What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

ahh, i was hoping they were under-the-hood gauges, but if i do that, i might as well just wire a sensor into my dash.

I looked around and Aeromotive is reputable so i will give them a try! down the line, i'll do the wiring to the Haltech. It's just too damn hot for me to want to mess with it.

Just ordered OEM V1 Nismo kit (except the wing) and wheels. Converting wife’s V2 into a V1. Wish me luck.

Good labor day weekend. Took the Z out to Thunderhill Raceway. Car feels great and I was able to PB. The wavetrac lsd is def better than stock. Feels like the car has more hp. I am looking forward to more seat time with this car.

Been tracking down power steering leaks for a while now. Finally decided to just rebuild the system.

New low-pressure 3/8” hose and constant-tension clamps installed from cooler to reservoir, and from rack to cooler. I ditched all the hardline and various connections and ran a single 3/8” hose from rack to cooler.

I’m having a crimped line made at a hydraulic shop tomorrow to replace my DIY 6AN line for the high pressure line. I’m also running a single hose for high pressure, directly from pump to rack with a Chase Bays steering rack 6AN adapter fitting.

Hoping that I can avoid leaks in the future by having a simpler system with less connections/junctions. I plan to upgrade the cooler in the future, but that’s a super easy install for this winter.

I can't see them either. I just liked the post figuring he went so fast the photos couldn't catch the car

Z1 Drive belt installed at 155K miles. now waiting for fedex to get me my front endlinks. Ill keep the SPL endlinks as these are not broken and probably just need servicing (if that's even possible).

It was OK. I previously replaced the belt at 90k which was factory recommended. This one has some wear but no major cracking. The outside of the belt looked pretty faded
