There's plenty of things you can do. A single LED strip down the sidemarker is fairly simple. The expense comes in with the labor and painting.

my suspension is SO MUCH stiffer than his KW's.. props on your recent times at the races bud...looks like scott and fith have some comp..
Always a pleasure meeting up with you, Jake.

Yeah, I was in Chicago when you did all your mods. Our suspensions are definitely set up for different purposes. I could stiffen mine up but I like the plush ride. I wouldn't be surprised if mine was one of the softest out of all the Zs around.

I would love to have my lights done also...but I have heard of terrible stories of the seal being broken and not ever getting back to normal...then there is condensation inside the headlamp.

hey guys! it's been a long while since i have posted anything here. anyway, i am having some troubles with my car. i have had a huge handful of people give me different responses so i wanted to get an opinion here.

on occasion (but often enough to be considered an issue) my car has trouble starting. it turns over, and almost starts but dies. tonight i finally get it started and i am just sitting in neutral and it stalls. i also have had it happen while i am driving. i put it in neutral to come to a stop and it dies. when it acts up like this, there's another symptom. i may be coming to a stop to make a turn. i put it in neutral and brake then put the clutch in and put it in second. before releasing the clutch or giving it any gas the rpm's jump.

anyway, any ideas as to what's going on would be helpful. thanks guys

Sounds like the throttle body....how many miles do you have on it ?

Have you changed the plugs on it lately ?

My Z had some issues with it stuttering and not being able to idle....but I have an auto and if I just blip the gas it would be ok....but seem to have an issue getting going until the rpm's were like 3k....but then at the next light it would do the same thing.

I have an UpRev Tune and sometimes the AFR gets out of wack...but in your case it could just be a vacuum hose also.

Also, was your Z always Blue ?

I'm almost willing to donate wheel spacers.

It could be a charging problem. I had a bad alternator on my old car and the symptoms were the same as what you're describing. I think I had to replace alternator and battery. Vatozone will check for free.
