Raj's 370Z BUILD

This was my best time when I was Bone Stock in the 1/8. The 9.0 was my first time to ever drag. The 8.5 was after a few runs.

Glad to know that you like the sound and power gain by swapping out just the cats. I recently picked up some Stillen HFCs, but plan on leaving the rest of the exhaust stock for now. I was a little apprehensive about how it would sound/perform, but it sounds like it worked out for you. Any problem with your CEL coming on after the install? I plan on installing the O2 extenders, so hopefully I won't have any issues. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind posting a video of a cold start so that I can hear what your exhaust sounds like?

I see you're just down the road from me. I'm in Memphis, but travel all over MS for work. What part of the state are you in?

Lastly, your car looks great and congratulations!

I am actually in Biloxi, MS area. The stock exhaust with HFC's i am very pleased with because it can be heard that the car is no longer stock. It is very aggressive at a cold start for it to have a stock exhaust. I will post a cold start video next week as soon as I can because I am not driving the car at the moment. I had a problem one time with the HFC's throwing a Service engine soon light, but after the local auto part store cleared the codes it went away. There was one code that the auto part store couldn't clear and it was a permanent catalytic converter code, but after i started the car it went away. Thank you for the compliment and I am no where near done lol.

I really appreciate the input. What did you notice over stock with the SPL rear camber kit? I ordered SPC for the front.

Greeting's Mr Rajmangal7,

Please note I will send you a private message of what my own experience
with the added SPL camber kit was.

You gentlemen do not need a technical write up from me taking up your
valuable build space. Also their are many other experienced members here
on the forum who are master mechanics and have written many articles
about the SPL camber kits.

Wishing you the best during your build... -Clifford

I finally got around and placed an order with Superbright for cool white LEDs. They made a huge difference over stock. They match my interior's frost leather color and they really bring the color out in the leather. The lights are much brighter than factory and this mod was well worth the money. It took me ten minutes to switch out all the bulbs involved. The only thing that I was personally disappointed in was that the doors are reflectors and not lights.

I just installed SPC upper control arms. I am not really noticing anything in ride quality, but it was a good mod to adjust camber.

Dragon_Ball_Z · 12-06-2014, 03:02 AM

I got my SPL rear camber arms installed about a week ago. They didn't make a ride quality difference or handling for daily driving to me. This mod was well needed because now my back camber can be adjusted! This was a pretty easy install. I did this install alone in about 2-3 hours. I had a mishap so the driver rear camber arm was bent. After install, alignment time!!!
