let us know if any condensation builds up. People on the 350z forums used to do that and I always wondered if they had condensation issues later down the road

I never had the nuts to split apart my lights. I was going to with my cbr, but I said fuck it.

Will do. So far, nothing. And it's been raining for about 2 weeks straight.

Thank you Kevin <3

Been several months since an update, had a lot on my plate. To catch up- ran into another CEL (4 times) and after several months discovered that it was due to a coil pack. Replaced and so far, so good.

Anyhow, had an accent on the car for a little bit:

It caught on fire... so yeah he's not on there anymore.

Installed a fin to replace the ugly antenna:

Installed some Tanabe DF210 springs:

Whatever build I was going to do I've stopped on for a bit. Decided to go for suspension and function.

Also have 2 sets of wheel spacers (too lazy to take a pic of off of the vehicle) Perrin 20 mm (for the front) and Perrin 25 mm (for the rear).
Front camber will more than likely be -0.75 to -1.00 and rear camber will be -1.25 to -1.50. The rear fenders will have to be rolled, presently waiting on a hot day to swing around to heat the paint for me in hopes of preventing any cracking.

As for function mods... I have a Grimmspeed lightweight crank pulley (red) installed and am presently going to order a Perrin pitch stop mount (red) to reduce some of the shudder in the beginning of low gears.


hows the pulley working out for ya?
i still have mine in the box (got it over winter) and haven't had the time to install it yet.

It made a bit of a difference for smoother pulls overall. For the price of the part, yeah it's worth it.

well, one of these days ill have to install it! did you do it yourself or shop?

also, kinda pissed i just replaced my topmount and didnt even think about a new pitch stop mount, that would have been super easy.



injectors and tune are coming soon.





with above stock boost have you thought about getting an AOS?

Shop did it due to crappy weather at the time. And yeah, I've taken off the tmic several times now and am kicking myself in the arse for each time I forgot to toss on the pitch stop mount. There's so much drivetrain shudder and slop in the low gears. Would really save my clutch and tranny if I got it in.

As for AOS, absolutely not. I'm tossing in two catch cans instead. Recycling that same oil back into the motor isn't such a great idea and I'm just better off pulling the yuck out and draining the cups every few months. Especially on E85. BTW, did you order Injector Dynamics or Deatschwerks?

Injector Dynamics is great. But an immediate heads up, start researching GR Stumble. You'll be investing in fixing it once you're all converted and switch to 91 every 3rd or 4th tank of gas to clear out any water. Cobb has a $225 fix for it which I have installed, but I haven't ran a tank of 91 yet.
