A little update on the car...

This Sunday I will be picking the car up from Berk Technology after the cat-back exhaust development. When I pick it up, the car will have the stock exhaust back on it and Berk will get to work making a production version for me to test. Once I get back to Vegas I will do another baseline with the stock cat-back since I never dynoed with the JWT pop-chargers and the temperature here has gone up 40 degrees since my last dyno. So this way I will have a good baseline before installing the Berk Cat-Back. Once its installed its off to the dyno again to see the gains.

After I pick up the car at Berk on Sunday, I am going to hang around SoCal Monday and hit up a few other manufacturers before heading back to Vegas that night. My first stop on Monday will be BRIDE seats. They have gotten a set of 370Z rails in for Japan to verify fitment on a US 370Z so I will swing by there to test fit them real quick. If they fit, a whole batch of them will be ordered! Unfortunately I will not be buying a set of BRIDE seats for my car right away due to budget restraints. My second stop will be to Forgestar wheels for some measurements to see if a 19x10 and 18x10 rim will fit up front, and also to double check 18" clearance over the sport package brakes.

I will get the car back to Vegas Monday night and starting Tuesday the thrashing will begin to prepare the car for the upcoming time attack! Here's the punch list for the next 2 weeks.

- New baseline dyno
- Install Berk Cat-Back Exhaust
- Dyno test Berk Cat-Back Exhaust
- Finally get around to making a mounting bracket kit for the Mishimoto Oil Cooler
- Re-Install Mishimoto Oil Cooler and change oil.
- Install Carbonetic 1.5 Way Carbon Limited Slip Differential
- Break in Carbonetic 1.5 Way Carbon Limited Slip Differential and change diff oil.
- Install Nismo 60mm Wheel Studs
- Get Nitto NT05 tires mounted on a second set of 19" Forgestar F14 wheels. 19x9/19x10 - Piano black w/neon stripe
- Re-Install Hawk HP+ brake pads
- Get cracked windshield replaced
- Re-check alignment and corner weights
- Wash/Wax
- Get "time attack" vinyl layout installed.

Sounds like a sound plan Mike, but you will be busy for sure.

Why did you remove the oil cooler?

I removed it so I can make a mounting bracket kit to sell along with it since its a universal oil cooler kit. It was originally mounted to my car via a really crappy mounting bracket I made from scrap metal. I just wanted to test it to make sure it worked well enough first. Now I will attempt to come up with a mounting soloution that looks a bit more professional and is easy to make into a kit.

Forgot I ordered these, but I will install these SPC Rear Toe Bolts as well. Since the location of the rear camber arm also affects toe, these will allow a more precise alignment in the back. Now I just wish SPL would come out with front camber arms... I am trying to wait as long as I can but might have to go with SPC front camber arms if it takes too much longer.

SPC, SPL ... what's a letter between friends? FYI Travis tried to install the SPC upper control camber arms and hit a fitment snag, probably want to see the result of that first.

Yeah I heard about it. I am not ready to pull the trigger soon on any front control arms. After this next time attack in a few weeks the series moves to the midwest/east coast and doesn't come back out west until the end of September. I will do a few regular track days in between I am sure but I am in no rush for front camber arms. After this race I will shift focus a bit to the aesthetic side of things.

SPC is sending me a different part to try next week... I believe the current part, the one that doesn't fit, is a 1-1 match from their G37 part. They want to try the G35 part next... They should be paying me for this !!!

Well I hope the G35 part fits! That would mean that I can get SPL Parts front control arms.

So basically what you're saying is that SPC starting selling this part without test fitting it on a 370Z at all? That's pretty bad IMO. Bascially they are now using you as a guinea pig which means they should give you the parts for free.
