So I can by a motec ecu and 370z specific wiring harness from motec and plug them in? Always thought whatever vitviper made turned out to be vaporware. Finished but never actually purchasable.

It uses the M150 stand alone. They don't have a specific wiring harness for the Z. The ECU is tunable and has all the software. The wiring is the hard part.

Second Samsung tablet arrived for Brainiac kit. First one bought on Amazon was clearly poorly repaired. Cost $330. Found a brand new one on Amazon with 1 day shipping for $360. Only problem now is I need a windows computer to root the damn thing and I don't have one.

have to say I'm pretty annoyed with myself.
Heavy rain yesterday. The portions of the seatbelt that were inside the seatbelt track are wet. And the surrounding plastic seemed a little slimy. After looking at some threads here decide to make sure my weather stripping is properly seated. Broke the brittle black plastic on one of the b pillar clip retainers. Then completely cracked the a pillar plastic right above the driver door. Annoyed with myself but also annoyed with this damn car.

Ouch

SeeThruHead · 07-06-2021, 04:10 PM

Actually looks really good. Would prefer the manual/toyota version over the supra anyday.

Ive been eyeballing evoras lately.

Ordered some more pointless stuff that I think is cool. (Carbon center console replacement)
Spending small money to avoid having enough to spend big money on actual upgrades.

The carbon parts are made in china so who knows how uniform the weave will be. Or how well the clips etc will line up.

Got it in matter carbon finish. If it looks good I may get some more done in matte.

Instagram is here https://www.instagram.com/onefor_z_forcarbon/
though i can't vouch as it will be 6 weeks or so before it arrives for inspection.

It does look pretty decent tho:

Getting pretty discouraged about modifications tho. Apparently in Ontario basically every insurance agency has a clause that if you don't disclose your modifications they can deny your claim. And if you do disclose your modifications 99.9999% of companies will not insure you.

And it's not that they will not cover $$ for the modifications. They can flat out deny any claim and then drop you from insurance forever. Having your insurance cancelled has to be disclosed to your next insurance provider preventing you from getting decent insurance.

The Insurance Dilemma with Modified Cars

From what I can tell everyone just lies to insurance and hope they get away with it. Hiding mods from insurance doesn't seem that hard unless someone rams your from behind totalling the car and the insurance agency has to send someone out to check it.

Which is really unfortunate because for me, the process of customization and upgrading over time is really the fun part. Not actually having the fast car.

Damn, that sucks, man.

Move out of America's hat and into Freedomville.

SeeThruHead · 07-12-2021, 06:44 PM

got some "Diamond" cat mats i ordered a few weeks ago.

Fit pretty well. 165$ canadian.

Not sure if I keep them but they were an impulse buy anyway. Pretty sure all the 100 resellers of this come out of the same factory in China.

SeeThruHead · 07-28-2021, 11:07 AM

This is the kind of **** I love. Just got myself my first 3d printer. Have set it up but not printed anything yet. Going to print a fix for my broken b pillar tab first.

SeeThruHead · 07-28-2021, 07:12 PM

SeeThruHead · 09-06-2021, 07:11 PM

installed my grounding kit.
i know it probably does nothing but it was a small fun thing for me to do. didn't cost much.

dropped the negative battery terminal nut into the engine bay. Had to remove the batter and battery mount to get it. Almost didn't find it.
Lots of decaying leaves under the battery mount tho. Cleaned up the area as much as I could.
