    Clinking and Raddle noise from Engine... Scared!

    All sounds like clutch chatter to me. Most manual cars do it and will do it more after racing or heavy driving. Nothing to really worry about, a ton of cars do this. When I still had my ms3 it would do it after racing, scared me2 at first till I found out it was the clutch.

    20lb safe or not.

    What a horrible thread. And to the guys telling people to go and run the 20+ lbs you should jump off a cliff. Just cus you guys lasted doesn't mean they all will. Your telling people to blow their motors and just cus yours hasn't you think its cool to do so. Look over the few ms3 forums and...

    Hellish mod day...

    my o2 sensor tried to do the same thing. to be honest, if ur friends knew what they were doing they shoulda known this is a common problem on a lot of cars. those sensors that go in deeper tend to absorb a ton more heat and want to melt onto the pipe, i know i can ask half my mechanic friends...

    Downpipe And Our Horrible Stock Turbo Seals

    Look online at some forums, stock 08 350z's can do 13.10s with the right driver, most guys are mid 13s easy.

    How do you get the cp-e DP in?

    I installed the corksport downpipe. Although it's just a dp and not a combo with the midpipe like cp-e's im sure you work it in the same. Have you removed the smaller subframe from underneath the car? And you should be able to just stick it up through there cus theres a bit of room once the...

    TurboXS racepipe, not very happy!!!

    eh, turboxs seems to be building a bad rep with the ms3. this, no instructions for a fmic, and the gaskets with the testpipes. my friend had his gasket fall apart a couple months ago. turboxs said they would send him a new one. he's called them SEVERAL times about the gasket and they say the...

    Has your engine died?

    Why didn't you just remove the downpipe and testpipe before bringing it in? This may be a pain in the ass but you wouldn't be in this situation now... This is why you keep key stock parts, and changing the downpipe out won't even let you work this issue out now because it changes boost etc. I...

    2008.5 decal imitation

    the only part i like about the piano black is the trim that goes over the lcd display, the rest is just too much and doesnt look right. this is just a scam to sell more cars and let people think they are special for buying them. we really just need more options to get stuff of this one...

    Loosing boost after taking off intercooler?

    You don't need to take the intercooler off because I never did. Like I said just need a good pair of snap ring pliers and its super easy.

    Loosing boost after taking off intercooler?

    No its where your intake connects to leading to your turbo. Maybe you knocked it loose while taking off the intercooler. Good luck with the snap ring, thing drove me crazy cus the snap ring pliers I had were garbage.
