Travis nice. Just saw this. Those are the stock wheels on the later Z06 models.

Have them peek at the wheel speed sensors. One wonky one will cause those on those.

Congrats BTW. Debated one myself due to an actual useable hatch area, more so than the 350Z anyway and about 400 times more usable than the 370Z. Beautiful car. And that engine is something else all together, beautiful setup.

Exactly! Now imagine the intersection is an underpass and I get going just in time for that. I need to do the tolltag so I can go through Addison tunnel too...

Does anyone know if there is a way to clear out paired key fobs? Turns out that a key fob can be paired to more than one car...

3 weeks ago I replaced the Bank 1 exhaust camshaft position sensor due to SES light and bad idle. This week the 'G' died during rush hour on Dallas North Tollway (SES lights along with Slip, and VDC Light). I topped of the brake fluid since I was at the minimum line and got the code pulled. The code was P0340 - Bank 1 Intake camshaft position sensor. I have 5 sensors in total since I have a rev up engine. 4 sensors for camshaft and 1 sensor for crank shaft.

I picked up the parts from Nissan of Mckinney with my discount and had my mechanic throw them in. It sucked having to spend $540 on all 5 sensors and labor but being stranded on the road is much worse. Having to spend money on diagnostics, tow truck and paying full price at a random mechanic is not something I wanted to do. Nissan and Infiniti is notorious for faulty camshaft position sensors. I went ahead and bit the bullet on all 5 sensors at once to save on labor instead of doing them one by one every month.

Next I need to do AC belt, rotors, pads, stainless lines, transmission fluid, differential fluid and front shocks. Trying to do all that while buying a house is not something for the faint of heart.

Sucks that happened but I'm glad to hear you got her fixed up. Preemptive maintenance ftw! How've you been, Fez? Haven't seen you in ages!

Where the hell did everyone go?


I almost got hit by some buster on the track yesterday. No track etiquette or skill. He didn't even so much as look at me after we got off the track, even when I was discussing what happened right next to him. Eh, whatever, I feel like a ninja lol.

I wasn't really bothered by the near crash (since it didn't happen) but was a little annoyed he wasted my track time.

Technically you almost hit him. Nice ninja skills on avoiding that. You can see that his suspension couldn't handle the rumble strip that he really didn't need to use so much.
