No price on the cat-back yet, but I have a for sale thread on the GTSPEC braces here...

DDMotorsports: GTSPEC 4 Point Ladder Brace!

People just keep coming up with stuff I want. It's like consumerist heaven in here... buy! buy! BUY!

This one is definitely added to my list. Thanks for offering it.

Preparation for Round #2 of the Redline Time Attack has begun! The next race is May 30th & 31st out at Willow Springs. Here is the punch list to do before the event...

- Berk Technology exhaust development (in progress @ Berk Technology)
- Change oil & re-install Mishimoto oil cooler
- Re-install Hawk HP+ brake pads
- Install Nismo 60mm wheel studs
- Get Nitto NT05 tires mounted on 19" Forgestar F14 wheels
- Get cracked windshield fixed

- Remove trunk area plastics/spare tire/subwoofer
- Re-align and corner balance if necessary.
- Get new vinyl decal layout on the car

Unfortunately the 18" Forgestar F14s wont be ready in time for this upcoming race so I went ahead and ordered a second set of 19" in 19x9 front, 19x10 rear.

The Nitto NT05 tires showed up yesterday! 245 front, 275 rear...

The 60mm Nismo wheel studs also showed up...

And here is a crappy rendering of how the car will look with the new wheels and vinyl layout for Round #2...

Loving the green accents. The second round will be a lot of fun!

Picked up a rock on the way down to to the JTuned Meet a few weekends ago. I called a glass repair place and they told me that they didn't have any windshields for the 370Zs yet and to call back in a month lol.

miguez · 05-07-2009, 04:03 PM

Damn, that blows! How much is a new windshield?

Don't know yet.

Itching to get the car back now from Berk. I will be at Willow Springs on the 22nd testing for a time attack team in an Evo. There is a N.A.S.A. event and Super Lap Battle Qualifier the 23rd-24th at Willow Springs as well. If my wheels get here on time and everything else is ready on the car I may do that event as well.

miguez · 05-11-2009, 03:40 PM

Hey DDM,

Yep, read about the Super Lap Battle on Import Tuner, I saw Team Tarzan's dominance of the previous race, pretty incredible machine they have there!

Will be awesome to hear your results, looking forward to it! And give that Evo hell, you lucky guy

!

M.Bonanni · 05-11-2009, 03:42 PM

Haha thanks man. That Cusco/Tomei car that won the last super lap battle is an incredible machine if you ever get the chance to look at it in detail.

M.Bonanni · 05-11-2009, 03:49 PM

Back to the 370Z...

I have officially started shopping for an aftermarket LSD.

Hey DDM,

I have been following your track reports, but I was wondering what exactly are you looking for in an after market LSD that the stock does not have? Also, would the LSD cooler we have seen in some Japanese and press versions help any with your problem/shortcoming?

Thanks,
