oooh are you really building the custom pillars to purchase? :yum:

Do you know any good detailers? lol

Thanks Jon. Now I'm just waiting for you or Wiggins to sell me their TS strut bar. :rofl2:

Yes sir. :tup:

:icon18:

Has the group buy gone badly?

Last I heard, Top Secret was having trouble sourcing Titanium. :ugh2:

Oooh I might want one just cause how sweet they look, and im not even boosted yet lol when you gonna let the details out of the bag

They should try contacting N. Korea...:ugh2:

Well this was quite the read!

Excellent documentation and craftsmanship! Look forward to seeing more progression. Subbed ;)

:iagree:

I always love checking out Jason's build definitely one of my favourites! Best part is I have met the man and checked out his Z in person :yum:

Thank you :tiphat:

The Z is out of storage. Finally!

Glad to see you got her all cleaned up:tup:

I picked up some black breather filters, and ordered fittings for the Greddy oil relocation thermostat plate.

Noticed a few oil fitting are leaking, not at the threads though. There isn't any tension on the lines that could cause the leaks, and rearranging the fittings make no difference. Guess I will have to order new fittings for the lines.

Also the rough idle was bad today. I tried to get make a video of it but failed. It's hard to hear the idle, but you can see the A/F start to lean out, which usually makes the car bog/want to stall/and throw a code. In this case it corrects itself before it stalls.

:icon18: I pulled it out of the garage and used the air nozzle on it to blow the dust off. The highway run took care of the rest of the dust. A wash is in order soon. :tup:

Two questions:

1 - How fast do you need need to go to get all the dust off?

2 - When did you switch to those mirrors (craftsquare?)?

That GReddy thermostat plate was a pain to located and get in but we finally made it work. I'll give you the details when I get a free minute

1 - Well... there happened to be a Porsche 996 Carrara convertible that pulled up beside me on the highway... the driver and his passenger was staring at the Z, probably trying to figure out what it was, then the driver decided to goose it (the Porsche), I think they were trying to impress us... my wife started to laugh as I downshifted to 5th... he didn't look very pleased once he caught up to me... however fast that was, that's the answer. ;)

2 - Yes, Craftsquare. I installed them last summer/fall. They have an amazing field of view.

Sweet. :tup:

BTW I sent you an email.

Yup. Just got it. That looks awesome!

Long story short it took a grinding wheel, sand paper, pneumatic drill, 10 washers and some bending of the AL angle support. I'll provide you full details when I download all the pictures from the my camera.

Check out my build thread and you'll see how I handle the GReddy thermostat plate. One thing that I didn't get a picture of was the final install location. When I originally mounted it I had the bracket Sasha made flat against the sub-frame. It seemed to work until I went to mount the oil filter and it won't fit. The solution I came up with was to incert five washers on each of the bottom two lag screws so it would angle it slight towards the bumper. That along with a little upward force on the bracket to get it bent a little more and there is a good 3/8" clearance for the oil filter.

Let me know if you need any more pics and I'll grab them next weekend prior to replacing the undershroud.

Nice! I haven't really taken the time to look yet. I'm ordering more fittings, then I'll tackle it during my next oil change. I'll message you if I run into trouble.

Sounds good. Oh and it requires you to lower the sway bar. I just removed the brackets and let it swing from the end links. It was the only way I could get a right angle drill in there. Not to mention it created a ton more room.

Link your build thread Jwick, Gale hope you had a good weekend my Canadian brother!

Done took care of that homie!

Every weekend is good. I've been drooling over that picture you posted of your Z and your truck. Also spent some time in the garage, trying to get caught up.

I did get a chance to do something for myself. I swapped out my breather filters to something more subtle. Black instead of red. :tup:

Good sh*t man, hopefully we can all meet up one day a drool over eachothers cars....Texas & Canadia unite!

:rock: That would be awesome!

Ok, where are the seats... Every day I show up in here like :driving:
Then it's all :(
I might be more excited to see them than you are!

:icon17: :iagree: what's going on with the seats? :confused:

Leave the man alone...He's busy working on my A-Pillar :tup:

will they sell me the wrong seats at half off? LOL

If you find someone that will let me know prior and I'll get a new set of wheels to try and get all this new found HP I just bolted on the G to the ground

They are supposed to be arriving in the US this week. Then they sit in customs for a week, then get shipped to the Canadian distributor, then shipped to me. :ugh2:

Man, what a process! Based on your description, I can rule out one brand ;) I am sure they will be worth the wait :tup:

Yep, not Status ;) . I do love those seats though, and I would have saved a ton of money had I went with them.
