Good question... I thought the first set was from the 08-09 g37 too...

First set was for the G37 coupe. The 370Z and G37 coupe have the same upper control arms (same part number), SPC figured that the G37 coupe kit would fit which it did mechanically, but the 370Z strut body is lower than the G37 coupe hence the clearance issues. The G37 sedan control arms are shorter.

The G37 sedan control arms fit perfectly on the 370Z, but we have not yet performed a full set up and measure to assure that they can be used on the 370Z, I'll keep you guys posted.

Ok, thanks for the update Robert!

Please do it soon :)

Maybe Travis can tell us how well it fits...

Well, we now have confirmation that the part fits (g37 sedan part)... re how well it fits, as Robert said, won't know until we work on setup... could be as soon as tomorrow, but may roll into next week

RCZ 05-21-2009 08:58 PM

OK sir.

Redline talked me out of the defi gauge and talked me into a spa gauge that is dual water temp / oil pressure... 52mm so should fit... black face, amber backlight, so should match rest of them

I'm thinking about also installing one of these

... if anyone has strong opinions on shift lights, I'm all ears ! Also, where to mount !??

ssqpolo 05-21-2009 10:27 PM

i mean, its a cool light, but y do u need it? also, isnt there already a shift light in the tach?

RCZ 05-21-2009 10:59 PM

Our cars don't rev fast enough for those hehe. Well maybe yours does now :)

travisjb 05-21-2009 11:31 PM

maybe i'm going overboard huh ? :) less of a powerband drop off in this car, so for that reason too may not be needed

Still, I don't always get my timing right...

Will give it some more seat time, and if I don't get my timing sorted out by fall, will add one of these

travisjb 05-23-2009 03:34 PM

This week, promise !

M.Bonanni 05-28-2009 05:31 PM

Any more news on the clutch/flywheel, LSD, and front control arms?

travisjb 05-28-2009 07:24 PM

unfortunately not yet... I am scheduled to pick up the car tomorrow, but my shop hit a snag as the alignment machine wasn't working properly... but I think we're still on track for tomorrow... after I drive it home, I will post here on first impressions! then another update over weekend perhaps with video
