Thumbs down Z died at Buttonwillow. Got fuel rail and throttle body

Hey guys, I was tracking my Z at buttonwillow, however, my fuel rail cracked and leaks fuel. My other friend's Z TPS took a crap. We are both from Nor Cal, and hopefully someone will have the fuel rail or throttle body available for sale here. I am at LA now, please let me know. Thanks in advance, any helps are greatly appreciated.

We have 04 Zs. thanks.

I hope you got your Z repaired but how the heck did your fuel rail crack. That's very weird!

yea but the CSC is a known weakpoint...i dont see how a FR could crack unless there was some kind of impact at the track...i mean whats stock FP on the z? ~38 psi? (im going completely off memory so i might be confused with something else but it def cant be more than that)...

"stock VQ fuel injector flows 328 cc at 100% duty cycle at 43.5 psi fuel pressure, 376 cc at 100% duty cycle at 58 psi fuel pressure and 412 cc at 100% duty cycle at 72.5 psi fuel pressure."

Close enough
