Right on. It's what I figured after digging through the forum a few more hours. The 2012 manual doesn't give the wire color code of the Yaw Sensor

Thanks, man

You're welcome. I actually double checked the wiring with a multimeter to verify the yaw sensor wire and ground.

Mine's getting close to 200km on the odometer, besides the problem I've got from the convertible top...

Otherwise everything is running well.

Both those things were the first to be fixed almost immediately after i picked her up from the dealer lol kinda sad that i can't drive her right now cause I'm still waiting on the parts to show up :(

for the steering, you better pull the fuse after they replace with a new one, or is it possible for them to delete it?

Mine's a 2011 and it doesn't have the steering lock.


For the CSC, are you also getting another OEM one? Otherwise, you might want to get an heavy duty one from ZSpeed or the CSC elimination kit.


Have the spark plugs been replaced? might as well do it, the plugs are expensive though, but they a long time.

The parts I'm waiting for are the idler pulley and automatic tensioner, pulled the fuse for the steering lock a long time ago along with swapping out the csc for a zspeed hd csc and new master cylinder, sorry if it sounded like something else lol

Stoptech pads all around and slotted rotors with motul rbf600 for the fluid, went with a less aggressive setup since i do also daily drive it and didn't want something that would create too much dust but still improve on the stopping power of the Akebono calipers

Just an addendum to my original post on the health of the motor, i did do my own compression test doing it the normal way after heating up the engine to running temps and measured 210 psi across all 6 cylinders dry, not sure how big a discrepancy there normally is between gauges as mine is a bluedriver gauge and im not sure what the dealer was using. mostly just went in to have them perform a leak down test as i dont have access to that equipment and even if i did the place where i live wouldnt allow me to use it lol

front sway bar and RJM 3.3 COMPLETE!!!

I had a very difficult time with the clutch assembly. I am 6 feet tall and about 245. I had a tremendous time squeezing in this space to get it done. Clutch feels great!
I also got to finally install the hotchkis sway bar (front) and Hotchkis billet brackets today too! I tested it out a bit afterward and it is by far the best upgrade thus far! It is a world of difference (highly recommend)

Hope everyone is safe and making good choices! Have a great evening!

Aside from the endless fitting process for the CF hood and Aerocatch pins... was annoyed enough w this to finally deal with it. A little sandpaper, fatal corrosive agent, and voila!

I painted my crash bar with black plasti dip. When you look into my grill area. It looks like a black hole.

rear sway bar and rear diff brace!
 
4 Attachment(s)
Installed the Hotchkis rear sway bar today. This bar is adjustable. The hole on the very end is for the stiffest setting. The 3rd hole farthest from the end of the bar is for the softest. I used the middle hole! I also installed the Bell Raceworks differential brace too! I might as well have since I was down there anyhow!

The build is coming along. Slow but sure! I hope to 50% complete by the end of 2020!

WISHLIST

19X9.5
19X10.5 OMARI SPEC LMGT4 (gloss or satin black no preference)

You're forgetting the POS plastic fuel hat, thin paint and cracking dash's.......at a minimum.

Mines an 09, seen plenty of summers off 100 plus heat and no issues with the dash.... of course maybe that has something to do with my use of chemical guys protectant... other than that the 370 is experiencing pretty much a lot of the same issues as the original 240Z when it comes to quality over time lol
