First 370 FI Roadster??
 

Well the SC build is done with only one issue. That being that the power steering cooler in the 2010 Roadster is longer than the ones from the 09 370s so the bracket does not fit. I used an old drag racer trick to get it bodged up behind the intercooler.

Started right up Sat May 15th at 4:35 PM...

I would like to thank Alberto from the 350Z forum for two days of wrenching help, and my buddy Mike for coming over and giving me a hand on day one with the injectors. I also got a lot of moral support from Fezzik when I was having issues...

I would also like to thank Sam at GTM for putting up with me while I was being a little b1tch about things not going in right, as well as not noticing about the nut on that one bolt...

The fitment was great except that the tolerances are very tight on the brackets so it made for some choice verbiage while doing the install. It also looks like I tried to take on a Honey Badger with my hands, but I am sure that I gave enough blood to appease the car gods.

No numbers yet as I won't have a chance to get it on the Dyno till after ZdayZ. I have it already broken in and the Air Fuel looks to be spot on as far as the install manual is concerned.

Alberto and I are going to do some pulls to make sure it looks good to him later today.

Car looks great!!
How does it feel compared to stock? Is it a huge difference? Does the power come on smoothly throughout the rpm's or stronger on one end or the other?

Nice I've been waitng for somene to do an F.I. on a vert.

hey man, i just decided to pull the trigger on a SC as well.

is yours a 6mt or 7at?

how does it sound under WOT? I drove in a TT with open dumps, and it was the craziest sounding car i have ever been in. I really want something close to this.

Thanks

It sounds like an F16 on afterburners... Pulls like mad also.

If you want something that sounds crazy at boost you will not be disappointed. Not sure how much my wife is going to like it. She has not had a ride yet...

Mine is a manual, as if there was another transmission...

Congrats on the self install, the power st cooler bracket difference is related to having the vert, We will have that for you in a couple days . car is a true beauty.

Sam

Kirk, repped for a very impressive and successful self-installed SC build and congrats on being the very first 370 FI roadster :tiphat:

Nice! I have the same color, but a coupe. So that front shot shows me exactly what mine will look like if i get a GTM kit :)

Kirk, congratulations! Looking forward to seeing and hearing this new beast on Wednesday morning.:driving:

Nice Job!

Thanks Jon, Can't wait to get on the road!!!!

Super excited!!!

Thanks. Been watching your build in the FI section, major nads taking that on yourself...

Nice work, Kirk! Can't wait to see it bright and early on Wednesday morning. :driving:

Congrats, there is a roadster SC in Houston that Baker did about a month ago.
Still never got a ride in it, wonder how it all sounds with the top down.

Heh. That is why I put the question marks in the title. Not that being first means anything to me. Just happy to have an SC in the Z to join its big brother...
