My Seibon TS hood should be showing up today or tomorrow. I'll update the forum with the install.

Get a QuickJack and all your problems will be solved.

New wheels, tires, SPL FUCAs, SPL rear camber arms, aluminum undershroud, and oil cooler all installed this past weekend.

Next up for this weekend is fixing the leak in the Airlift system and adding a second compressor. Nice to finally be back modding this car after a year long hiatus.

Update 2: WR dropped the transmission and found that the clutch grenaded and that broke the CSC. I'm betting the CSC wasn't adjusted when my new master was installed -_-

Now I get to spend more money!

Think of it as an opportunity to get the clutch you deserve. :tup:

Considering I had an upgraded clutch already, I'm not particularly excited.

Contacted THMotorsports. Apparently "They [Seibon TS hood] are available" is secret code for "they will be available once the manufacturer makes them." Placed the order six days ago, was told it would arrive in five business days, and the freight service would call me when they were in the area. Now I was told today that the hood will hopefully ship tomorrow.

I wouldn't be annoyed if it wasn't for the fact that I scheduled work from home every day this week so I'd be able to accept delivery and have been glued to my phone awaiting the call.

Ahh that sucks. I think I got my VIS hood thru them, and they were pretty forward with the delivery times and updates. That was a couple of years ago though.

Ordering body parts always seems to be tedious for me, except for the wing.

He uses two zip ties together to form a ring and uses that to hold the brace in place while he can then use both hands to line it up and get the bolts started.

I read his helpful comment and tried that. It got me halfway there. What really worked for me was taking a cap screw with a tapered end (pull one off the undershroud) and threading it in to the hole closest to the brake fluid reservoir, just enough to hold the brace in place while I put the farthest fastener in. Then I pulled the tapered screw and threaded in the one Z1 provided.

I hope this helps someone; I know I spent more on tools to try and solve this problem than the damn brace cost, and finally gave up out of frustration lol

Most important tools for installation: telescopic magnet and good flashlight. Flashlight to locate the bolt you dropped so you can attempt to retrieve it with the magnet. Good thing the kit didn't come with stainless steel bolts. :rofl2:

I have a bunch of little clip-on-your-old-man-reading-glasses LED lights; I clipped those on various strategic locations in the compartment. Still ended up holding an Adam's Polishes light in my teeth for most of the install. Their little handheld lights are bright AF, love 'em.

And I'd recommend two telescopic magnets.. the second is for when you end up dropping the first one into the compartment...

Switched the CR2Ps for some OG TE37s. Not as aggressive, but definitely lighter and way easier to clean.

I remember i dropped a 10mm in the engine bay when i installed my gen3s way back. I think it rattled out eventually. Or you know... its buried in there at the scrapyard

Update 3: This seems ok right?! :bowrofl:

The clutch side has some debris and clearly there markings showing the CSC wasn't adjusted after the master install.

Ordered an Action Stage 3 Clutch and new Flywheel to go with it. Labor is still going to be cheaper than what Nissan quoted for just the CSC (on top of the fact that the guys at WR said that Nissan installed the ZSpeed CMAK wrong on another customer's car).

There is no CSC adjustment. The only adjustment that would need to be done with an CMC install is the rod length to the clutch pedal from the CMC.

I did this a bit with one of the connecting fork nut when i did the rjm pedal (also prob in the yard). Pretty easy.. minus pain to reach. And thats coming from a small guy

The Z is taking the day off in the garage and taking the Camry to work today.

That actually makes more sense (and believable that the master was the part replaced last time)



Much better than your transmission fluid theory :rofl2:
