I could powdercoat your strut brace to match the calipers if you want.

Hmmm...while it would look cool, I am pretty sure my hood will be closed the whole time. BC is using my car to promote their new line of wheels though so I may sending you the calipers for a re-coat if they get burnt up on track before then. Since the wheels will get the attention, the calipers need to look good!

Odyssey Batteries has hopped on board as a SEMA sponsor this year! For those that recall, I had their PC680 lightweight battery in my Z the last time I built it and had zero issues with it so I went for the same thing again. The battery weighs 21 lbs. less than the stock battery which is awesome, especially considering the location of the stock battery, which is an excellent place to lose weight from. I also got their universal hold-down kit this time as I sold my last one with the old battery when I went back to stock. Their new hold-down kit is incredible looking and very well engineered. For now, I will mount it in the stock location for the sake of simplicity and ease. Eventually, when I am farther along with this build, I will re-locate the battery to an ideal place for weight distribution, likely in the trunk area or behind the passenger seat, but we'll have to wait until I get to that point to put it on the scales and see where it would be the most beneficial. My favorite part about this battery is that it doesn't add any modification points in N.A.S.A. Time Trials!

A battery tender is the way to go. Get the one with the wiring and you don't even have to open the hood, or in Travis's case - trunk

mine connects through the passenger "window" ... I have it hanging off a ceiling plug in my garage and I attached the quick release directly to the batter terminals so it's a cinch to take on / off
just realized spohn's question wasn't answered... there is a small voltage draw from the ecu that will drain the battery if it sits without a tender for long enough... guessing for a new battery it is maybe 3-4 weeks... but I think that really depends on how much life is left in the battery - after 12 mos in the car, the duration between starts will need to be shorter... or as stated above, get a tender Last edited by travisjb; 08-04-2011 at 08:49 PM. |

What Travis said. I never had to jump my car last time I had one in there. I had it in the car for about a year and a half and drove the car probably on average 2-3 times/week since I worked from home at the time.

Took some time today to black out the door handles and front/rear emblems on the 370Z today! Used that Plasti-Dip stuff everyone's talking about and it was awesome. Feels a little weird on the door handles but looks good with the wheels I think. Will look even better when I eventually do the FX Carbon Fiber Film on the roof, front fangs, and mirror caps!
