I know I was missing that piece, but I needed to tweak the battery a little for the + cable to reach. Is that your car? If so, how did you get your + cable to reach that far? Mine is really struggling to reach the terminal.

 

Doh! The offsets... I don't know anyone here in KS who can roll the fenders the "right" way. I need to hang on to this car for at least another year :-)

Thanks bud!

 

Yes its mine, Sharif did it when I built so Im not exactly sure. I actually just replaced it with another one as I think mine was defective. I couldnt imagine it being harder than maybe cutting that protective plastic some to free some slack and pull a little.

 

I will try cutting the plastic, but I was pulling the cable as hard as I could and it wouldn't budge.

 

In the pics it looks like its being held by the strut tower on the pass side under your IC pipe. Try loosening or removing that support to pull it into the battery area more. Good luck.

 

Are you planning on having any interior at all or are you gonna bring it stripped to the show?

 

Its a track car, no interior..

 

Yup... ^^^What he said.

 

ohhh.. she's gonnna look great!

One thing that you need to consider with the GT wing is your CF hatch... You will need to re-enforce the area of the hatch that the GT wing will be placed. The easiest way is to use additional fiberglass. I'd hate to see the resin get cracked on that CF hatch the first time you are out on the track at speed... or even worse.. have the wing come off!

Oh.. and welcome to the SBC

 

The positive black wire casing is held on the side wall with a little plastic plug. Just undo the clip from the front of the wall and it will reach just fine.

 

Thanks Brock!

 

Yup, already thought of that. Actually, I am going to try and get something fabricated so that the wing mounts to the floor of the spare tire well and have it easily removable with some sort of pins. We will see how it turns out.

 

Wow.. that'll be interesting to see Post pics of your progress!

 

Please put a vid up when your done with everything. I would love to see how everything turned out. Then you have to have a second vid for the track, have a buddy or someone tape it from outside and have a camera inside. The Z looks great man.

 

Thanks man! I will most likely do only a track vid because the car isn't really street legal, its not registered, and it has Hoosier race tires on it. Not the best situation for making a video on the streets . I should be going up to Infineon Raceway (Sears Point) the weekend after SEMA.

EDIT: Just got a call from my painter. Bumpers are ready to be picked up!!!!

 

UPS came today!!!

Corbeau SFI Certified, HANS friendly, 3" 5-Point harnesses in red. - www.Corbeau.com

Eastwood Fender Roller - www.EastwoodCo.com

Home Right Heat Pro Deluxe Heat Gun - www.EastwoodCo.com


Hopefully I will get to rolling the fenders tomorrow, but the first thing on the agenda is getting the brake calipers off and ready to go to the powder coater. Harnesses won't go in untill I clean out and re-spray the interior.

The painter had a little mishap with the front bumper while buffing it yesterday, so they won't be ready until tomorrow

 

Flat black FTW!!!!

 

You sprayed them yourself?!?!.....very intrested to see what it will look like on the car.

 

Yeah, part of the reason I picked flat black as an accent color for the car is because its SUPER easy to do yourself. There is no shine to it so there are no reflections that show imperfection, and there is no clear coat to worry about.

 

Let me know if you need any help, I dont have much planned for the weekend. .. And, I live down the street lol
