True but I came here because of the CSC issue. What? Thats right.... this is a 2 to 3k fix. That is peanuts compared to the problems you will find in other sports cars. For example Z06 valve train issues cause engine to crap out..15k, S65 M3 Connecting rod bearing clearance issues cause engine to crap out...25k, Hellcat superchargers dropping like flies ...12 to 15k. Mustangs cylinder #8 engine boom.
WRX STI ringland failure, GTR transmission problems. So 2 to 3k is great...

The only car I found with less problems is a newer than 2013 FRS or BRZ...but I test drove one of these and it feels really cheap and crappy....with 200 hp and the worst interior and seats I have ever sat in along with a underwhelming feeling of cheap for its exterior. Plus its slower than a camry or accord? Nah...that is a newbs car not a real performance car.

OT but it's even cheaper than 2-3k... Zspeed HD CSC is only $325 and labor about $400. Add a Z1 clutch/flywheel while you're in there and you end up with a pretty nice upgrade for right around $1500.

Is the flywheel worth the extra chatter?

Don't want to go too OT, but ZSpeed's is pretty easy to get along with. Probably heard from the outside, but then if you gun it, it's pretty much nonexistent. Inside, I hear the engine and tires much more.

Anyway, lights.

Anyone have any new information for tail lights yet?

cooltoy · 03-10-2017, 02:21 PM

I have not gotten any responses back, not even from the guy that was supposedly going to Japan to meet with them.

I have e-mailed anybody that makes lights and nothing. Not even a sorry we will not be making them.

I will try to yank their chain again. But it does not look good.

Appreciate the work mate. Such a shame

I think this maybe the only option out there right now.

JDM Taillights modding?

killrain · 05-31-2017, 07:53 PM

I need to get an extra pair and see what damage I can do

YouTube "owens 370z custom taillights"
A company called yunique LED and retrofits can customize our stock ones

See my post just above.

Aznsensazn · 05-31-2017, 08:28 PM

I mean those look nice, but they still look very similar to the stock ones.

I was kinda hoping for some of the other stuff on this thread

Hope springs eternal.
