Get That Money unfortunately (GTM)...would have gone SFR if I'd known what a coksukker, liar, thief, Sam Zawahara at GTM and now Gamma motors is. Agree with Cux 110%!

I can return it and purchase the exeddy multidisk clutch onsale at CZP. i was curious if anyone can guide me really quick!! is it worth the additional 700 bucks?

I have not driven the exedy, but from my experience with the ATS and those that have driven the exedy, the ATS is the better clutch. My tuner had driven both and stated the ATS was better..... and they recommended me the exedy before driving the ATS.

ATS or Exedy, I think either will be better than a 6 puck and worth the extra money. I drive a 6 puck in my evo, though an ACT, and it is no where near as nice as the the ATS twin I have in my Z., but it was 1/3 the price. had I had the money for the Exedy (in the evo, it is the clutch to get) I would have put that in, unfortunately I didn't have money

Thanks for the input. I did end up purchasing the exedy clutch. I guess I will find out if it's worth it! I would have purchased ATS but I had credit and discounted price for Black Friday with conceptZ so I'll give a full review when it gets in!

Default Exhaust questions

So, right now I have 3inch single exhaust on the car after taking my 2.5 true dual off. The question I have, is the Greddy 3 inch true dual RS exhaust worth it? It is on sale now. It's a great deal!!!

the greddy is more like a 2.75" exhaust. also, I believe it tapers where it connects to the cats/downpipes. if you got rid of that section and opened it up, I would say it might be worth it. what 2.5" do you have?

I have HKS knockoff. I do not have cats as it sits, just straight pipes.

edit:
76mm = 3"


I actually just called Z1 about this exhaust. it does taper

this is a pic from the Greddy EvoTT exhaust and shows what I am refering to:



and a pic from the greddy Ti-C dual exhaust that the RS supersedes:








with that, it isn't worth going with this exhaust unless that section is removed

Default Got my clutch in. No other updates though :(

I got my exedy clutch in man it's a great looking clutch if nothing else. But just hoping it can handle better. Thanks for the advice guys. Will let you all know how well it works.



Hopefully it works as good as it looks

Default Update

So I'm off for Christmas for a couple days so the update one the car. Motors in no clearance issues on the turbo blankets at all, atleast that I can tell. Still have a lot of parts to put back on but should only be about 1-2 days to do so. I took some pictures or tried to of the blankets clearance. I'm sad 😢 because it's not ready but I'm hoping that it's done by Tuesday next week!! The final stretch!!



So this blanket sits on the transmission a tiny bit but I'm not worried about it. (Right side)





This one was almost impossible to get a picture of but I tried to show light coming through on the side wall no issues (left side)





New clutch installed





Parts to go on.





Parts left to go on





Motors in but still a couple days out

I agree why do you cringe?!?!? I would have loved to go with the CJM plenum but the custom mods and price of 3600 seemed a little over my budget for an intake manifold. But seriously why do you cringe?

kinetix doesn't do any testing on their crap and their quality is subpar from what I have seen in person. People only buy because "ooooh it's shiny".

complete waste of money

edit:

cjm is kind of one off, but at least you would get something for your money.
