this is why i call this forum the devil... everytime i think im done... something else comes out and i have to buy it

simota1 · 11-16-2013, 02:16 AM

mad props for WPPJR30 for the idea of notching the bottom of the e brake... it fit like a glove afterwards... no more machining needed... now i just gotta wait for the alacantra boots to arrive

well... i finally plasti dipped my oil cap to flow better with my whole engine bay including my dip stick.... thanks to wiggins for giving me the idea.... the idea of me actually painting the oil cap was the original plan... but im tryna get the black TS cap with a rainbow insignia....

even more rare.....

so the idea is ill one day peel the plasti dip off the gold one i have and sell it off

thats IF i ever find one....

simota1 · 11-16-2013, 02:17 AM

and one more thing... the plasti dip is black with silver metalizer same color as my rims....

Kingbaby · 11-16-2013, 12:37 PM

the yellow is an eye sore...I painted mines red

simota1 · 11-19-2013, 02:38 AM

well my temp exhaust arrived..... the beluga racing axle back made my bumper rubbing even worse

..... idk if its from buying all this jdm parts but i must say i now know i have a high expectations for parts that go on my z..... the first thing i noticed is the welding.... the welding is like my welding.... meaning its nice but it aint phenomenal..... second... the fitment..
my god if my life depended on the fitment i would have died over and over and over. The tips stuck out 3 inches or more... they look like my gibson exhaust on my f150

even then i was like hell i can cut and weld the tips to make em shorter.... here was the deal breaker... the mounting points dont line up... and once you bolt everything nice and tight... the mufflers push my bumper upward now instead of forward like my oem muffler

i tried for an hour until accepting my defeat.... i didnt even put back my oem muffler because of how upset i was. bottom line you get what you pay for... something i learned a long time ago but was hoping this one time i was wrong.... im gonna return them.... as i dont even think they are meant for a 370z rather a G37...... which i realized after my friend with a g37 with authentic tanabes said they look exactly like his exhaust... so it rang a bell in my head....

Well that sucks, sorry you had to be ginnie pig on this one.

LMBmikeZ · 11-19-2013, 08:48 AM

sucks you had to be the one to try it out, but at least they were not super expensive and you also said you can return them

wheee! · 11-19-2013, 09:36 AM

wow, sorry to hear of the issues Jon! I'm sure everything will be fine once you get the REAL exhaust!

simota1 · 11-19-2013, 12:55 PM

looks like those guys are gonna give me a hard time returning them.....

wheee! · 11-19-2013, 01:15 PM

This one does work even after pully install and UpRev Tune. My initial thought was I would not need it after the tune, BUT it still increase throttle response after it.

sweet man ill check it out
