Put the brake booster and master cylinder back in it's home. Being under the dash with broad shoulders was a real treat with having cluster phobic issues. I was wedged in upside down under the dash with the door cracked open with extremely limited arm movements. I was pretty happy being done with that...

I then moved onto simpler pastures and put my coil pack mounts back on my valve covers. Shockingly, the powder coating is almost the same. I did the shade from memory blending paints. The accent color is the perfect amount, not too much. Yeah it's a loud color... but this whole thing is ridiculous so why not.

I was about to put the engine in after I did my power steering cross over line but hit a snag. The Sikky line is not at all low profile for my needs; however, the line going to the PS pump looks top notch with AN lines and such. I reached out to the LS Z/G swap community and received a few suggestions from people. There's a guy in California that works on drift cars that is about to do a low mount option for the 370z. I told him to stop f*cking around and take my money so he is going to MAYBE have something made next week (as seen in the picture). I also talked to Bryan Settle and he said that I could have clocked my PS rack... You know, I could have used my Morosso pan if I knew that? 100% would have done that. I'm not doing that this late in the game. Pshhhh. Pshhhhhhhhh. PSHSHHHHSHS.....

On a different note, I've ordered my Black Sheep Industries 45mm waste gates. They have been sold out since November. The owner reached out to me and told me they were in stock. I had to snap them up quick because I suspect they will go back out of stock in short order. The BSI. wastegates are really cool because they have a piston instead of a diaphragm and are pretty much bullet proof for my needs. I was going to use VS racing... but... that's made out of Chinesium and have had some pretty bad failures with people. I wanted the piece of mind.

Last item. This one is a pretty big bomb. I was torn on what to exactly do with my rear diff and axels. I have my answer. I am a proud owner of a Winters Quick Change rear diff. This will address any gearing issues and breaking issues with my rear end. My specific Winters has ALL the bells and whistles for hardening. I fell into it. My buddy was going to use it for his sandrail but had to go a different direction. I put a message out to MA Motorsports about the rear subframe. I'm not going to get too excited about this because I can't use it until next year. I have other commitments with my car.
