Learned SPL RTAs get in the way of Sport Calipers in the Rear. I will have to remove the RTAs every time i do a brake job in the future.

Definitely a nice part, i noticed the difference right off the bat when i went to my "Test Road".

Sport Brake Rear Converstion Attempt #2. SUCCESSFUL.

http://i65.tinypic.com/29lee6r.jpg

Second attempt went much better. New Bolts, New Caliper.

This time they didnt have messed up threads so they went right on.

Centric high carbon blacks + Carbotech XP8 rears are good to go and are slowly bedding in.

(Side note: I have 2 base model sized rear rotors i bought because when the first install was a flop i needed rotors to make it back home. If interested they have ~650 miles on them and barely even worn in. Shoot a PM if intrested.)

The ISR Single Exit exhaust was installed a while ago but i never took pictures because there was a lot to do in 1 day with limited time.

Its the ISR Single Exit + ISR Y-Pipe. I really love the sound, it gurgles and pops a lot and it has a deep rumble and no rasp whatsoever. Plus its loud which is nice.

Thanks to ISR for the opportunity to rep their brand on my car and the sponsorship opportunity :happydance:

May have finalized a few more sponsors to add to the list, and more stickers to the car.

Fingers crossed it all works out:driving:

First Track day in the Z!
 
Went to Autoclub Speedway - Roval this weekend! Broke the Z's virginity of track days. Going to become a sloppy girl for even more of them:rofl2:

Had a blast, set a good time according to the Nissan challenge guys there for what i have on the Z.

2.02.xxx on an open diff and basic suspension mods.. the open diff was killing me on the bankments and corner exit.

I feel i could have gotten a 2 flat or sub 2 if i didnt hit traffic literally every lap, but thats what happens when you go a lower class for the sake of learning the car.

Here are some cool photos from the event, Next up.. Buttonwillow :tup:

I’m digging the updates Kimosabe

I missed this post before the track day because i was pressed for time. So ill switch it up a wee bit.

The after install look with a Driven GT FIA Bucket Seat(I.E. a re branded MOMO seat) + Sparco Seat Rail setup w/ slider. Courtesy of Corner 3 Motorsports for helping me choose a good seat that fit me well.

Along with G-Force 6 point harness to keep me strapped in place for all my late braking heavy footed goodness. This was definitely a life saver at ACS.

Im too lazy to take pictures but yes, there are eyebolts for the harnesses with metal plates under the car for the proper install. I also have the Ghetto-Auto harness bar for a "Safe" mount for them. Rollbar eventually but i wanted my harness setup.

Great job at the track and yes you should be very happy your time. The Nissan Challenge gang are welcoming group of individuals. John is awesome! I participated in the fun back in August and had great time. I even got a third place plaque. I spent most of my sessions getting instruction from Steve Daughtry...it was definitely worth it! Look forward to your updates. I was at Chuckwalla Valley this past weekend and it was awesome!

That is why mine is aluminum and has splitter supports!!!

The Z earned itself an award out of 8 people last weekend. Not to shabby if i do say so myself, especially for no experience in the car.

Great showing your first time out in the 370z!

http://weknowmemes.com/generator/upl...2635666404.jpg

Bob thank you for the compliment! So we'll be seeing you at Chuckwalla then?

I would love to run there but I will be at Auto Club for the NASCAR race. My bro is part of the safety crew and we camp out in the infield and partake in all the festivities. I have to get my car to Specialty Z and hopefully he can fix my boost issue by my next NASA event. I am planning on run at Las Vegas in April.
