Just got her back from the dealer. They replaced the head unit due to the random black screen and replaced the mic due to poor Bluetooth quality. The warranty had almost paid for itself!

FINALLY getting around to posting my 1/2 mile times . I guess one of the printers broke so they had to hand write one lane. The variations for the trap speeds was due to me learning the car. The fastest time I had was little to no wheel spin and shifting at redline.

Do they give reaction times and trap speeds like the 1/4 mile?
All I've done is 1/4 mile drags so this is new to me.
Glad you got some solid data and seem to be happy w/ your progress

How are those Toyos working out now that you have more time w/ them?

And completely missed that you have the F1 RTPs until I read that other post on the coupe folder today., I've been wanting to get info from anyone that has them as they're not common around here, glad to see they're working out so well.

Unfortunately no, they only had trap speed which I thought was interesting. They had a tree set up, but I assume they had some technical difficulties. I know they had multiple issues with their electronic equipment ranging from mic issues to the left lane printer having issues. Before they let car run they were working on something around the tree and they did have the tire sensors in place but they were not used.

But yeah! I am happy with my results. They probably are not great, but I'm not looking to become a profession drag racer.

The tires are great! Much better in the rain and overall grip than those crappy nankangs that were on the car when I purchased her.

As for the test pipes, that is probably mtly fault. The guy I bought them from first told me they were a brand called Seabring. Later he told me it was fast intentions, and a quick Google confirmed it!

I love the test pipes. I had non resonated test pipes on my g35, DE motor, there was rasp. I really don't notice any on my g37 so I assume the resonator helps a lot! I also have stock sorry exhaust just FYI.

Finally got around to messing with the clutch pedal to adjust it. Installed my leds, and found out my battery is bad. Would happen just when I need to buy gifts. Oh well could always be worse!

So my 37 has no clutch pressure. Clutch fluid resivor is slowly creping towards the min line. Car has just under 48k on her and doesn't look like the slave cylender has ever been replaced. I assume mine has finally failed?

Bummer Austin, sure sounds like that's the case
G/L w/ the OEM or aftermarket repair.
Every once in a while it's good to have an AT.

Stuck in five lanes of congested highway traffic on the QEW... Sure.

Dead in the water with a busted clutch slave cylinder... Sure.

For all the other 99.999% of times... LOL, no. Not even close.

It was the DING DING DING Slave cylinder!

Dealer wants to replace MC, SC, as well as the hosing, and perform a fluid flush to remove the contaminates.

So do I pick Z1 or Zspeed? Looks like Zspeed is a heavy duty CSC while Z1 completely deletes the need for a slave cylinder.
