Fun to drive project

Whats up, my name is Jeremy and i live in Maryland. I bought my Z back in March of 2010 and have constantly worked on adding a little flair. Ive got a bodykit form Zele on the way soon, but im still pretty happy with what ive got. I love the Z cars, so much fun everytime you get behind the wheel.

Heres some details of the work: Engine was bored to accept oversized CP froged Pistons, Eagle rods, Stillen supercharger, Stillen testpipes and dual exhaust, Nissan S-Tune aero package, DBS rotors with Hawk brakes, Giovanna wheels.

Looks very good more pics! And after the Zele kit what's next?

That thing is a beast!

How much HP you making with everything?

coxjchollywoo · 06-29-2011, 08:33 AM

Thanks. Don't really know what's next after the Zele kit. Everything is pretty much done by Stillen including the tune. If they could get more out of it I may would go that route,but I'm pretty happy with what has been done already. I like the performance but still want some reliable drivability. I'll post my dyno sheets this weekend. But with the built engine I am seeing about 430rhp with 310lbs of torque. May not be the fastest thing out there but still a ton of fun.

You need the 9psi pulley and a custom tune... can easily get 450whp out of that setup.

Man that thing looks awesome! You need to start coming to our weekly Starbucks meets in VA/MD so we can see it in person. Every Saturday morning at 10 am we meet in either Fairfax, VA or Columbia, MD alternating every week. Come check it out some time

Here's a link to the meet thread

Ok here's the thing. I've had some issues with tunes before in the past. The first couple of tunes I had were from Stillen and I had a problem throwing a code for an o2 sensor. I forked out for a new sensor and it kept happening. Stillen sent me a new tune with the racepipes and exhaust and that fixed that problem. But now I get an idling code every now and then. The crazy thing is that the SES light will clear it self after a few startups. It's annoying to stare at that light but I have no issues in performance and when it clears I'm happy again. Lol. Anyone had this happen? I'm sure I can get a custom tune from my usuall shop but am nervous a little I guess because as long as everything is setup and operating from Stillen...if I have any issues the can never be any finger pointing should a problem arise. I've also been through three pulleys, each time the bearings seem to separate after only a few thousand miles and I get this clattering sound. Stillen has covered the part each time and sent a new one without any hesitation. But now I'm in need of another one and it started acting up two days after install. The latest one was supposedly redesigned after Stillen said the old ones weren't meeting their specifications. Any ideas as to how to resolve this issue as well? I don't want to have to keep replacing them every couple of months.

Oh! And I'm down for the Starbucks thing after the fourth of July. I'd enjoy that.
