My 370z "unicorn"

Hey Rusty, about this fuel pump top hat.....I'm looking at what I'm going to do through winter months and probably this is one of the things. Does this also resolve the fuel starvation issue? While I'm in there, I'm looking at resolving that issue as well. Any recommendations?

The billet top hat solves a different issue. CJMotorsports used to sell a Road Race Fuel Pump kit. Seems like that item is no longer on his website. If I recall correctly, Charles had stated that it’s not enough sales volume to make another batch of RRP, but that was some time ago (when someone complained about the lack of available inventory). You may confirm that with Charles the owner. Also see thread below.

New season, new stuff!

This winter was pretty uneventful, as my car is....almost perfect the way it is! There was just one tiny bit where I wanted a tune. Namely, the LSD.
I have the OS Giken LSD, factory setting. There was one scenario however, that bothered me when it occured. At steep uphills like a mountain road, if there was a very sharp hairpin and I was fully on the gas, the inner wheel if lifted, would have a quick wheelspin before the LSD completely locked up. And this was just a bit slow for my taste. I wanted it to lock up quicker. So I contacted the reputable shop in Netherlands where I got the LSD, and they kindly suggested I change the preload and the sungears. So I did just that!



No specific progress pics, sorry, hands were dirty. I swapped out 4 negative spring pairs, lowering the preload from 336kg to 296kg. This should allow the pins to jam between the LSD core easier, thereby quicker engaging clutch plates. I also swapped the spur sungears for the helical ones, as apparently that should also help with the effect.
While I was working on the diff, I pulled out the breather tube that I had punctured and pressed in a new one.

At the registration, I also homologated my KW V3 coilovers. I went for a drive and it's all working well, but I haven't yet tested that specific uphill scenario to test the diff settings. In usual or slightly spirited driving on normal roads it seems the same behaviour as previously, which is good.
