I have my Stock HR 18's that i am debating selling if your interested, they have tires on them that are about 40-50%. No curb rash or anything they are nearly in mint condition.

Im leaving for tahoe today after work wont be back till Sunday late in the afternoon

 

I should be at ES!

 

^^ Me too ...

 

How much you want for those wheels? Got any pics of them? I shall be googling here in a minute too.

 

Do you have to register to park with all the cars or just show up? I'll probably at least go as a spectator lol

 

At ES? No registration .. just show up. Look for my Z .. you can park by me ..

 

Cool I will...what time does it start?

 

Alright, so i've been kinda MIA a while again. I've been having some pretty shitty car issues. First it had the horrible exhaust leak on the Y-pipes. easy fix, new Y pipe is on. The car idles fairly rough, moreso than normal. With the cobb accessport tune on it it intermittently threw a CEL (would come on then flicker off, then on then off. was weird as ****).. Pulled the code which gave me p0301 (misfire cyl. 1) Nissan told me it would probably be a spark plug or coil pack. plugs were changed MAYBE 20k ago, so i swapped the possible bad coil pack to the other side, turned the tune off and drove it. The misfire seemed to stop, but the car still idles rough. I ended up just replacing that coilpack just for good measure. Seemed to actually get a little better. Now the car idles almost normal but still rough. idle-around 2000 rpms it rumbles a lot exhaust-note wise. then after 2k and up it sounds normal and fine. Seems to be lacking a little power too though. Still breaking in the 4.08's so i haven't really gotten on it much. when i replaced the coil pack i checked for vacuum leaks, none. I got under the car to listen for any exhaust leaks from the header/cats and none it seems. My driver side cat is pretty bashed up from being scraped being lowered. Yesterday driving home, I noticed my oil pressure indicator was showing really low pressure. I let the car cool and checked the oil but the oil was really high. like half way up the dipstick far passed the high mark. I've kind of reached my breaking point and about to just say **** this car. any thoughts before it gets driven off a bridge?

also, when driving its rpm is fine, but coming to a stop, sometimes it will go low, way past idle (600ish) and drop down to like 200, then come back up to 600. idk wtf!

stats: 2003 touring Z, 77,7xx miles, oil changed every 3k miles, never goes below 1/4 tank of gas, all the exhaust leaks have been fixed no vacuum leaks, stock tune.
Mods: JWT pop charger, berk z-tube, kinetix plenum, dc headers. "true" dual exhaust (hard to explain what it really is) from the cats back. oem 4.08 fd gears, jwt clutch and flywheel. Had the Cobb stage 2+ tune on it for a while, which i took off when i put the cats back on to smog it. turned it back on for a while to raise the rev limiter for the 4.08's.

 

Maybe something with your fuel delivery???? Only other thing that I could think of is a cam or crank sensor which should throw a cel.

 

Why not call a shop and tell them what is going on and see what they say? I dont trust Nissan to tell me those things straight up...

 

Being as I work for Future automotive, Nissan doesn't assrape me on cost or skimp on the work lol. They even let me watch or help if im not working.

@Rye, yeah i'm gonna have to check my fuel pump as well as injectors soon too i think. Hopefully i can just get a denso pump and clean the injectors.

As of just now, i finished cleaning my maf and throttle body. Car seemed to respond favorably to it. Accel felt better and smoother. Idle seemed to calm a bit. Oil pressure, though unrelated i guess, is more normal. It did still drop and rise on coming to a stop, but, instead of going to 600, dropping to 200 and back up, now it went to 600, rose to 1000, back down to 600 lol. wtf

 

My oil Guage does the same thing sometimes. I'm not sure that they are always 100% and I know mine can stick up top sometimes.

 

yeah, i've been reading a lot of people with complaints about their gauges being off. Still confused as to why i have oil going so far up my dipstick (lols, so punny).

this is where it was today after a 10 min drive. it was lower the other day though. like.. scary low. lol

 

also... the source of my leak has been found! hahaha

 

^^^you going to euro sunday?

 

That looks good LOL jeebus. I have a stock y pipe you can have Jermy.

 

so when are we having a meet? Its becoming summer and i need to see some Z`s that have v1, v3 bumpers and spoilers etc.....You can only get a idea of what it looks like online.....

Lets do it!

 

yezzir i'll be there

Hahaha right? Thanks I appreciate it, but I ordered a Topspeed one from CZP as soon as i found out it was bad. already installed the new one haha.

 

EuroSunday is tomorrow here in Roseville at the fountains across from Galleria mall. There will be a handful of Z's there among other really nice cars. There is a separate thread with all the info I believe. You should come through, though it is early in the morning lol.

 

What time does it start? Man I didn't have time to wash the Z up today and I was going to touch up some rock chips on my front lip
