Org,
Since I drove the 98z 3500 I picked up for my brother I have been wanting one. The first phase gen 2 is about my favorite body style. Guy from v6z24 has one he wants to sell. The reason I post here is twofold. Slight rust over a wheel well. rocker and he has a ton of first and second gen z parts. I can pick up the spare parts with the truck if I decide to get the car. There are a ton of interior, exterior and driveline parts he is looking to get rid of. Is there anything you all need? As a third gen guy I know it has to be a lot easier for me at the yards than for the older stock!
Is it the red with the broke shifter cable?

yeah, cable is fixed now though.
seems most of the issues were squared away.
Go for it. They sound awesom too.

so i picked up the car. It has a slight miss it sounds like and sometimes it cuts out hard (fuel cut off?) at 3500 rpm in first or 5500 any gear. could this be because it was originally a auto car?
I doubt it. I would join v6z24.com. The should have a custom chip, probably made by super dave, scott9999, the other person on the forum who makes them. There is maybe 4 people that make them so someone will know the car and remember the tune. Are you sure its not a coil going bad? The 3500 I don't think will run on a 3.1 tune because it needs a crank trigger. I doubt someone would order an auto tune then change the car to manual. There is an in gear rev limiter and a neutral rev limiter. Best way to find out is ask the seller, or post on v6z24.com and try to get some history on the car and tune. I know it was for sale for a year or so.

With it cutting out at such specific numbers on the tach, my guess would be a rev limiter in the software from having an auto trans.
I am thinking it may be a bug in the tune that was not removed. Benefit to HP TUners I suppose. It runs fine other than when it happens. I need to do some more work on it before I worry about not being able to rev super high. I need a power window switch, adjust ebrake and bleed brakes. Looking for some good winter tires, I know these swapped cars can be a handful with bad tires.
The car is OBD2? I thought it was obd1.

It isn't, the 98 could be tuned some through obd2. obd1 is almost greek to me.
on an aside are the second gen brakes normally soft? I am trying to decide if I have a brake booster vacuum issue or a lazy master on my hands.

Yes, they are soft lol. I have been thinking about using a 3rd gen brake setup or putting in residual pressure valves like 3rd gens use. I have the NWF swap and neons on my 2nd gen and its a little better but it is still soft.

The brakes worry me to no end, could you message me the details on the upgraded kit you put together? I saw the thread on v6 but real world is always better. On an aside I used to live in wyomissing, where about are you
