Over the last few weekends i installed, Z1 motor mounts/ transmission mount/ subframe collars / solid differential bushings and the motordyne art pipes that finally arrived (after 6 months )to mate up to my shockwave exhaust……..
then made an appointment to get an EcuTek tune….

Finally had a chance this weekend to put a couple hundred miles on her…. Al i can say is…what a difference….. she is so solid and the rear end is planted….. loving this setup

Adding for reference, also have a set of fortune auto coil overs that have been on for almost 4 years.

All other researches showed plug and play install, but those are 11 and up base cars that generously come with the extra plug (taped up under the seat, unused). Found a post that a guy suffered same fate previously.
I must’ve offended a god somewhere…bad luck continues

First world problem. A pair of red seats sitting in the garage, I decided to just swap them into wife’s 16 Nismo Tech. She’ll get the red 40th seats, then my 09 can get the Recaros.

Passenger side first, buttoned up beautifully. Power seat works great. Then driver side……fcuking missing/no plug for the power seats!!!!!!!!!

Wtf!?!?!?! Being a tech pkg car, i thought it would have the extra plug….my wife even called it last night “hunny with your luck, something is gonna go wrong…”

I can’t accept this. I’ll need a couple hours of pacing back and forth, then admit defeat.

The research I did showed that putting power seats in a Nismo is not plug-n-play. There is a thread in the Interior/Exterior section on how to wire in the seat.

I was only referring to power seating adjustment, not the heating functions. I should’ve clarified.

Fast Intentions Twin Turbo 2012 370Z NISMO

This guy had a 12 Nismo, same body style as my 09, touring seat was a direct swap for him (he commented on it in a different thread, he just needed to add switches for the heating to work, all harnesses were there for him).

And on my wife’s 16, it was a direct swap on the passenger side, but not driver side.

The boot looks even better with an M45 7AT shift knob as it's much smaller and plug and play.

Good idea about the S-button. I did the same but use it for my front fog lights.

Finally got my K+N intake filters into the bumper fascia for true CAI. While I was able to achieve the same 7* temperature differential between ambient and intake temps. that true CAI owners note and with the system as designed with a couple of tweeks; the intake temps. would go north of 122* when stopped and take way too long to recover, if they did at all (think stop and go driving).

Installed 7AT fluid temp. gauge.

Got my car aligned yesterday. We dialed out a ton of camber because I'm not going racing anytime soon. about 2.4 degrees all around and the toe settings are close to the factory specs to minimize tire wear.

I'll have to look into that. It looks OK now, but it needs something else. That knob might do it. Thanks for the tip!

I went a ZCCW meet up and saw some cool Zs. Definitely got some inspiration there…v1 nismos have grown on me a lot, and I think I like them more than v2s. Something about that front bumper is so mean.

I’m also over the Tomei and I’ve only had it for two months…back to ark grip or motordyne I go…it’s not bad with stock cats though…how people I run these with LTHs or TPs is beyond me. I’d definitely have some permanent hearing damage lol.

No hate on anyone that likes the Tomei, it’s just not for me. I’m glad I gave it a shot.

Thumbs up Went to a wedding

My niece got married out of state. I put about 950 miles on the Z over the weekend, about 3/4 of it with the top down. It was good to get out on the road, especially with some good weather and for a happy occasion.
