Hey Denver Z owners. I have a set of base 18" 370z rims with Yokohama tires for sale. They are in excellent condition with only about 3000miles and no curbing, etc. Would make a great set of winter wheels! Will let go for $800 and meet you half way for pickup. i will post pictures.

I obviously plan to drive over the continental divide and do devils gultch (steep switchbacks between estes and glenhaven).

I was just curious if the Denver area guys had any recommendations in the area.

I'm excited to do some driving cause normally we go 4x4'ing here in this area but not really looking for great paved roads.

Thanks guys!

The road up to wild bills grave from golden is great also the road up to kitridge park from red rocks is pretty nice.

In Colorado at what point will I fail emissions:

1 - Fast Intentions RHFC + resonated CBE + Uprev tune
2 - Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers + resonated CBE + Uprev tune
3 - Fast Intentions Test Pipes + resonated CBE + Stillen Supercharger + Uprev tune
4 - Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers + resonated CBE + Stillen Supercharger + Uprev tune

Is this question unanswerable? (Please let the answer be 2 and above).

You should look into ecutek for a tuning option! I just sent my first log to Sebastian at Specialty Z, I will let you know what I think of it when I am finished!

That is great! I am going with option 1 here in about a month, so I will have time to think about what I will need to do if I go with a supercharger. Do people usually install the stock or aftermarket catalytic converters when they go for emissions if they are boosted, and then add the test pipes in the meantime?

The reason why I am going with Uprev is my close, local shop (MAC Autosports in Parker) is an Uprev authorized dealer/tuner. They have done great work so far, so they have earned my trust to keep my Z running well. I will ask them about Ecutek though since it seems to be a new option for the Z34.

I passed Emisions (Jeffco) with Berk HFCs installed. I'm hoping to pass this year with my test pipes using the "drive by" onramp sensors but we'll see. (Maybe I can idle by the test van).

Don't bother Mr Bill does not like them at all. I remember him telling me about the lack of updates and features UPREV has. Although the new update might change his mind.

Since you said Colorado, I think Denver area is the only one still doing exhaust checks. I know El Paso county doesn't.

When I did mine, it didn't seem like it was a very extensive test. I think I was there a total of 5 minutes.

[SurfDog]

in Denver and Jeffco they run you up a dyno for exhaust gasses, check your o2 sensors via OBD2 port and check your gas system with the little gas cap suction thingie (or is it pressure).

However if you drive by the on ramp truck with the sensors out next to them three times with low enough visible emissions (as seen by the sensors by the truck) you will not need to get an inspection.

(I think you have to pass the first year to get registered with a plate but can pass the trucks after that first registration year because the truck scans your plate when you zip by...hopefully with your foot off the gas)

My twin FI setup passed with no issues. Cobb tune, injectors, exhaust the whole deal. That is once they figured out how to get my Z to hold revs on their machine. ;-) Nothing wrong with the car, just went through a couple rookies scared to break it.

I meant to say the opposite of what I said

Anyone here with an oil cooler have an oil pressure gauge installed? I want the Stillen Oil cooler but would like to know my pressure... Thanks
