It has had cruise for a while. The light is new.

Does your car have cruise?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Yep.



On a serious note, why didnt you just pull out the bulbs for the TCS/Slip lights?

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

Soldered in leds.

204 & 229 are the cruise leds, I tried having them installed in my cluster, no go.

The only replaceable are directional & high beam. They were bulbs I got leds for them

Nissan, Y u no make bulb swap easy??

Installed the AFR and 80% of the oil temp & pressure gauges. They came with the wrong harnesses .

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

Ok ladies, here is a video. It was taken to send to my tuner so he can look at the AFRs, you can hear the exhaust for the first 10 seconds or so.

I don't want to hear about the bad quality, bad music, bad whatever.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

That quality sucks!! It looks photoshopped!!

The second time you got on it it went a rich, but I wish I was at 12.4:1 at WOT

Oil pressure and temp gauges are wired. Sensors were supposed to go in but mechanic had an emergency so they will Monday.





TCS OFF switch lights up. I will be using the switch for my Forged fans to manually turn them on when I want to.

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

Oil temp & pressure are in. Temp did not get above 140. Damn pressure gauge stays pinned at 100. Ordered a 140 psi gauge.

e30cabrio

Picked up the COZ Akebono brackets yesterday. I have eBay brackets but am replacing the rotors and figured it couldn't hurt to get quality brackets. (not that I had any issues with the eBay ones)



Also got the oil pressure gauge finished.



Oil temp sensor:


Pressure sensor:





The stock gauge is 10lbs high at idle and up to 30 at high revs. I am not running over 120lbs, at wot it is near 100.

Rotors are here, they are mostly the right ones, I did not want drilled but I am teh happiez!

richardparker

iTrader: (7)

Did those come with their own special tool for removing the rotors from the hubs ?
Those are some weird looking screws.
Sweet rotors.

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

They need the hats to attach to the car. When I need to replace the disks I'll get the tool.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Id send them back for non-drilled rotors. Drilled = bad.

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

I got them for 523 shipped which you'd know if you checked your freaking email.

If I have a problem I can get new disks for 125 each shipped.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I check, but dont always have time to respond.

Drilled rotors like to play connect the dots. Why drop $250 extra when that happens when its not the part you ordered?

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

I agree drilled is not my preference. The fact is the description said drilled. I hoped it was not drilled which was what the part number referred to.

If I get 5k+ out of them I'll be happy.

They look cool! :P

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

This is at cold start up this morning.




The stock gauge is very high.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Ah, I got it now. I thought you ordered the non-drilled rotors. Makes sense now.

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

Disks came down to 122.

Think I'll order them.

And a couple more rotor shots.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Im not impressed until I see a weight comparison.

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

23 vs 30 lbs.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Not bad. I didnt know the stock rotors were 30lbs

Is that each or for the pair?

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

Stock Z rotors are 13" and are not 30 lbs. Stock G37S 14"s are 30 each.

These are 23 each.

GTALK??????????????????????

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Forgot that you have the 14 inchers.

GTALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

Yup.

GTALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got out to the garage at 6am and did the driver side, got lazy. Maybe do passenger later?



Replaced eBay bracket with COZ. Nothing wrong with the old one.





COZ next to eBay. These are opposite since I took off the driver side and installed it. I'll try to remember to get a picture of the passenger side.

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

Passenger side.



Old vs new 14" rotors.


eBay vs COZ brackets. I think I did not need to replace them.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

They look nearly identical to me

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

Really? How's it feel to sound like my Wife?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Smug

iTrader: (38)

lol. those rotors look bad ass. and why did you switch out to infiniti brakes? if you mentioned it earlier, i must not have read it.

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

They are 4/2 pot calipers and 14" front/13 rear rotor OEM parts used in 09+ Zs and G37S.

I got the Infiniti calipers cheap on eBay.

Took the car to a differential specialist. He thinks the pinion retention nut is loose. Yet another mess up by my mechanic from heck.

6-900.00 to do and 2 days after all the parts get here possibly a week from Thursday.

He strongly suggested I not drive the car so I'll get to see what an open 3.5 feels like tomorrow when it goes in.

This is my fault because I thought whew, the car is done and all is well THE NIGHT BEFORE THIS STARTED

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

thats sucks :/

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

It does.

Diff swapped out. It's weird how different the car feels Having only the rear solid bearing reduces vibration, torque feels down, obviously being pushed by only one wheel feels totally different. The whine is gone.

Ring and pinion look ok, hope they are.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Hope it goes back together smoothly

e30cabrio

iTrader: (6)

Me too.

My main concern was the ring and pinion. They look ok to my untrained eye and my mechanic said no chunks/looking like there is minimal wear is good but he is not expert in differentials.

I have to wait for the parts to come in tomorrow. Damn pinion bearings/sleeve/nut were in Tennessee.

282.02 (with a discount) in differential rebuild parts.
