:iagree:

If JRZ were to make a shock in the price range of the KW's I would be willing to bet they would blow the KW's out of the water. I have run on KW 3 way race shocks which are supposed to be the "equivalent" to the JRZ 3 ways and I can tell you from firsthand experience that it's not even funny how much better the JRZ's are. I would only assume if JRZ were to make a coilover in the $2K range that it would be the best $2K coilover available period. It will be interesting to see what they come up with ;)

Thanks Ryan for that info but that begs the question, if JRZ is making a more "mainstream" adjustable coilover, is it likely to be in the 2K price range or are we looking at more? (Or is it too soon to tell?)

Are you sure that 350Z diff and 370Z diff are identical?

It seems that there are different flavors of R200 diff...

Here we go with two OEM Nissan figure:

350Z (manual or automatic trans is tha same, only the ratio is different)

370Z (manual or automatic trans is the same, only the ratio is different)

From the images and parts numbers, we can see that 370Z diff comes with 4 satellites..... 350Z with only 2 satellites...

The other components seem to be more or less the same, but not EXACTLY the same...

At the end...

Are we sure that aftermarket 350Z ring-pinion couple (4.08, 3.9 etc..) fits 370Z?

Thank you very much to everyone giving his opinion or sharing his own personal experience, bye!

someone on this forum already has 4.08 gears in the 370z

Very good point. I would assume "more mainstream" would be relative. I would expect to see them closer to the 3K range if I were to make a guess, but it is merely that, a guess. I would imagine a "mainstream" coilover from JRZ would be priced closer what the Ohlins were for the 350z($3k). Not trying to contradict what I previously said, but I find it hard to believe they would make a product in the same price range as the HKS, Teins, etc considering their high quality standards. I do however expect it to be significantly lower than their RS Pro's which are usually around the $4500 range. As of now it is too soon to tell so all we have is speculation on prices.

Ok... someone has.

But:

1) They changed the ring-pinion couple within their original 370Z diff box?

2) Or they changed the whole diff box, putting on an used 350Z one, already upgraded to 4.08?

:ugh2:

Let me say, that you can install a 350Z 6MT aftermarket LSD , into the 370Z 6MT pumpkin. That is what I know for certain. There maybe some different parts, but in this application, it's a direct swap.

I wasn't speaking to whether a ring-pinion swap is possible, since we have no plans to do that, or a need to do that on the race 370Z project. Although I can make an educated assumption that they are compatible. I am merely stating that an upgraded aftermarket LSD unit will drop right in.

I generally don't like to make recommendations until I've physically tested or had my hands on the product/parts.

Thanks for the input Ryan, much appreciated. :tiphat:

Uhm........

Something caught in your throat? :bowrofl:

Why yes.





















































UPDATES PLEASE!

Coming soon guys! We also have a full service facility to run on a day to day basis. Waiting on brakes, wheels, and tires to arrive, and we'll be diving in.

I wonder what wheels you're waiting for :P

Wheels and what the brakes will be upgraded to.

They car custom made CCW Motorsports wheels. Nothing off the shelf would suit us. :(

Brakes are Stop Tech Trophy series 14 inch rotors all around, and 4 pistons. The trophy series is designed for track use only, and comes without power coating and dust boost (which tend to burn up and fade away).

CCW's rock!

Are you thinking LM20, Classic, or something else? I'm assuming 18's?

I second that.

CCWs are the bomb...

you spec it they make it. I will have a couple sets on my autox car...

CCW's in yet? or updates?

Change of plans of the wheels. We are making 5 sets of custom TE37's in 18X11 and 18X12.5 with 370Z specific offsets. This will be the ultimate track wheel, and it will clear the OEM BBK's just fine.

Our GT-R Time Attack program (two cars) has consumed a lot of our time over the past 8 weeks. Now that the season is over (finished 3rd in the national points chase), we're back it it with the 370Z. More updates coming soon! :)

wow, big wheels... what size rubber ?

So the plan is to keep the OEM BBK?

And can't go wrong with TE37's, great choice.

Congrats on 3rd!

I don't think so, since they sold them a while back, but that was some rather odd wording Sharif. Will they clear my brembos?

He said they would be running stoptechs I believe?...

Sharif so whens your turbo kit coming in? hehehe
Your gonna have the evil twin to me!!!

We are definitely going to have to do a photo shoot of the GTR and 2 370z's when we get them done! :tup: cant wait for your updates :D

They will clear the OEM sport brake kit (for those that aren't swapping them out). But they will also clear aftermarket BBK's as well.

We are running the StopTech Trophy Series brakes on the car...nothing changed there.

If we run a DOT tire for certain events, it will be a 295 front and 335 rear. Slicks will be 280/330 combo, as they are sized a little differently.

I might have to come do a test fit when they get in.

Sharif,
Good meeting you in person the other day!! Thanks for the quick tour of your shop and letting me check out your project here!!
BTW: I ended up going to Nalley Infiniti in Decator and they took care of my TPMS problem without a hitch!! (friend of a co-worker there)
:tiphat:

Nice! I was confident they would take care of those TPMS sensor resync for you. You have a beautiful ride...bring it back soon for some powwaa!

Our Brakes showed up today from StopTech!

Enjoy this eye candy. It's hard to believe these will be covered in brake dust before too long :D

wow those look really nice. can't wait to see more updates on this Z! :tup:

12.5" rims... :eek:

that's gonna be pretty wide....... good stuff

hey, ryan what lap time are you guys shooting for at road atlanta. it would be a blast watching this car run down the back stretch at 160 :tup:

never mind lol

so how do we go about getting those custom sized te's? they sound delicious haha

Final details will be released very shortly. Just getting final approvals, but they will be available to all for sale. :)

Love it!!! The car is going strong btw! She wants to spin the 20's all day long!!! haha gotta use some throttle control lately... BTW guys Sharif does amazing work! he broke my car's new motor in and we consistently made 12hp more than the old motor! But I really wished that 280hp wasnt a fluke :( on the dyno dynamics... we would of had a MONSTER!!!! Good luck Sharif cant wait to see yall pull a 1:36 at road A!

i wanna see that.

:iagree: that's pretty fast for a naturally aspirated v6 but of course not impossible. :driving:

We've done 1:40 flat in a race prepped NA 350Z making just 240whp, so I think a 1:36 is a good stretch target for the 370Z. Didn't say it would be easy though. :driving:
