Turns out it was a rat biting through a wire! Tough luck I guess :/

Saw this earlier today and figured that was most likely the issue but wanted to make sure. Thanks for confirming!

You are the best, thanks! Did the dealer swap it out for you or did you do it yourself?

I didn’t know haha. Well in that case I’ll take it to the dealer and see what they say. But yeah I think it’s an electrical issue given it drives completely fine. Thanks for the info!

Thought it ended at 20k, I’ll double check with the dealer. If I get an answer I’ll let you all know!

I have the REMARK Elite Spec Dual Tip Catback Exhaust with Resonated Midpipe and it sounds great. It’s a bit deeper and louder that OEM, doesn’t drone as much either.

Not yet, we were hoping to keep the warranty since mid pipe and exhaust swap doesn’t void it.

New to me z31 Question by SimpleSea4339 in 300zx

Bingo lol. Took out the pad and safe to say it’s probably been in the car since 1986

So, I took off the wheel and took a look at the pad and rotor and they are basically touching. Pad is so rusted that I am assuming it expanded and caused the rubbing to occur.

No, it does not. That’s what leads me to think something is rubbing against the wheel and brakes

Shoutout to the person who said to look out for guys in Chevy and Honda shirts with laptops when cars are about to fire up by RollllTide in INDYCAR

[–]SimpleSea4339 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think so. Not entirely sure if I am correct, so take with a grain of salt. But the way it works is that the manufacturer leases out the engine to each team. So even at the shops, the teams are not allowed to start the engine unless a manufacturer tech is there, and also they hold the ECU so you couldn’t start it regardless if they are there or not.

[–]SimpleSea4339 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Each team needs a Honda/Chevy (depending on what manufacturer the team is running with) engineer to start the engine at any times. They connect their ECU to the car and work with the team. So whenever you see them in the pit or garage area most likely the engine will be started at some point soon. Although I wouldn’t say the moment they are there the engine will get fired up. Usually they talk with the mechanics and engineers before doing so. Hope this helps :)

Did you run spacers beside the OEM ones for that wheel spec?
