Great news.

Thanks Stan.

Yes, it works fine... contact BC racing and they can provide an adapter that was made for g37/370z's to use standard swift springs... can't remember exactly which length I used but I will tell you that I wish I had gone 1" shorter on the springs as I have to adjust them to the lowest perch setting to get the proper rear ride height... at 16K there is effectively no sag... I'd guess I got the 7" springs and should have gone with 6"... will double check later

I'll give them a call on Monday. I'm at 12k/10k with a 6" Swift in the front. The regularly provided spring is 8". I'm not sure of the regular rear height, but I'll get it sorted out. Thanks for the info.

Great. Will be curious to see how the 6" works if that's what you try... with the added length of the adapter and the very low sag of the 16k spring, guessing 6" is the proper spring length for the rear, but can't say for certain until you try it!

Travis,

How are ya doing? How is the car treating ya? Have you weighed the car lately. Just curious what your weight is now that you have completely stripped it bare? How is the racing going?

Things are good... car is in the shop for some work to get it classed in a lower category until next year... I've been about 50 whp short for my class, so it's for the best...

3175 with driver and fuel and I think there's potential to remove ~150 pounds still, including resolving fuel starvation! So it's getting there

Very impressive build...I just read through roughly all of the 69+ pages.

Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully generates ideas for you guys to build some parts... matching poly mounts for motor, trannie, diff?

FUEL STARVATION UPDATE:

Anyone interested in this issue and the fix can now contact Richard at:

Richard@nohotwireracing.com

He can provide all the answers to your questions regarding the fuel starvation issues that we all have been experiencing. No phone calls please.

I hope to have my tank sent to him soon. It will take 2-3 weeks for the work to be done on my car. Pricing is still not available yet.

Travis, when we shut the car off and pull the key the dash lights stay on. Have you encountered this in your build? Wondering if the PCM is going south on me. Also, I have no control over the ACS system. It's always off.

Thanks!
Stan

Not sure I can help with this, maybe others can comment... Have you removed any codes stored on the ECU? I generally leave the key in and just cycle through the start button... when I do that, it consistently shuts down properly... so, not something I have encountered... assuming you've tried waiting a few minutes to see what happens? Re "ACS system"... HVAC, cruise control or something else? pls clarify
