I like the Z1 kit. I have their biggest, but my car is off road use only. When it was a street car, oil temps barely ever hit 180 with it and it requires a block off plate for daily use, but it keeps the oil in the 240 range on the track, even in summer.

Scubasubiker....
that bike your sitting on looks like a Yamaha Seca II...I used to have one.
is it?

Scubasubiker 02-14-2013 09:25 PM

It's a Kawasaki 600 Ninja. Have 4 bikes right now and that's the oldest and slowest. I keep it around to teach others how to ride.

This is the loaner car i have till mine arrives. I like these. Anyone know what brand they are?

THX!

Nice to see someone on here from my state. When I have time I'll look for a local Z group. From a small town so probably will have to drive an hour to AK.

Uhg!! Went to pick up my shiny new solid red 370z at the dealer after waiting FOREVER and they handed me a new stock coupe with eighteens and no sport pkg...WTF! Just cause I'm a girl, do they think I'm and idiot?! My heels are made of SS and I was ready to plant them! Give me what I ordered or prepare to see my claws!.......... Car arriving tomorrow, curbside service, with back up cam in mirror and door plate lighting...compliments of the house (((smiles widely)))

High Heels Rock!

and sport package?

Scubasubiker 02-15-2013 04:20 PM

SI! You think I'd accept anything less?! Bought this car to race, not drive miss daisy.

SS_Firehawk 02-15-2013 04:37 PM

haha, awesome. Just like everyone mentioned, some good pads, ss lines, and fluid, those brakes will work well (maybe a vacuum canister for ice mode). A good oil cooler and chucking the stock diff should be high on the list as well for anyone tracking the car. Update with pics :)

exhaust
 
What made you choose that exhaust specifically and what others did you consider?

SS_Firehawk 02-15-2013 04:48 PM

It was a mid pipe exhaust and considered quiet. I wanted to run HFC's with long tube headers and this was the only way at the time. With Tanabe having the same bolting points as stock, it was an easy choice. The Tanabe helps keep rasp down and my ear drums from exploding. I have vids in my sig. Also dyno's, videos and reviews on everything I bought. Might help you down the run when/if you mod your new Z.

Scubasubiker 02-15-2013 04:50 PM

:) Haven't you heard loud pipes save lives?

SS_Firehawk 02-15-2013 04:51 PM

haha, but do they maintain happy Wives? For bikes, definitely. Especially in Vegas, noone can drive here. But yeah, it's still deafening when I'm on it, especially in a tunnel, near walls or a walled neighborhood

Scubasubiker 02-15-2013 04:56 PM

Not if...only when. Sound is important to me. That said, got 86'ed off the track in TX for too high Deci. on second run two months ago in my bro's Super7. :(
