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.

travisjb · 05-21-2009, 10:02 PM

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

Ecliptech Shift Light Installation | Gorman Motorsports

... 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

Need. Flywheel. Update.

travisjb · 05-23-2009, 03:34 PM

M.Bonanni · 05-28-2009, 05:31 PM

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

LSD installed with Motul Gear 300 75-90 for break in, drain and fill with 75-140 when break in is done. Break in consists of 20 minutes of figure eights on first drive then about 100 miles of easy driving.

Clutch, flywheel, roller bearning bushing and clutch line installed...more on this tomorrow.

SPC controls arms measured perfectly. I was able to adjust caster and camber. The adjustment however is not easy.

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

miguez · 05-28-2009, 07:51 PM

M.Bonanni · 05-28-2009, 09:05 PM
