I sure had a great time meeting everyone in person. Maybe we could set up another meet in two weeks. I'll be at the Japanse Classic Car Show in Long Beach next Saturday. Come on down if you're ready to check out your Z's grandfather and great grandfather. Last year's show was great.

You're no longer stock!!!! You're also the first totally stock Z or G with this mod and I'm very interested in how it performs over time--since early ECU's tend to take time to adapt. Also, as mentioned, the TB Spacer seems to work better with high flow aftermarket intakes, spacers, plenums or modified lower collectors as well as exhausts. There's nowhere to go but up!

DaveO, Thanks for the Throttle Body Spacer! Honestly I can feel it pull harder. Not joking around. I would love to get it dyno'd and see what the result is before and after. DaveO the check will be in the mail tomorrow!

Dave, now just engineer a nice exhaust please, Dont worry about testing it, just give me one and I cant test it all you want!!!

Great meet!!

Richard, AWESOME CAR! Loved all your stuff, it was tastefully done, Your body kit is off the hook.

TB spacer is worth the money for sure...I gained 12.2 or so at peak

Results may vary lol

Solid first mod for sure though, everyone should have one

VtotheZ,

Thanks for the feedback Ryan.

It was really great to meet everyone in person, check out the Zs and to talk with other car guys. I agree that Richard's Greddy TT Z is indeed nice. You should have gone for a ride. Even at 7 pounds Greddy TT Zs pull hard.

As for the Throttle Body Spacer, in retrospect, we probably should have done an ECU resetwhile installing it. The early ECUs are slow to adapt.

Dynoing your Z might be interesting. The dyno chart I showed you was from a 6MT 350Z with only a JWT Popcharger. Sound familiar? That Z showed about 8.5hp and 5lb-ft torque. You results may vary however.


orangeflash,

Has your Z seemed to perk up a litte more?


Richard,

Have you been able to contact Darren?


finalforce,

I only know of one place in Victorville that does clear bras. It's Ultimate Tint & Wheel. He's located on the east side of the Target Store at Palmdale and Amargosa.

Calico is a cool place to go. Went there about two years ago at night. If I wasn't on vacation I'd hit this up with you guys.
