Recommendation for adding a backup camera and screen

So I've had two 370Zs and am looking to get a used one this time around (granddaughter will use it to learn to drive too).

Yes there is, but unless this part was designed to fail so soon then it was sub-standard. That isn't hard to fathom...it was not designed to live so short of a life and so the one I had should not...

Nissan just called.

Two things.

One a bad fuel pump and a minor tear in a hose. Both being replaced under the power train warranty (didn't need the extended one in this case it sounded like).

It doesn't stay running long enough to see any codes but I am sure they have to be there. the air filters looked good. I didn't clean the MAF.

Doing a little research it seems like it might be:

First problem with my 2010

Car wouldn't keep running after it was started today. First problem in 60,000 miles or so. It idles REALLY rough for a couple seconds then dies. Thinking maybe cam timing sensor?

Anyway, I had to...

It is true that the Continental DW does not come in a 225/50/18 for the front but it does come in a 235/50/18 and I seriously doubt there would be any harm done by moving to that size.

I thought about that, but then again, there is always someone selling one of those and really, would most people care if the piping between the cat and the muffler was improved upon anyway?

Exhaust plan. Thoughts?

I will either purchase an Invidia Q300 or go custom this weekend...one or the other.

I know what I will be getting with the Invidia, but I'd like some feedback on the custom idea.

In any case it is probably on the intake side and you just never noticed it before you listened to your car in an...

Is it just sound you are after? If so, you can get something a lot less expensive than that.

That's a lot of dirt!

Just keep your filter clean and it will flow just fine and the dry ones do filter better if you are...

I just (as in an hour ago) installed the oil free AFE's. I like them and would suggest getting them.

Bought mine for $88 shipped (made an offer) from some company on eBay.

A million things could be at fault, but that is about as far from possible as you can get. That is assuming they put the right engine in, and if they think the block itself was...
