Any word on the street/track version of theses? Season is getting close and I need to pull the trigger on something soon!

Still in process, but we will definitely be first to know.

Sharif@Forged 03-10-2010 03:52 PM

Here are some quick photos of our diff cooler in progress. Not quite done, and I will post some pics of the pumping setup shortly. The car is back up in the air already. :)

For those of you tracking your cars frequently, a diff cooler is nearly as important as the oil cooler. We are seeing 300F+ temps in the diff without a cooler, and this is still at stock power. Of course, this type of installation we chose will only work with a dedicated race car. We can easily configure this to a trunk mount setup, or under the trunk pan.

Looking good. Never seen that setup before, but i like it

travisjb 03-10-2010 04:40 PM

From racing the 350Z, cooling the transmission overheat hasn't been an issue for us yet. Might be something to look for, however, particularly if doing some endurance racing.

Valentino 03-10-2010 07:55 PM

Nice setup you have their Sharif. Are you going to use an electric fan?

I'm in the market looking for a diff cooler.

+1 on the must have if your a track day warrior.

Yes, just about to post the other pics...don't spoil it...LOL. Fan is part of stage I. Stage II will involve ducting from the side glass to the cooler.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share with you some pictures from the NASA track day at Road Atlanta a couple weeks ago.

Enjoy!

What was the car's race weight?

Equinox 03-22-2010 11:10 PM

what happens to cars that shops pick up and turn into a race car after 5 years? Totalled and then move on? lol

Brazilbro 03-23-2010 12:44 PM

The silver GT-R is sold. Both it and this 370Z belong to a client of FP; they are not shop cars. I don't think he has any plans to sell the 370Z.

Btw, he is a rather big fella with a background in arse kicking and that "girl with the big boobs" is the love of his life. :tup:

protoZ 03-31-2010 08:55 PM

sorry if i missed it but what were the specs on these wheels again? oh and forged more pics please :tup:

Ryan@Forged 04-01-2010 07:46 AM

RE30 Gloss Black

19x10 +30
19x11 +25

:) We have RE30s in stock. PM or call me if you would like a set.

protoZ 04-01-2010 07:49 PM

can you pm me a price for gloss black

FU3L 07-06-2010 07:29 PM

I assume your using the stock ecu since the engine is all stock. If so, are the test pipes your running causing the stock ecu to throw an engine light? or are you using some kind of O2 sensor extension....

RCZ 07-06-2010 08:40 PM

Fu3l, you can turn CEL codes off using tuning software...

Car looks great Forged :)

dlmartin81 07-06-2010 08:45 PM

Those on the white Z were gloss black? Holy crap were they dirty!

Ryan@Forged 07-07-2010 07:33 AM

Fu3L, there are ways to eliminate o2 codes. The o2 spacer is the cheapest and simplest mechanical fix.

Yes, those wheels were gloss black, lol. Carbotech brake pads tend to make any wheel look dirty. 2-3 hard laps and that gloss black looks matte black ;) That car is now running a completely different set of wheels.

So what are you guys using to eliminate o2 codes?

and can we see some pics of those new wheels?:pics::tup:

Ryan@Forged 07-07-2010 12:28 PM

a normal o2 spacer usually does the trick. It can be purchased from any autozone for about $5 each ;)

The car is not here at the moment, so I don't have any pictures on hand. If Jay sees this maybe he can post up some pictures :)

Sharif@Forged 07-08-2010 08:35 AM

It's here again! High boost in just a moment...finally! :)

Ryan will get some fresh pictures up.

Valentino 07-08-2010 08:46 AM

We want videos :driving:

Zsteve 07-08-2010 02:54 PM

oh noooooo!

FU3L 07-19-2010 08:48 PM

Turbo?? whereee we need pics lol! do you guys have the new rims and tires on yet?

Ryan@Forged 07-20-2010 08:05 AM

Here are a couple pictures of the new wheel setup. I'll let Jay post up more pictures if he wants to ;)

just not a fan of the all black wheels and rims, just doesnt seem to have a line that breaks the look apaprt. Kinda looks like the whole wheel well is just dark or dirty. But I guess some like it so to each their own.
