Speed bump & stock 350z

So what's the fatality rate of stock 350z's bodykit when driven here in Malaysia? Since it is not too low, I assume there won't be too much troubles going over speed bumps. The wheelbase is long though, so my...

Check Light after Emanage Installation

Hi all,

I'm currently on a CE9A (Evo 3) running stock setup except 2.5" downpipe and 3" piping behind, an open pod and avcr running max 1 bar.

Everything is fine.

Just installed Emanage (Blue) with full harness...
