You know, I wish Cobb still made post MAF tubes for our Zs.

. I wonder why they stopped making them?

They decided not to make any parts for FI vehicles. They chose to 100% dedicate themselves to FI. It sucks for me because COBB is 30min away from me in Plano Tx. Now I have no tuner for at least 4 hours from me.

ya cobb really let the auto Z community down by going strictly FI... i get the fact that they are about 10x easier to make power out of, bu they should have taken into account that there are probably 100 Z's to every 1 GTR on the road...

cobb could probably have doubled its profits by sticking with the z's. sure, the margins would be smaller from the R&D it takes to pump power out of NA motors, but they would probably outsell GTR tune's 10 to 1... c'mon cobb, you gotta have more business sense than that...IMHO that is a good way to get a company going in the wrong direction.

I'm sure i can speak for many people in here when i say that if cobb were still available for our cars i would be picking on up over an uprev....

Not sure if you would call it a mod but its still a good idea to do is to get and it doesn't break the bank! Most people over look it but get a magnetic oil pan drain bolt and a filter magnet....Bougut mine over the winter just waiting to put them in when the car comes out of storage and get the first oil change in!

happytheman · 01-17-2012, 06:47 AM

Yes! That's a fantastic and cheap mod!

Cool stuff, you modders must have a lot of time on your hands for all this mod stuff, I wish I did too.....I barely have time to wipe every day, sometimes I don't.

Niztalgic · 01-17-2012, 07:08 PM

My '78 280z has this mod. Quick drain drain plug. It was on there when I bought 7 yrs ago. Makes oil changes a snap.

Ewwww. Just use a wet microfiber cloth!

I know that some people here have them from V-LEDS.COM | LED Dome, Map, License Plate, Reverse, DRL, Turn Signal, Brake Lights , and from personal experience, I can say the bulbs are quite resilient. I have had the same pair of 194 5-way led bulb on my cars for 2 years now with no issues. They are a little more pricey than some other websites, but definitely worth it.
