I smell a tech session coming on...

So I rummaged through my stockpile and found some cool N/A mods from my Z that I can throw on the G35. I am also probably going to be getting some coilovers or shocks/springs soon. Heres the list of stuff I have now.

- UR Crank Pulley
- Kinetix Racing Resonated Test Pipes (maybe)
- Strup Performance Headers (maybe)

I am still undecided on the headers and cats though. I don't think I will do both though. If I have an 2004.5 model then I will just do the headers since the O2 sensors in that model throw a CEL with the test pipes. If not, I may just do the test pipes and not the headers since the headers are a pain in the azz.

Im in. You could just throw the non-fouler fix on the test pipes to keep it from throwing a code. So when are you going to hold this tech session?

It may be this coming weekend, but chances are I will be driving down to San Diego to pick up the Z. I just have to decide if I want to make that a 1 or 2 day trip. If its not this coming weekend then it will be Sunday April 9th.

Ok, so if you're driving down, how are you going to drive back with the Z? Unless if you're Houdini and didn't tell us, then .

Oh and I have an Unorthodox Racing Crank Pulley...

I was bored so I went to install the plenum and intake and the car wouldn't start. So I put the OEM intake back on and it still doesn't start. Damn plenum...I think its warped from being off the car for so long. Anyone have a plenum spacer for sale?

Ok well I just looked at Injen.com and they are two different intakes for the Z and G as well lol. So it looks like my list is getting shorter

Yeah, Im going to need a tech session soon... being online at 1am, no good can come of it.... well, I guess Tanabe GF210 springs can come of it. Should be here in 2-3 days.

PS. Anyone have any tire hook-ups?? With these new springs that lop-sided rear pass. tire is going to kill me! I need a new temp. tire until I can afford to change them all.

I had the intake run as a short ram and it seemed to fit, but the picture on Injen's website is different up near the throttle body.

Ty - I will have to find out what exactily that is and let you know. I think I am going to try my intake once more though once I get the OEM plenum back on.

Ok well I put the OEM plenum back on and the Injen CAI and it works! That sucks that my plenum is warped because now I can't even sell it, but at least the intake works. The crank pulley is next and maybe the test pipes, and most likely not the headers .

No tires hookup, but Sam's Club have good prices on some of their performance tires.

Took me and Zro Mike 2-2.5 hours to install these springs. F-ing good springs too!
