Regardless, I am glad to see you are moving on with your 370Z goals. Good luck with your future Z endeavors! Quote:

By late spring we aim to be at the point where we will have a true shelf item - we'll be able to install a kit within a few weeks (or less if only the kit is being installed). Everything we make for the 370ZTT that is pure fabwork - Intercooler, Piping, Oil/Coolant Lines, Manifolds etc- is double and triple checked for fitment. And then set aside for reference/jigging. And we have refined most of our jigs and are beginning to build stock of the major components. Being able to install a TT kit from a box which has been proven to fit and perform versus having to literally design and create every component from scratch (which includes a lot of second and third variations) makes the all difference in time. And we are greatly appreciative of those, like Fusz Nissan, who are willing to be the first. That's one reason we have a shop 370Z - so that the products which end up on Lou's car fit and perform up to expectation. LOL, and so we can shoot for the limits of the stock block on the AAM 370Z later this winter!

^ LH FTW!!!
Ok, Lou, pretty soon we're going to have to start a new thread for you! This one is getting pretty big, and I want you to have a seperate thread for your car. Installing the gauges was an incredibly intricate process, and a lot more in depth than we originally anticipated. Nearly the entire dash had to come out for the gauges to go in the factory gauge holders, but the end result is as clean as OEM!! Dash is almost completely back in now, and I should have some photos for you of the gauges lit up here shortly. In the meantime, check these out! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I know what you're thinking; "Is it just me, or do the needles in the gauges look off centre?" This is true! They all are slightly off, but rest assured though, they are all clocked correctly. The needles are still "limp", because they have never had any power run through them. Once they are fully wired and powered on for the first time, they will all come to rest at a perfect 90° angle. ![]() And here's why I love Defi gauges so much: ![]() ![]() Completely blacked out when they are powered off. Bright red display when turned on. Sic. ![]()

![]() Example of the Defi Gauges: ![]() No prob Lou, I try to keep you updated as much as possible. As soon as everything is wired up and ready to go, I'll get you some pictures; maybe even a video of the Defi Gauge start-up procedure, that never gets old! ![]()

Where are you mounting the set of gauges?
My own choice of three preffered to monitor btw, EGT is so important and mostly over looked especially from a tuning stand point, any ideas on your tap point for the EGT probe, I take it just one probe but interested to see where on this set up. Cheers
