Hey everybody, since the plenum pull the Z has been running really well and I couldnt be happier with the job I did. It does idle high and that will be taken care of as soon as I have free day to play with the IACV and high idle control module. I also put in new longer studs up front, and new lug nuts all the way around, everything actually stays where is it supposed to. The plan was to some spacers all the way around and new front bumper but then a deal came up and I ended up acquiring some Bride BrixII seats and installed them last weekend and besides not being able to angle the whole seat, im 6'3" so my knees hold lengthy conversations with the steering wheel, but I couldnt be happier and they hold awesome, just as they should. Here are some pics.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Depending on work this summer and some tax returns...hehe....still looking into spacers, j-spec front bumper, possibly selling my shocks to help fund some coilovers, but the Z has decided to leak like a broken dam along the driver side window so may have to attend to that too. I should prolly update my sig too. Thanks for reading, happy Z-ing everybody

Lookin' good man!
Regarding your high idle, be sure to check your CTS and TPS connections and make a pass at your PTU harness connections as well. clean them if necessary and be sure to use di=grease when re-assembling them. My Z had become a little sluggish idling down from warmup, and then after relocating my PTU the idle wouldn't go below 1,100 rpm until I cleaned/di-greased the connections listed (one PTU connector and TPS were VERY green) and idle returned to normal.
