My '07 Z is still in the shop ( new forged motor ) otherwise I could measure it for you but the vette has a big butt and I doubt it would fit even with some cutting. The 370 Z's butt is more rounded on the bottom where as the vette's is more square.

Just a quick observation.

See attached. #3 in the diagram.

Yes, that would be bad a$$ if that was available for our cars.

I'm with you :iagree: Someone needs to come up with this aftermarket for the 370. All we have right now is EVO's carbon fiber piece. Stillen or someone needs to do this for us :tup:

McGuiver fix for melted C-shaft pos snsr
 

Until someone fabs a stainless steel or Tungsten C/S pos snsr: Muffler repair kit includes "asbestos" wrap and high-temp adhesive. I used it to protect my Ninja's rubber radiator hose from the evil Bassani race pipe! Available at Checker/AutoZone for $6.

thanks, McGyver!

UPS: Tracking Information

It's about time!

Yup... credit to Lou Fusz's team for tracking this down for me! And at the end of it all, there were some folks in Nissan USA working hard as well, so I have no hard feelings there at all... It is a rather obscure part for a very new model - they weren't planning to replace one of these... Now fingers crossed that the right part shows up!


UPDATE: visited the car tonight... we took off over 55 pounds of exhaust from the behind the y-pipe!!! will replace that with 5 lbs of muffler and maybe 5 lbs of alum 3" pipe on one side, for a savings of 40+ lbs !

I will be selling the Stillen HFCs (replaced with strt pipes), and Stillen cat-back... I think 50% of current Stillen pricing is fair considering I haven't put more than a couple hundred miles on them... first come, first serve!

Take a look at the new corvette gt2 car for ALMS... notice the placement of the trans cooler at the rear? Looks like they have a large fan to draw air through as well... not sure where they pull the air from - any ideas? I'm thinking about doing something like this for my Z... carve out the indented area where the rear license plate currently lives and add a screen on the outside... on the inside, create a housing for two cores, one for trannie, one for diff... then feed air through the side scoops via hoses inside the rear hatch... Just an idea at this stage, going to have to do some more research and mock it up

how this might look on a z

Ground shipping? Not priority overnight? haha, you've waited this long, what's a few more days I guess.

That rear fan setup sounds like a winner. Can't wait to see more!

Initial shopping list for diff/trans cooling setup... I'd love to get everyone's feedback on this :tup:


1. Two (2) of these pumps - they are on sale!

Tilton Engineering 40-524 - Tilton Transmission and/or Differential Oil Cooler Pumps - Overview - SummitRacing.com Brand Tilton Engineering 40-524 Tilton Transmission and/or Differential Oil Cooler Flow Rate @ 12 Volts (gpm) 1-2 GPM Working Pressure (psi) 60 Temperature Range (degrees F) 0 to 265 3/8 inch NPT inlet and outlet size. These Tilton transmission/differential oil cooler pumps are positive displacement-type pumps that produce output directly proportional to motor speed. They're lightweight, self-priming pumps that may be mounted in any position up to several feet away from the tank.

2. Two (2) of these fan packs

3. Some air ducting to connect side scoops to custom cooler box

4. Two (2) air ducts to diffuse the air into the cooler box
http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/Images/M/3624-PLUS.JPG
Air Inlet, Small Bumper Mount (1 Outlet) Computer Aided Design (CAD) and wind tunnel testing have been combined to produce these ducts. Attention to detail results in maximum air flow with minimal drag. They are molded from tough, high-impact black plastic. An integrally molded flange (approximately .75" wide on most ducts) makes them easy to install in body panels or air dams. The outlet nipple is sized to fit our 3" air ducting hose. Approximately 9.5" x 5" including flange.

5. A Sheet of Stainless Mesh to replace the rear valence cut out... 10 openings per inch or 6 ???
http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/Images/M/3641.JPG
Pegasus - Medium Mesh Stainless, #6 x .035 Wire (6 openings per inch) Medium Mesh Stainless, #6 x .035 Wire (6 openings per inch) Our Stainless Wire Mesh can be fabricated into almost any shape using standard sheet metal techniques. The #6 mesh size is contructed of 0.035" diameter wire with 0.132" openings, making it great for protecting oil coolers and radiators from medium objects and debris down to 0.132" diameter. To protect against larger, heavier objects as well, combine a layer of this mesh with a layer of our Coarse Mesh #4 (part #3642-Size).

Would also need a bunch of fittings and lines

Thoughts ?

So here is a shot of the crank pos. sensor. From the looks of it the factory knew this was going to be a hot spot, thats why there is all ready a cheesee heat sheild on it. Makes it easier to modify a bracket, here is what I did.

here is what the stock heat sheild looks like.

This is what it looks like in the car.

this is what i added to help block the heat

http://i46.tinypic.com/213r75t.jpg
Its made out of stainless should do the trick.

mounted up!

Nice job!

If you're running 2 pumps and 2 fan packs wont air boxes and all the extra ducting be a bit of an overkill for the diff?

I was thinking that one would be plenty for me, but then I'm not beating on it quite as hard as you.
