What did you do to your ride today?

[tmillner]

I have a soft spot for those. Wouldn't buy one but like them

@Oshiguru; what size tire were you running?

[08cosmic3]

Installed the DM TMM a couple days ago, replacing the JBR 70 on that side. I've already swapped to the DM on the Passenger side a few months ago, still have the JBR 88 rear which I'll keep for now. Installed a Devils Own methanol kit a couple months ago running 100% for auxiliary fueling. Still tuning but the numbers suggest I'm almost done.

Personally i would go straight to coilovers (because of my current experience).. we have BC coils on a 2012 wrx and i like the way they feel over coil and spring...

Just changed oil and plugs getting ready for the e33 tune with Justin

Washed the car! Gotta be pretty for track night, clean air filter going on. Checking tires etc noticed my tread is a little less than I thought it was, was hoping to get one more day out of them but it may not be wise.

Detuned the hypertech so I could install the AP v3 I just unpacked. Planned on using the Corksport St2 SRI/TIP 93 Oct map but wasnt sure if the backup of the stock ecu actually took 30 minutes. Since its around 27c outisde I decided against sitting inside my car for that long, unless anyone can tell me it doesnt take that long AND is it a one time copy?

Also picked up was the Damond EGR block/delete kit, CS 3.5 bar map, VG fin antennae and a jbr 51r box. Still on my list are the CS turbo n downpipe, probably the catch can and TMIC and a full race tubular pro stock exhaust mani. Then some form of a new exhaust, maybe dual 3" flow masters....

Took me 10min maybe to copy stock tune, also only one time copy

Perfect!

After work reflash and drive it is.

I should add flash will be an additional 3-5min. Estimates based on my experience, everyone's ecu probably varies a little

[PapaBruno]

Tried out some Plasti-Dip Metalizer on my already purple plasti-dipped AP faceplate. Looks like I Bedazzled my AP. Gives it a bit of a rough finish. I may have to go over it with some glossifier.

[Bingo]

Finally swapped out my stockers. These wheels just look good on everything...

[Donnyg20]

Washed it, and replaced the vtcs swirl solenoid thingy...

[Marcus]

Married up the AP and no joyous fun smile from it. Tried three OTS maps, including Corksports st2/sri/tip and just meh. It does feel and sound just slightly better at speed but getting out of first.. yawn.

Once you get a etune your mind will change for sure.

Sure I could tune it up now or just detune the AP and go back to the Hypertech and be happy for now. I dont quite see how I've read for years on here that "get an ap and an OTS map and you'll see". Suppose no one really used the Hypertech canned tune before. The Corksport map should be right on par for what my car has but the piddly hypertech so far ruins the AP off the line.

Brownie question of the day to anyone: Is flat floot shifting in the AP world no lift shifting or 0-60 wot restrictor removal? I ask b/c of the three tunes I tried, all seemed to have the WOT restriction in place.

[knocturnal]

Installed DM TMM. works great and no additional vibrations. Also installed OPT7 LED Kit in the fog lamps. Very bright I must say. Repaired Clarion Head Unit by way of a new SD Card. Washed the car.

[MS3Shadow]

Installed some LEDs for the reverse lights.
And these are bright o.o

Not a great picture but did this part in vinyl carbon fiber and my mazdaspeed 3 badge on it in red. Looks better in person.

Put my old PnP manifold on and checked my valves for a extended road trip. Washed, oil change and topped of fluids. Funny that i cleaned my valves 20k ago and had dingle berry build up with 2 catch cans, egr delete and spraying 100% meth. Not as bad but it was building up at the stems.

[Reddie1337]

Installed the JBR PMM, and a CP-e rear tranny mount. After installing the CP-e CAI and TIH I flashed with one of the Cobb OTS maps, and was getting a too rich code. Switched over to a stratified OTS map, and it works perfectly.

Also started to take all my painted interior trim from my previous 3 out and install them into the speed because I love the piano black interior trims.

All silver pieces painted gloss black except for ring around the vents and the little knob in the middle vents.


And I mounted a bracket for my AP V2 but I don't like it because most of it is hidden by the signal stalk.



Also installed a TWM short shift full replacement, loving the feel now.

I bought some Morimoto before and those didn't want to fit into the socket. And these other ones fit just right and are very bright and cheaper as well.

Not necessarily true, I've seen a p0092 get thrown when running the car out of gas (in this case pulling the relay )

[CharlieD]

first startup , no code . shut car off , restarted and got the code . Going to pull relay now .

Well pulling relay won't do anything I meant when doing internals usually u run the rail out of gas, I've seen a code get thrown for doing that. But this may be different

[CharlieD]

That is what I did . pulled fuse , ran car dry . I'm going to head over to local autozone to check code . Hopefully no zzb ! haha

Check the plug on top of the HPFP. Unplug it and plug it back in. Also try to disconnect the battery and reset everything. You dont get a check engine light unless something is running like shit or something is unplugged or a sensor broke.
You can run the rail dry by cranking with the gas pedal to the floor. It turns the coils off.

Thanks for the input . That's what I ended up doing . Disconnecting battery , Unplugged HPFP , EGR , fuel relay and then reconnecting it all back . Cycled ignition few times and put a few miles in and the CEL turned off . Just getting back from full break in of HPFP internals and the CEL never came back on .

I posted this in nator FL too but figured this thread gets a lot of travel so worth a shot.

I traded my ms3 2013 white in at infiniti of tampa. I have some leftover stuff from the car along with a second key fob and would like to update the new owner as to what parts I left in the car. It was traded in a few months back. It had an intake duct painted white in the front bumper like a 350z would have. PM me if you know anything about this.

Just to be clear I want to give the parts to the new owner.

[12speed90]

Installed Autotech internals, added an ultimate racing exhaust.

[AwAfrican]

New shoes! So wonderful

[MD1032]

I've enjoyed my PSS so far. One thing that's nice about them is they hold up really well to lots of mileage and abuse.

[SpeedBen]

I noticed a huge degradation in terms or ride quality over the past few days so I knew something was up...dropped the car at the dealer (still under warranty, I have 70k km, around 43.5k miles):

Both struts were blown in the back (The roads are a disaster where I go)
Important leak with the valve cover, will be replaced under warranty.
Flush transmission oil
Aligment
Oil change
Break maintenance
Tire rotation

I'm loving them so far!!! Corners are wonderful. I also went up to 235 from my stock 225 dunslips

[MD1032]

Cornering is the PSS's party trick. No other street tire can touch them there.
