Just upgraded fluids and coolers. We are testing some different clutch packs and seals as well, but so far OEM seems to be holding up splendidly even under fulll race use.

Seems you guys do a great job at Forged. I need to visit your shop soon!

Come on by anytime. There are always tons of cool projects I can show you.

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.

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!

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.

That is awesome to see this whole build coming together and in action on the track! Thanks for the pics and keep up the good work
