Even though untested I decided to post up a new mini article on my website and blog featuring Part 1 of my 370Z's planned cooling mods.

Unfortunately I have no clue haha. I had mine installed by a professional. Try and find someone local to you that does car wraps and see if they will do a cheap install for you. Some stuff like the roof and other relatively flat surfaces are probably fairly easy installs, but the rear valance is not something I would tackle on my own.

Travis, did you ever get to replace your glass with the Lexan?

yup. rear window only. haven't found a good solution for the windshield yet so leaving the oem glass for now. side windows are void.

i added a couple walkthrough vids on my journal just now if you want to see.

cool stuff Travis! Dumb question, how does your engine rev to 9.5k while our engine rev to 7.5k at most. does M370 manifold contribute?

ChrisSlicks · 07-09-2011, 07:09 PM

It's just a telemetry error.

kevin.z · 07-09-2011, 07:27 PM

ok. i just noobbed out lol.

Just found out that my car will be invited to SEMA this year to be on display in the BC Racing Suspension/Wheels booth!

Look for a new set of 19" BC Racing Wheels coming soon...these ones to be exact...

Now to find some more sponsors to help me make the Z prettier to look at...

Cool, see you there again!

I could powdercoat your strut brace to match the calipers if you want.

Hmmm...while it would look cool, I am pretty sure my hood will be closed the whole time. BC is using my car to promote their new line of wheels though so I may sending you the calipers for a re-coat if they get burnt up on track before then.

Since the wheels will get the attention, the calipers need to look good!

Nice invite

Mike · 07-12-2011, 02:02 PM

no problem on that either!

Odyssey Batteries has hopped on board as a SEMA sponsor this year! For those that recall, I had their PC680 lightweight battery in my Z the last time I built it and had zero issues with it so I went for the same thing again. The battery weighs 21 lbs. less than the stock battery which is awesome, especially considering the location of the stock battery, which is an excellent place to lose weight from. I also got their universal hold-down kit this time as I sold my last one with the old battery when I went back to stock. Their new hold-down kit is incredible looking and very well engineered. For now, I will mount it in the stock location for the sake of simplicity and ease. Eventually, when I am farther along with this build, I will re-locate the battery to an ideal place for weight distribution, likely in the trunk area or behind the passenger seat, but we'll have to wait until I get to that point to put it on the scales and see where it would be the most beneficial. My favorite part about this battery is that it doesn't add any modification points in N.A.S.A. Time Trials!
