Wow! great progress so far.
So jealous of you! that track looks awesome compared to what we have here.. I was wondering, what is the best mod you've done so far in terms of value? I'm not talking about performance mods but mods that help the track experience a lot. I tracked my car once and it was pretty good minus the fuel starvation issue, so it seems that is the best thing to fix before going back there.. but unfortunately the fix is really expensive. |

The track is somehow new, opened in 2004, and it is designed specifically for Bikes. I think we are lucky we have this track, wishfully, it opens more for car track days. As far as mods, the most beneficial mods as follow: Oil cooler brake and clutch ss lines with rbf600 brake pads the starvation has a cheaper fix, fill it up but as you get faster in turns, you will experience it earlier, myself, I get it at 2/3 mark with street tires, so I needed it badly and bought it before upgrading tires. Other mods will keep the car cooler and to use it continually, but oem brake pads are just awful if the track has fast straights, I tried different cars at track and the Z has the worst brakes, it get better with brake fluid and pads. Other than that, swaybars could do a great job in changing the handling, I wasn't able to have less than 2:37 because of excessive understeer, changed rear sway to full stiff, and dropped 3 seconds, with room for better lap time.

Was excited today as Fedex dropped a package at my house, the moment I arrived I went to open the package as I figured it is CJM RRP.
Opened it and what a LETDOWN received wrong item, hopefully it will not take a lot of time to get a replacement.

I think I am getting more skilled at driving as I got fuel starvation earlier than before, maybe Nissan did it on purpose so you will know you are becoming a better driver, I am at level 13 on PSS
LOL at the noise machine in front of me So, called it a day after the first turn, as I am expecting to receive CJM RRP within a week and would like to keep the car ready for the work as soon as I receive it.

So my Z is in the shop for some serious stuff
During CJM RRP installation we found that the stock fuel pump is broken (hat broken) which in turn is the culprit to the excessive fuel starvation I face, so I will have a temporary fix until receiving CJM fuel pump hat.

So the car went for some serious installations listed as follow
- CJM Road Race Fuel Pump - Zeal Function-X coilover (Hard) by Endless - SPL PRO Front Upper Camber/Caster Arms - SPL TITANIUM Rear Camber Arms - SPL TITANIUM Rear Traction Arms - SPL Eccentric Lockout Kit - RJM Fully Adjustable Clutch Pedal System - Z1 Solid Engine Mounts - Z1 urethane gear mount - Zspeed undershroud cover - Motul 300v 0w40 full synthetic oil - Nismo oil filter - Z1 Magnetic drain plug Will go for a photoshoot after adjusting the height of the car and wash it. My most satisfying mod and impression with the list, RJM clutch pedal, cannot imagine how I lived all this time without it. Most unpleasant, Solid engine mounts, the build quality was superb, but I would advise anybody to stay away from them if they daily drive their cars, the vibration and noise is just excessive.

So went to the track, and what a feeling when you are enjoying your session and suddenly low fuel range pop up the surface was a little slippery, managed to get better laptimes but had an incident where I lost the traction of my rear tires suddenly and thankfully didn't end up in the rails, just some minor dents on my wheels . Still need more tweaks to the coilovers and more track time to see where I get the best feel out of the car.
So to do, - soften rear sway bar. - lower the rear side of the car. - change alignment settings to a less aggressive ones. want to get the car to understeer as much as possible, before dialing it to be balanced. Has a track day on 17/2 which I hope the surface will be better than yesterday to get more consistent feel.

Hi my friend I want to ask you something about the DEI Reflect a Gold tape that do you use on the Stillen Gen 3 Intakes. How much tape did you use to wrap them? Do you notice the difference using this tape on the intakes?
I was thinking on buy the 2"x 15' tape but I dont know if was enough for both intakes and im want to make sure that they really work Let me know! Thanks! Last edited by carlitos_370z; 02-22-2017 at 06:11 AM. |

Hi Carlitos, thanks for being interested in my build
About the gold wrap, I didn't do any testing of before and after for air temp as my obd2 port is locked and the tuner didn't unlock it, also, I am lazy to go back to him to unlock it I used a 30x2 tape that I got from my friend (he used no more than 6 inches) and it was enough to wrap the intakes from throttle to the line of radiators. Another friend is installing intakes on his G37 currently and have a full 30x2 tape and I can check how much he will use.
