Quick question for people who know more about this than me:
-Will I need new wheels to accomodate this kit? Tires are a given but I think I'll go ahead and melt my yokohamas first.
-I already have a LSD (nismo lol ok) but am I going to need to seriously consider upgrading clutch/flywheel etc?
-I would assume I won't need an oil cooler running forced induction...or will I?

Any tips (HEY CODY PLEASE READ) or things I should know before I seriously consider taking the plunge would be helpful.

Not to sound like a d!ck or ***, but if you're asking these kind of questions before making such a huge commitment, you might want to do some research on your own first

1) we all know how much it cost to go TT, it ain't cheap, you're about to drop a WHOLE lot of money
2) you are now putting a lot more strain on your motor, will it blow? Probably not, but can you expect to rebuild your whole money? Yes, and this will not be cheap either
3) same goes with your transmission

My advice would be to kind of read around first, get a really good understanding for yourself, and get real world experience from other members who have gone through the process and what they have to say, feedback wise.

edit:

I would guide all questions to FI, they should be able to answer any questions you have

I just woke up 20 mins ago and I'm still in bed......

dmhenderson · 03-16-2013, 01:33 PM

@Khoi I'm doing all of that but starting with you guys since you know more about this stuff than I do (edit: fixed bizarre iphone sentence)

I had a long talk with tony and I think I understand how this would need to happen now and there are several huge issues I need to figure out before taking the plunge (not the least of which is that my motor is still under warranty for 2 years).

Sorry if I gave the impression that I was just going to go "lol didn't want that ~$10k anyway". That's definitely not the case. I'm just starting my "homework".

It is sir, but I gave my word that I would be in Fairfax, and so I did.

Good to see those who could make it out today to the Fairfax meet today! Nice to meet up with Mark (Z-Stig), Jay, Ron, Randy and his daughter, Chris and his new Veloster Turbo!, Tony (who we have not seen in a while). Also, Dee dropped in with his Z which was looking very nice! Todai was awesome as usual! Here are a few pics from today. I apologize in advance for the lack of a photo of Chris' Veloster. For some reason I managed to lose it on the camera. I'll get a nice pic next time Chris!

Proof that Dee actually came to the meet, standing next to Randy and his daughter. I had other photos of the rest but those also were lost to the ether, oh well!

I manged to salvage one photo of Dee's Z with his well done headlight mod!

Ron's always clean 370Z

Randy's drop top 370Z fresh back from his 2013 National Roadtrip!

A couple of photos of Tony's award winning 370Z

eastwest2300 · 03-16-2013, 02:40 PM

Jon, you're the man dude! Tony's Z is pure sexy.... damn dude.

RandyD · 03-16-2013, 04:06 PM
