No new updates, everything postponed until I return from Spain, I will go on Saturday, and will not be back for two weeks, at least, my orders should be delivered when I get back.

I made an order with Joe@zspeed for OS Giken CMAK kit, yes, they are available now. Also, Z1 shipped most of my parts with exception for 4 items, which shouldn't be an issue to install all other parts.

Update

That was super quick from Joe, I received my CMAK on Saturday before traveling, kudos to him, very helpful guy, I was insisiting on him for the past weeks on when he will finish OS specific kit.

Also my brother received my Z1 shipment today. Photos will follow when I have time.

Now I can say all parts are in place, time for some serious work.

It is hitting me hard

without considering any fancy bodykits.

Forgot to include this, Zspeed CMAK for OS Giken clutches

Also, I have RJM HD CMC and CJM fuel pump hat

such a beautiful piece, shame it will be hidden, even my mechanic is impressed with it.

So after I posted the photos, I have a little time to summarize the work that is in progress.

1- Transmission:
OS Giken HTR2CD (more hardcore than STR but less than TR and TS if I remember correctly).
Zspeed CMAK CSC delete
RJM HD CMC
Fresh oil and clutch fluid (MT85 & SRF)

2- Differential:
Also OS Giken
Nismo Final drive ratio 3.9
SPL diff bushings
Z1 high capacity diff cover
Z1 subframe collars
All new bearings, sleeves, seals
OS Oil

3- Brakes and hubs:
All axles new Z1 rotors ring
Front Carbotech XP10 and XP8 rear
All axles new wheel hubs
ARP extended studs
10mm rear spacers (to get front +22 offset and rear +12)
And open end lug nuts for the extended studs

4- MOAR Cooling:
Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator
Infiniti G37 thermostats (10 degree less than 370z)
Z1 hoses
Nissan blue antifreeze + Mocool

5- Others:
New fuel pump + CJM hat
SuperPRO Urethane Bushes - front lower arm - rear control arm - rear trailing arm.
Fresh Castrol Edge 0w40
Nismo oil filter
Fresh Motul ATF for power steering
and finally installed my R888R on ZE40

will take the chance to clean air intake filters. Also, will get new corner balance.

Currently, the transmission has been finished, the diff looked like near finish when I passed by, the hubs-brakes were in progress as well as fuel pump, rest are pending. I hope tomorrow or Thursday the car will be ready.

This was the big upgrade I was hoping to do during last summer, but the accident delayed all plans, nevertheless, it is happening now and I am very excited to see the results.

Cannot beat that TT build of yours, done by one of the best in business

But it is so deep, I started feeling it, specially with all shipping expense

Those sexy wheels

welcome back on the car

And I am still able to amaze my workshop with new parts

one of my friends and a very old member who sold his 370z a long time ago, was looking in his store and found these, called me and I snapped them

Rear subframe and diff still down, needed shims and luckily found them at dealer. Also, rear sway bar will get back on the car, as I feel current stagger setup needs them badly.

Those are finished, I know they are only studs but they looks awesome

Radiator in place as well

Took the chance to clean the filters.

I think I need new hoses, found them cracked in some places and have been taped as a quick fix.

The bad news, there is only 5 trackdays left this season, one is tomorrow that I cannot participate in (maybe will use the srt or use a friend car) and four autox events, not sure if they will add more events later on. I need to finish it quickly and break in the clutch.
