Your wife is so good to you. You're a lucky man.

So a little bit of information you guys have been asking for... I did some data logging on the car to see if all the cooling mods are working as advertised. I don't have delta's, so if there is anyone willing to note what stock temps are, by all means, post it! This is with just normal driving. Maybe a couple spurts of mild acceleration to maneuver through traffic.

Outside temps were between 45 and 50 degrees during the 20 minute drive.

Average coolant temps were about 185 degrees Fahrenheit (fans never kicked on & AC off)
Highest coolant temps were 192 degrees Fahrenheit (fans never kicked on & AC off)
Average oil temps were about 172 degrees Fahrenheit
Highest oil temps... 172 degrees Fahrenheit
Intake air temps averaged about 13-15 above ambient while in motion.
Intake air temps averaged about 20 degrees above ambient while at rest.

I also turned off my meth as temps are really cool right now and I was running low. I need to go out and buy some distilled water and mix some up.

Also for videos, let me know what you guys want and I'll try to make it happen. Only thing I know I need is a flyby.

I think my temp sensor is wrong and on the cold side. It was about 70 degrees and I logged some more. Oil temps were running between 180-185. Water temps didn't change. IATs didn't change either

Not a drive by vid, but for the guys wanting 4th gear in my last vid, I obliged by giving most of 5th too. The white walk path strips are at the half mile mark. Thank you to the Wife for the vid. Apologize for the washed out lights, it recorded with my HTC One and there is a big fingerprint on the lens... I recommend a nice speaker setup or headphones with it turned up and high def, sounds better...

Hey SS, looks like you paved the way for another member to grab his:

Nissan 370Z Forum - Orestp's Album: GTM Twin Supercharger Build

SS_Firehawk · 12-30-2013, 11:18 PM

Yeah, he put everything together himself. I think he finished up a bit before mine, not sure tho. There are a few of us

Two Z's and at least three G's. One is done, the other almost, and one at GTM. The one at GTM is a built 4.2 auto with the smallest pulley. It's filled with a bunch of show crap like huge speakers, screens, oversized wheels and reupholstered interior. Dude won't even drive it much. Such a shame.

I hate show cars... all show no go lol. I couldn't imagine owning a car and not driving it at least once or twice a week.

I found out there is one being built in Houston also, details I was given was built motor, twin SC by GTM, suspension, exhaust, etc. I believe they are hoping to have it done to go play at the Texas Mile in the spring.

You forgot to mention that G is built with a 4.2 stroker and a fully built transmission stage 4 from GTM. Solid blueprint if you ask me. Fully built top to bottom.

That show crap still can spank some a** with all that bunch of crap in the car. HAHA
Oversized wheels really? They are 20" HRE. In the summer I will have a new set of wheels for daily driving and the HRE will be for show only.

Dude won't even drive it much. The car is not a trailer queen. It will be driven to car show all over the east coast. Once we clear bra the car. Also I will show local with our car club Ohio G Club '"OGC" and anywhere Tuningwerks Competition "TWC" need me to show.

Such a shame not really. If you ever own or have a show car. You know how much hard work keeping the car perfect and clean and being different. It's all worth being one of a kind.

No need to get defensive. As you said the car is a show car. Mine looks stock, all the way down to the radio. And when is it going to be done? I want to know what that thing can do!

Anyways, here is a question. When I mash the gas, I can smell rubber from the belt. I see black marks on my tensioner pulley. I also notice the RPM will hang a bit, usually around 6k-6.5k rpm, then take off. It's noticable in 2nd, not so much in 3rd. I don't see the belt getting shredded or a bent pulley like before, but it concerns me. It still runs super strong, more so than before the pulley gave. This car is really loving he cold weather. I felt my car get squirly n 4th the other day, I was a bit surprised. I need some better tires...

I was also able to see Infamous's new ride! He has a BP turbo kit on a stock tune. Car and kit looks super clean! It was awesome hearing the turbo do it's work. He was able to hang with me, I imagine that would be some tough competition with a tune. I'm hoping I can ride shotgun one day

Lastly, I had to get a bit juvanile and get my Wife to take a video of me playing in a tunnel. Nothing too much, but ooooohhhhhh sooooo worth it!

Edit: Camera angle still being fixed

Hotrodz · 02-03-2014, 11:04 PM

Nice, you got two love tunnels. I wonder what it would sound like if we went 3 wide on boost through there!!!!
