hahahaha that is the plan sir... Show these fools what a proper 350z should look like..

I do get sad when I watch or see in person how these Zs look like at the track.. I am sorry most 90% of them look like ****.. But don't worry I am here to save the day..

Classy, hey you had the C8's in your car right? Did the car occassionally stall through idle? Doesn't stall if I heel-toe downshift, and let off the clutch at idle so it's a more gentle transition into neutral, but sometimes if I just put the clutch in at high RPM or something, it will struggle to catch idle or stall, most times it's fine.

So thought I post this here, since a lot of people were asking me were did I get the dual caliper brackets from..

Well like I stated before George Marstanovic design these brackets to work with whatever kit you want. single piston, brembos, akebono, project mu, etc. Anything that bolts up to the factory brake location will bolt up to these.

He just lunched his new site and is take orders now on them so if you want them click on the link and purchase a set..

Did a lil mock up of the front bumper.. So I can get the hood sitting right. Sorry for the lack of update just been waiting on my wiring guy to heal from his hand injury.. And good to say he is healed now so we will soon meet up to finish and fire this sucker up..









Need to take some pics of my Accusump setup, battery mount, and me wrapping my oil lines..

But I will update you guys soon on when the big start up is, and I will take some snaps when my tires get here..

So I never posted my Accusump setup on the car.. Mounted it in the middle. Its a 3 Quart High Pressure Accusump, running -10AN fittings and lines..

Lets start with the bulkhead on the fire wall in the bay.. this way if I need to uninstall I can just remove from the interior.

Here is the other side mounted behind the dash



I ran the lines pretty much like this



I also hooked up the 6 foot Accusump Manual Valve Cable kit..

Cut up the mount though to work how I wanted it to..

Ran the line to the driver side for easy on and off switch.. And why Manual Valve cause it is the safest way, the accumulator works 'automatically' when the valve is OPEN, storing 80 +psi of oil pressure for when the motor starts to drop off.

Also mounted one of my kill switches in the car..

This one locks so if I do decide to 'Street Shark' in this thing it will be some what safe if I have to go in side some where,

So I get a lot of people asking what color I'm I going with.. I will be doing a Satin White Pearl wrap. Just like this A7. Should be ordering it soon.


Well hope that keeps you guys happy for a couple of weeks.. lol

Haha I know I know.. Just waiting on time schedules to link up with my wiring guy.. I think I said he hurt his hand that but him out of commission for a while and then once it healed he had some vacation he was taking so just waiting on our schedules..

But everything is ready on my end to say the least.. Also worked on the fly announcement for the engine start-up livestream.. So will post that once we have a concert date and time..
