    Nissan 350Z

    I left work a little early because we were having people over for a BBQ, it had been storming all day but the sun had come out bright about an hour earlier and now it was hot and humid. After a week of grey rainy weather I was excited to see the sun no matter how hot it was. I pulled out of...

    E55 AMG smoked by the ol' GN

    ...Okay so I didn't really smoke him, in fact, I was shocked that he was keeping up. I was going down the interstate and saw those funky blue headlight about a mile back and I always slow down a bit to see if I will get a chance to smoke some expensive car and I am usually disappointed to...

    Alternator

    My alternator seems to lose voltage with higher RPM, it starts out around 13.9 but as the RPM rises it drops to 13-13.1. I don't have a big stereo or anything but I think my low voltage is causing my ignition to cut out under high boost. ...So I'm in the market for a new alternator, any...

    Waste Gate Actuator Question

    My car was making too much boost 25+ lbs. I have an external waste gate and I have adjusted the actuator arm out so the waste gate is basically propped open. This does not seem ideal, is there any problem with running it this way and should I get an actuator that blows open sooner?

    High RPM miss/crack/pop

    I just got my car back from getting a transmission overhaul which probably has nothing to do with this problem but now at WOT it misses, cracks and pops at high (5k+) RPM. It seems to run fine unless I'm out on the interstate and really lay into it. Any ideas? On edit: My Scan Master...
