I do have a video! I think thats it. Ill probably have more eventually. Just for informational purposes, I never exceeded 43mph in the video. The footage looks deceptively fast

I think I may have too many pictures in this thread lol. Sorry for the pic dump guys. It would have been more informative if I would have done this thread whilst modding.

Anyway, so Ill be replacing my clutch obviously. Im worried about my 9 month old CMC since the fluid will be drained again. So my question is, has anyone rebuilt their CMC? Zspeed has a rebuild kit. It seems pretty straight forward. Pop the snap ring out and the assembly comes out. I havent heard of anyone mentioning it here on the forums. I would rather do that and have a peace of mind. $20 rather than $110.

I would do the rebuild kit. I mean they are not that complicated.

Alright. Its about time I made a thread of my journey with my Z. Im a little late on this, as I always have been with build threads. Ill have a lot of random pictures. Everyone likes pictures. Unfortunately, my pictures are of the same plain old Z lol. Nothing real special about the outside. Anyway, Im glad to be on this forum. I have learned a lot about the car. I have helped like 3 people, and I have found lots of entertainment. So Ill start on how I ended up with the 370z. My 350z got totaled. The original thread is old so Ill repost some pictures.

Here is my old 350z. Nothing real special. It had a good amount of suspension work done to it though. Just an exhaust and JWT pop charger for "go fast" goodies.





Then I got rear ended by a drunk driver on a Sunday afternoon otw to work. Bye bye 350z







So after looking for another 350z and being unable to find one, I decided to grab my 370z. Here she is the first day I got her









My first impression wasn't that great to be honest. One thing that really bothered me from the start was the latency of the throttle. The 350z throttle felt instant and the 370z felt slightly delayed and inconsistent. My 350z was also modded to where I loved the way that it drove. I could hear the exhaust. The 370z not so much. It felt so tame. Shortly after I got the 370, I decided to throw some Swift springs and SPL camber arms on it. I also got the lockout bolt kit. I ended up not using my SPC toe bolts. My toe was fine from the alignment. My camber was a little more than I wanted though. I actually never got to that and that was 2 years ago I also tried my old Work wheels from the 350z. I ended up selling them because I needed money though. I also had some Powered By Max wheel spacers. They weren't hub centric so they had a lot of vibrations. I ended up taking them off and going with Z1 spacers and ARP studs (not pictured)













Up to this point it was about March/April of 2012. Then life happened. Most of 2012 I was buying parts for an old s13 that I was building. I spent a lot of money trying to completely rebuild that car for a fun daily. Lots and lots of time was also spent to eliminate dirt and rust all over the car (and under). I messed with that thing for quite a while. Then starting 2013, I had to save for the wife mod. Weddings are expensive so that put a large damper on my car mods. So much that I ended up selling the 240 in July for waaaaay less money than I had in it. I needed it gone. Still the Z sat mostly unmodded sadly. I was driving it daily. Sept of 2013 I got married. Best woman ever. She doesn't understand my passion for cars, but she supports it mostly. Few pictures of her. I made sure to be in them so if you guys fap to her, Ill be watching you.





Still a better love story than Twilight

She looks great. Both the car and then wifey! No fapping here, im too respectful.

Got this in yesterday! Im excited. Its a shame that this has to be hidden. Im pretty sure this is singlehandedly the most expensive part on my car aside from the motor







Im hoping I can have it all put back together by next week. We will see I guess.

I have been lazy because of the cold. Im just being a sissy, its only about 25. Which isn't as cold as most places, especially since I'm in a garage. But you can rest assured this will be kept up.

Completed my ghetto HD gimmick fitting oil temp sensor install today. Seemed to work reasonably enough. Close enough that I doubt I'll bother tapping the oil pan.

Thanks for the idea
