As promised, better resolution pic of my baseline dyno. 2012 Nismo, 93 octane, was about 75-78 degrees outside and sunny.

It still seems high to me (shocked/surprised more than anything) but I have no reason to believe the shop would try to pump up my numbers on a baseline pull, if anything I'd think they'd try to dial them down so that they could try to sell me Thing 1 to replace Thing 2.

When he did the first pull that produced 297hp he came up front to ask if I had mod'd it any (it's a base Nismo) he got this surprised look on his face.

I'm just happy I got such a nice platform to build on.

best to complain to the office manager and tell them wat's going on. unless someone says anything no one gives a damn.

I had a lawn crew that did that ONCE to my car. One call and not one of those guys showed up again. Worth a call to the management. The guys here now SCREAM at the new guy standing by my garage with the leaf blower to move his *** outta the way when I am waiting for the garage door to open.

I am a very passive person but sometime you gotta do what you gotta do lol.

I *LOST* to a mitsubishi eclipse last night cause I didn't do 90+ in the S curve

Sometimes I really wish I knew we were racing before they would throw on their hazard lights...on second thought, not really, gas is too expensive to waste on a$$hats trying to prove something. I drive 23 miles to work and back and I have marked so many cops on WAZE app that were on an on-ramp shooting peoples rears...

I got my windows tinted with 35% Llumar all around. The car is in desperate need of a bath which will happen this weekend!

Waiz · 10-10-2013, 03:13 PM

Got home and took the Z for a trip to the market using the long way since I hadn't driven her since Saturday.

Even though it rained most of yesterday and the night before I was happy to see my cover was able to keep her clean and dry

After major debating on what brand to buy, I settled on Z1 spacers. 20mm all around and fairly priced at $184 shipped.

Sunken wheel look started irritating me.

Now the worst part about ordering something...the anticipation of delivery.

dAvenue · 10-10-2013, 03:53 PM

Speaking of delivery, I received kellyefield's hood struts today. #wutwut

Sounds like you won by not racing.

What is the hazzard light story? I don't know of this.

Shadezz · 10-10-2013, 07:20 PM

Designed a new start-up / screen saver for the cockpit.
Wish Nissan would have made this version right from the Factory....they didn't so I did!!
Black Edition (Fits my style & theme like GTR editions)
S-tuned (Nissan OEM Nismo S-tune front lip, sides & rear spats fitted)
+ a few other adds...

Wouldn't get anyone here. People on on-ramps around here never get over 40 mph until they're about 5 feet from the end of it.

Goo gone works really well. Just try to keep from rubbing paint to much.
