Charles:

Have you looked at the clutch and such yet? I am hoping that you will say something like "of course not Rob, I am too busy developing parts to drop my tranny right now", lol. I hope you get that worked out pretty soon man. Both of our cars can't be down right now........

Haven't touched the car since I backed it off the trailer and parked it in the shop! Without a new clutch in hand, might as well keep the car in running/driving shape in case I feel like driving it. That is, until today when I took the insurance off it. Going to put it on jack stands tomorrow or Monday and it's not going anywhere for a while... Going to change a "few" things!

edit: i picked up another car to drive 2 weeks ago so i dont have to drive the Z every day anymore.

Uh Oh.............You have me worried again. I am going to be broke purchasing your S2-SE, RRP, and manifold/plenum. Unless you plan on going a different route with the plenum.

I dont want to say exactly what I am doing at this point because I am not yet 100% certain that I wont start parting the car to sell it the next few weeks. We are going to finish the intake manifold either way, but some of the other stuff is pending if I keep the car or not. I have been looking at Vipers again (i used to build them but never owned one), and you can get 2006 coupes for like $40 now... I dislike several things about the car, but the platform is much better suited for doing the things I want to do. If I keep the Z, I will have some pretty cool stuff to show.

The Viper is pretty awesome. You definitely have to do suspension work and the like to make it handle well. Otherwise, it is awesome out of the box.

I sincerely hope you don't part out and sell, but I won't be mad at you if you do.

This makes me a little sad that you might part the Z. And id rather see you get a 996TT over a viper. Just my two cents. Good luck either way.

Well I ordered some Carillo rods yesterday to join my CP 10:1 I have sitting around, and I located a HR engine (good bye VVEL) in florida that meets my specs for a good price... so far it looks like I will be turning it up a notch with the Z. We will still see though. I figured I should have the parts ready to go, I can still sell them for my cost or higher (surely having things ready to ship is worth a few bucks versus having to wait 4+ weeks for 10:1 CPs) if I bail out.

Still have to figure out a clutch though. I tried to contact RPS about their carbon race clutches but they havent responded. I have to find someone to work with that can build a VQ clutch that can handle some serious power.

I also have to talk to Haltech about what they can do for the 370z... with VVEL gone I can run any standalone, but I would prefer something that works with the CAN.

OH, and I am pulling my Greddy kit over the next couple weeks.. it is for sale! If I keep the car its getting much larger turbos, if I dont keep it, I obviously have no use for the Greddy kit anymore! I am working on getting a fresh set of manifolds for the Greddy kit right now since I am sure by now one of the manifolds is cracked.

25G12cm2 are much larger and will fit in that location, but you will definitely have to support the weight somehow........

I dont think anything bigger is going to the fit the Greddy manifolds. My 20gs are within MM of the chassis! A car with good motor mounts and flex sections in the exhaust shouldnt need any supports for the turbos, unless the turbo is mounted away from the cylinder heads.

We will just make some exhaust manifolds like we did for Justin's 350z. I am currently looking at the HTA3582s.

Charles just get the OS Giken Triple Disc clutch that's what I have it is rated for 1000 HP. If you need more than that then get he OS Quad Disc.

When I get the clutch removed from my 370z to figure out what went wrong, I will contact OS Giken and see if there is anything they can do with building me something using some of the existing parts or what not. I am not sure if they have anything that will hold up for my project or not.

Does this mean fuel rails for the HR motor could be in the horizon?

I dont think the engine is coming with the lower intake manifold and fuel rails, so i wouldnt be able to use it for HR rails :/
