how do/did you ever plan on getting one? there was only a handful of them ever made :ugh2: Jon had to source this one for quite some time! not the easiest part to just scoop up


just saying

took me about a year.... i even harassed my contacts in japan to beg TOP SECRET to make me one... TOP SECRET agreed and even got my hopes up and crushed it.... :shakes head: they agreed to produce it for an extra $500 bucks but when they "lost the schematics" all that went out the window.... :( they said no we wont make it again

exactly, this is like the unicorn of all strut bars :tup:


and obviously you gotta be a gold mine owner like Jon to get it :icon17:

plus it was A LOT lighter than the pure gold one he had in there before.....

:icon18: :roflpuke2: :bowrofl:

so he sold it to pay for the TS bar :icon17:

Sounds about right :tiphat:

Cant wait to see how you get it to fit :tup:

update... i cut the rain gutters last night.... so my varis hood closes with the top secret bar mounted... i also got the plastic that covers the top mount of the strut to fit also :) im almost there.... my dremel died on me i needa buy some carbon for it

Damn carbon fiber dremel....baller. :bowrofl:

:icon18:

CF dremel FTW!

:bowrofl: i might be wrong with the name but its that block looking thing inside grinders and stuff... my dad calls em carbon so i just copied him :icon17:

btw i forgot to mention i test drove my z yesterday with the y pipe... man the way the exhaust note echoes though the titanium y pipe is amazing i just wish i had more money so could already buy the rear section from amuse....

...."brushes" is the word your looking for....

...but gold would work too..... has the right properties for softness and conductivity. Go grab some from the vault!

and thats why i love these forums... i learned something new today :) its a good thing you told me that cuz i was on my way to home depot and i was gonna tell the guy hey man im looking for the carbon for my dremel :ugh2: :roflpuke2:

the dude woulda been like wtf is this guy talking about :bowrofl:

dude speaking as an electrician chances are the brushes for the motor in the dremel/grinders is not going to be an off the shelf item at HD. You will most likely just need to buy a new dremel :ugh2:



y pipe review sounds awesome. titanium exhaust FTW :tup: :yum:

you were correct i had to buy a new dremel..... :( i was suppose to to the cutting on the other side of the varis tonight but i got off late... the good news is i took my z out today and the side that was cut was a success it didnt get wet... the open side though however :shakes head: i had to run out during the heavy rain to pop my hood and cover my other maf sensor with a trash bag (since they are pointing straight up) not kool... ill try to make the cut tomorrow... my dad is leaving in about a week i believe so i should be able to have my machinist fab that adapter bracket :tup: im also gonna have him machine me a finishing spacer for my top secret knob... ;)

finished my finisher today :happydance: im really happy how it looks on my knob... ill post some pics when my whole interior is put back together :tup: im sort of wishing i went with a gray stitch now... it would have matched flawlessly with my knob:facepalm: sometimes i feel like im screwing myself over

anyone know where i can get this light switch? i only want the switch and not the harness...

http://www.the370z.com/attachments/a...ng-harness.jpg

I looked for that switch, couldn't find it. I ended up buying the kit. :ugh2:

what are you planning on using the switch for? your custom LEDs?

you could go for the JDM or Canadian turnsignal stock it has a fog light switch you could use instead and would keep everything very clean :ugh2: :twocents:

yes exactly... the jdm turn stock would be awesome but idk if id go that far... i think they run like 200 bucks right?

Ya I think so.....

I may be able to help you out....I will PM you.

well i just pulled the trigger on some ganador mirrors non signal version... they are fully powered so im pretty excited... they are also convex like the craftsquares so i should say farewell to the blind spots on these boat mirrors... they should be here next week... only bad side to them they only come in carbon paint (printed carbon with paint) OR gray color.... i went ahead and got the carbon... if its super ugly ill paint it black or send it to CFE and have him wrap it.... we will see....

Where do you get them from?

my buddy in japan got me a sweet deal on em :tup:

Do you guys ever look at salvage yards for stuff like this? we have one close that has a lot of stuff...prob not much Z stuff though...sorry for cluttering up your thread with my rambling thoughts... :)

no problem... haha... i doubt i would find that in the junk yard locally... only really really old cars are found in the junk yard around here

Just buy another seat heater switch and mod it like I did for the Nav Backup camera hack I did...

Nissan 370Z Forum - wheee!'s Album: Seat Heater switch and generic switch

well it really feels like i shot myself in the foot with this one... but i have finally made up my mind that i am selling my whole interior... all of my kevlar seat covers and 40th center console... after trying to convince myself that i wanted red seats instead of the venus backs so that i can retain my red-stitching but no :shakes head: i cant fight it lol.... i really want those bride seats and they only come in gray or white stitching apparently... I LOLed because i saved this one pic of a venus back which had red stitching and i was so happy..... when i sent that pic to both my contact in japan and ravspec on here.. they both told me it was a replica :bowrofl: how i wish i knew that before i sold my kevlar console cheap tryna get a red stitch oem console :facepalm:

also... i just ordered a top secret rear fog lamp.... ;) my other half bought it for my b-day.... im begging her to get me a titanium top secret tow hook as well but i think she wants to strangle me in my sleep already LMAO

jdm sex.... my god.... :drool:

well... my z's interior is turning back to stock... everything is pretty much spoken for only thing aftermarket left is the carbon map light and zoom engineering mirror.... the amuse bar in the back along with the gt braces.... im REALLY gonna take it slowly this 2nd version of my interior.... i dont wanna waste more money anymore.. my plans for the interior is get the jdm wheel, bride venus back seats, alacantra knee pads and door panels maybe a few cf trimmings... like on the tunnels, switches, top hats and rpm crown.. and thats it.... im really hoping everything pans out the way im hoping for... lets keep our fingers crossed...

update... just ordered those alacantra knee pads :D :happydance:

Your selling these also?

oh no brother... im keeping those :)

Did you just get the nissan OEM ones?

Why not just use a dye pen on the Brides to make the stiching red?

yes i got the oem roadster knee pads

ive thought about it but i also feel that the titanium flows really nicely with gray stitching i think it looks ok with red but looks sexy ;)with gray stitching

Agreed, not sure I'd want to modify a set of $3500+ seats either.
