Is your sandwich plate thermo or non, and which brand?

As long as its specific for the 370, you should be just fine. I run Purolator PureONE filters and they fit find to my sandwich plate. I even run the longer ones not specific to our cars that allow a bit more oil to run through(PL14610)

Are you mounting your core with the connection points on top or bottom? LMK if you have any questions!

Saw a nice new 370 on my street today. :D

Car going on the dyno at Fast Intentions this morning! Will probably drive it home the second week of August at this point.

Anyone going to Z Nationals? I missed ZdayZ so don't want to miss Atlanta!

Good day! Oil changed in three cars and removed the front rotors and calipers from my Altima. Hmmm, tomorrow I think will be triple car wash day.

SmoothZ 07-17-2014 07:43 AM

Good morning! B, good to read that your car is coming along. Can't wait to see it.

I did a double car wash and wax not too long ago.

Arrvaxx 07-17-2014 08:39 AM

Hey! So what is the weekly/bi-weekly meet schedule?

batboyvaj 07-17-2014 01:59 PM

So where and when are you all meeting next?

Arrvaxx 07-17-2014 02:26 PM

Scott,

batboyvaj was saying he's been seeing a 40th in Cottage Grove. That you?

We've actually been putting meets together every other week for any/all Nissans on Tuesdays.

4 of us will be at the Auto-X event on Sunday held at DCTC.

Oh snap!!! Yeah, if someone was in the other lane that would have been ugly. And love the compilation!

Arrvaxx 07-18-2014 11:13 AM

I'll bring my GoPro on Sunday for you guys to use.

Munts 07-19-2014 08:10 AM

Had a great time watching some fools (like Lance) run the MAC autocross in Rosemount. Didn't run myself but soon.

Like my helmet Lance?

Arrvaxx 07-21-2014 10:31 AM

Started a new 'Event' thread. Didn't want you guys to miss it... http://www.the370z.com/mid-western-r...ent-plans.html

Arrvaxx 08-02-2014 09:46 PM

It's official...Minnesota now has a Fast Intentions turbo prowling the streets!

Great trip! Plan on several posts covering several aspects of it tomorrow!

Arrvaxx 08-03-2014 10:32 PM

Anyone going to Brainerd on the 27th? I'm going to pop my drag strip cherry. Should be...entertaining.

Very happy to see you and the car back in MN. Tony was wondering how everything went the rest of the way once you got back out of the high elevation areas.

I plan to head up to BIR for proving grounds for September 5th-7th. The event on the 27th mayyyy be a good warmup for you to learn your launch capabilities for the following weekend :) When are the new tires on the way, or are they at your house waiting for you?

I need to order them. Step one is to spend today paying bills and seeing what the trip damage was! I have a bit of tread left on the stock tires and was thinking that 91 octane and streets would be a good learning platform since there will be a lot of tire spin. No sense burning through a set of Hankook R-S3's to start.

Good luck!

I live there. If you see a PW Z driving around, it's me. Only Z around for 100 miles (except for the guy who bought my old one).

You should put the pearl on the strip!

Somewhere around the Minneapolis area..dont remember where exactly ha. Caught up to a black Z cruising (in my Z) and he took off zig zagging through traffic on the interstate. Curious if it was anyone on here??:driving:

350? 350? Nismo? Sport?

I hate people that do that. If i see another Z or G owner, i typically will give you a wave and cruise with you rather then try and hot rod/impress the other driver by being an idiot.

370z sport for sure..not sure if it was touring or not..or the year. I was only able to look at the side and the rear.:p

New Tires
 
Got some new Goodyear Assurance Comfort treads. It's a nice soft ride. Still corners fine. :tiphat:

ezred 08-06-2014 04:43 PM

NAV Upgrade..
 
Hey got notice of a NAV upgrade . - A recall by Nissan. I'm scheduled on 8/21 for my service. Those that have NAV should also check on this - just talk to your local Nissan dealer.

I'd relay my opinion of Nissan's navigation maps but I can't fart loud enough.

I'll never waste the $150 on Nissan maps when I can buy a better, more user-friendly navigation tool for $2 from the App Store and get real-time maps and traffic info.

Now...if that $150 map upgrade included a firmware update that would allow me to run CarPlay on my nav system, then I'd gladly shell out the money. Somehow, I don't think Nissan will be very enthusiastic about CarPlay, or at least about retrofitting it.

1cleanZ 08-14-2014 08:47 AM

For anyone bored this Saturday, there are 4 of us dyno/tuning at DB Performance starting at 10am.

I personally will by tuning with the following:
-Fast Intentions Resonated HFCs
-Fast Intentions NONresonated SS catback
-Stillen Gen3's
-Stillen UD Pulley
-MD M370 intake manifold (still debating install)
-Nissan Motorsports 34row Oil Cooler
-Nismo rear wheels mounted**

1cleanZ 08-18-2014 10:33 AM

Thanks Brian and David for hanging out Saturday. Was great seeing you both. Who could have thought a UD pulley install would be such a PITA?

Very happy with the day though. Car runs great, feels great, and still with the factory Nismo tune. I think it was made for the bolt-ons to be added ;)

Arrvaxx 08-18-2014 11:16 AM

Hey, had a great time hanging out. Might have felt differently if it was my car! What did it take...8 hours? Unreal. But yeah, that Nismo tune is pretty impressive. No idea why all our cars don't come with it.

Arrvaxx 08-18-2014 01:22 PM
