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

abm89

I actually dropped it off today. I didn't want to deal with the icy weather last week.

I have a Z1 lightened flywheel and clutch,BC coils, Z1 headers and test pipes, 3" intakes and wheel spacers going on this year after I get the car out of storage in a few weeks!! Any suggestions of anything else besides wheels/tires and new seats? ** Tune from Moncef at admin happening after installs **

Below are a couple pics of my current 370 after I wrapped it myself this fall!

Do you have the basics like oil cooler and CSC fix already? Those are 2 that you should add to your list. You’ll probably need adjustable FUCAs at a minimum after you lower on coilovers. Maybe adjustable rear arms too depending on how much you’re going to lower the car.

How hard was it to wrap the whole car yourself? Looks good

CSC is part of the clutch and flywheel kit I got from Z1, I didn't get an oil cooler, wasn't sure if it was worth it or not. I also am not sure what FUCAs are ? I am planning on lowering it to just about a finger gap and have spacesto bring the stock wheels out. I didn't see videos when looking into these that said they would need adjustable rear arms though.

The wrap took me about 16 hours by myself, it was mostly easy but learning inlays and techniques took the most time

Oil cooler definitely worth it. Especially if you’re tuned making additional power, and plan on driving the car hard. I have a 34 row and it’s fine for daily use as well.

FUCAs = front adjustable control arms. You’ll want adjustable front arms if you want to get the car back to factory spec. Everyone here says go for SPL. I’ve got Z1 FUCAs which are fine if you want to set the arm length once and be done, but they’re a pain to adjust since you have to remove them from the car to do so. Z1 is way cheaper than SPL, but you cant argue against SPLs quality and ease of adjustment.

I’ll let someone else chime in on if rear arms are needed. I don’t have them since I have more camber than factory spec in the rear.

Yeah you nailed it. Z1 arms are fine if you don't change the alignment often. If you plan to do track work and adjustments, go SPL. Thats the end of the story there.

to reply to the other comment, there are plenty of reasons to stay away from SPC due to overall quality. I would either go Z1 or SPL personally. I have SPL rear arms and no one has ever complained about working with them.

Alright so in order for me to maintain factory adjustments after installing my BC coils I will need to get a kit like this https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pro...beaef3a2a218fe

in order to maintain factory?

As far as oil cooler kit, I did notice that casual driving does get pretty toasty, after tune I figured it might run a little cooler? Guess I'm wrong on that one too lol.

Is there a reason for 19/25/34 row?? It's just a weekend fun car no track, I will be taking to to the Tail of the dragon and the mountains in TN/NC in May.

I appreciate the feedback!

FYI, depending on how you spec it, the Concept Z kit is around $100 cheaper and comes with the Setrab core as standard. I don’t see a reason to not go with at least the 25 row cooler. Better to have some kind of factor of safety and avoid having to go bigger down the road. Like I said I’ve got a 34 row that is totally fine for dailying. In the colder months (I’m in New England) I run a block off plate to let the car warm up faster.

Yes the Z1 adjustable suspension kit looks like it has everything you’d need to get your alignment set up as you’d like it. I’m not sure if the traction arms are necessary (again someone else chime in plz) but they wouldn’t hurt to get some more adjustability.

Are you going to use divorced spring coilovers or true rear coilovers? That will determine which option you select for “toe adjustment”. If you’re using divorced spring rear coilovers (OEM-style) you’d want the SPC toe bolts for more adjustability. If you are using true-rear coilovers, then you’d get the toe arms and eccentric bolt elimination kit.

Save your money & your motor by NOT tuning with Monqueef. Go to Seb at SpecialtyZ.

Hi Ghost. I used to be in the heart of America z club with you. Hope things. Are going well. My name is Matt and have a gun Metal grey 370. There a new Z club in KC that has its ZCCA Accreditations. If your interested let me know. We definitely would be interested in you heading up one of your cruises you had planed. That we didn’t get to go on.

I have heard only good things about Admin Tuning, why do you say to avoid them?

JARblue

You obviously haven’t looked then. Any tuner that turns off knock sensors and does “complete” tunes in 20 minutes should be avoided like the plague

I joined the FB 370z group to see what the fuzz was all about. I couldn't stand the tidal waves of useless posts and left the group after a few months.

That doesn't even count. FB has never been a source of reliable information.
