Me too. I really want to install myself bt would have no problem paying my shop to do it for a peace of mind.

I need the clutch because of the boost. Not many shops (including Nissan dealers) have experience working on a 370z.

Joe at Zspeed told me that the clutch install is straight forward, I don't know why shops have problems bleeding them.

I would have installed it myself if I had a lift...

Anyhow, this takes me back to the reason why I need/have to do all of my own work.

I would bet it has something to do with taking time to bleed it properly, but the shops just want to sling the cars in and out.

You're right.

Customer service and people who have pride in their work is extremely difficult to find these days.

Blasphemy! :icon17:

Super jealous of your build buddy. Nice as$ :tup:

Hi Galeforce, have you installed your boost and AFR gauges yet? If so, any pics of the install? I was thinking of using an a-pillar pod for AFR and EGT and the stock clock location for boost.

I am in the process of moulding my A-pillar right now. I expected to have it shaped last week but one of my other projects took priority. Hopefully I can get back to it next week.

Here is a couple of pictures for the mockup,

Thanks for the photos! (that was quick)
You weren't kidding when mentioning doing a lot of the work and fab'ing yourself.
I was hoping we can just use an Autometer dual pod that would fit nicely, but that might be too easy ;)
Can't wait to see it finished.

Yes, a pre-made pod(s) will be much easier. I tried a mockup similar to using a gauge pod and wasn't happy with the results. Going a full custom build I am able to maximize my vision of the gauge and minimize the obstruction of view out.

:iagree: I used a prefabbed double pillar pod in my Z32 and did not like the location of the one pod in the end.

Looking good and loving all the pics! +1 repped for all your hard work :tup:

Thanks bud :tiphat:

I just need to find a single factory silver gauge ring... Anyone selling one?

The bad news is, I blew out my back. The good news is, I got out to the garage. Repaired the carbon fibre on the rear bumper, worked on the A-pillar some more, touched up a spot I wasn't happy with on the front bumper, and started a new carbon fibre project... pics to follow.

Don't injure yourself before you get the kit installed! I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on the clutch too after some miles are put on it. Let's see those pics!

Small update.

Rear bumper repaired.

I just need to clean up the edges, drill holes for the plugs and then its ready for the finish coat of resin.

:tup: looking really good buddy! I love that you went with the real CF not the cheap over lay, I wanted to do the same engine bay piece and a couple other smaller ones.
