Here's link for actual 370Z if you want to dig thru. I can't imagine there are any differences in clutch/flywheel

Crap, I can't find my clutch alignment tool... The flywheel is on...

COSMO · 05-07-2014, 09:32 AM

Well I'm postponed until my clutch alignment tool arrives...

Got my gtm 3" down pipes wrapped and my csf radiator in.

COSMO · 05-08-2014, 06:31 PM

Titanium wrap

Got my flywheel and clutch on finally since I had to order another clutch alignment tool so now the only thing left to go on before dropping the built motor is the CJM S1 RFS system I just purchased. Charles told me with the motor out it would be a lot easier to do the install. Turbo's and 3" gtm down pipes are wrapped up for heat and my new csf radiator should help with heat. This week I will tackle the rear diff bushings.

Any updates yet Cosmo?

It's been so busy lately and other projects I have I know I need to finally get this motor in there. I have almost finished the fuel return system and just need to heat wrap the fuel lines. Tonight I may drop the motor in... What really bothers me now is Bobby not sending my blue-print of my built motor after I have requested it several times.
Btw how is your TT kit holding up, any issues?

fuct · 05-29-2014, 09:52 AM

i can understand your concern Cosmo. you'd think a copy would have been presented with the motor almost as a sign that it was done. kinda like getting an alignment print out.

maybe they just forgot and its on a thumb drive somewhere!

I'm looking for a small fire extinguisher for mount behind the front seats on the cross bar support. Remember seeing one a while back in a pic someone posted up but cant find it now..

well the brackets are $4, and the extinguisher is around $40, go to the nearest store with fishing supplies it's just a boat extinguisher.

You should get an AFFF fire system with nozzles in the passenger compartment and the engine bay, e.g. E.S.S. 2.3 Liter AFFF SFI Fire System - SafeRacer . Way easier to grab a pull-cable on the dash if the car's on fire than try to wrestle with a manual extinguisher mounted behind you. If it's still a street car, running the lines unobtrusively (hide them behind the plastics?) is a little challenging, but it would be way worth it if you ever did have an engine fire.

Yeah just remember not to breathe in the halon or you will die, every street car should have one.

Edit: Wait cosmo you should get one.

Maybe I should hang some fishing lures up as well.

I'm not kidding they are boat extinguishers, fire departments regulate cylinder size and type so if you get one that is refillable they are all the EXACT same thing. or you can get a fancy one this is from livorsi marine

or one of these but they are bitch to work with gloves on
