Agreed. Now, I should mention that I am conveying information discussed over the phone, which is always dangerous... once we have pictures, should be more clear exactly which part and we can discuss which kit it came out of and which mfgr I have to thank.

Good to know... I also need to hook up an aftermarket oil pressure gauge... been meaning to do that for a while now

At first I was about to say "Why would the in/out-flow direction of the sandwich plate fittings matter?", because I guess it doesn't for Setrab-like coolers. I'm guessing the coolant exchanger you went to cares?

standby on this... may be the oil filter relo plate, or another that was not previously installed before the SC kit... and my component may be a 1-off error (mfgr error) as opposed to something widespread (design error)... will report back when I have more

Another update...

You all know the long awaited fuel starv product that has been discussed for two+ years now... well, I think we've got a simpler solution coming together on my car with full intention to quickly productize... that's all I can say for now - more later

^ not trying to be controversial, just wanted you all to know there's another option in development

So, here's the long awaited (at least by me! ) dyno plot for my SC... bear in mind that I reverted back to the smaller blower



There is no difference in configuration for run1 and run2... only thing that changed was HEAT SOAK... unfortunately if my car is impounded after a race it will be dyno'd cold... but in reality I will be running at the lower whp levels during a hot lap... so looks like I'm going to have to tune for 370 whp and ballast weight for 390whp to hit my weight/whp target.

Thing that's ironic to me is that your dyno pull is almost exact replica of mine with a Street legal Stillen kit and tune. Our cars must feel fairly similar on power.

Are you loving that boost on longer straights? My only gripe with 370z was lack of power on straights. With 400 WHP almost puts us in running with newer Porsche gt3s. I hacent tracked the car yet but in ax on faster straights I love that extra pull!

How are temps for you? I really think mild boost is way to go for VQ 37 crowd who keep the heads crazy robo cams. That way you keep revs at stock levels.

I'm thinking supercharged Z with higher boost pulley with boost relief valve might be real nice car for NASA TT. Have you looked at 928 motorsports boost relief valves? Wonder if they are reliable? I'm really thinking that is way to go as you can grab maximum low end boost and control upper end boost.

ZCG made a bunch of mods to my car this past week. zCG added vacuum booster and fixed my ice mode issues, Rob fabbed a fuel starve fix too with pump on saddle side and a little fuel can on other side. Switch the pump on during competition to keep fuel on pickup side. Added Nissan motorsports radiator, pulled AC, installed lightweight flywheel, upgraded clutch and throwout bearing. Interior stripped from seats back.

Mon-Tue will be interesting... hoping I didn't waste $600 on track day registration... going to be running VIR in 100+F temps. This will be a true test of my new cooling system (and driver!)

Hey my SRM is not working. Given all the car's been through recently, it's a minor casualty. But I do like the option of using it - particularly on a track that is new to me. Anyone know what the likely causes are? I'm imagining there's a wiring harness somewhere that was left disconnected. Which part of the service manual calls out the SRM-related wiring harnesses? Other possible causes you all can think of? THANKS!

did you do rear gears? I have heard that will make it not work, which is why I stayed with stock gearing on the diff change.

Chin is expensive but you do get lots of track time. Hope everything works!

Part of the SRM is mentioned in the transmission manual (gate sensors and calibration), not sure if there is a mention anywhere else.

If it were the gears that were the problem then you would be able to initially turn SRM on but then it would disable itself after driving when the speeds weren't as expected.
