It is hitting me hard without considering any fancy bodykits.

Forgot to include this, Zspeed CMAK for OS Giken clutches



Also, I have RJM HD CMC and CJM fuel pump hat such a beautiful piece, shame it will be hidden, even my mechanic is impressed with it.

So after I posted the photos, I have a little time to summarize the work that is in progress.

1- Transmission:
OS Giken HTR2CD (more hardcore than STR but less than TR and TS if I remember correctly).
Zspeed CMAK CSC delete
RJM HD CMC
Fresh oil and clutch fluid (MT85 & SRF)

2- Differential:
Also OS Giken
Nismo Final drive ratio 3.9
SPL diff bushings
Z1 high capacity diff cover
Z1 subframe collars
All new bearings, sleeves, seals
OS Oil

3- Brakes and hubs:
All axles new Z1 rotors ring
Front Carbotech XP10 and XP8 rear
All axles new wheel hubs
ARP extended studs
10mm rear spacers (to get front +22 offset and rear +12)
And open end lug nuts for the extended studs

4- MOAR Cooling:
Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator
Infiniti G37 thermostats (10 degree less than 370z)
Z1 hoses
Nissan blue antifreeze + Mocool

5- Others:
New fuel pump + CJM hat
SuperPRO Urethane Bushes - front lower arm - rear control arm - rear trailing arm.
Fresh Castrol Edge 0w40
Nismo oil filter
Fresh Motul ATF for power steering
and finally installed my R888R on ZE40

will take the chance to clean air intake filters. Also, will get new corner balance.


Currently, the transmission has been finished, the diff looked like near finish when I passed by, the hubs-brakes were in progress as well as fuel pump, rest are pending. I hope tomorrow or Thursday the car will be ready.


This was the big upgrade I was hoping to do during last summer, but the accident delayed all plans, nevertheless, it is happening now and I am very excited to see the results.

Cannot beat that TT build of yours, done by one of the best in business


But it is so deep, I started feeling it, specially with all shipping expense

Those sexy wheels welcome back on the car



And I am still able to amaze my workshop with new parts one of my friends and a very old member who sold his 370z a long time ago, was looking in his store and found these, called me and I snapped them



Rear subframe and diff still down, needed shims and luckily found them at dealer. Also, rear sway bar will get back on the car, as I feel current stagger setup needs them badly.



Those are finished, I know they are only studs but they looks awesome



Radiator in place as well



Took the chance to clean the filters.



I think I need new hoses, found them cracked in some places and have been taped as a quick fix.




The bad news, there is only 5 trackdays left this season, one is tomorrow that I cannot participate in (maybe will use the srt or use a friend car) and four autox events, not sure if they will add more events later on. I need to finish it quickly and break in the clutch.

So got back to the track with my stock Charger SRT 392, destroyed the brakes in the process and I need new pads, rotors and fresh fluid wasn't pushing very hard due to bad brake pads (powerstop z26 where I read they match oem stop power, they aren't worth the try but tempted to their price tag) and sport SUV street tires.




No updates to my 370z status.
