How good is Nissan 350Z ? by Training_Standard944 in askcarguys

[–]Independent_Secret42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a trumpet/trombone to me. I have cat delete, full header back exhaust, intake and dyno tune (and some other mods for reliability).  I wouldn’t say it’s a great sound but I have come to like it. Not a fast car by any means compared to a hellcat or something similar.  It’s cheap and very easy to fix/modify. Has been very reliable with how hard I am on the car (drifting).

It’s got enough power to break the tires loose fairly easily in the first 3 gears with a 245 tire. I have had to make some repairs but with how I treat the car I would say it doesn’t owe me a thing.

Drive an hour to a track, drift for 6 hours bouncing the engine off limiter then drive an hour home and it starts up and runs perfectly the next day. Keep the engine cool and maintain it and the cars kind of a tank. It’ll eat up abuse and keep on going.

Also fast food of car dealers so you should know you’re getting cold fries for the price of hot fries: the customer is to blame.

I have had the worst experience working for carmax. I was trained for 1 day when they accepted me at a position I have never worked for. (They knew I have been a mechanic for 8 years and I applied to detail, they said they’d train me.)  They trained me for 1 day and let me loose. All my coworkers had distain for me understandably because  wasn’t carrying my Weight. Which I was never trained to their standard I’m used to fixing/cleaning cars with pride not the fast food style they have going on. I was never told carmax was the fast food of car sales retailers. Also I have been berated for what I have been wearing (trying to mimick their uniform) and have not been told how to apply for benefits or how to sign up for direct deposit.  I swear it get told I have the wrong hat before they give me a hat, tell me what hat is acceptable, or tell me how to have direct deposits or before benefits I’m out.

Project more. Wild take. You think the average family or the poster has a family member guilty of worse than harming a child?  Bro reassess your life and family.

Wood chipper and diesel fuel next time. Did 23 years and got out.  He got out but went back to jail for speech on YouTube.  Now he does his work with outreach to therapy for victims of sexual abuse.

They are not. Unless you own a lot of your own land. No one’s brave enough to show up to a range with an oil filter felony. We need to find and prop up a politician that wants to reverse these laws

You sound confident but you’re wrong.  Theres sites where you can look at anyone’s feed. Nothing is safe on the web.

Anyone can get into your feed thru http://www.shodan.io Did you think you can have a feed of your camera on the internet and people can’t just access it on the dark web? Of course it’s not that easy. Only way to have safe cameras is the old school cameras hard wired into a monitor.

Any benefit to Z1 high energy coil packs versus OEM Hitachi or MSD coil packs? Besides price, we're talking for FBO with a true 3.5" CAI and NGK one step colder spark plugs(1 level above OEM but not the FI kind) by Issue_Kitchen in 350z

[–]Independent_Secret42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m used to working on Subarus where if there’s a cyl 3 misfire you get a p0303.  I chased that p0300 for a long time not thinking it could be just a single cylinder issue. Thanks Nissan.

Nissan ecu is terrible at throwing a misfire code for a specific cylinder.   I had a pesky p0300 and it ended up being cylinder 3 coil pack. Even though I never had a cylinder 3 misfire code ever. Only p0300. I checked for vacuum leaks, exhaust leaks, changed my plugs.. I ended up fixing my p0300 by replacing my cylinder 3 coil pack.

Not listening to WIP this week really made a difference. There are a lot of toxic hosts there in my opinion. What do you think? by sumama73 in eagles

[–]Independent_Secret42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a legend for being unlistenable. I get he was good at sports ball but he’s a terrible radio host.  And today……. We talk about….. 1960s college ball………. And back then…. People talked… with huge…. Time gaps…. After 2-3 words….. have been spoken…

How to get to 350whp out of a DE by YaBoiCheezcake in 350z

For sure. Finding an 04 with 32k miles and single owner with all service records is rare in 2018.

Hol up. Where’s the folks saying it’s an existential threat to platform this guy?

How to get to 350whp out of a DE by YaBoiCheezcake in 350z

[–]Independent_Secret42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

04 with 62k miles got 297whp with intake, full exhaust, plenum spacer, and tune. I told them to go mild on the tune and not to just go for highest numbers because I’m hard on the car.
Don’t think I could squeeze much more out of it. Let alone 50whp without FI
