I ordered one of these and hated it. The camera is on the right side and it ***** with the camera viewing angles. the dot matrix on windshield gets in frame. with the mirror tilted towards the driver that pulls the camera back away from the windshield and you get reflections and artifacts in the frame. The video playback is pretty outdated and grainy also. Idk if you bought it already but if not might want to look at other options.

haha yes bought and installed already.
I didn't really buy it for the dashcam functionality tho. it's purely a bonus. I'm definitely not that impressed with the camera quality. I have angled the mirror towards my face straight on. So the front camera is even worse. I did that because I wanted to test using the camera as a rearview mirror. without having the glare / double image that comes from using the reflective rear view.
Honestly thinking i'm going to turn it back and have the screen turn off after 1 min. and just use it as a backup camera. probably install a phone connected dash cam at some point with better cameras.

EDIT: it actually works pretty good as a rear view mirror. I mounted it to the top of the hatch window. and the camera is wide enough to completley cover the sides of the vehicle. I have no blind spots at all. The only issue with that is the wide angle makes vehicles directly behind me look pretty far away compared to reality. Something I'm getting used to slowly, but not sure if i'm going to keep using it this way anyway.

After chatting with a guy over at Adrena Garage i'm starting to change my mind about suspension. a little. I called them because they have 2 staff that own 370z, and they race them. Guy pushed me pretty hard on the phone towards BC Forged wheels and BC racing digressive coilovers. Don't really have any interest in BC forged wheels tho. Didn't really like anything they offer, would rather save for HRE instead.

The DR/DS series of coilovers from bc racing does seem pretty good. If I understand correctly the digressive makes them feel stiffer in low speed compression, like turning into a corner and softer for high speed. like bumps and potholes?

Then I started to think about spring rates, the FEAL i was looking at are 10k/5k (true type). maybe i should up it a little bit to 12k/6k. Especially since I plan to add sound deadening and subwoofer in the rear.

Now I'm looking at coilovers I start looking at the TEIN Mono sport and EDFC Active combo. Seems really cool to have active suspension on the 370z. Though I can't find that many people that actually run this setup. Maybe for good reason... Not really sure how good the coilovers are from TIEN, it's the EDFC that intrigued me the most.

When looking at wheels I noticed theres a new tires just released. Continental ExtremeContact Force
Might try those out.







Am i right thinking this is the full SPL set for a 370z on true type coilovers? I think it's everything z1 sells anyway. They have a couple of different parts that fit the same place i think? Not sure if I've selected any conflicting parts here.

Pretty sure the shock mount bushings (5th item down for $179) are a duplicate. I believe the monoball bushing kit further down the list for $629 includes those bushings.

so I want to do the Fast Intentions TDX catback. Obviously non Nismo as my car is a base model. But I do want to do a body kit. maybe ings+ or varis arising II. Can I just buy longer "nismo" tips from FI? or is there something else different about the nismo/non nismo versions of the exhaust?

EDIT:



certainly looks like the tips are longer, but so is the pipe that connects them to the mufflers...

It is more cheddar but you could just purchase the Nismo end pipe when you are ready!

i wonder how easy it would be to sell just the end pipe. Would FI sell someone everything BUT the end pipe so they could complete their set. Or am i restricted to selling it to people that have scratched up their mufflers and are looking for new ones. Kind of makes me think it would be easier to just buy a new complete set. I guess with the wait times a lightly used FI exhaust would go for close to full price anyway. Though I do want the version with cats and 18inch resonators. Which will limit potential buyers for resale, as it doubles the cost.

Agreed! The wait time for FI exhaust is definitely a thing right now so I would just order what will fit for your plans. You already have an exhaust that works.

Hard to crack ecu really accelerated the development for ECU replacement on the Yaris wow. Whatever happened to vitviper anyway. Kind of wish someone proven and trustworthy developed a Motec firmware for the 370z.

OH lol. I guess that's good for him. When I was searching for his stuff it didn't seem like he ever brought his 370z firmware to market as a well supported, warrantied, etc, product.
