    Hey guys, I'm going to be ordering a new HU for my 08 speed3 with Bose cause the 6 cd changer sucks and randomly stopped working. CDs are stuck in there and won't eject. Anyway, I've been looking on crutchfield. Looking to get a double-din, only problem is alot of the ones I want don't...

    Do I need VCTS?

    Hey guys, got the P2004 code the other day. Read the code using my AP, the AP even showed that "APV stuck open". After doing some research I found out it's really referring to the "Variable tumble control system" which basically deals with valves in the intake manifold that open and close...

    Engine Knock, again

    Ok I know this topic has been talked about, but I'm posting this because I feel like its unique to other similar threads. I have been monitoring knock for the last few days because I've put at least 25k on my current Denso plugs and just found out you should be replacing them every 15k, not...

    Clutch Pedal Buzzzzz

    Ok so since the installation of my TRZ tranny mount which is awesome by the way, I've had horrible buzzing from the clutch pedal. Granted the noise and vibes have gone down somewhat since the install, but the pedal buzzes like crazy. Usually when downshifting or cruising. Just putting my foot...

    Kenwood dpx503

    Hey guys, stock head unit crapped out. Won't eject or play cd's so I'm forced to find a budget friendly aftermarket headunit. This kenwood is in the right price range and looks like it would look good (close to stock). Just wanted to know if anyone on here has experience with it. I already...

    CD stuck

    Hey guys, was loading in a disc today and once it went in I turned the radio off. Half an hour later turned the radio back on and the screen keeps going in cycles of showing "check cd" for a few seconds and then will go to "Disc out" and then flash on the #3 cd, which is the slot I was filling...

    To gut or Not to gut?

    Funds are short after my recent purchases and I can't rationalize more money on a DP since it's something I was trying to stay away from anyway. So I thought maybe gutting it would be a good way to achieve the last bolt on mod I have left to do without spending too much money. Would it need to...

    An Idea

    This idea will benefit people with FMIC's mostly but I'd like anyones input on the subject. As I continue to modify my car, the pile of stuff in the corner of my garage, my "stock" pile I guess, haha, continues to grow. One item that always catches my attention is the factory air ducts that...

    Weird Datalog

    Ok, so I updated my AP yesterday or two days ago and this is the first datalog I've done since it's been updated and I'm hoping that's why I'm getting very strange readings. I was monitoring fuel psi while doing the datalog and that seems to be the only thing that makes sense in the datalog. I...

    Odd cat-back question

    Ok so I have the mod bug again. I want to get a pro-tune but I also want to make sure I'm done with everything else first. Which leads me to CNT's cat-back. It's only $310 bucks. Even if it doesn't give me any gains (which I think it will give me some) it's a great buy. But I cannot stand...

    fuel pump internals question

    Hey guys, if I get over this cold I'm hoping to install my PTP internals tommorow night. The directions are pretty good I just had a couple of concerns. After the install I know the break in process is very important. PTP says to let the car idle for 1 minute followed by 1500 rpms for 1...

    Burnt clutch

    Ok, so took my car with my wife and neices to an apple farm to go apple picking. What a bad idea!! The place is designed so that you drive around instead of walking and park where you want to pick. There were sooo many people there so I was using the clutch alot, and to add to that it was all...

    Dad got a 370Z

    So I know this is non-mazda related but I my dad just got a new 370Z. Unfortunately he got an automatic but that's cause he doesn't have much feeling in his feet and was having a hard time with the clutch. Anyway, I figured you guys on here might know of some good nissan performance websites...

    car beeped 3 times

    Hey guys, today driving home my car I was on the phone with my wife and out of no where I heard 3 beeps. Not like the car horn beep, but an interior beep. I got home, turned the car off, and searched google. Most sites talked about something being wrong with the alarm system, or the door...

    Brake pad/rotor noise?

    Ok, so I'm at about 46k miles and am still using the stock brake pads. I know I know, crazy and I should have replaced them by now. BUT I just checked out my front pads and there is still some life in them but I will be replacing them soon. So here's my question, could never having anyone work...

    COBB shifter creaking

    Like the title says, usually after driving for a few minutes my cobb shifter starts to creak when putting into 3rd and 5th gear. I'm assuming its the shifter, as I can't see what else it could be? I tried putting some wd40 on the ball joint at the bottom but that didn't really do anything...

    Knock while shifting?

    So I usually have my AP monitoring KR just to make sure everything is ok. I get the usual small amounts of knock while cruising(.35, .7, etc.) Not worried about that because its just the ECU adjusting timing. Every now and then I get higher readings out of no where just driving around town, as...

    Akuma Info

    I plan on calling Akuma at some point this week to get the info from them but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask you guys as well. My modding is coming to an end this year as I'm running out of things that I want to do, don't want bigger turbo or a downpipe. So for me that leaves tuning and...

    Clunking noise

    Hey guys. I posted a couple months ago about a weird noise coming from what I figured was the engine bay. Turns out it could have been my test-pipe bracket rubbing against the rod that holds the grommet. Took care of that and also upped my idle rpms to 950 to get rid of oil smoke. Needless...
