It's back!!!!!!!!!!!
It's back!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like a giddy 16 yr old kid who just got laid for the first time.
Got the Z back last night after a lengthy tuning session. We had some fuel issues (suprise, suprise..........bet you never heard that one before) that we had to rectify, but once that was figured out we were on our way.
Special thanks goes out to Kevin "The Ga$$hole Expert" Gilman, (who is quickly becoming a nationally recognized fuel system expert I might add) and Eric/Jason from Boulder Nissan who through their wizardry figured out the issues we were having and the 3rd try with repair was the charm. I might also add that it was very nice that Charles from CJM answered his cell phone when we called for some advice. It is his return fuel system that I am using.
I will post dyno charts later if I can figure it out, but with my luck I more then likely won't be able to cause I am a bit of an idiot when it comes to the internet and computers, my strengths are drinking beer and impressing the ladies. But here are the numbers in case you are wondering:
437 hp
367 lb. ft. Torque
This was done with the Vortech Tuner kit, UTEC, Crawford headers, Stillen test pipes and Stillen TD exhaust, return fuel system from CJM and ACT clutch/flywheel combo.
Car sounds great, feels great with what very little I have been able to drive it and looks very clean. Might even be a sleeper if it didn't souns like and F16 when it drives up.
I'm sure glad the weather looks good here for the next few days to get some good driving in, with the nice weather tonight I might have to take it over to some of the car meets to drive it around and have some fun. If anyone is up for it let me know, would love to hang out with some Z's tonight although I know alot of people are in Pueblo today and will be driving back tonight.

Brian, nice to talk with you last night. I wish I could have stayed for the entire session but the wife had plans so I had to get back to watch my boys. I can't wait to see your Z run at bandimere! Keep in touch and don't hesitate to give us a call if you have any questions or concerns. Kevin the videos look great. Awesome car with great sound. Jason

Man I'll tell ya, when I drove that SC in Kev's car.....I FRIGGIN loved the sound (not to mention the white knuckled speed.) It is so much different than
turbo. It's constantly blowing off til you give her some juice.
Can't wait til the next meet....TOMORROW?! (BEER?)

I do have some plans tomorrow night with some family, so for me that would be out.
We should meet up for some lunch or dinner & some beer on Sunday, maybe hang out for awhile. Not sure if anyone is up for that or not.
On a side note. Still can't get the smell of gas out of the car. It may have an exhaust leak, but maybe it's me. I also had the "service engine soon" light came up tonight, it won't go away. I'm not sure what that means if anything at all. It does run fine, but that light is staying on.
