What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

abm89 · 07-22-2022, 09:25 PM

Got my skirts installed. they're alright i guess. way better than my stock ones as far as condition. Also installed my new secondary O2 sensors. I think we still need to re-adjust the 93-base for the FF map because im on E23 and it's RICH lol. Either way, no driving until i get the nail out of my 305.... im about to bill the HOA for this ****. people doing work and not cleaning up, smh.

abm89 · 07-24-2022, 10:33 AM

Update: The car auto-corrected the fuel trims once i drove it around more lol. Now im not used to the lack of response on 93 hahaha. Oh well. once every few tanks isn't too bad.

I think the Downstream O2 sensors fixed the CEL. so far, no DTC codes.

Replaced my old dirty Z1 filters with new ones and restored my headlights. Removing them really helped me do a better job than last time 2 years ago. Also it was the Meguiar's kit instead of the 3M one so maybe it'll stay clear longer this time.

abm89 · 07-24-2022, 02:19 PM

I recently used the Meguiars kit on my mom's Z. So far so good.

Do you know what your intake temps are? Do you still have the foam impact absorber in your bumper? I ordered a new one thinking it can isolate the intakes from the heat a little better.

Ben370 · 07-24-2022, 06:53 PM

Yeah I still have the foam impact absorber. Don't know the temps.

FWIW, all the foam impact absorber will do is reduce airflow to the intakes. If you want to isolate them from heat, get the Dewla DeZigns air intake scoop and put heat tape on the side facing the radiator.

Yeah I had to pull my driving lights too for it to work

abm89 · 07-26-2022, 10:31 PM

Ran some logs for Seb. Even though the fuel trims auto corrected, he wanted me to send some E24 logs to him. No CEL since replacing the downstream sensors. NGK/NTK is the correct brand for the secondary sensor if anyone wants to save money and not buy them from nissan.

abm89 · 08-03-2022, 02:52 PM

Inspection today. Cringed while the guy tried to pull in the car with the 6 puck clutch.

Passed while on E65 and all sensors enabled. Seb is the man!

Haha most places just ask me to pull it in. And it's only a stage 2 from Joe lol

Nice work

abm89 · 08-03-2022, 07:34 PM

Yeah, i really only trust the Winding Road guys with my car tbh lmao. but they dont do inspections.

Next up, install my NDF windshield banner because it is definitely going below the AS1 line a bit (hence why i got the inspection done beforehand. I dont know why they're so picky about that when people roll around with TINTED windshields)

I am also thinking of going back to the OEM hood and installing the vent louvers in the center.

Also designed some simple 3d printed TPU inserts to fix the hatch springs. Now only need to push the button once.
