+1 build quality is very good. Does what it says on the tin. No complaints.

I’m running their all-aluminum version, I’m guessing that what you mean by the “performance” one. They have some stock as of 8/30 if you buy from them directly.

It does move the OEM fans significantly towards the timing cover, and I had to fab up a little shield that bolts to the AC compressor bracket to keep the lower radiator hose from fouling the AC pulley. But truly not a whisper of a problem until the factory fans started to go.

Do you know if there is more space with the CSF or the slim Koyo (non-side flow)?

Matte Mediterranean Blue, I think that was the name. Haven't really touched my Z since moving to my new home 2 years ago.

When I installed mine... I had trouble because I only used hand tools. Then I used a power tool while apply downward force to thread in the bolt. Felt like a noob, it was a tight fit that bar.

I ended up grinding the holes slightly to allow for a more relaxed fit.

How does one not drive their car for nearly a year? I'd understand storage from winter...

Just some new bits, new engine with 40k miles, CD009 trans. Old trans was grinding and old engine had rod knock. Now she’s perfect. The old engine I will try to salvage, old trans was sold.

I'm jealous of your transmission jack. I need to find one soon (not for a repair on my Z), but the pickings are slim on CL and Marketplace.

Installed EVO-R carbon bits and eBay brand blue-wide mirrors, which I really does work. It greatly reduces bright LED headlights behind me at night. I have less complaint going out at night. Now if only we can do something about the opposite traffic bright LEDs....



Installed Z1 Motorsports Camber Arms and Traction Arms. I also installed Bellwork Diff Brace which makes a huge difference. I'd like to get some Nismo Diff Fin cover and SPL midlink has been on my mind.
