Fast Intentions Stage 2 TT build by MA-Motorsports.

Spooler · 06-04-2019, 01:22 PM

I am ready to be driving. Got the tracking number for the clutch parts. They will be in the first of next week. Holiday weekend messed up the shipping a bit. 7-10 working days for it to hit MA from Japan. I hope the ATS guy got all the parts we needed and they are correct. Fingers crossed.

A sinking feeling hit me the last couple of days with this crazy heat we have been having. Sitting in traffic during an accident and watching the water temps climb due to lack of air flow. Guess I will see what happens and be ready to order some Tracspec vents for the hood.

I have too. My 280zt, I could just pop the hood latch and the back of the hood would raise up creating a vent. Worked like a champ.

None yet. That's what will happen to me when I get my 370ztt back. It would drive me crazy on my 1975 280zt. My 1975 hood doesn't have any vents like the 1977 and 1978 280z's did.

Yeah,i liked the vents on my 77 280.I had to do the pop the hood trick on several of my 240s and 260s.

Stuff a turbo in there and it get's even worse. One of my favorite Z's was my 1978 280z.

I have a dual Intake Air Temp gauge to keep a close eyeball on the I/C performance as well.
Makes me nervous sitting in traffic with no air flow thru the I/C watching the temps creep past the safe zone.

Tracspec vents were in stock and they are shipping out tomorrow.

MA-Motorsports recommended and installed a CSF Triple Pass radiator for my build (replacing the Mishimoto) So far - So good, although I haven't been out with the car on a really hot day the temps have been OK.
There's a lot packed in there besides the radiator looking for airflow.
The massive CJM I/C and the heat exchangers for the oil cooler and air conditioner.

Put a manual override switch on cooling fans & turn them on while in traffic,etc...but the added vents would allow the heat to get out of engine bay
