What have you done to your P5 today?

Dyno'd the car on Saturday and got some decent numbers (I think they're a little inflated). Too bad the dyno somehow lost my tach signal past 5500 RPM though - for some reason it didn't like the way my car was firing. I'd post the graphs but the RPM plot only goes to 5500 RPM and in the speed plot the tq numbers go all to hell after it lost signal. It's weird though; I've dyno'd the car three times and this is the first time it's ever happened...
 
I stopped at a wash center on the way in to work and I belive I found the best looking, but unfortunately the worst due to lack of water pressure wash center I have even been to. Also notcied my hatch is rusting again at the seams. It had just been replaced... guess I will mention that next time I am at the dealer.
 
Spun her on cold tires at the autox yesterday. :)

LOL I bet it wasn't as spectacular as Brett's spin in my car yesterday :p (see pics in the motorsports section).

How'd you do @ the event overall?

ROFL, nope, glad that smoke wasn't coming from my V710s. :p
I sucked!!!! 1 slow run on ice-cold tires on a wet surface, 1 decent run, next run became a re-run as a cone wall was wiped out in front of me. 4th run had my spin-out and then the 5th was almost the same time as my second. I was launching too high and learning that the P5 does not have an LSD...
 
on the edge of the fender, or were you just hitting the fender liner in full bump travel?
 
so just the liner? I wouldn't worry too much about that. Maybe a little spacer to keep the tire off the strut?

Yeah, and much less on the driver's side and almost non-existent compared to the liners on the MSP w/ the 245s. It could have been the course, so I'll check it after the Test n' Tune next Sunday.
 
the P5's also softer srung than the MSP. What bumpstops are you using? Stock? Or modified or MSP bumps?

Hmmm...either stock or the modified ones I used w/ the GCs. I can't remember what ended up on there after we put the stockers back on.
 
You may want to check on that. The modified ones are ok for the rates you were running before, but I wouldn't run stock springs w/o the stock bump stops esp. if you're running into the fender.
 
i say basic bolt ons and your good.

intake
exhaust
springs and struts


what thing that i love is tinted tails on a TL. i saw one in irvine a couple months ago. it was that dark gunmetal color, and had tinted everything. i peed my pants
 
pulled two transmissions installed one and fixed a hole in my radiator and then went to watch some of my friends at a local autocross maybe next time ill be out there
 
I drove it. Rec'd the Infiniti's today. Now, just waiting on my other amp and gotta order amp wiring kits, new wire, sound deadining, and get the audio underway.

Also waiting on the busted stock fogs to show so I can start the projector retrofit as well
