BC ER coilovers are on my mod list as well.

Update on traqmate / chasecam... I just tested it in my daily driver... did a few laps around the block... camera and traqmate sync'd up perfectly... it was really easy to get a combined video once I got back home... shouldn't be any problem dropping it in for my next event

wanted to also share a few pics that were taken of my last event at PIR... enjoy

Update: just ordered B&M short shifter kit from Mike at DDM. Thanks Mike!

Can't wait to see some videos from the ChaseCam!

travisjb · 05-11-2009, 05:48 PM

I forgot to mention, just bought a tow hook from GT Motoring !

Thankfully, haven't had to use it yet !

theDreamer · 05-11-2009, 06:01 PM

Travis, were you getting a new flywheel or something, any updates if that has been installed and thoughts?

eXo5 · 05-11-2009, 06:04 PM

new motor??? what happened?

RCZ · 05-11-2009, 06:20 PM

I wish I had the gt motoring tow hook over the weekend......couldve def used it.

How much did the traqmate run you? I want one

JWT flywheel and clutch should be showing up this week c/o DDM... prob not in time for my PCA event this weekend, but the next one... I will also provide commentary based on street driving once they are in

Long ugly story, one that I'm not entirely free to comment on... Has been discussed on other threads. Lessons learned are to make sure all your oil cooler bits are tightened down and stop the car instantly if you ever detect a pressure loss. Let's just leave it at that. Thanks.

Sharif hooked me up on this one... recommend you contact him... his shop is like 5 mins away from the mfgr... after calling several resellers, I'm convinced the mfgr has pretty tight 'reseller price maintenance' practices, so hard to find deals... you might also check ebay for used.... I purchased with a chasecam and other accessories - again, Sharif can fill you in on what you'll need for a complete package

miguez · 05-11-2009, 06:46 PM

Hey Travis,

My bad, who's Sharif?

Also, significant body roll on those pictures (which are AWESOME by the way, could make a couple of posters, huh?), I was wondering if you already had the sway bars installed then?

RCZ · 05-11-2009, 06:48 PM

OK, Ill talk to Shariff.

umm, well remember I said the fuel gauge is inaccurate on the 370z? yeah...kinda ran out of gas on the track...luckily it was at the end of the session...got flat-bedded back to the pits. Laugh it up.

travisjb · 05-11-2009, 06:52 PM

Sharif at Forged Performance... he's one of board sponsors

Yes, sway bars were installed when those pics were taken last weekend... can only expect the sway bars to accomplish so much though without any changes to the rest of the suspension... I think once I have the coilovers in, I should be in good shape and will be in a better position to judge if the sway bars are matched well for 10/12k springs

Laugh? I wouldn't laugh! But I do think we need to look at a more fuel efficient track car for you RCZ... maybe this one, but with a supercharger!
