think he's talkin about the generic A/F ratio gauge though, needle just goes back and forth between lean/optimum/rich.

He would have to be a REALLY crappy driver to lose to you. Was it raining?
or he just slapped it all on there and didnt get a tune... I see quite a few of "those guys" around...

OK, from everybody's responses,
The dates we need to look at would be:
NHRA Nationals weekend August 30,31, September 1 (Labor Day)
I think that Saturday or Sunday would be better than Monday
Or
Moto GP weekend September 13 & 14 (Dale will be at ORP this weekend)
13th is practice and qualifying
The 14th is race day.
I think that Saturday would be better than Sunday
Now we just need to figure out which weekend will work the best for the out of town members.
Post up your preferences so we can nail down a date.
Also do we want to plan an all day event/cruise or just a meet n greet n eat for a few hours.
Let me know
NHRA nationals weekend is good for me, dont matter which day

haji place the bomb to deep. if it was placed correctly they would be dead.
yep, looks like they actually put alot of effort into that one, usually they're sloppier, like hidden in a little pile of rocks or somethin

when adding any kind of boost a wideband is kind of a given, so you should go for one and will be thankful for it in the future.
BTW, might-as-well go with a walbro other than a "stock" upgrade. Alot of nissan guys over in japan(silvia's or non skyline GTR's) would want to spend the cash for the GTR fuel pump whereas they could spend $30 or moreAT THE MOSTfor the walbro 255lph

well next weekend a friend of mine was gonna drive us all up in his nissan versa (gas mileage FTW!) for the NHRA event, but if anyone is down for a little meet I'll drive up there in my SS no problem.
-
it's all good for me, labor day weekend or not, lemme know what yall come to a decision on
-
there's one this weekend? Damn, I know I'm headin over there next weekend for the NHRA drags
-
count me in, I'm right over here in dayton, not too far away. Would like to meet some more of the SS community, just lemme know when!

well, figured I'd update on this. Nothin new put on the truck so far, but have decided to stick to it as a project. Got it about 3 and a half weeks ago and the pinion bearing has already gone bad on it, dealership wants me to pay half for it, that's a $900 job alone. Would tackle it myself but cant at this point in time, and I heard you need a special tool to do this?
Still searching around the forum, lookin where to start for mods, got a good idea already. And later, if I get deployed($cha-ching$), I'm planning on getting a supercharger. Any recommendations on what's the best to get? I've heard alot about the magnachargers but that's about it. So for right now the pinion bearing is gonna get taken care of and maybe some new rubber, I need two new fronts for sure.
Oh, and definately will be getting a mail order tune, fuggin' A

So, where about are you in Ohio?
dayton/fairborn area
Before you settle on dynatech, be sure ot read up on OBX as well. It could save you alot of coin for pretty much the same thing. You still might want to go dynatech if you are in an emissions county in Ohio as dynatechs are the only ones offering emissions passing cats.Not sure if this county is or not, but will check out OBX too.

The color and tint is really what caught my eye. I really like the blue as well, but sometimes bein in the air force that color just gets old
I drive around blue silverado's every day...THANKS! See that's what I'm talkin about, had no idea you couldnt use the regular silverado roll pans
Congrats..you have a Volant CIA those are top of the line....
Ya I could see it was "volant" but I've never heard of em before, good to know it's good quality stuff... Probly woulda swapped it out for somethin else
welcome to the site. Looks like whoever had it before you got the right idea on what and what not to do. See youve got a volant intake which might even be the ram air intake one if there is a tube running from the intake to the front right scoop then you are set on that. As far as exhaust you can just looks underneath at the mufflers and probably tell what it has. like Rays B4U said there are only 2 rollpans that work with the SS due to the body cladding on the bottom 3rd of the truck. if your looking into performance some of the more common things done to an SS would be full exhaust system which headers the most common 2 are dynatech and pacesetter. The dynatechs have a bolt up system that includes either a offroad y pipe or one with high flow cats. Another common mod would be to tune the pcm and I don't mean by using a handheld programmer either, get a mail order tune which some guys like Zippy and Wheatley are 2 most common guys here that do that. Everyone here has probably tried one thing or another when it comes to performance so just ask and someone can chime in to give you a hand.Will probly end up doin that sometime, the mail order tune. I already read up on the thread sayin the programmers were crap, and the header sticky as well, and will be goin with dynatech. I've dealt with pacesetter before and wasnt satisfied.

Well, just got back to the states on sunday, bought the SS on tuesday. Learned most of what I know about cars on nissans, messed with them quite a bit while I was stationed over in japan. Have always been a fan of SS's, and happen to see this one hidin in the corner of a dealership, and couldnt pass it up. I dont know much about SS's and what different models there are and whatnot, but am lookin forward to learning. This site has already given me a hell of alot of info.
Future plans... up in the air... dunno if I'm gonna make this a huge project yet or not, but in the meantime will be adding simple upgrades like headers. Exterior wise I'm going to be ordering a roll pan and shaving all the antennas, and that's about all I'm gonna do for the exterior. I'm a firm believer in keepin the exterior simple.
from what I can see(and hear), it's got an aftermarket intake and side exhaust. Not sure exactly what aftermarket parts are the best to start with on these trucks, so any advice is appreciated...But yes, I WILL BE USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION, and not postin a 100th post on intakes, exhaust, etc
