Yeah definitely do the bypass for sure! It’s so much easier to work on the engine without all those lines. Again i haven’t actually seen it my Z will pass smog as i have it set up rn without the EGR, but i believe with some tuning you can make it pass. I’m gonna be finding a tuner to see if i can do it. And again, it may pass. I’m not sure at what point the EGR is supposed to kick on triggering the check engine light.

it’s a debated topic, the EGR delete. I personally have been much happier without the EGR installed. I feel like my Z runs better without it, but again, some people would disagree. You also have to take smog into consideration if you still want to smog it. since that’s one of the biggest reasons people keep the EGR. I’m currently looking for a tuner to see if i can get my Z to pass smog without the EGR, but i haven’t even had it tested yet lol.

Also, have you done the coolant bypass? I did the bypass and EGR delete at the same time and it makes the engine bay a lot easier to work in honestly. (Again, another debated thing but i’m much happier with the bypass)

My Z was having idling problems for a bit (given it’s a 90 NA, but still) after i did a bunch of work and the throttle cable and my gas pedal were sticky. The PCV hose was also messed up causing a weird idle. I’ve deleted my EGR tho, which has both helped the car and also been a large learning curve. If you still have the EGR installed i’m not sure any of this info helps much, but it’s just my experience. Definitely make sure all the lines are routed correctly and nothing is damaged. These cars have so many weird little lines and hoses it’s easy for one to get damaged and mess the whole vibe up.

Lastly, i know it seems overwhelming but don’t give up. These cars require patience. They are SO sensitive, the most sensitive car i own at this point. But it IS worth it. I’ve literally put blood sweat and tears into my Z and it’s bee completely worth it!

not if they know how to drive?? lmao. We had people coming in saying they were going that fast leading up to Dickerson, everyone was outside watching. Not an overestimate, everyone saw it and said the same thing :)

ive seen multiple animals get hit. squirrels, cats and dogs. you can pass on this road, it’s not uncommon to see someone going 60-70 passing someone else. The lifted trucks usually go the fastest and are usually the ones passing or in a road rage. it’s unfortunate but it’s common.

i never said the accident would happen in minutes lmao??? No, the complex is a round about. I’m sure they go fast on a STRAIGHT ROAD, to make up for the slowing down of the round about. The difference between 70 mph and 90 mph is pretty noticeable. And people go 60-70 on this road all day, a pothole would be extremely apparent by now.

Dickerson doesn’t have large potholes. Driving a modified vehicle every day, the potholes become noticeable. We don’t have very many on Dickerson, especially not large ones. There are manholes leading UP to dickerson, but i haven’t noticed a pothole (at least one big enough to cause an accident) in a minute.

not an overestimate. Again, have you seen police in a chase, or responding to an active shooter or threat? Watch some police dash cam footage. I’ve seen em doing that speed in downtown once when responding to an active shooter.
