But I REALLY need to take a weekend off and just hang out with my car sometime soon!! lol :)

I think I'll be ordering an Eibach front sway bar this week. Will keep the rear OEM, seems to be a well liked combo by many.

The 370z is pretty understeery as it is. If you want more balance in the F / R traction, get both bars.

...just sayin.

Are you running both? Seems to defy logic, but the consensus on the boards seems to be our cars need as much front bar as it can get to dial out understeer. And those that got the set run full stiff front and soft rear or have switched back to OEM rear. Confused me.

The consensus is like you said, large/stiff front bar with oem/soft is a good combo

Do you know if it's possible to just replace the clock with an oil pressure guage?

It is, but removing the dash is a PITA :shakes head:

b15 06-22-2015 02:07 PM

Hmm. That was my plan when I got an oil cooler. Def want the pressure gauge. Maybe I'll get the pillar pod.

That's what I was thinking of as well. Talk to Galeforce. He makes a great pillar pod setup.

b15 06-22-2015 02:15 PM

Also what gauge did you use?

osbornsm 06-24-2015 09:01 AM

That is the Defi - Red Racer gauge.

The "racer" gauge series doesn't require the central command unit that other Defi's use.

I picked up 12v Battery and 12v switched, off my radio harness.
Each line has an inline fuse.
