Thanks a lot bro for the pics

BTW one question... when you remove the line of the stock power steering cooler, all the fluid come off or you have to make flush to change them all?

DatsunFTW · 12-09-2015, 06:02 AM

Let it all flow out from the lines

Thanks bro! I will do it

Of course. Just make sure to fill the cooler before installing and when you top off turn the wheels (while the car Is up) until you feel pressure and go for a drive. You'll hear whining. Just top off the reservoir more

Awesome!

thanks a lot for the free lessons bro hahhaa!

BTW how do you fill the cooler before the installing? maybe is a stupid question but i want to make 100% sure of what i am going to do hahhaa!

The cooler comes with caps on the core. Just take them off and pour directly into the cooler. It distributes to the other side so just fill and let settle.

Great bro! thanks for the info

I leave you some reps

So thanks to JWillis I have made the road course pretty much a part of my life. No more autox just time attack and open track days twice a month since october of 2015.

So with that being said I ordered Battle Aero's Chassis Mount Swan Neck Wing. 1700mm frp deck with aluminum stands. Fully adjustable and pivots back for trunk use.

It won't be here in time for this weekend track fun but It should be shipping over next week

Sold my duckbill so don't ask for it!

I also cut off my exhaust from the resonator section back. The shop who did my exhaust did a pretty wonky bend job and it's costing my throttle response... I also shaped the tips to look kind of cool underneath there lol. Don't worry it's just temporary.

I kind of do too!

DatsunFTW · 01-23-2016, 05:23 PM

Had a seriously good session today. With all of the recent upgrades the Z ran perfectly. Clutch didn't overheat, power steering was working flawlessly, and the control arms helped a ton as well. Only issue was fuel starvation as always... I had a 5 gallon jug with me to just top off the tank but otherwise I was very happy.

Can't wait for my wing and next month!

awesome bro! good to hear that everything works great

DatsunFTW · 01-27-2016, 06:16 PM

Didn't like what was available So I decided to make my own. Need to balance the front vs. Rear when the wing comes in. Still need to build a detatchable splitter too. I'll post pictures when I get a prototype visual
