i think it's a great idea.... pre-drilled for external cooling is helpful... otherwise people have to take a chance drilling the oe unit

I'll buy a diff cover with some extra cooling capacity tomorrow for 450 from anyone that can send it to me because it is holding up my LSD install.

^ well said. The Z gets no attention even from the US market where money can be made. Then the companies that do take a lifetime to produce. By that time the next model is out.

None have shipped out yet. They should be headed out this week. I began assembly of them Thursday or Friday and ran down the entire parts list and ordered up everything small that I didnt have enough of, and it all came in the other day. Yours, along with the other 3 paid units are in their respective shipping boxes about 70% assembled. I was actually going to start finishing them up this evening!
I can probably get yours out tomorrow if you wish. I will post up if I have any issue finishing your kit this evening. edit: sorry I did not mean to ignore your post early when I was on here. My previous reply in this thread was posted from my phone. I was sent an email with a comment about the spacer, and I replied to it from my phone without realizing there had been more posts above it that i didnt read. |

The biggest problem which isn't huge is We need more people buying to get cost down while supporting a real enthusiast as Phunk that gets things done. All these tards buying these crappy body kits and interior CF junk with what money they do have instead of real true potential performance parts. In which this is what the car was intended for.

The CF pieces are the best. Nothing says rice like "The whole point of this stuff is to save weight on an expensive car, but I'm actually *adding* weight to my car by layering it over something else."

Let's not forget the cheap Taiwanese coilovers so you can slam it on the ground, yo. And fitting 225s onto 10+" wheels.

An oil pan has been on the list for a long time. I sort of stopped thinking about it on a personal level since what i am doing with the oil pump will almost definitely use a custom lower oil pan anyway. While I have personally not been a big supporter of the aftermarket pans... Its not up to me to decide what everyone else wants, and I have to have wide open arms to that.
Having been designing fuel systems for too many years now, i have learned a lot about fluid control systems and I could probably build a pretty rad oil pan. Oil pan would be much easier/cheaper than the diff cover because it doesnt need to be totally solid billet since there is no load on it. That diff cover, since it has the rear diff mount on it, needs to be BEEF. Now.. you guys have asked another vendor besides from GTM to build an oil pan also... so I need to choose wisely where to put my efforts. Its easier to play nice and all construct different products for a car that lacks so many. But then for some products, there is plenty of customers to go around and its not a big deal. So it all boils down to interest. I have a 370z here, and I have the ability to manufacture just about anything for it either in-house, or through close contacts. I am total wide open to building anything that is asked of me.
