Hey guys, guess it's a good time to join and start posting.

I was really wondering about the strange charge piping and see that it's been changed to a more normal setup.

I'm curious Ryan what made you decide to go with 3" piping now. I measured the throttle bodies O.D. to be about 2.70", so I went with 2.75" piping for my cold pipes. You had to use some reducer couplers I assume, unless the Z TBs are different from my G37?

I am up by Pensacola.

Teaseer video coming in a few mins :)

:excited:

haha whoa thats kinda nuts bro. awesome!

hahahah 40-60 is just ridiculous!! that thing revs so fast.. I don't think TTs rev this fast nor come in as strong...at what psi was that?

Holy crap that thing is wild! Awesome bro :tup:

You want to come pick me up for a ride? :p :roflpuke2:

Thats a fast car...wow

Holy crap!! I swear I've watched/shown that video a good 30 times in the last 10 minutes.

yay for wheel spin! sounds nice n strong bud

Looks good, Ryan! :tup:

looks like she's running strong bro :tup:

All I can say is wow! That thing is nuts. I was wondering, "why 2nd gear?" until I saw how it blasted off. I have a lot of work to do.......

Sick car... ! Custom single turbo build ftw! Route i will b taking !

Thanks, everyone :tup:

I think I've watched it more than everyone combined. After all the troubles I've had, it keeps putting a smile on my face. Can't wait to take this beast down the 1/4. With as good as the tune seems now, I'm tempted.

That made me make this face:

Thank you for the speedo shot, I love seeing these types of videos and there are unfortunately not that many out there of FI'ed Zs accelerating.

Im glad it all worked out for your Ryan!!

So driving home today...normally, not boosting...I pull away from a red-light and almost stall. I thought to myself "that's weird?" Then I notice there's only so little pressure maybe for an inch off the ground and then after that, there is no pressure. At one point, it was stuck to the ground.

Does this mean my Master Cylinder is bad?:mad: I already have the upgraded CSC. I can't fuggin win!!

sounds like it, I am waiting for mine to go as well. now that I'm not boosting this stage 4 clutch/pressure plate seems like a bad idea.

Sounds like the master cylinder. As soon as I got my car running after adding the turbos mine went bad as well. Got it replaced under warranty though and has been fine since :tup:

hot damn man...

How did you get it covered under warranty?

It's a known issue. They may or may not feel like being nice, but it's worth an ask

Like Red_Zed was saying, it's a fairly common issue I guess. Jason brought it in for me and since he works with the dealership quite a bit, they treat him pretty well. Mine didn't even have the front bumper on at the time, so it was pretty clear the car was modified lol.

got mine covered too :)

I'll have to give it a shot and hope I have the luck you guys have had. I drove it to breakfast this morning and it was better.

Ummm, huh? You have the Southbend or Zspeed CSC? Have you checked for leakage? Wassup with the GREMLINS and YOUR CAR dude? Beat'em off with a stick if you have to. You are making me nervous......

Hopefully, you can get some warranty work done and your ride will be back to shredding pavement.

There isn't a southbend CSC, only Zspeed makes them. The only other type of CSC are the ones made for OS Giken clutches.

Are you sure about that? I contacted them myself about the all metal CSC and they said that they make one for our application. It isn't on their website though. I am sure that there are others, but I stopped looking once I found Southbend and Zspeed.

Zerolift has been working with Competition Clutch to get an alternative to the OS Giken Twin Plate that should be released soon (or may be available now), but I will know for sure once I get my invoice and track down the parts listed. Thanks for the input though.........

I have an ACT 6-puck clutch, Fidanza flywheel, and the ZSpeed HD CSC. I drove the car last night and the clutch was back to normal pressure. Even boosted it a few times and no problems? I'm going to be stupid and take it to the 1/4 mile Thursday as long as it doesn't rain.... My boost gauge showed 11.9psi last night:stirthepot:

Mine does something similar. Full pedal feel in the morning, afternoon trip only a few inches of pedal. By the time I get back home, I'm back up to full pedal feel. I suspect its the master cylinder :( I'm going to have to try and get the dealer to warranty it too.

Good luck Ryan! :tup:

so you should be over 500whp....:yum:

but srsly... get the clutch issue checked... I don't wanna hear about you on the news... for the wrong reason...

Ditto......

we lub you bro !don't get kjlled
