LOL The GT Spec rear brace is just good for looks. The ladder brace is a good Y-pipe protector. The suspension benefits for all of the stuff is...well...

The kit comes with all of the wiring etc. so it is switchable. If you turn on the switch before the differential fluid is hot enough, the oil pump is really loud.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did. The 350z was one of their best sellers, so I am sure they plan to do one eventually for the 370 platform.

It is my rear interfooler.

As 2k6 posted, it is an ARC differential cooler. It's really not necessary and will only come in handy during track days. Even then it probably is a bit overkill unless you are doing 10+ lap sessions. However, i'm a sucker for ARC stuff and had to have it.

I will very soon! Money is kind of tight right now to fit that in to my budget as well. I may go in August though if the car makes it back in time from Japan. Hell, maybe i'll even run it over there if I can pull some strings
