Now Emo, that's typing a little too fast! Haha, but glad to know you two are working things out before I have to go.
I hope it won't be another two weeks before I'll find time to visit ZDriver again...
But before I go...Z31 rules both the Z32's and Z33!!! Mwahahahahahahaha....I'm out....later!

Most of the Z32s in my area are driven by youngsters.
There's two guys at my office that drive Z32s, that are 19 and 21 I think. They put stickers all over em and slapped those big coffee can tips on em, so they sound like a Honda Civic.
Kind of like vandalism if ya ask me.
I park way in the back of the parking lot...alone, and it never fails....they always park right next to me!
Plus...I live near Ft. Hood, the biggest military base in the U.S...and 300ZXs are dime-a-dozen out here.
Another reason I like driving a 350Z around here.
"Hey man...what kind of Porsche is that?"

See, its the opposite here in CA, EVERYONE has a z33, but they're all middleaged. 300's are scarce. there are a few that I've seen riced out and it's horrible! I can't stand to see a riced out Z. It makes sense for you to like your 350 more b/c you stand out. As for the two at your office....they're NAs aren't they?

Plus, to make matters worse...he has a banner in big white letters across his windshield that says "One Tight Z"
...ugh.

You have to represent for those poor lost children! show them what a CLEAN Z is. heck, help him identify what a rod is after it comes shooting out of his thug life motor b/c he was thumping and revving and not watching the tach and it hit 12K b/c he removed the rev limiter completely.

What's with the scary stories?
Halloween's past and you're unrelenting here.
First with the coffee can mufflers, now the windshield stickers! Oh Lord! When will it stop? When will it stop!?! I am NOT going to sleep well tonight. Nightmares, nightmares, nightmares. I can tell now for sure.

yes, the stock one is at 7000 and if you have the jwt ecu (like me), then it's 7200. Not a big difference really, but gives you end up hitting the rev limiter less b/c you have that red line to aim at and it's ok if you overshoot 200 rpm.

Yeah, well...I regret to say it, but...I lost a drag race to a Mustang GT because of the damn rev limiter (6800).
It was my first race in the Z33, right after break-in, and I did not even think about it. I had him by a car length and a half until I bounced off the rev limiter in 2nd. What an awful noise.
Not to mention the embarassment of being passed by a Rustang!
Never heard the end of that one!

Yea, Rizz, I agree, I do believe that the Ash ecu is better mapped and is simply better. I have a jwt ecu, but that's what my car came with and it works fine for me. no need to sell it.
