After all this greatness

I will miss it but it has to end at some point. I really don't even get to drive it that often. The R35 is my dream car anyway and would be much less hassle.

Great thread , was very interesting and informative to read. Also , interesting reading about the want/need for more power leads to an almost regrettable feeling in the end. I'm in the 2nd month of my SC build, am happy with the power, have almost no issues other than the Turbosmart BOV sounds like crap. Going to order that Synapse valve today!!
I think I'd like to run a fan on my oil cooler, so, cooling is where I'd like to focus upgrades on.
Thanks for the good read sir!!

Final update: Sandwich plate oil adapter was leaking (again) and also caught a blown clamp causing SC fluid to leak. See??? My paranoia was justified.

New clutch is in

The good:
-I can drop in really hard in first and the clutch doesn't even bat an eye. It just bucks and launches. Pretty awesome.
-Friction point is very close to the floor now which makes quick shifting much easier
-Clutch grabs instantly. No hesitation and that "floaty" feeling in high 2nd is gone.

The bad:
-Holy crap this thing is a leg workout. My left leg is going to be enormous.
-I get the feeling I could probably snap my driveshaft in two if I **** around too much

Uh It's an AVIC-Z140BH if I remember right. I have no idea how I pulled that from memory. It has a SD card slot and you can customize the launch screen (among other things). It's almost 3 years old now so I'm sure they have something snazzier out there.

Sorry for the late response.

Just to close the loop:

* The legend of the Z lives on in Ohio. The new owner made the front page of his local paper literally the first week he had it. Better press than I ever got:

* I wasn't full of ****. I finally went out and bought my dream car:
