I just want to know if the addition of headers on my engine will render the car more noisy (I mean a lot ) or is it just a nice mellow tone??? Thanks!:tapemouth

How much increase in HP should I expect with headers on my ZED??? Any guestimates???:sleepy:

Thanks, you're a SAINT man!!!!! Guy:classic:

Hearing the sounds of my engine revving and the rumble of my exhaust system!!!!!

OK, Guys, I think I got the point... Easy on the curve with fuul tank of gas... Too much testo on my side probably too... :bunny:

Ok, I was driving the Z quite hard, and I took a sharp left turn (drifting in fact) and was running with a fuu tank of gas... As I excited the turn, I could smell a bad vapor of gas coming from behind.. I just freaked out...:dead: Well, stop on the side of the road, and saw a huge amout of gas that did came out of the fuel filler cap.. Have you guys experienced this before??? The rubber on the cap is ok (might be on the dry side to my thought), but the gas cap was perfectly tight yesterday.. What is wrong?? Any tips???

Weel could'nt be more Cristal clear.. I must be numb!!!! Thans for the nice details and the rotten toes!!!! Ah these french Canadians....:stupid:

OK. I'd like to know if the third lever (the last one close to the console) is supposed to send some warm air in the cabin when push to the far right??? problem is (in fact, don't know if it's a problem) when the lever is in that far position, I still have fresh (cold in the september morning in Montreal ) air comingout of the 2 rounded vents on either side of the dashboard.. Maybe there is a lever/cable broken behind the dash??? Help me please! :sick:

I'm still dreaming about it even fater almost a week... AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING!!!!:classic:

Ok, I'll do it in english and french as well... One of my friend from Qc, Canada is working at the ATC (Nissan Arizona Test Center ) in Mesa, near Phoenix, and he's a mechanical engineer. I had to be in Phoenix last week for a business trip and I went to visit him friday!!!! What a nice day! We did a tour of all the facility testing they do have, an oval, braking test , skidpad , water test for 4*4 and so on! I did saw a lot of new cars from Nissan, the new Maxima, THE NEW BIG NISSAN PICK-UP THAT NISSAN WILL LAUNCH IN 2004-2005, THE NEW RE-DESIGNED NISSAN MINIVAN QUEST, the new G35 Coupe (lloks closely to a 350Z to my taste, some cars from Japan as well as their fleet of other cars for comparison (S2000, M3, X5, etc) We then took the keys of a brand new 350Z with the Trac package (Brembo disks, Stability control) and went for a ride!! Oh my Oh my!!!!! We did the high speed oval, and we did beat the car like hell, since it's a test mule!!! Grip is fantastic, brakes are amazing, and I was surprised at the level of confort for the amount of grip you got with the car!! The shape is growing on me for the 1st time, nad the interior is well appointed also. After taht, we took the keys of a right hand drive Skyline 2,5GT (RWD), with 280HP and a big turbo, and went for some drifting on the race track!!! Guy was a happy guy!!!!!!! What a day it was, plus the scenery in Arizona is gorgeous!!! FROM FEW FRENCH READERS HERE!!! Bon, revenu de Phoenix samedi pm. Vendredi, je me suis tapé la visite des installations en banlieue de Phoenix de 5 h 00 pm à à 20 h 00!!!! Un de mes amis du secondaire est Engineer powertrain Performance pour Nissan. Ils ont un centre de test plus grand que Blainville.... On a fait le tour des installations, c en plein milieu du désert à environ 68 km de Phoenix. J'ai visité tous les garages, vu beaucoup de prototypes maquillée (dont la maxima 2004, le Murano et aussi la Quest), le nouveau pick-up Nissan full grandeur pour 2005 avec un 5,4 litres) et d'autres dont je ne peux parler.... On a ensuite pris les clés d'une rutilante 350Z avec 1854 miles dessus, avec le TRAC package! On a ensuite été se promener sur les différentes parties de test des installations.: Test de freinage, accéleration, anneau de vitese et quoi d'autre encore! Puis, on a pris les clés de la Skyline 2,5, et on a fait quelques tests là encore!!!! Drift, accélération, side drift, mais la 4ème vitesse était pas mal fatigué... Crisse que ça tire, et le 6 en ligne avec la grosse waste gate qui se lamante!!! Ouf, je suis venu ds mes shorts!!! Mon chum trippe ben raide, j,ai appris plein de choses sur le 2,5 l, pourquoi il tourne pas plus vite etc ... Guy est ravi sde sa visite, et l'Arizona, ESTIE QUE C BEAU!!!! LES PAYSAGES SONT ÉPOUSTOUFLANTS.....

Is that paint colour a factory colour? It's supposed to be Orange 918 from datsun, 1972. or did you respray it? YES IT WAS REPAINTED 5 YEARS AGO And you mentioned that the front air damn is factory (or close too), do you have any references to which years it was installed or if it was used in any racing? THE FRONT AIR DAM IS FROM MSA, NOT INSTALLED AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS ON THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT. Thanks for the nice word on the car, yours is a beauty also! :cheeky:

Ok, well, no offense, I think I'm tired , after all, IM a french canadian, so I do have a good sense of humour!!!! :stupid:
