Lugnuts have been shipped.

Steering wheel is creeping past the due date.

Working on getting burnt Ti hardware.

Wiggins3377 06-20-2014 08:17 AM

Jason who did you go with for the Titan hardware? Decent price?

I'm finding that after doing the wire relocation mod I have a lot of open spots to put dress up bolts. If im going to buy more, I think I may just update to titanium and get license plate and steering wheel hardware at the same time.

I should know more after this weekend. The hardware guys are putting together a kit and pricing for the 370z as we speak. I'll message you when I get more details.

What did you do for the wire relocation? Pics in your build thread? I should be looking at do it too.

Wiggins3377 06-20-2014 08:25 AM

I followed O&Gs DIY. Its very basic. I took my time with it so Ive been working on it a little everyday since Sunday. Just finished and putting my car back together this weekend. I'm going to be do a full blown tuck, fender mold and PS reservoir relocation in the next couple months (hopefully before IA Kentucky) with Rid3-FaMOuS.

Ill post some pics of it this weekend. Sim also helped me along the way when I had questions. Love this forum and the people who contribute to it.

Cool. I'm going to look up O&Gs thread again, don't be surprised if you get a couple questions from me this weekend. lol

No problem man. There are definitely a few gaps in his DIY, but I should be able to help you out. Like I said I took my time and tried to get rid of as much loom in my bay as possible then replaced it with neatly wrapped electrical tape. If you started early I bet you could get it done in a day. Just hit me up on facebook with questions

:iagree: even if you're a G guy. there's a good reason why I spend all my time here and only go to myG37 if there's a part I'm selling that won't fit a Z

GaleForce 06-22-2014 09:28 PM

Mild wild tuck started and finished today. Much thanks to Wiggins for the help, tips, and pics to help me along.

Contact carbon fiber element. They molded a set for me. It's a little pricy but well worth it when you compare it to the crap password JDM sells

:tiphat: Thank you sir. Maybe I will tackle a real wire tuck this winter. Your example is inspiring.

exsanity 06-26-2014 11:44 PM

I'm with you. I'd like to do a wire tuck, but I'm askerd of unplugging everything and hoping it works the same when I plug it back in. :ugh2:

You guys can do the O&G wire tuck (the same one I did) without worry. The only thing you disconnect is the starter wire at the battery. Now, doing the Rid3_FaM0uS complete wire tuck, that is going to take some time.

For reference,

O&G wire tuck (easy) http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...wire-tuck.html

Rid3_FaM0uS complete wire tuck (intensive)http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...wire-tuck.html

Give these guys reps. They deserve it.

exsanity 06-30-2014 12:09 AM

Thanks Gale.

I am debating the whole tuck.. I like doing things right the first time.

Rid3_FaM0uS 06-30-2014 10:11 AM

if you notice in the pictures sanity; I labeled all of my connectors as to where they went, and in correspondence to passenger or driver side of the car. Its not that I didn't know where they belonged,(you get rather familiar with things turbo'ing your car) but once you get all the looming off and you're just staring at a nest of wires, it can appear quite daunting. Doing the little things to keep from making the project demoralizing was honestly the best thing I could've done. it was a fun little project and if you're going for the show car look like I am cleaning up the engine bay with a tuck is the icing on the cake! if you need any help im usually on here multiple times daily so I'm easy to reach and while wiggins and I do his wire tuck I think ill update the thread with tools that are needed and the super secret "how to take apart the connectors" question :D

For those of us who don't like bleeding fingertips :D

Rid3_FaM0uS 06-30-2014 11:26 AM

haha well you still might get them. It requires very fine point tools, or you could just end up damaging your connector. Its not hard to figure out, per-say, there are just several variations of the connectors, and how to pull them apart; so I think it you be kind of neat to show you guys how its done. Aside from that its almost key to straightening out the mess of wires you start with. that's really the last thing I can show you guys until I get my engine back in to finish the head light and side marker looms. We can talk more about it in the thread if you guys have questions I don't want to de-rail gales journal. Thank you very much for the kind words too gale! Your willingness to put my work out there makes me feel like I did something right! haha. If you ever want to come down to Ohio, Id be more than willing to help you out, and do it on your car as I am with wiggins :)
