So this just tightens up the shifter? I don't take my car to the track (none around), is the casual version all I need for the street? Or should I just go with the race version?

Z1Performance is no longer a sponsor here so not sure this is going to go anywhere unless another company wishes to pick it up.

While we're no longer sponsors here, yes the units worked out flawlessly and we currently have a few cars with them in both race and street versions. We didn't proceed with a big production run because there was really not sufficient demand from cthe community. That is sorta why we're not sponsors anymore, because demand in general for the 370Z parts was next to nill. So we remain focused instead on the 350Z ones which have been flying out the door for us. If the members want it, we're happy to make it however, so it really is all up to you guys

Not to sound mean, but what constitutes high demand or "enough?"
Considering in the US there are just over 10k vehicles, many of which are probably never going to be modded so. Also, when this product was announced we were just coming up on one year of the 370z, not the best way to determine interest.

Well that just kinda sucks.

Just because some of us were waiting for the announcement of the product for sale, means we won't get it at all????

Does this mean that you won't be offering ANY parts for the 370Z from your website?

Do I need to look elsewhere? ..... since my first preference is to support forum sponsors?

From the first post:

"The stock mount uses a soft rubber that is liquid filled. While it's up and down durometer rating (stiffness) is sufficient, there is alot of play side to side. This promotes that rubbery, almost vague feeling things have gear to gear. The solution for us will be a direct replacement, bolt in, urethane transmission mount that has consistent stiffness for both lateral and medial movement. You will not need to press anything or modify anything in any way. The upper portion of the mount will be cnc'd aluminum, just like the OEM unit, and the urethane section will come preinstalled so it's ready to put into the car. It will include all the required hardware as well as detailed instructions. This will benefit both the casual street driver and the more aggressive track driver equally with noticeably quicker shifts without all the slop."

No not at all - if you (the community) wants it, we'll build it. But I cannot justify doing a run yet because there was seemingly next to 0 enthusiasm expressed either on this site, or on my350Z, where we made a similar announcement in the 370Z section. When a product we are interested in making receives almost no enthusiasm from the community, that tells me the community doesn't want it. Perhaps I am wrong, and I hope I am - but the future of it will be up to the community itself. I certainly don't have any need to shell out time, and resources only to be stuck looking at shelves full of parts that aren't selling. That's part of the reason we decided to suspend our sponsorship, because in the 3 months we were here, we netted 1 single sale, and that sale was for less than $100 worth of parts (gross). The ends need to justify the means, and when you can't even realize a profit from a very small net investment, especially relative to the time we spent addressing peoples questions (we had more posts in the tech sections than we had classified posts), then that gives us a message. My own personal take was that the site has far too many sponsors as it is, but far too few participants otherwise. But, that is a separate discussion

Any products we offer for the 370Z are always listed right on our website, and are generally announced on our blog as well.

could you give us an estimate (within 50 bucks or so) how much the mount would cost and then i suggest we have people post up if they would SERIOUSLY buy it. Not a group buy or anything don't want to break forum law just a loose poll of interest. Nice job Z1 on getting on the forums and reaching out to buyers, and you have some nice products, but we are a highly "show me" group of people who don't just suck up parts because they say aftermarket. We just need more info on pricing, effect on driveability, durability, things like that. If you had a video or something that showed the reduction in movement of the transmission while driving it (i dunno tape a camcorder up under a 350z or something before and after the mount install you would probably see quite a bit more interest.

Edit: it might be even more attractive if you offered a 3 piece kit with urethane engine mounts too to really plant the torque and sell it as an all inclusive mounting solution.

As for the single sale- you guys mainly resell parts made by other companies for our cars and a lot of the some of the other vendors kill you on price I actually have you favorited in my browser and some time this year or next i will be dropping the cash for a quaif diff. Also you're test pipes while functional aren't terribly impressive. not trying to offend you just calling it as i see it (polishing isn't even an option?)
