From BumbleZ to MaroonZ

I am back ladies. So after 8 years of selling my previous Z I finally got a hold of another one. This time a temperamental 2010 Z Sport Touring Edition (hate the center console) but it was the only one in the area at a good price, almost stock, manual for $15k.

Anyways, I said temperamental because my first problem was the Airbag flashing because of the passenger seat sensor which of course being new to this type of error I made the mistake of going to the "stealership" and of course they literally told me I have to buy a new car, need to replace the sensor, the seat, the harness, the module, etc, going over $10k. so Of course my answer was

I end up fixing the problem with a 360airbag box to trick the computer that someone is always there.

Now my other problem that came the other day after driving the car for over a month is the Check Engine with Error Codes for the VVEL which I found quite some information here. At the end I think I found the problem and it seems to be the VVEL Relay. Waiting on the replacement.

Then my driver window doesn't seal completly, yes it does the function of up and down normally when you open and close the door, but the glass seems to be short because it doesn't go all the way behind the edge of the frame. The glass seems to be aftermarket so I don't know if is the glass, the actuator or the motor.

So I am going nuts with this new toy but enjoying it lol.

Glad to be back.

Twin Turbo, of course, always want it but with this car I need to make sure is ready for the push and the previous owner didn't do anything weird to it, so far I have quite few problems with it but I don't know if that is normal for a 2010 vehicle.

But yes there is a list lol
- Oil Cooler
- Exhaust
- Coils
- N/A Tuning
- Turbo

Ok so to continue on this project, I already started to work on the engine maintenance (tantrum). So far I need to fix the following problems and based on the information I found here is what direct me to do what I want to do. So first the problems:

- VVEL Error Code P1606 and U1024
- Error Codes P0300 and P0305

So what I am planning to do is:
- Changed Coils
- Changed Cam Sensors
- Have check and cleaned Injectors and replace those that are defective
- Spark Plugs are already changed - NEW

My last doubt is to go ahead and change the VVEL Control Module. Since I have the engine bay dismantled, I don't know if I should change it already, since I read here that sometimes changing the module won't fix the P0300 or VVEL error Codes.

Also does anyone by any chance have the stock oem air intake for left and right? The previous owner installed cheap short intakes and I want to put the oem ones.

I had to shut down my FS thread cause I'm too damn busy lol

But yeah I've got a set. They are actually Mr. Onzedge's. I can throw in a pair of R2C dry panel filters (new in box) if needed as well.

Ahhh! Thank you, but too late, I found a local shop that have 370 parts, I purchased from them. But I am sure I will need more stuff, since I am doing some reverse on this car to see if any of those hissy fit problems go away.
