No, MTI found in wind tunnel testing that those basically do nothing. The Katech vents are on top of the fender, wouldn't really work with our fender design though, but I'm sure something up top on the sides would work.

These vents/louvers:

A great electrician/ECM technician is worth $1000 a pop! Thx for your input, chrisslicks!

I don't know what is different between these 2 modes so you will have to test it. For those trying to turn on the voltage signal to the fog light it looks like you can wire INPUT 4 to OUTPUT 5. There are no specs on the diode shown but it doesn't look like it is doing anything special other than regulating current flow in the right direction. A IN4001 (available anywhere) should do the trick.

Mmmm...wind tunnel testing!

I ran against Chris Rado tonight... nowhere near his speed, but i had a blast... went off once, but car is okay beyond some exhaust hangar repairs that will be needed... will up some video to my vid journal in a few, assuming it turned out okay

travisjb 04-11-2010 03:44 AM
interesting... perhaps robi can shed some light on this design and provide more pics?

Hey Travis, you wouldn't happen to have a complete torque spec sheet or know where I can get one for the 370 would ya? You can PM me if you like.

:tiphat:

Hey there, no I don't. But if you find one or put one together, would be helpful to start a post here on that topic. Might have to piece it together from service manual (http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...html#post72340).

So, are you by chance rebuilding the motor?

travisjb 04-12-2010 12:14 AM

Not yet. I have the Rotrex SC but I'm rethinking that vs. going NA. Right now I'm just learning how to become a better driver. I think a Motec is in the cards for my next mod.

Thanks for the link by the way

travisjb 04-12-2010 10:46 AM
would appreciate your thoughts on how you see the benefits of aftermarket engine mgmt... I'm looking to squeeze more out of the motor NA as well, and frankly not sure which direction to go with that

LiquidZ 04-12-2010 12:14 PM
Travis, your car has certainly come a long way! I really like it.

I know you are running Forgestar F-14's in 18", but what tires and sizes are you running?

Keep up the good work!

LateralG'z 04-12-2010 04:14 PM
The car looks great and looks really flat through the corner. Looks like the suspension is working correctly
