Matt, isn't it necessary to have the Z1 Motor Mounts installed if I want to add headers without clearence issues on a G37X?

Can you confirm?

 

So it’s not mandatory but highly recommended. With my Stillen headers they didn’t fit and would hit steering column on hard right hand turns. Soon as I put these on problem solved. Highly recommended Sir. They fit G37x no issue

 

Thanks.

BTW saw your car on admin's YouTube channel months ago. Best of luck this season. I assume the single exit will give you more top end. Post pics when you can.

 

Thanks! It did get a lot of views hahaha.

Check my instagram to see pictures and to hear it
@Mattlorentzoe

also there are a few pictures posted above of exhaust

 

Any updates? I feel that I'm going to modify an ISR single exhaust to fit my AWD G.

Also, it's disappointing your video was taken down from The Administrator's YouTube channel.

 

I would just buy the soho. You’ll spend the same amount trying to get that isr single exit to fit. However the isr longtubes and y pipe fit awd. I don’t recommend isr anything personally.

Lol about the video getting taken down 🤷🏼*♂️😂 . We will make some more content really soon.

 

PPE HEADERS (Parallel collector) GETTING INSTALLED THIS FRIDAY!
Cant wait! Bought from a local part out.

Stillen headers and test pipes have been sold. Thanks


No install date yet but for the following but coming soon! Hopefully month or less?!
-Rabbit hole motorsports 3 inch intake &vstack (matches the car)
-Rabbit hole motorsports 75mm Tb conversion
-Rabbit hole motorsports lower manifold (high temp paint)

 

That's what's up because those headers are expensive af lol.

 

PPE HEADERS with parallel merge collector

 

New intake goodies!!! No more admin intakes!
More pictures coming soon!
3 inch intakes with vstack

 

Those intakes are super nice and match the car. Much better than solid white.

How long do you plan to keep the car with all the time and mods invested? Thoughts on the VR30 Q50/60s? Is one of those in your future?

I have a 03 G35 and 13 G37X both stock just lowered. I owe $6k on the G37X and it has 48k on it in addition to a few scratches on it from my wife DD'ing it (gotta love her). Therefore, I'm inclined to trade it away early next year and get around $10k or more I hope. I love my G37X, but the old rwd G35 has a certain charm to it (pearl white like yours) and I think I might get rid of the high rev awd G.

As of now I'd probably trade my G37X for a new Civic Si, 3.0T, or used 370Z (sub 60,000 mile Zs with no accidents can be had for $10-15k at the right time of the year). I've even considered an accident free 350Z for $10k or less, but it be slow and outdated. C6 Vettes are cool, but there are just so many options half of which are new. 2019 Charger GTs (awd) don't have recalls as of now and they make 400+ whp with a Ripp Supercharger. If I could go back I'd probably get a rwd G37 instead because it seems like if your chasing 1/4 times in a G that be the one to get. Just drop 4.08 gears and go FBO.

But, you have a unique build and being FBO I'd probably be enticed to keep it. It's fun following this build and I'm realizing that going FBO myself like you might be a waste of my time and money. I'm realizing I don't need a FBO G37X too I can just continue to follow and appreciate yours. I have to really think about what I want or if I want this car still because like I said, it's been fun following yours.

I once had a 04 STi Cobb ots stage 2 (turboback was only mod) and imo my stock G37X still has more top end and would pull away the faster I go due to NA and better aerodynamics.

So, would you trade your baby for a 3.0t Q50/60? It will be faster mod for mod, also weigh 38xx stock, but never be high revving and belts are snapping on those motors week after week. If not a turbo Q then what? Will you keep this car as long as possible or not?

 

Probably going to keep it for a while. I will continue to push the car as I have the funds. I will end up boosting it nice refined properly in all other areas. I have been told by a lot of people not to boost it so it stays reliable and what not but idk if I’ll listen lol

 

ill be waiting for the results this is a rabbit hole ive been wanting to go in. I hope you the best!

 

Nice! So the intakes just shipped yesterday! I Can’t wait! There will be lots of pictures lol. Already have the rabbithole vstacks on my admin intakes and they added so much air I needed to retune it. But sold the admin intake and vstacks since the new intakes have vstack welded on.
Like my car would die out uptop end cause it added that much air. Lol so I know they work, excited to finally have intakes the color I ordered. (I ordered them white from moncef and they came black lol no stress but excited to have color matched ones.)

Still waiting on my 75mm conversion and port match lower manifold. But I’m assured it’s in progress! I’ll be doing a side by side comparison. Z1 upper/ eps Tb vs the rabbithole conversion setup.

On same dyno, same day, just seeing which can make the most on the dyno with a tune. Only swapping Tb and plenum. That’s it

 

We look forward to it. I found out the other day a YouTuber pushing the VR30 to it's limits got rod knock on his awd car (400+whp/500tq). I guess we have an idea of the limits of the VR30 now.
