shot I can get with 4 wheel drive.

My best run was 14.6. I am almost 1 second better than last time. Maybe the new PLenum will help. I want to get in the 13s

good luck with that yancy. thats the one bad thing about michigan. not too many people around that do this type of work.

not bad mike. there's still some room for improvement though. wait til the weather gets cooler, and slap on some mickey thompsons. easy 13's

are we doing anything for the cruise?

This Nissan Tech thing isn't an offical Nissan gig. Apparently they gave up on it last year. I tried it get ahold of the West Michigan Z Club to see if they would like to join us but no response. I just figured that we could all meet here at Nissan and head out to the cruise together.

i think we're still waiting to see what happens with the rite aid deal. if that falls threw then there really is no reason to meet at the tech center.
