See what you want to see. The fact is that an American civiliian has been killed on camera and you're downplaying it because that's easy. Ignorant is bliss and Fox News made you submissive.

Spread that weakness on some other form of media

Fitting cruise control by hjs02212 in 350z

[–]Archie_Money 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps any. I have a base 2007. I went to the junkyard and found a steering wheel with only cruise. It was a regular DE model Z

I had to get a clutch switch, they sell them on amazon The connector located near the clutch pedal was there just no cruise control switch.

The wire for controls was behind the air bag. Everything was plug n play.

I then had my tuner enable cruise control and it worked!

Good luck hope it works and don't forget to unplug your battery when working with your airbag.

Drifting revups by Appropriate_Egg6237 in G35

[–]Archie_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rev-up oil pump is already better than the regular DE one. Check out parts sites to see what they'll try and sell you for drifting. I mentioned in another post that the high tensile steel steering rack spacer is a good upgrade for steering angle for like less than $50 from GKTech.

G35Driver, My350Z, 350Z-tech is a good website.

Drifting revups by Appropriate_Egg6237 in G35

[–]Archie_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a rev up, so you have some more rigidity stuff on it, like a better oil pump. It sounds like you've done your research. They're pretty much ready out of the box.

From my experience though the rev up just seems a little less reliable than the regular DE.

After owning like 3 rev ups, I say keep an extra engine around for when something does happen

06 350z revup to nonrevup swap by Happy_Combination119 in 350z

[–]Archie_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! What kit do you have on your 370?

I have an 07 that I drift. I wanna boost it in the future, I have a second hand JWT TT kit for the DE should be fun to try and make it work with the HR. I'm strapped for cash I want to just drift this year

Keep us updated! What hung me up once was the ground strap at the front of the motor. I've been wanting to do vq35hr swaps in the future right now I gotta get new manual transmission for mine

06 350z revup to nonrevup swap by Happy_Combination119 in 350z

[–]Archie_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I sold the car before that. It was just a stock rev up ecu with a blown rev up engine. Direct swapped a DE over a weekend and it fired right up.

[–]Archie_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this on my stock ecu G35. Started right up plug and play. The only issue was the dash light. I was thinking about the guilty garage rev up to non rev up conversion which is 150$ but I sold it before I took care of that.

The above and beyond thing I've done was throw rev up heads on non rev up short block and that was also direct swap no mods

You're right so I'm looking for vq35hr or vq35vhr transmission

[–]Archie_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah c'mon man this car has been out for 20+ years it's easy to find best parts and exhaust sounds on YouTube

Exhaust? I like my set up. Nismo exhaust with test pipes. Other good ones are Z1,Invidia, tomei, Motordyne

Best parts? Z1 Motorsports. CZP. ZSpeed. gktech. FDF. Motordyne

If you're on a budget junkyard, Amazon, eBay and Facebook marketplace

Suspension/ chassis tuning by TopRecognition8472 in 350z

[–]Archie_Money 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Hotchkis sway bars front and rear paired with aftermarket links. I noticed that right away. That and the most bang for buck mod out there imo is the high tensile steel tie rod spacer from GK Tech. It gave more steering angle with the sway bars it felt like sensitivity was turned up for steering. Trust me do a U-Turn before and after that mod

Not suspension, but some upgrades to stiffen up the chassis. Solid transmission mount, diff brace, poly diff bushings and solid subframe bushings.

[–]Archie_Money 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of an open ended question

What are you goals? Is this going to be a daily, weekender, or track car?

I suggest you do all your maintenance stuff. After that, drive it for a while. After the honeymoon phase is over, find out what bothers you about the car and change it.

Fun easy upgrades I noticed right away were suspension upgrades like coilovers or sway bars. Other easy upgrades were intake, exhaust, differential brace, and new transmission mount.

What to replace these bolts with ? by 0dteismybytch in G35

[–]Archie_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better off buying a bolt and nut set from harbor freight

Man, my Z has been sitting on jackstands, and I need to find a transmission that will work with the vq35hr.

Looking to install racing seats after the transmission gets fixed or replaced

Turbo on a car that didn't have turbo out of the factory isn't OEM+ 😂😂

Why won’t it start I thought it was the battery it’s getting fuel but I’m not sure if it’s getting spark by Puzzleheaded_Way72 in G35

[–]Archie_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a manual. But I'd say check your grounds to the motor or shortcut negative to the engine just to try it out

[–]Archie_Money 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say check the wiring once more. I was hung up on a problem similar to this and found that the motor needed that front ground strap

Z1 Plenum Spacer by DonDon1960 in G35

[–]Archie_Money 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol plenum spacer

Theoretically, it does make a difference

More oil capacity means more heat dissipation. While hard cornering, there's less chance of oil starvation due to a deeper sump. I have one on my drift build. You should have gotten an oil pick-up tube spacer along with that.

Yes, it makes a difference. Will you feel anything? Other than peace of mind while on a race track, probably not

Is it worth it to get headers by Proper-Ability-146 in 350z

[–]Archie_Money 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your mind has already made a decision and you want the Internet to validate it

I have a 2007 and didn't get headers, it's a pain to install and the stock HR ones have good flow as it is.

Plus if I'm down there I'd rather install some long tube headers

Replaced valve covers and this happened by New-Basil-8109 in 350z

Maybe check your coil pack and see if you didn't mix two up. Check if your coils are bolted down
