yes all that and especially #8

This ,may seem trivial, but a friggin real windshield cowel would be nice-and it would be the only one on the market. Our cowel is the most unsound piece of aero on the car. I have done the "string test" on the thing and it is a catastrophe. I tested with and without the OEM cowel and they are both terrible. Huge market on this one as no one has produced it at all, completely overlooked piece of aero.

A bolt in harness bar and/or 4 point system would be great. There was one company in LA that made one a few years back and then disappeared. There is a huge demand for this product right now. not a lot of guys are going to go 1500+ dollars on a welded system but could really benefit from a solid safety upgrade in the 600-800 range. It could easily be one of the "first upgrades you should do" right after brakes. It's a very real safety upgrade that every track go-er should have. But a lot of guys will not do safety upgrades because it is cost prohibitive. An affordable and effective safety upgrade would have a huge market on this car. Right now the only option is to hire someone to weld you a 4 point roll bar/cross and harness for ~1500-2200.

The lightweight hood is wishful thinking. You are not going to get a lighter than OEM hood wo $$$$$$. I do know that as of today though, someone has finished the 3D printing of a proper cooling hood vent for the 370. We have an all aluminum hood with a "skeleton" it's very tough to produce anything lighter that won't fall apart unless you want to spend some dough. if you simply pin your hood and remove all of the existing hardware, that's about as light as you can get.

Also interested in VK56 swap.

For the master cylinder, what issues are you guys having? Does it just blow the seal with a heavier clutch or abuse? I would like to find the underlying issue to make sure tossing a new part at it would fix the problem.



For the harness bar, we are working on an option for you guy actually. How many of you would be interested in one? There is one bolt in roll bar option out there I am aware of, but I want to investigate it a little farther before I try and offer them, not trying to sell/advertise sub par parts for cars that actually get used!

Or... just make the only ITB for the 370Z and everyone will be happy!
Everyone = me :)

We need more wish list threads, I like this one

derraj06 08-03-2015 08:18 PM

I desperately need a harness bar or half cage. PM me?

I'm not sure of the CMC issue exactly. I do know that most, me included, need to replace it when replacing the clutch and or the CSC as it would not allow for proper bleading of the clutch system. A new CMC was needed and has not failed since it's installation, yet.

For the "harness bar". We're looking for a safe, bolt in, option for attaching harnesses. There is a harness bar on the market, I have one. It's well built but I just use it for show. I would prefer a proper bolt in roll bar to mount my harnesses to. The problem with the roll bar that is available to purchase is that it restricts the seat from reclining, or sliding back all the way thus reducing leg room. So a new roll bar with a true bolt in option would need to address the seat issue.

Let me know when/if you have a roll bar ready to go. I am very interested. :tiphat:

Not sure how I missed this!


For the hood, if you guys are interested this is something you can get.

It starts life as a SEIBON Dry carbon hood (Not the standard hoods) and we have about 8-10 hours into skinning and cutting the inner structure from the hood to cut the weight. We would be more than happy to offer that as a service if customers would like.


But keep in mind, with something like this you loose all Latch and hinge function and would be a full pin on "race weight" hood.

With the CMC I'm not sure what it is either, I guess I could pop open my original one that failed when I did CSC. I do have to say though that our clutch fluid goes from clean to black unusually quick. Hasn't even been 5000 miles yet and mine has discolored quite a bit.

So it failed at the same time as the CSC or after during the bleeding process?


Wish I could get my hands on one that failed.

CSC was replaced when I installed my OS Giken Twin Plate.
Clutch system was working fine prior to new clutch.
After reinstalling trans with the ZSpeed CSC, CMC failed.

What happens is during bleeding the pedal won't ever fully come back up.
Replaced it with a new one after bench bleeding and within one or two bleeding it was up to full pedal

I'll try opening mine up and take some detailed pictures of the piston and cylinder, I kept it around so I could just buy a rebuild kit for it and have a spare in case I get issues again.

Np, I actually picked up the hood after Chris had removed it and it felt like three or four pounds.

Well, if you guys are feeling really ambitious and aren't limited to body parts:

A TVS or twin-screw blower kit, possibly with a nice laminova A2W IC system, big double pass HE and stout water pump. Or, I suppose, non-intercooled but with a progressive W/I system.

To keep costs down, fuel pump, injectors (with some recommendations on sizes/models maybe), and tuning could be on the end-user to sort out.

Will also need a new FG (or CF) hood to fit, I suspect....

V8 grunt without a swap :tup:

MAMotorsports 08-04-2015 11:43 AM

For the guys asking for a harness bar, you asked, we provide!

Let me know if you have any questions

#2 for me. I'm thinking of aero pieces that go on the front of the wheel wells/fender to allow air to flow over the tires. My 285 tires up front poke out from the fender a little too much.

#4 would be great. RPM rollbars does make one. RPM Rollbar - Rollbars
