no, but I remember you and SOMEONE ELSE talking about the mount... maybe it was Alan or Wstar ???

I'm using a chasecam, it comes with its own mount setup...

I'm 50/50 for my event this weekend... if I go, will def have video...

wstar · 05-14-2009, 11:00 PM

It was me, I have the mount. Haven't shot any good video with it yet though.

Anyone try putting speedbleeder valves on yet ? Automobile Applications

Guessing we need this one SB1010

ChrisSlicks · 05-17-2009, 10:06 AM

Seems like a good idea, although if you buy 8 of the stainless pieces you're half way to buying a power bleeder.

Updates... my car is with Redline Motorsports right now... MANY projects going on... highlights

1- the first set of upper control arms from SPC did not fit... SPC sent another set and THEY FIT PERFECT!!! I believe the second set are the same part from the G35, but LET ME VERIFY before you do anything rash! will update here later UPDATE... SPC CONTROL ARMS FROM G37 SEDAN FIT OUR CAR, BUT THE G37 COUPE PART DOES NOT FIT

2- the coilovers are installed and look great... with multi-link in the rear, it is really not possible to adjust ride height lower than what is natural for the spring, but you can increase height somewhat by adjusting the collar on the rear dampers... the fronts are obviously freely adjustable for ride height... this issue will be the same regardless of coilover... ultimately though, we think it won't matter, as these coilovers/springs in the rear are set where they need to be - if a bit on the low side... we bumped it up just a hair... will get pics later

With front/rear SPC parts and coilovers, I'm now free to make most of the adjustments I need... To take it one step further, I may look into the SPC rear toe bolts that DDM is selling DDM Project 370Z

3- Redline is preparing a dual core oil cooler, parallel flow setup for me... the advantage of this setup I understand is that it allows a higher flow rate than running through one, then another, then back... instead it will run simultaneously through both cores and return oil more quickly... we are also installing a 52mm Defi pressure gauge defi red racer pressure DF06602 - Google Product Search we'll see if this works! seems like it will look perfect in place of the clock !

4- Big news !!! DDM shipped me JWT clutch and JWT flywheel... they were installed today and fit PERFECT... the car was on the lift as of 5pm when i stopped by the shop, so there has not yet been any test drive or whatever, but everything fits and that's a good start !

5- Along with the clutch and flywheel, i had them install a different clutch cable and pilot bearing c/o IIP... should allow me to position the clutch pedal in a better position for my personal preference and the bearing is said to be an upgrade and perhaps eliminates the 'clanking' noise when you press the clutch in... we'll see... will be hard to attribute the changes considering all the stuff we're swapping

6- Surprise ! I'm also having a Carbonetic 1.5 LSD installed this week... Mike sold me on the idea, and Sharif at Forged Performance sold me the diff... Thanks to both ! We are waiting on a few extra parts that are needed for the install, but I'm hoping it is in by tomorrow or THUR

7- various other bits going in like underdrive pulley and GTSpec bracing

I've got my track mate and chase cam all ready to drop in whenever I get the car back... tested it on my 15 month old's plastic car... pushed him around the neighborhood, with horrified neighbors wondering why we were going so fast and why he had electronics and a big *** battery strapped to his toddler-mobile !

Here's the updated project list

510z · 05-20-2009, 01:44 AM

Youll have to let me know next time you go to PIR. I want to see your car in action

travisjb · 05-20-2009, 01:49 AM

will do! PIR is usually with nasa, and they won't be back at pir till sep... have some runs at firebird and maybe alberquerque, vegas and cali this summer

RCZ · 05-20-2009, 12:47 PM

Cant wait to hear the results of the clutch install

Please do find out which front control arms fit.

Might have to put off my LSD install for a bit then if we need extra parts

.

imag · 05-21-2009, 12:40 AM

Wow. Nice set of parts. I'm anxious to hear what the clutch/flywheel upgrades do.

A real dif should be nice...

leepeen · 05-21-2009, 12:48 AM

I think i know who you are! Do you work at Jonker Nissan?

travisjb · 05-21-2009, 01:00 AM

wstar · 05-21-2009, 01:05 AM

Correct SPC front control arms that will fit the 370Z are the same used for the following model: 08 to 09 G37 sedan.
