I have auto so clutch is out of question, i might go for valve body upgrade but then again later. My frist priority is to get on the FI ladder then do the upgrades later on. same goes for boost controller etc. All of the people I have seen with 350Z are with aftermarket radiator? maybe its different case with ours then isint?

Already have a GTM oil cooler so cooling part should as, will decide between tuner and turn key kit, tuner is very nice but with lots of 350z and G37 havent seen any VQ37 TT with him yet but not taking that as an issue

Thanks man

Boost controller is just for preference. I decided not to get one just for the sake that I'm going to be playing with it too much :rofl2:

Just curious, did you end up buying the Clutch from CZP?

Btw, awesome that you finally went with Jay and Jack. I did that for my SC and now I wouldn't have it any other way. I'd recommend that everyone in Florida and surroundings considers this option, top notch mechanic and tuner.

Where at in Florida is this shop ? I'm in south Louisiana (about 10hrs from Disney) and looking into most likely GTM SC stg 2 kit. If there close enough i'd like to go too someone that has done a 370 or two before.

KaienZ34 10-26-2010 03:43 PM

I'll be in Disney World nov. the 17th through the 23rd :bowrofl:can i have a ride in this beauty. LoL

xbigb4ller69z 10-26-2010 04:02 PM

I live over by Dulles Airport in VA.

BTW, We have recieved all the stage-2 components from Sam (GTM) but no weekend time (at the moment) to install it. I would really like to come check out a finished product. Will you PM me your contact info please?

yes sir will do. You also need to take vacaton time to do the install. 2 weeks should be plenty. Also I have alot of the tools you will need to do the install such as drill bits and taps they can get expensive. I will give them to you to cut on the cost. also you will need a 90 deg drill so you can get into the tight spots. Also before you start make sure you have enough extra cash to send the car some where to have it looked at. I can't stress this enough. You want to protect your investment.

Well, if you get tired of boost and want to swap cars, let me know! Haha. At least show Chris that the 370 is faster than the 350. My old turbo kit is in his car.

jnaut 10-28-2010 10:08 AM

Ill try to post up some pics, just been busy with the tt kit. Everything is going alone well.

Jason just sent me a few pictures of the install, and we're getting a little closer... . I ordered the AAM oil pan spacer Friday, as it was recommend it for a bigger oil capacity and to prevent drilling into the oil pan. It's FI friendly per say... Everything is coming along together just fine!

You should really follow the instruction and install the turbo oil return in the pan and not in a spacer, adding a spacer is ok to increase engine oil capacity but will not do as good of a job when installing the turbo oil returns in the oil pan. The VQVHR engine has a lot of oil pressure (higher then the average engine) and ball bearing turbos are very sensitive to oil pressure and return volume .

He has spoken........

Yeah, I'm sending the oil pan spacer back, just to be safe.

is anyone familiar with this?

ARK DESIGN Multi Function Dash (Engine Rev , Throttle Opening, Injector Opening, Vehicle Speed, Simple A/F , Water Temprature)

I currently have the prosport gauges, but I'm thinking about swapping for the MFS2. Any inputs?

Looks good, just make sure it works properly with Nissan and you can tap properly for boost. I know some companies who make these are designed for cars that are boosted from factory since the factory ECU has a built in boost reader.

wishihadnav 11-05-2010 01:47 PM

that looks great!...Dreamer is correct to make sure they have an optional sensor/adaptor for boost..
