Fertilized too.

Glad you weren't hurt and your Z only suffered minor injuries. Sheet metal is cheap compared to skin and bones!

Thanks. I was really quite shocked how little damage was done. Basically front bumper and undertray. Most of the damage was done at the bottom of the incline.
Wild ride on wet grass.

I heard from Kevin at Fast Intentions. He believes my turbos are getting ready to ship from Xona. They'll need to inspect and clock them then they'll get sent over to Seb. :happydance:

More progress on the stereo…. Everything is wired in……..will test tomorrow… assuming all goes well will clean up all the wiring and finish her up this weekend.

New tires on the Z. Fuel starve worse than ever :rofl2:

Dude, you gotta fix that. I think I've only fuel starved once, and that was when I put the wing on and tried to do T2 Counter-clockwise at MSR-H full tilt.

No Jeep parts this weekend... got new tires for the Z.

I read that very detailed thread from July on spark plugs, learned a lot.:rofl2:

I think the first post was the only one about spark plugs :icon17:

New set of Carbotech XP8 brake pads installed. What should have been a 45 min job turned into a front caliper rebuild because I let one of the old sets of pads wear down to the backing plate :ugh: As a result a couple of the boots were torn. Had to resurface the back face of the rotor and went ahead and did new seals and bleeder valves. As a side note, I found it was plenty easy to do the rebuild without taking the caliper halves apart and it was easier to put the boot on the piston first and then tuck the boot and ring into the gap around the piston (as opposed to installing the boot and ring into the caliper and then trying to slide the piston down through the boot).

For anyone interested, here's an example of what NOT to do with your brakes :twocents:

Got the Z1 long tube intake installed today. It was missing a part on each side but, thankfully, the shop had some tubing hose, and clamps, they could use.

Nice! That looks like my intakes with the gold wrap!

It’s only noon and I didn’t do anything with my Z yet, but I did cancel my tune I had scheduled for Saturday. No point in doing it since I’ll be looking to get into the new Z. I will be taking her out later for a full detail and roam around town

Finished the stereo install on a 2016 370Z nismo with Navi/ kept the factory head unit and replaced the tweeters/ front door speakers / rear speakers and amp…. Was much easier that i thought it would be…. After the fact of researching/splicing/testing the wrong wires…..ill save y’all from 17 pages of details but it all worked out in the end.

After my research I purchased the following:
1. Front speakers & tweeters: Hertz DSK 130.3 - Dieci Series 5-1/4" component speaker system
2. Rear speakers: Hertz DCX 87.3 - Dieci Series 3-1/2" 2-way car speakers
3. Subwoofer Box - I was really looking for a JL stealth box but could not find one…. So went with a 2X10” box from conceptenclosures.com - specifically built for our 370z’s
4. Amplifier - JL Audio RD900/5 - 5-channel car amplifier — 75 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms + 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
5. Alpine W10S4 - BassLine Series 10" 4-ohm subwoofer (based the subwoofer decision on the size of the enclosure)

At the end of the day all is working as expected and I’m really happy with the outcome. Do want to get it tuned but sounds good (IMO) base on the tuning suggestions in the manual.

the attached diagram is what will be needed to need to splice into the harness coming from the factory head unit
Basically pins 1&9 and 2&10…
