So today I will receive the rest of what I had needed to complete the installation. I got 2 new pre-cat sensors, 20 gauge wire (as MD suggested), and heat sleeve for the wires. I hope that I will receive the gold wrap as well today, but I don't think it will happen.

As soon as my mechanic starts work, I will check for the nearest appointment for tunning.

Also, I prepared my self for the track days with Garmin Vibe XE Auto Bundle and Vbox Sport.

Received the car today, I missed the car and the manual gear :)

Tomorrow will tune the car on a heartbreak Mustang Dyno lol

AlWakRa 10-18-2016 02:46 PM

My first startup of the car after the mods, sorry for the dirty car :p it was parked there for more than a week waiting for parts.

sounds nice AlWakRa

AlWakRa 10-19-2016 01:56 PM

Thank you Scott, Yeah I liked how the tone has been changed from the HFC and I feel the car is a bit quieter at idle.

Anyway I got tuned and the tuner was excited about the results, it will follow when I upload the video and photos.

I had a problem with the video editing so I am just writing the results for now until I sort it out.

We got a baseline dyno with the parts installed on a very low reading Mustang Dyno, I got 268whp and 230wtq. After tune, the result was 300whp and 260wtq. Comparing it to other cars on his dyno, my car posted the highest HP and TQ for a bolton 370z on his dyno.

He had tuned a different 370z with HKS CBE, FI LTH, and Stillen Gen3, posted 294whp and 240wtq.

I wanted to take a comparison graph before and after tune but the system was having issues with it :confused:

This shows that we had 300 previous run but tried again directly to get TQ numbers correctly.

More laps from trackdays @ Losail International Circuit, but not pushing to the limit.

Not sure why Garmin OBD2 accessory not working properly.

After the last two trackdays I realized that I should got coilovers and CJM RRP earlier. So, I made a short list for what to buy.

- Coilovers (need to decide soon on which one)
- SPL Front Camber Arm, Rear Camber Link, Rear Traction Link, Lockout kit, and x2 Adjustment Wrench. (anything more needed!!)
- CJM Road Race Pump.
- CL Brakes RC6 pads front and rear.
- Z1 2-piece Rear Sprinkle Slotted Rotors
- Clutch Flywheel Combo (not sure of brand)
- RJM Clutch Pedal
- RJM HD CMC
- ZSpeed CMAK CSC Delete
- Zspeed 370Z V2 Alumninum Engine Splash Shield
- CJM Active Baffle Oil Pan.
- Powertrix addon spoiler.
- Side blades.
- Front lip, should see options available after not getting the evo-r front lip.

I think these what I should go with in order.

AlWakRa 12-04-2016 03:47 AM

So, currently waiting for some parts to arrive,

Z1 Solid Engine mounts and urethane gear mount
ZSpeed under shroud cover
RJM clutch pedal and master cylinder
SPL front camber arm, rear camber link, traction link
CJM Road Race Fuel Pump

Still looking into buying

Carbon Signal addon spoiler
Zeal Function X coilover


Also, had a change of mood at the track taking my daily driver and what an experience, I has been amazed at the performance out of the box, being completely stock and very heavy car, to match my 370z time while getting used to it, beating it by 4 seconds when I pushed it.

What I figured is, having a dependable brake system is fantastic and give you confident (6 pots Brembos with 15.4 inch rotors), I didn't notice understeer, the car is balanced :tiphat: to dodge for the efforts.

tbh it made me think about the Z and all the efforts and investments in it :rolleyes: but considering cost of running on the track, this is where it fall apart, tires and brakes will wear quicker, and they are more expensive than the Z. I hope I will get the same feel after getting coilovers, better alignment and later on less staggered tires.

and here is a video from 2nd session where I got my best lap time.

Some footage from yesterday track day, after changing my rear swaybar stiffens to max, made a huge difference in entering and exiting the turns. I was easy on the brakes as I couldn't trust them :eekdance: I think I can do less than 2:30 with my next upgrades on current tires, PSS, which will be impressive. Anything less than 2:30 is awesome as most people I saw there achieve it with better compound like R888, SportCup, AD08R, RS3 and others with less than 200 treadwear with better cars like Porsche, Lotus, M-power, prepared 86, corvette and similar cars. Unfortunately, I don't have other Z drivers who attend regularly to compare.
