Yeah we use Kinetix. We can adjust yours if you still need to.

what is going to suck is because the adjustment is on top trying to get them even....you have to jack it up, adjust, lower... and prob repeat at least 5 times. with yours one turn equals a percentage of a degree.

There are markings on yours if I remember correctly. It's probably not as hard as we originally thought. The Kinetix are convenient in the adjustment range though. .18 degrees per rotation.

Yes I did do that lower Plenum...but it has done it before that...a couple of times.

I also have the same Upper arms as Eric & Scott.....I like them a lot. Although with solid front bushings the car is very noisey.

When you get those springs off let me have first whack at them ok ?

There are ways to avoid a noisy suspension. The biggest culprit is the SPL solid compression arm bushings. If you don't want some clunking you sohuld avoid those. If things are creaking and squeaking that can be fixed with grease. My Kinetix arms were squeaking and I just lubed them up to solve that problem.

Most of the time when I hear a noise I just say... because racecar.

It usually did it in the hottest part of summer....but now in the cold weather, I'm not sure if the Temps have anything to do with it or not ?

I've checked all the connections & hoses...and can't seem to find anything out of place. I might just need to take the Throttle Body off and clean it like JaE35z has done.

Chris Pawk, where are you? I need to get you these midpipes before I leave town on the third.

I've been sick the past couple days with a virus but hopefully we can find time for me to give them to you.

Welcome to the forum Andypants....post up some pics of your Z when you can....even if it is stock.

There are meets and events thru-out the warmer months....but every now and then somebody gets an itch to try and get some people together.

Look into the TX Meet & Greet section...they will usually post up in there.

--------

As for your question....are you just wanting a "reflash " of the ECU or a "Tune" ? Because you can reflash the ECU yourself if you have a CEL on.
If you want the Tune then it will cost you at least $ 600. - Sorry.

I don't know...possibly....I guess I won't know about that or any of the other sensors until I just start replacing them all....and that is gonna get costly.

If it keeps on doing this then I will sell it !

Our cars don't have a dedicated IAT sensor if i'm not mistaken..it was to my understanding that temp was taken from the MAF? It was definitely my throttle body though..it's a beast WOT now, idle is flawless *knock on wood lol
