Datalog is the way to go! Huge diff between off the shelf.

Rebolted my exhaust so no more nvh. Wrapped the brace where midpipe sits.
FANG vent mod from modshack. [2x 2.5in coupler clamps. 1 5ft 2.5in hose(the way it is routed i only needed like 2.5ft after stretching it). The flanges. Took me like 30 minutes.
Removed some stuff upfront to expose the filter a little more as well.

Did some 3rd gear pulls on dashcam if anyone is interested.
Just sent in my logs for another tune for my Rhfc. I would have saved some money if I had had my FBO before my first tune. Oh well. Seb can take my money.


Ps. Please excuse the horrible plastidip on the fangs. Its been there since.. probably the first owner.

I got a new steering lock module installed.

My service adviser said it is the newest part which is mostly updated. It costed around $900.

I hope the steering lock issue would not happen again. :D

Last week I installed a Kenwod dnx573s, some evo-r carbon fiber trim for it. (To match the cf I already have around the shifter and on the door switches) and a backup camera. Today I installed a RJM clutch pedal! A lot of it was very easy but a few things were pretty frustrating. I definitely need to adjust the settings on it some more, but it's definitely a whole lot smoother than stock. And just the fact that I can say I need to make some adjustments to it is pretty cool. https://imageshack.com/i/pooKtpZ5j

Red GT-R start button is arriving from Z1. I (with some help from the sun) removed my 370Z emblem on Saturday so my plan is to install the start button and also work on the "ghost" emblem left from the debadging. The paint was a little rough underneath the emblem so I need to do some touching up.

radix023 07-03-2017 06:35 AM
You'll have to let us know how the backup camera works. That's a cool feature on the double DIN.

:shakes head: Rev D is still prone to failure. They removed the lock entirely on 2012+ model years - that's why you don't hear about failures much anymore. Pull the fuse or cut the wire or be prepared to deal with it again in the future :eekdance:

In the last 4 days: 4 new Michelin Pilot Super Sports and 1500 miles (1200 with the top down)in 3 US states and 2 Canadian provinces including Canada Day with friends in Manitoba. And, I still have a week on the road. A baseball game tonight, and an anniversary tomorrow. Life is good!

He told me that all year models of 370Zs have the steering lock module installed, but it seems like he was false if your comment is true.

I really hope the issue happens again, but personally I don't want to touch my car because I worry about how if I mess it up.

Thanks for the info. :)

Put on new differential bushing today. Wow, it made a huge difference. While it was definitely not easy, it was well worth it.

It only cost me supplies, the painter and I swapped a little work out. Occupational benefit

After installing the Ark GT-S springs and SPL camber arms, toe bolts, lockout bolts, I needed an alignment. Today I got that alignment done.

The final numbers...

Front Camber: -1.7* Left, -2.2* Right
Front Toe: -06* for both

Rear Camber: -1.7* for both
Rear Toe: -13* for both

Just going off of memory, but pretty sure those are the right numbers. Never got a printout.

Nothing to adjust up front except for toe, and those toe numbers are in degrees, not inches like we normally discuss.

Then the toe angle is a positive number not negative and you need an adjustable front A arm. If you are happy with those numbers good on it. I would not run them...

Your toe should be toed in, not toed out. For both front and rear.

Thought on your other thread. The front camber was pretty close to -1.7 on both sides?

The rear camber is good.

You should start thinking about front control arms.

Nope they definitely stopped at some point thougnim not sure the specific year. Mine doesn't have the lock at all. Instead of directly fixing the problem they just removed the issue.

Believe it's about half way through the 2011 model year they stopped installing the damn lock.

I have the privilege of adorning her w/ Tommy Kaira.

^^^ That Tommy kaira badge is amazing!!!! I want one....

Got my RJM dialed in, 10/10 would do again. I'm in love with it, should've installed this a long time ago.

Also removed the trunk hatch weight, replaced the reverse lights with diode dynamics LEDs, replaced the turn signal bulbs with chrome bulbs to remove the orange reflection in the tail lights. They're actually not much darker than stock when they flash and look much better when off. Totally worth it, cleans up the look of the rear. It's all in the details.

Also here's a picture of the $13.00 back up camera at night so you can all see the quality. The daytime quality is excellent! Night time quality is great too in my opinion, just a little grainy but that's to be expected. In the picture it's about 10 at night, cloudy and no lights around. $13 we'll spent I'd say!

I have the same camera and love it. Got it from a member here in the freebies thread.

But let's have a serious talk. You have got to do something about resizing your pictures. :pics::tup:

Do you have a link to the diode dynamic reverse lights? I want to purchase some since I've tinted my tails a bit.

edit: nvm, I found them. Geez, they can get expensive!

MBM_Nismo 07-05-2017 11:57 PM
Clean and simple. How's the ride quality on those?

Yeah, they can. I think they're worth it though...
I went outside and made a quick video for you to help you and anyone else decide whether or not it's worth it for you/them. :tup:

Just ignore me getting too close for a second, I forgot for a moment that I was filming and needed to stay a bit back :icon14:

Thanks! Which lumens did you get? The highest of the high? It's pretty damn bright.

Yeah, they're the XP50's ...410 lumens. I thought they'd be brighter tbh, but they are still pretty damn bright indeed.

No, it's not toe out, it's toe in like it should be.

Rusty, as far as my other thread about front camber, I'm not sure what you're asking. I never had it on an alignment rack until yesterday.

Sorry, that was someone else that did the same thing as you. His camber was around -1.7 before and after I believe.

When you put a( - )in front of the number. It means negative or toe out. A (+) means positive or toe in. You have a (-) in front of your toe numbers.

The final numbers...

Front Camber: -1.7* Left, -2.2* Right
Front Toe: -06* for both

Rear Camber: -1.7* for both
Rear Toe: -13* for both

Yeah, sorry about that. Definitely not driving around with the toe out. That would be horrible not to mention dangerous.
