Got the OEM trunk spoiler on. Definitely worth the buy!

pictures to come soon

 

Got some post install pics. Trunk spoiler and Journey front lip are finally on. Install was fairly quick and easy. The most time consuming thing was just aligning the holes in the trunk to be drilled.

 

Really a nice look from all angles, take a bow, you've done some good work sir!

 

Many thanks, sir! Can't wait for the diffuser to come. Should be here mid June right before my month long vacation

 

Big update coming tomorrow!

 

WORST! can't leave us hanging like that!

 

Taking the build to the next level. Also officially means I'm committing to the car. Swapping the car to a M3 is on hold for a bit.

 

In for more

 

Ahhhhh, FI FTW! Really moving this to the next level, what kind of deal did you get that Stillen SC for? (If you don't mind me asking)

 

The shop I did my uprev tune at had a used set for sale from a Nismo 370z. Customer put 1k miles on it and switched to a twin turbo. He was selling t for 4.5k but I talked it down to 4.1k. Happened to be my birthday that same day so I'll call it a birthday present for myself haha


It's missing a couple of things. Mostly brackets and fuel pump but those should be relatively cheap to get

 

UPDATE: Got some extra exterior stuff done. Plastidipped grille is gone and now done in gloss black vinyl wrap to match the rest of the gloss black trim I did. Autokits rear diffuser in carbon fiber just got to my door this morning and is getting put on as I type this





The supercharger will be getting installed at Real Auto Dynamics in New York while I'm on vacation for the summer. Since the original kit was from a 370z, I needed new brackets and a new fuel pump to make it work. Will be getting a stillen oil and tranny cooler as well as an upgraded valve body from Level 10 Transmission in New Jersey. At the moment, I'm debating if I should upgrade the blow off valve on the stillen kit.

 

stock torque converter? I'm doing valve body and trans cooler also. Just curious if you are buying upgraded converter or not.
Thanks! Sick build.

That's so exciting about the supercharger lol

 

running a conservative tune so hopefully the torque gains won't be crazy enough to get a torque converter upgrade. Will see once I come back in August and pick up the car.

 

how are the Bc's riding?

 

UPDATE: Flew out to Singapore for my vacation until August. Actually typing this during my stopover in Frankfurt.

Car has been dropped off at Real Auto Dynamics for the install while I'm gone. Missing brackets for the 370z kit to G37 conversion have arrived as well as the Stillen oil and transmission cooler.

In regards to add ons and other supporting mods, I'll be upgrading the heat exchanger to the Frozenboost upgrade. On top of that I will be having A/F, Oil temp, and oil pressure gauges installed. Gauge pod setup will be a custom made 3 pod A pillar from Ortiz which actually won't arrive until a couple of weeks after I return from the trip. In the meantime, universal single pods will be drilled into my stock A-pillar for a temporary solution.

I will also be most likely switching out the stock Bosch BOV that comes with the kit for either a Turbosmart or TiAL BOV, which I will leave to Real Auto Dynamics to decide.

8lb pulley will be kept to avoid potential reliability issues. Switching over from Uprev to Ecutek since tuning via speed density on Ecutek tends to lead to more reliable end results as opposed to tuning via MAF on the Uprev software. Valve body will be upgraded at Level 10 Transmissions in New Jersey while I'm away. Hopefully the torque increase is not too substantial to warrant a torque converter upgrade, but fingers are crossed.
