Just got this baby from Home Depot . I was planning on making the protective cage for the Fuel Cell with square tubings, but I haven't really figure out where to mount the fuel cell yet. The car is really gutted out though, so I'll have many options as to where to put the cell. But I'll keep you guys updated, or maybe you suggest the best location for me after the fuel cell cage is done. |

Hi guys, I am sure some of you may notice that our Zs clutch pedal gets kind of soft and sometimes does not extend back to it's position when the car gets hot.
I ran into this problem while I was on the track few weeks ago, and it annoyed the heck out of me. It tends to happen on the 3rd lap when things starting to be fun, and when you start to get warmed-up, but you are forced to come back into the pit because of this problem. I am so disappointed at Nissan for doing such a poor job with it's clutch slave cylinder. Anyway, I've done some research on the forum and found that Z1 Motorsports actually has a fix for this. So I went ahead and order the Concentric Clutch Slave Cylinder Kit which should fix the problem, along with the Z1 Clutch & Flywheel Combo. I also upgraded the Clutch Disc to a Z1 Racing Disc, knowing that I am going to turbo charge the vehicle. I was told by Z1 that this particular setup should hold the power that I am aiming to make. I'll keep you guys updated once I have the car back on track regarding the clutch combo. Here are some of the items received a few days ago, and they are going to be installed in the following days along with the turbo. I haven't really clean the oil that came with the flywheel, it just came out of its plastic bag.

CJ-Motorsports Fuel Return System has arrived. Charles was kind enough to sell me part of it's CJM S1 system after realizing that I do not need the entire package since I am using the ATL fuel cell, "thanks for the effort Charles!". Here's what I got from Charles.
I've decided to go with FSTPerformance inline fuel filter, that's not from Charles though. It's a 4 micron filter, and it's fairly popular in Nascars I believe. Can't wait to put all these on the car

Can't believe I found this picture from way back in the days. I am feeling old already, since this pic was taken about 10 years ago lol.
It always remind me of some good old time, looking at it.

ATL Fuel Cell Installtion
The long awaited ATL Fuel Cell has arrived after like 2 months I believe. I've already sent it out to Pit Garage in El Monte for the skeleton, that is going to be made of stainless steel square tubings. Then it will mounted with either L brackets or be welded to the chassis.
I'll keep you guys posted with more pictures in the following days. Forgot to mention that it comes with a certificate. I am sure some racing sanction body will require this paper upon inspection.

Thanks Carlitos, I am hoping it looks good mounted as well I'm hoping to get some pics updated as soon as I get them from my welder friend. I was going to make the fuel cell cage myself initially, but I think Kevin, my friend will do a way better job though.

Hey Rusty, what does "disc in not sprung" means? I am kinda like a newb to that term. You meant those 6 pads disc? If that's the case, Z1 one was suggesting the disc they sent me. I was told it will hold the power, and it was tested with their turbo charged Zs.
