adalsky 03-25-2010 11:49 PM

Would you please take a picture of your video camera mount? I'm going to try and buy/make one. Also, what camera are you using for your track vids? Thanks - Adam

RCZ, in reference to the AC leak/Stillen G3 intake issue...a couple pages back you included pictures of the G3 intake on the driver's side. Just to the outside of the intake tube, I see a silver metal pipe that runs vertically with two slightly smaller tubes coming from it that run horizontally underneath the intake tube. Was the leak in one of these tubes? The one closer to the front or rear? People have been saying to use fuel line hose to wrap the AC line...are they referring to one or both of these horizontal tubes?

VancouverZ34 04-08-2010 10:34 PM

how do you turn off your navigations @ youtube track video??

Pulled the trigger on S/C?. Def will be keeping an eye on your journal thread. g/l

RCZ 04-22-2010 06:39 PM

Alright, update with pics this time.

As some of your already know, I have the pre-ordered the Stillen SC kit. It should be arriving soon as per Stillen's post on the their thread. So I have been busy ordering supporting mods.

I would like to acknowledge the people/vendors/companies who have made this build possible:

- Stillen
- Horsepower Logic
- Coz @ Concept Z Performance
- Ryan @ ProSport Performance Gauges
- Lou @ LouFuszNissan

So far I have:

- ProSport Premium EGT / AFR / Boost
- OEM CSC Unit (this must be replaced when you swap the clutch)
- ZSP CSC Sleeve Fix

Waiting for:

- Southbend Stage 4 + Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum flywheel. -

I have been told over and over by completely different people that this is the clutch to go with. Holds up to tons and tons of abuse and has a stock feel to it.

I got an amazing deal for the clutch. If you are looking to buy one, PM me and I'll give you the details.

For some pictures:

Clutch should arrive Monday or Tuesday. I will have pictures of it when I get it.

updates also on my blog.

Mike 04-22-2010 07:06 PM

nice! can't wait til you get it all installed.

370Zsteve 04-22-2010 07:11 PM

in for updates, finally RCZ gets his Supercharger :tiphat:

370zForever 04-22-2010 10:46 PM

Bout time they gave u ur supercharger...jk...Can't wait to see ur setup. By the way, RCZ, are u still thinking about the OS Giken LSD because it's my most preferred LSD at the time??? I've heard great reviews and hope they will make a specific LSD for the 370z soon. Tell me if you got some info on it so I can find out more...

Thanks

travisjb 04-22-2010 10:49 PM

I think there is an OS Giken out for us already. I would love to get it, but its not a priority. If I got an LSD I might opt for the Carbonetics 1.5 that has worked so well for folks on here already.

Yeah, I know what u mean, POWER is the priority right now!!!

RCZ 04-26-2010 04:01 PM

Well, power is useless if you can't put it to the ground! Soo here's another update:

  • UPDATE 4/26/10
Southbend Stage 4 Clutch arrived from CZP today. I also received my Fidanza Light Weight aluminum flywheel. You can check out the pictures of the full package below.
http://www.370zreport.com/wp-content...um-150x150.jpg
Full Clutch Package

Weight of the complete flywheel:
http://www.370zreport.com/wp-content...um-150x150.jpg
Fidanza Flywheel Weight 15.2lbs

I wanted to show you all why there is a CSC problem. Notice in this picture, the stock CSC without the ZSP fix does not make proper contact with the pressure plate teeth.
http://www.370zreport.com/wp-content...um-150x150.jpg
Stock CSC barely makes contact with teeth

Here are a few more showing how the fix solves this issue.

CSC With ZSP Fix - Success!

It appears that the only thing missing now is the supercharger :)

NewYorkJon34 04-26-2010 05:45 PM

Hey, how much did you stiffen your kws, I had mine installed today & the guy just straight installed them. I'm going to wait a week & go back for a realignment/height adjust/and stiffen the KWs a little bit. Any advice on how to adjust these so they are perfect? or is it just adjust height, stiffen, and your done...?

RCZ 04-26-2010 06:12 PM

Umm...ok. Don't wait a week to get an alignment...your alignment might be completely whacked out right now. Or at leat don't drive the car too much. KW's come preset with awesome settings from the factory, I hope you guys didnt screw around with it. You only have to adjust height and get an alignment...

NewYorkJon34 04-26-2010 09:25 PM

Thanks Rcz, ya I didnt even touch the stiffness at all, im glad to hear the height is all I need to adjust, It was too low, then it was adjusted atad higher, cus I figured it will lower when the springs settle plus I have the F.I. exhaust. I already got an alignment after they installed it. So with yours did you just adjust the height?

ZForce 04-26-2010 11:43 PM

I want RZC's job! He's gotta hava phat job to fund all these goodies at once. Should I take out some stock on 370zreport.com

yes all I did was change the ride height. Be advised they settle around 1/4 inch and that is a lot. Lowered like I am I already scrape the crossmember on big speedbumps, don't lower your car too much because you'll kill the fi.

B jellus hehe. it's not that great. I just got a gf too so that might be the end of my modding spree. Im actually sitting at a trade show in Lima, Peru right now. Free wifi and 2 hours to kill though so I'm on here. As far as taking out stock, yeah soon as I have my ipo I'll let you know. I actually just posted a 370z intake roundup on 370zreport. You guys should check it out and give me some feedback. I am also looking for collaborators who want to send me some content. I'm about to add a "commentary" section to post 370z related opinions and such, less factual, just thoughts.

You guys can always comment on there too, I'd appreciate some love on there to help it grow.

theDreamer 04-27-2010 02:44 PM

If you need some help on the website, report back on products, etc. let me know.
Waiting on everyone to get the superchargers on, I like testing products but forced induction I am not 100% ready to be a tester on that.

RCZ 04-27-2010 03:02 PM

Oh yeah, I mean I would like to get some exclusive feedback from you guys about products and stuff. I would like the report to be by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. Meaning that we can all the the a b and c from company marketing piece, but I think there is more value from the personal experiences that folks have. So yeah I want to post news and objective stuff about new products, but I think it's much more interesting to read some commentary. So yes, I would like some support from you all. Product reviews, thoughts on certain issues, problem fixes, product reviews, company reviews, etc etc

semtex 04-27-2010 03:34 PM

Hey Raul you saw I posted the dyno sheets for my LTHs, right? Feel free to use 'em for your blog. Hit me up if you want me to help with an article or whatever. Also, I now have the F.I. CBE on order, so I'll be doing an F.I. CBE vs. Stillen CBE comparo (and from the perspective of someone who already has the LTHs to boot!).

RCZ 04-27-2010 05:12 PM

Very cool, yes I will want that for sure! We'll talk when I get back from my business trip. I did not see them yet, but I will check them out asap.
