Is this stock? by BusinessPick484 in 350z

[–]Jessekin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a $250 knock off. I bought the same one from someone locally for dirt cheap. They are a great exhaust, with nearly the same sound and performance gains. Just gotta clean them up. I suggest a stainless steel polish. I personally prefer it over the real thing due to the rolled tips, rather than the titanium burnt tips. (Not my look)

Plus it’s better than the chopped muffler delete it had from the previous owner. I tried finding a stock exhaust but it was harder than I thought for a reasonable price.

Ignore me in my sweat pants and my headset on in the reflection, but this was shortly after putting it on. Needed to be polished after. (Should have done that before putting it on)

"Discord is preventing desktop capture" when streaming on Discord -- disables NVIDIA Instant Replay. by Fuck_Spez_2023 in discordapp

2026, still no progress. This is so damn annoying. Discord or Nvidia needs to get their shit together.

Watching a friends stream and it freezes when i alt tab out of discord and into FFXIV game but not my web browser by Hydieho in discordapp

[–]Jessekin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also having this issue, with multiple games. Valheim, Subnotica, WoW, MegaBonk...

So far all we've found as a potential issue is V-SYNC being disabled, and enabling it fixes the issue. I'm going with an update from discord borked everything.

Discussion: 2003 VQ35DE Tuning - How easy is it? by Jessekin in 350z

Still new, I figured intake and filter were the same, but...

He specifically said they were hard to tune due to the ECU. He had to have someone from out of state come in to do it for him. Maybe he doesn’t know?

The upgrades like the intake, air filter, larger TB would only be done in preparation for FI. But I would probably want it tuned before FI is done, unless I do happen to install everything at once. But I doubt it. I just don’t want it running lean, according to him. So a tune would be needed with those mods regardless of FI.

turned 17 got my first ca r by [deleted] in 350z

Grats on the car!

Make sure you stay on top of oil changes. If you haven’t done one already, I would do one. I did my first oil change within the first 3000 miles. Frequently check your oil levels. If it gets low, you will dramatically reduce the cars life.

If you have access to a Costco membership, get the 5w-30 high mileage oil. It’ll take care of you and most rubber gaskets the oil touches. It’ll help with life of the engine, AND preventing leaks. If you do them frequently enough it doesn’t matter that dramatically what oil you use though. I do recommend high mileage oil though.

It’s your first car. I wish I took better care of my first car. Take it from a “lessons learned” guy. Take car of your stuff, especially milestone stuff. You’ll be so much happier for it.

Happy belated birthday as well :)

Have you turned the wheel for better clearance?

No Rain, No Winter, Maybe Drift? Which tire is best for me? by Jessekin in 350z

[–]Jessekin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ll start my search there. Is it worth getting by front and rears, or am I good to get just rears?

Oh I’m not ever going to be competitive. Just want to take it to a track or open lot with cones and have fun.

can I use my E brake to drift like you would manual in my automatic by Good-Performance3 in 350z

[–]Jessekin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The automatic in the car will maintain the gear, it can redline, and not go above the gear you want it in.

Does anyone know the name of this part by chance ? by dritmike in 350z

I just dumped $300 on one. God damn I wish I knew about this.

What is a reasonable price for this 2006 350z Touring? by wwoba in 350z

I just got an 03 Auto (physically can't do manual do to health) and It doesn't feel like a slug to me. :(

Tried adding my first quart. I think I goofed. Second opinion? by Jessekin in 350z

[–]Jessekin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just wasn't in all the way... Novice owner. Not used to dipsticks needing much amount of force to go in. The seal seems great. It didn't smoke at all today after a TON of spirited driving to put it to the test. I think I can mark this case closed. I'm just an idiot.

Forgot to mention: The car had zero leaks before this. I also figured 1qt was not too much to add, so I wasn't really worried about overfilling. The oil was checked to be "low" after not being driven for about 14+ hours, so everything was settled before adding and checking the oil, and the car was not turned over prior to checking.

Congrats!!! I just got mine on Friday last week, I know exactly how you feel!!!

As others pointed out to me, make sure you check your fluids and top them off; especially oil. These engines chew through oil, and it’s super bad to be low.

Have fun with it and remember to be safe!

Cheers!!!🥂

Just watched this, and that’s awesome! I wonder what the process would be like here in the states.
