I was racing the clock now, with a dyno tune scheduled for the 26th of December @ RT Tuning. My Christmas gift from the wife was 63mm throttle bodies. My in-laws gave me Z1 Bushing Inserts.

I picked up the z1 intake upgrades, and modified my crash bar using a sawzall and metal cutting blade. Welded it at my shop.

Testing the fit after the sawsall cuts - I wasn't entirely sure how my fabrication was going to turn out.

Dyno completed on December 26th! Results were about where I expected to be. Vince was also kind enough to give me my dyno results overlayed against a stock 370z to show comparative gains, since I didn't have a baseline.

334 whp / 278 wtq.

Somewhere in there, I found time to dynomat my trunk and wheel wells. OldGrayDog, also a forum member, pointed me in the right direction with a knock-off brand product that is every bit as good as dynomat, and a fraction of the price. But I won't tell you what it is.

Because I can't remember. Looks like I'll have to check my private message archives.

Zspeed undershroud, added shortly after Christmas. Mostly what I remember about this install is my hands were so cold I lost feeling. An unheated garage is painful in the winter.

That was the last of my modding for a little while, until the weather got warm again. Z1 Bushing Collar Inserts went in sometime in March or April, when I had a random warm day to do it. No pictures of that install. It was mostly me on my back trying to figure out how to drop the necessary parts of my suspension, and not drop them on me.

Pro-tip: Supporting your differential is key! I did successfully install them. My impressions - not enough change for me to notice, but my launches seem a bit more solid with less wheel hop.

I followed that with the Z1 poly transmission mount. Now THAT was a winner. Better launches by far and incredibly easy install. I still have some engine mounts, but I have no interest in installing those... probably will wind up in the classifieds once I remember to take a picture.
