This is making me nervous, one of my Z's has an oil cooler on it, installed before i got the car (forgered performance did the install) it looks like stainless steel braided lines. Has anyone had problems with lines like this ??? Just woundering because when i changed the oil there was some oil on the hose connectors, and i was thinking about putting an oil cooler on my other Z. The one with the cooler never gets over 180 and the stock one runs around 200 on the same day.

lol why do you have two Zs again?

so far I have about 600 in body parts that I bought through Z1, a body shop estimate of 1080 for the rest of the repairs and however much the stillen front bumper is going to cost. Overall, I think I am getting off fairly cheaply.

yea that's not too bad considering it's a brand new car. imagine if it was a GTR... lol

Yes, 2 cars with braided lines have had them blow (different manufacturers), one with the aeroquip socketless.

3 with the socketless actually.

Me, YellowZ and Cab83_750

Yowza's, didn't know about the other 2, advantage Aeroquip!

Anyone managed to talk to anyone at Eaton?

check out modshack's diy thread, thats where the action on this has been. The GM of Racer parts even chimed in.

bought one new in jan. 09 got the other for a good price it was already hooked up and i'm in the process of swaping most of the parts from one too the other and selling the 2nd one i've got....should be for sale in about a week or so (and it's good fun)

Ah thanks, missed all the action. Subscribed to the other thread.

Visited the body shop today. They pretty much have all the body work done on it now, just awaiting the Stillen fascia before painting, and I also decided to delete the rear spoiler and add an APR GTC300 wing.

There were about 6 holes that needed to be filled after stock spoiler removal:

This is the wing I am getting. I highly recommend Scott @ Fontana as his price and service are outstanding! He even brought a 370 to APR so they could take measurements to get me the appropriate mounting spacing.

I'm out of town flying, but the bodyshop sent me some pics today! Stillen bumper not yet mounted though, should have that on and car delivered on monday evening.

Its an APR GTC300 wing in carbon fiber. It came in with a chip in the top of it, so I had re-cleared, but in matte clear instead of gloss.

The wing definitely needs the angle of attack adjusted, it should be zero, not angled so much, but that is a simple adjustment once I get it home.

looks strikingly like a certain black 350 i know of...

nice... agree, your body shop doesn't seem to understand aero! at that angle, it will be a good wind-sock, lol
