Hey Chad, save a horse ride a cowboy.

 

i already did. i need to go get in the shower.




it is actually not bad here, but i just don't like being away from SD anymore.

 

You said it sailor....bring me back a nice pink cowboy hat will you....

 

Hey did you guys know theres no Speed Limit during the day in Montana?

 

I was driving down the 163S, I downshifted to 5th, sped to about 95, and then dropped the car into neutral to coast down the long hill near Friar's Rd. Then I noticed the Check Engine/ Brake lights turned on. I was like, WTF?
I put in the clutch and shifted into 6th and then everything was normal, so I'm assuming the engine stalled and then re-started.

Everything's fine after that incident, don't notice any performance drop or anything. Did I mess up my engine at all? Your opinions are appreciated....


(Yes, I'm an idiot, I already know this)

 

There have been others who have experienced this when shifting from a high gear/speed into neutral. Theres nothing wrong with your car....but leave it in a gear while you're moving ok...

 

oh sweet, what a relief that is! Yeah, I think I learned a lesson there. Scared the crap out of me for a second.

 

and while I'm at it, I'll do the deuce.....400 posts suckers!!!

 

can anyone swap pumpkins here, as in the gears. I have an auto G 3.2 FD with lsd i'm about to swap to the 3.5 FD with lsd? I herad that swapping the pumpkins is a pretty easy task. Also does mileage really effect the gears.

 

PM protocav.... he might be able to handle that for you...

 

what up fellow san diegans. Just moved apartments from Clairemont to Fashion Valley and kinda want to get back into the z scene down here (schools finally out for the summer). Do you guys still meet up at Kmart or whatever? Any other meeting places/times u guys go to? I live in the Villa Dorado arpartments across from Costco...

 

a few pics...(you guys form 350zmotoring might recognize them)

 

anybody local got some stock cats they wanna sell?

 

only if you got aftermarkets for trade

 

actually, i'm thinking of making them hf by removing one of the honeycombs. way cheaper, higher flow, looks stock.

 

denchan, where are you? i sent you pix of your g on the fwy which i know you rec'd, but never got the ones you took of my z, not even a thank you. at the very least, i hope you're ok.

 

what do you guys think of the following statement:

Most power...

If you leave your cats alone... and do headers / plenum etc... you will gain more HP... ECU reflash doesnt allways fix everything..."

 

Aren't you supercharging your car?

Leave the cats and the plenum alone and be happy with the safe setup HKS will provide. Your car is gonna be faster than 99% of Zs on the road

 

I agree. Leave the cats be. So far people are losing boost on the SC kits when they remove the cats. This is true of Vortech, Stillen, etc. The HKS is tuned for the out of the box amount of boost. As a matter of fact I think they even recommend you leave it stock minus exhaust with their kit for the best power. And Jim it is more like 98 % when Greg's Tnetics Z is done and you and Chad get off your rockers and buy some F/I.

 

interesting. thanx for your input guys. this is my first venture into fi, so i'm a total noob about this, hence my choice of moderate vs extreme-power fi, but from what i've read, isn't flow really important with fi? you're right, playa, hks says their stock sc kit will be lean with a/m breathing mods, but ts is saying they can install and tune my hks kit with breathing mods for more hp than outa the box, so i've kept my crawford headers and ypipe and was thinking about adding some hfc and a 1/4" plenum. i guess i'll be the first i know of to try this with the hks kit.
ps: actually, hks want you to buy their $1400 vpro in order to tune for more hp with a/m mods. maybe ts can accomplish this without it?
