The GREEN wire in the harness is the power to the YAW sensor.

The Oil Temp from drifting or any spirited activity goes mental in the 370z so Z1 makes an awesome kit to keep the oil temps in control.







I ran the lines a bit different from the instructions

Chris Forsberg was super kind with advice and sold me his DG5 coilovers (front spring 12 kg/mm & rear spring 10 kg/mm) from his Z (His race car does not use this spring rate). With it came advised alignments specs of 1/8" out front and 1/8" in the rear.

Helped with Alignment, corner balance, test drives, feedback on shock setup, and some fab work.







Added some Project Mu hand brake pads (aka d1 pads) Huge thanks to conceptzperformance.com for helping me source most of my parts.



Swaybars are super beefy and help a lot in the dry


Miro made a bracket to hold the fire extinguisher



Really strong and excellent build quality



I also asked him to make a hand brake extension that could retain the use of the parking brake function.


With a Drift Knob its perfect.
