Custom made air guides to help cold air travel to oil coolers and radiators. They completely solved all my overheating issues - true game changer in thermal performance. Before them, dual oil coolers (& CSF rad) were still not enough for 20 min sessions without cooling laps.


This picture alone is . . . amazeballs

It looks like all the front facia openings are directing air to coolers - where is your brake ducting coming from?

I see what I assume are custom, rectagular inlets on the lower left/right corner below each DYRL , where are those going?

Cut-outs below DRL's are for oil coolers, with outlets in wheel arches. Brake ducting cut-outs are more to the center.

Brakes cooling with 2.5 inch ducting.

The 3" brake duct hose is a PITA to route. :icon14:

Wow! amazing build!

Fantastic build! Definitely going to be looking to your car for inspiration. How did you go about extending the steering column?

I came across some of your awesome videos on YT some weeks ago when looking for ideas. Great driving and that build is amazing!

Stock steering rack is already telescopic in 370Z. It's just a matter of extending it to its maximum position and then making a bracket to lock it in the new position. It's not very hard, but this mod (together with lowering recaro seats), was a game changer in terms of seating position - you can now seat lower and further back and still have a steering wheel close to you.

the only drawback from this solution is that the extended steering column looks strange through front windshield with that huge gap, but to I don't really mind it to be honest.

Sharing suspension upgrade.

Old coilovers (KW V3):

New coilovers (Custom made 3-way, made using similar components to AST/Moton, but with even higher adjustability):

I'm starting with spring rates of 16kg front / 7 kg rear. Just in case that will be too soft, I bought extra set of springs (18kg front / 8 kg rear).

Will post an update after first track session.

Here is a video how badly KW V3 was performing on track, especially on slicks. KW is a great street suspension, but for serious track use I don't recommend it:

Also sharing radiator update.

After terrible experience with CSF, which only lasted about 1 year before it was blocked with fluid and only 50% of the surface area of radiator was actually working, I upgrade my rad to custom one. It was made in Poland and so far it has been extremely effective. I also made A/C unit a little smaller to make the rad even more effective.

In max attack mode, water stays at incredible 85°C/185°F. That results in engine oil also being much cooler. It's on different league to CSF or OEM. Here is an onboard with temp gauges:

How exactly did you pull out the steering wheel from the stock? I thought it was only adjustable up-down, not telescopic.

Steering rack is telescopic, just not adjustable out of the factory. I didn't do it myself, but from what my mechanic have told me, all he did was extend stock steering rack (100% it's telescopic) and he fabricated a bracket to lock it in the new, extended position. I'll ask him for more details and I'll post an update
