DDM Project 370Z

JWT Pop-charger intakes came yesterday and I installed them last night. Install was easy, the intakes look great, they sound great, and they feel great! Another exceptional product from JWT! Here are some pics, video coming soon...

Not yet. Trying to plan it out. The first time attack of the season is March 28-29 and I am getting married the weekend after so needless to say I am pretty busy until mid-April. There is one weekend I have available for a track day, but priority is to test the time attack 350Z first before the race. So I probably won't have the opportunity to get the 370Z on track until mid-April at the earliest.

does it rub?

M.Bonanni · 03-03-2009, 02:40 PM

No, not at all.

ssqpolo · 03-03-2009, 03:04 PM

sexy...it looks like it has more negative camber too. i dont know man. it looks so good!, but i dont live on the best roads. i scrape sometimes now!

M.Bonanni · 03-03-2009, 03:07 PM

Yeah it for sure has more negative camber in those pics. That is one of the bi-products of lowering your car. Fortunately I have the SPL Parts Pro Rear Camber Arms installed so the negative camber in the rear is fixed already. Unfortunately, I am still waiting on the front Camber arms from SPL to be released.

I finally got around to installing the Mishimoto Universal Oil Cooler Kit on the 370Z today! Fairly easy install but I did have to fab up a mounting bracket to mount it where I wanted it. Next step is to track test the oil cooler and make sure it is sufficient enough for heavy track duty. If it is, I will put together and offer a mounting kit and DIY install instructions to sell along with these oil cooler for you guys.

Hahaha, thanks man. Next up is the Odyssey PC680 battery. I will probably just mount in in the factory battery location for now until I have more time to really plan a relocation to the trunk that will be fairly easy to access and still retain use of the factory spare and tools.

Then hopefully wheels

.

what benefit of the new battery...solely weight?

Yep

Odyssey PC680 battery installed finally! I chose to keep it in the stock location for now until I find a mounting solution for the rear that retains the stock spare & tools and is easily accessible.

Holy shi*!! What's the weight on that battery? I was considering a dry cell.

EDIT: Nevermind, I searched google....not bad
