Half of the original batch made is still here in stock. Most of people on the pre-order list did not complete the transaction when the product was finally available. However, this was expected as the product price landed probably 25-35% higher than I think people were expecting. Unfortunately it is expensive to do tons of CAD work and run CNC machines for products of such low volume. 6 of them have been sold, 6 remain here.

After the last 6, I will determine if any more will be made. There will most likely be a second batch produced since all the ground work is complete.

I do a lot of big sweeping rights while at 4 dots getting home from work. I have been known to do it in a spirited way, and I have heard of enough guys getting stuck looking for a gallon of gas to get off the highway shoulder!!!
Please Pm with PayPal info and I would love to get one of your overstock pieces! Also I don't track, but definitely will be soon. So, thanks for the input but I'm loving this mod.

Thanks

phunk: don't lose hope on selling more of them. From what I've been seeing at HPDE's around here the past year or two, I really think the era of 370's at DEs is only just beginning. Earlier on the cars were all too new. Now there's more of them on the used market, and more owners comfortable taking a little more risk, more of them are second-hand, etc. A year and a half ago it was normal for my car to be the only 370Z I saw at an event, and now it's not uncommon to see 3-4 others the same weekend, although we're still outnumbered by the 350s.

Your part is a pretty elegant solution to a pretty serious design problem that every track 370Z driver will face over time, so you're pretty much guaranteed to sell these things I think.

I agree! Glad you were patient with the prog and did it right... hopefully you can sell a couple dozen a year once more cars are out there running DEs

BTW, I sent you an email tonight asking for quote

I also wish this wasnt so expensive. That and the fact that it looks like a very difficult and stressful install.

Considering the time and R&D it's about right. If all the people that originally said they would get one would of, it would of helped some. I was looking for about $700-800 my self. But when you think what you get out of this in the long run. Well worth it. Most people only want to spend money on mods others can physically see. They even over look a good LSD. Installing requires patience. But now that I have this. I would of paid more.

Definitely mod of this generation Z.

Ok, It Just sounded a bit like you were flaming me for liking this one. I did check out your build. It looks pretty cool.

Just placed my order. 4 left.



Phunk thanks for all the hard work in developing this for us. I look forward to this season not having to top off and completing a session with less the 3/4 tank.

Default chassis ground points

Does anyone have a pic of exactly where the ground wire contacts the chassis? I dont get power to the pump and I want to rule out an incorrect chassis ground point. I drilled a hole in the metal panel where the seatbelt screws in...

Did you scrap any of the paint down to bare metal around the hole you drilled?
