4x8 sheet is only $120. I'm getting it. And it's local.

martin82 04-04-2013 12:23 PM

same, that's what i'll be doing, our cars are very easy to make a splitter actually, ton of places for bracing to add L shape brackets!

SPOHN 04-04-2013 12:27 PM

I want to have something that's secure but can be removed fast

martin82 04-04-2013 01:06 PM

easy, mount some L shape brackets to the crash bar, then use stock location bolts, also where the undertray clips on you can convert those to bolts/nuts and just tack weld the nuts its pretty obvious once you look at it.
to get you an idea this is how we installed my friend's s2000 front splitter to make it adjustable, it is also adjustable front/to rear +/- about 1-2"

Noice

martin82 04-04-2013 01:16 PM

we can do similar with our crash bar up front

travisjb 04-04-2013 05:28 PM

L bracket design is great... i use quick release clips on mine that could be incorporated with L brackets for speedy on/off

martin82 04-04-2013 05:46 PM

Travis, any upclose pictures of your splitter? thanks

SPOHN 04-04-2013 05:54 PM

I to want to see these clips your talking about?

travisjb 04-04-2013 06:09 PM

car is off site right now... clips are quick release style where you squeeze bith sides then can swing latch open... spring within keeps ~20 lbs of pressure even once you squeeze in sides... cant remember where i sourced - maybe summit?

broke my arm this week btw, so won't be able to make chin ra event! sucks typing 1 hand too!

you can do google image search for travisjb 370z and may find some pics... also a few months ago i posted vid walkaround of my car on journal and clips should be visible there

youtube vid... dont see clips unfortunately

I have a hard time picturing what you have. Hard to search Summit without exact name. I can't find anything that seems to work. Google just not helping.

martin82 04-04-2013 07:41 PM

Check these out for bike fairings. This could be perfect to just replace the bolts for the undertray/bumper for quick removal....

Stainless Steel 304 Spring Loaded Corner Fastener Latch, Polished Finish, Non Locking, 2 5/16" Length (Pack of 1): Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

this one looks good b/c it has a 'locking feature' to prevent poorly timed release! would need to add a hook on splitter surface to mount... problem is this one is for corners...

SPOHN 04-05-2013 07:27 PM

This is exactly what I'm going to do.

Yup, me too.

ts-c63 04-05-2013 10:49 PM

You should try and cover the entire under carriage with a functional diffuser

SPOHN 04-06-2013 06:31 AM

I'm am evenrually going to have a custom rear diffuser made

travisjb 04-06-2013 09:28 AM

one more piece of advice... fasteners on bottom of splitter get quickly chewed up by asphalt... design so most hardware is om top and tuck any on bottom into cup/conical washers

Z1 Motorsports 370Z/G37/R35 Urethane Motor Mounts

Reaper42 04-14-2013 04:39 PM

Why didnt you go with the solid mounts?

SPOHN 04-14-2013 04:57 PM

I went back and fourth with that. I figured I'd use what the 370Z race teams were using.

RJM Clutch Ordered
 
My buddy Frank highly recommended this product so I had to get.

Mr&Mrs 04-14-2013 07:45 PM

I still have not put in my RJM pedal yet but a bunch of 350 guys told me to get it. Quite a few have it in the 370 now and love it. Cant wait to hear what you think with track use.

Both of you are heavy track guys, and I have been eyeing Z1's solid motor mounts for a while as one of my next track mods. Just wondering what your guys decision process was to choose the urethane mounts over the solid mounts. I dont want to regret getting the solid ones if there is a big draw back. Thanks :tiphat:

SPOHN 04-16-2013 05:53 AM

That was my thoughts about the solid mounts. Would I regret them. I'm pretty open minded to all mods and the cons. But I figured Doran racing uses the poly I would to.

wstar 04-16-2013 07:10 AM

Yeah when I get to the mounts, I'm going with the not-solid ones as well. A little tiny bit of anti-vibration and a little tiny bit of "play" isn't necessarily a bad thing. And yeah, if a Grand-Am team doesn't need rock-solid bushings, I certainly don't :)

sig11 04-16-2013 08:49 AM

Are they ALLOWED to have solid motor mounts? :)

Reaper42 04-16-2013 08:07 PM

^ lol thats my thoughts exactly. a grand am team also doesnt have 6 pot front trophy brakes but I sure as hell would take these any day over what they are running.

I have had bad luck with solids in past on other cars. Lots of vibration. These semi solids are very firm. No vibration.

Z1 Motorsports Poly Motor and Transmission Mounts
 
For a guy of my kind who loves to shave weight this is a must. These two parts were very simple to install (for myself). The motor mounts may/ may not be done with stock headers. I also have my AC removed so it made it way to easy. So be cautious if you order.

As far as the transmission mount very simple. I just recommend lock tight on the two bolts that Z1 supplies being they are facing the downward intead on upward as the stock were.

I have to tell, you can hardly tell there in there. I felt a little bit but nothing I feel a stranger would even noticed.Seriously. But we'll see in due time.

Do you think that you have to replace transmission and motor mounts at the same time or can you just replace transmission?

What do you mean the motor mounts may/may not work with the stock headers? What is the process for installing them?

Mike 04-18-2013 07:21 PM

I have the transmission mount only and the stock motor mounts. works fine.

You can either or. Both, motor, or just tranny.

What I should of said as I'm not sure how the install would be with stock headers due to the bulkness and heat shieds in the way. And on the driver side due to the AC compressor.
