Paul, any chance you'll be coming to SOW for the Redline Appreciation day? I didn't get a chance to meet you at ACS. Robi and I will be there. The price is right

Extra tire is always nice but were, limited to 285' and the Hankooks RS-3's we run come in 265/285 combo which turned out to work perfect. Only other option would to run 285' square but I tend to prefer staggered set-up to help turn-in.

Do you have any software with the ECU, can you log it or make adjustments yourself?

No additional software. You just let us know what mods you have or will have and Mine's will map for it. No wide/band or anything like that to make on the fly changes. This is just a clean plug and play hp.

Right around the corner.

I won't be, pretty bummed. I was just out their 2 weeks ago at streets for another TimeAttack Event with lots of local Redliner's running one of my other cars, But I'd love to see what sort of time the Z can get at Streets . I think it would feel pretty good out their. Keep me posted on how you guys do!

Paul@AEperformance · 12-14-2009, 09:12 PM

Finally another Z update!

Santa arrived a bit early for the AE Z.

Recaro Profi SPA's:

No more flying around the cockpit and nice weight savings!

We cary full line of Recaro,Sparco and Bride products.

Awesome addition to any Z!!

Check it!

LiquidZ · 12-14-2009, 09:37 PM

Recaro's are flat out awesome.

motoextreme · 12-14-2009, 09:49 PM

Last damn thing I need is seats but you definitely have my attention! All those Carbon seats in the GTR's during Fontana really caught my eye. Starting to hate this forum, its like a fat kid in a candy store HAHAHAHAHA...

On a serious note, what do you expect they will sell for including rails? Direct bolt on or new holes and welds? Last, only carbon/kevlar or available in straight carbon?

Wow these are nice, wonder if my big butt will fit in, suppose I could start running or wear a girdle

travisjb · 12-14-2009, 10:22 PM

seats look great... from the pics, looks like you have passenger side on middle height and drivers side on higher mounting point... for the driver, what would you guess is the maximum driver height / torso length with a helmet in current position ? this car doesn't have much headroom to begin with, so just wondering if you think a 6ft driver with helmet would fit ??? and then, if i was right about being at the highest height setting currently, guess that means you can pick up 2-3" by dropping it down... thoughts?

motoextreme · 12-14-2009, 10:37 PM

Good point. Funny you mentioned that, I was sitting in my car this weekend thinking about if I could even fit in with my helmet or not. I'd love to gain a little more room if possible.

LoL, very good!

Recaro Profi SPA's have been out for a few years now, and their the lightest of their kind at only 7.8lbs!
These are the same seats Power House Amuse runs as well as many other JDM tuning shops and GT cars.

But their ultra rare awesome-ness does come at a cost.

Your looking about $5500.00 for the pair w/ rails

But we do carry full line up of Bride, Recaro, and Sparco seats that I would be happy to match the perfect set-up for your application and budget.

Good Eye!

Both seats are actually set on the same height but since I'm not the tallest stud out their, I had to scoot the driver seat up a bit (works better than phone books

) and the passenger seat is all the way back. The rails are at a mild angle so with the driver seat forward it raises it a bit.

Head room wise, theirs a ton b/c the buckets are so deep.

I personally like to sit as low as possible to keep the weight low but if you notice in the side shot, if I lower the seat into the lowest hole the side bracket hits the side ring (hole) on the seat. So i need to mod it a bit to drop it lower, but right now it's pretty low, I'd say a good inch lower than stock.

Thanks again for the comments and stay tuned for more on project Z!!

Sick seats - just great looking

motoextreme · 12-15-2009, 11:31 PM

They are pricey but I suppose that makes sense. I was guessing 2-3 grand but 5500..that's up there.

I'm going for Turbo or an SC next (once the bodyshop is done). Then brakes and coil overs. (may go brakes before anything). These would be last but at this pace it could be pretty soon.

I'll drop you a note when I'm ready man, thanks for thinking of us.

Minicobra1 · 12-16-2009, 06:25 AM

Wow, this car is coming along great, in for future updates

PM me a price on your oil cooler installed, I'm in Brea also.

If your going Forced Induction, I can't stress enough that you will need our oil cooler kit. Any other one wont be enough!

Seat wise, their are several other options that are much more practical and less expensive for a Daily driver or weekend ride.
