GTM SC build supporting mod requirements

Chuck33079

That looks so slick. I'd love the CAMP setup, but the cost for the system, all of the sensors and a navtool so I can actually see it while I'm driving keeps me away. I'd always keep boost and AFR on the A pillar so it's always in the line of sight while driving.

Required:
-Oil cooler
-Certain gauges, see other replies
-Tune

Optional or nice:
-Clutch/flywheel/CSC - if the factory stuff is still going then go with it for awhile. Now if the transmission is being pulled while doing the work then I would bump this up to almost required because you can save on labor.
-Vents - Hood, fender liner, etc
-Zspeed undertray - This helps with vents and more protection to the underside
-Brakes - This is a nice upgrade with the extra power AND the extra weight you are adding to the car.
-Suspension - Can help with controlling the power depending on your goals. Look into what you plan to do with the extra power and build around that

Yeah I got lucky, spent a bit much on the system but skipped on the AFR kit (that was an additional $600 just for some parts). One reason I want to get my triple gauges out and a AFR gauge in their.
I got the boost in the top left which works with quick glances, also the Camp2 can change colors based on presets. So if I hit 7.5PSI it turns and my eye can catch it.

This should be the first thing any Z owner buys. The sport brakes and suspension don't really need any additional upgrades for a fi car that you weren't going to do anyway. Agreed on doing the clutch/flywheel/csc if the tranny comes out. When they dropped the motor to put in my TT kit, it cost me an additional 2 hours of labor to install a clutch. Money well spent. If you're in a warmer climate, a CSF radiator is a good use of funds. If you do that, you might as well swap out the hoses for silicone ones. this stuff snowballs quickly.

Yeah, the camp2 is amazing but the add on costs are just crazy. The price of doing the AFR I could do a quality triple pod gauge replacement almost.

I priced out the cost of a full CAMP setup and just started laughing. Defi Racers for me, please.

Are defi racers the ones that are plug and play or require the extra box to run through?

The under tray is a fantastic recommendation. Totally forgot about that.

If he has the Nismo brakes is there really a need to upgrade? Or are we just talking new pads? Also wouldn't he be better off switching to better tires that provide better grip under stopping?

Not trying to question your recommendation just trying to brain storm

I should clarify really, when I say brakes I mean pads/lines/fluids, not a full new BBK.
I had the stock parts at 19k when I added boost and they were ok but after upgrading to new pads/lines/rotors/fluid it was a solid upgrade. Not required but something to look at.

brake lines/fluid already upgraded. I'ma ride out the sport brakes (for now). Silicone hoses already done. The undertray is a good idea but I'm out of free money at this point so it may have to wait. I don't think it's a super difficult install is it?

Okay cool. We did his lines and fluids about a month ago as well as clutch line.

Im boosting right now at 15k so that is good info brother. Guess that will be my next add on for myself.

Just PM me when you're ready and I'll pay for the oil pan.

It takes longer to get the car up in the air than it takes to install the under tray. the only issue I've had with it is the little door to change the oil filter doesn't quite line up with the oil filter once you put on the sandwich adapter for the oil cooler. You have to drop the whole tray. It's not a big deal, just adds another five or ten minutes.
