Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

You know that car has metric bolts, mostly grade 10.9 & I’ve seen some 12.9’s At work we have a bin with 8.8’s & 10.9’s.....the 9.8’s are a bit uncommon.

Hopefully I won’t be covered with rust underneath mine/ as I don’t live up north or near the coast

You know, I already have to cut the F.I. exhaust for vbands. If either the exhaust or diff brace need to get hacked, they will.

I was completely wrong stating grade 7. It was actually 8.8.

I know, that's why I still need to get mine to you so you can work your magic on it.

It's like 30 bucks a vband and you would need 6. A fabrication shop could cut the flanges off easy enough and weld them on. Probably a 500 - 600 dollar project all farmed out. I'd say go for it. It will keep life easy taking the car apart when servicing.

IG@gbrettin
Wrapped up the installation for the diff brace. Thought I'd be proactive and look at a problem area for Z cars for rust. Guess what I found on the passenger side! Yup.... I ground as much as I could back and then used a rust stopper and epoxy primer. I'll come back and spray it black and then put 3M rubber coating on. The driver's side was perfect. I sealed it off anyway. ��*♂*

----------------------------------------------------------

My wife asked me why I was making all these posts. She was trying to connect the dots as to how this ties into profits, she works in sales. My response was simple, "I like to share." Now, to someone that is goal oriented towards money that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Next question from her: "how many people are following your build?". ... I laughed (on the inside). To which I respond with " about 5 people that I know of on the forum and I get about 25 likes typically on IG."

I was talking to a person and they were showing me their nitrous installation on Facebook Messenger. I exchanged a photo of my Nitrous installation and he started laughing. The guy said he used my build as a baseline for his car.

So yeah... I don't post this stuff for Internet fame/cloute or intentions of making money. It's really about information sharing or inspiring someone to do something with their 370z.

And for the 5 people that consistently have been watching my misguided shenaniganss= for the last 1.5year. - Thanks!

I also post all this stuff so I can eventually see the unique Tags:

Anti-Seize, when you feel like being nice to your self or the next guy down the road.


There was all sort of debris hanging out in this pocket. Perfect for rust to start.





The bond is so strong between the can and lid I had to leave it on. I just poured it on and used a brush to get into all the spots.




Driver's side appears to be good. I cleaned it up and sealed it anyway.




It was kind of a PITA to get the subframe connectors on by myself.




There is an order to put stuff back on. This isnt it.

I hop on here exclusively to check the classified section, and to see how this build is progressing.

I love watching a good build come together.

Getting the hang of video editing. I have a good video of the diff brace install and subframe collar install. Hopefully I will get that posted sometime soon. I'll continue to do both pictures and also include video at some point.

Here's a short unboxing of the v-bands:

Touched off a bit of spray paint and then hit the areas with 3M rubber liner. Came out great!

---------------------------

I checked on the epoxy primer and it came out great. That's pretty easy when it doesn't need to turn out nice. A quick coat of black was applied and then about 10min later I blasted it with 3M wheel liner and attempted to blend it a bit.

From last weekend. Well, it's definitely a video. I'm looking forward to doing future videos better.

Man, it was great seeing everyone and I was happy to do the show and tell. What's even better is that I was able to get in-person feedback. From what I can tell it was all positive. However, if anyone has anything they didn't like... I'm all ears!

One thing I really liked was seeing Rusty's Finite Element fender vents. They look overwhelming in pictures but they look great in person, basically justified my purchase.

Madwi, thanks for the quick rip in the turbo Z! I loved it (excitement over flowed with me screaming out the window.)
