That's a clever/ballsy way to attach the lines to the sandwich.

My lines are run Z1-style.. I would have deleted the stock sandwich cooler/tubes and run the oil lines along the pan and up the driver's side, but I live in Chiberia and really dislike the idea of idling for 25 minutes before the oil is warm enough.

Solid way, my filter area is a bit cramped with the 2.5” tubes from the fangs. Might still be a way to run the lines from the top if I play with them a bit. Idk. Wish I had a lift so I could stand under the damn thing.

Installed a Helix DSP.2 yesterday, and spent some time today dialing it in.

Installed the Z1 subframe collars today. These were installed on a 2016 Sport with the following current suspension modifications:

- 2016 Nismo Struts and Springs
- Nismo S-Tune F/R Sway Bars

Install took my father and I about three hours. I was able to complete the install without dropping the mufflers (I run Motordyne), however I did unbolt the rear hangers.

First impression is that the inserts definitely added stiffness to the rear end. On hard shifts, the need to replace my blown diff bushing is more evident than ever, giving off a hearty and well known - CLUNK - This was not happening before the install, so I will use it as a decent barometer on measuring increased stiffness.

I am happy with the results given the cost of the mod. It is also advancing my timeline on moving the Z1 diff bushings from the box to the car!

Eventually, I'll find time to install the ART pipes. More recent research confirms that the used ones I picked up are most likely Version 1s (ceramic coating and no added support for the resonators or the cross support), so I am hoping that they don't produce any rasp.

Took the car to downtown Toronto! The drive in the morning was amazing as usual, no traffic on a Sunday morning at 7 am, as expected. Hit the DVP and enjoyed the back roads before getting to Bloor and Yonge.

Man the weather was chilly down there, the damn corridor causes some serious wind and the lake does not help. Anyway, the drive back was amazing, weather was 22 degree, windows down and I was flying on the 401 west bound. There was a girl who had a black 370z, we merged onto the highway together, but we didn't stick together for long, I had a heavy foot that day.

Nice, next time I organize a meet, come on out. You do any type of paint protection for the car? AKA have you used a polished with a good polish to remove any swirls?
