The "4 door Z" build (4DRZ)- 13 G37S 6spd sedan
#601
It's not a big deal as I had one of my techs reset it in the shop. He thought his electronic tool (consult II) was the only thing that would reset it. I'd be curious to know if there is another way for us to do it on our own.
The delrin **** I had previously weighed next to nothing. If you take off your titanium shift **** and shift with just the threads, that's how it felt for shifting- not nearly as smooth.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T DO THIS:
So after almost a year of trying to get my 400hp tune sorted with Z1 Motorsports, I finally have what I think is a reliable tune and just got refunded for the UpRev Data Cable they got back from me about two weeks ago. So glad that dumpster fire seems to finally be over. Phew! Here is to hoping the tune remains reliable (knocks on wood).

I think my next project is going to be a different grille for my car. I am going to start trying to make it look a bit more aggressive, but mainly I just want better cooling.
I might try to make something like the mesh grille below, but I am not sure if I will try to cut out the inside of the stock grille to keep the chrome to tie in the fog light surrounds and headlights or if I will try to wrap it in carbon to match an idea I have to wrap the bottom of the bumper in carbon to make it look like a chin spoiler. Thoughts?
The one issue I will run into is water ingestion into the intakes. I have Z1 intakes that are right behind the grille. I think I might be able to make the Stillen guard (pictured below) work if I drill some holes in the end caps of my Z1 filters for the hardware. Tying the filters together would also add some stability since they just sort of hang there now. Has anyone tried something similar with the Z1 filters? Or does anyone have the Stillen filters and guard and can share some pictures showing how everything mounts up?
Worst case scenario, I could probably get Stillen filters and find a way to mount them up to the Z1 intake tubes I have (below).

So I think I have a grille that I can get that will require a little work. Just trying to decide if I would paint it white to match my car or try wrapping it in carbon to try to match an idea I have for some carbon wrap on the bottom of my bumper.
The other issue is protecting the air filters from water since the mesh will allow in a lot more air and probably water. Has anyone tried to use a Stillen rain guard with Z1 filters? I might be able to make this work.
My other option is getting some of these Outerwears filter covers that are supposed to resist water. I just hope they are long enough as they are designed for K&N filters and I think the Z1 filters are a bit longer. Anyone try these or know anything about them?

I have a grille coming and now I am just trying to figure out how best to protect the air filters from rain without reducing power. I called Stillen and they were very strange about just selling me the rain guard and hardware- they really did not want to sell the parts if it was not going on Stillen filters. Once I get this figured out, then it is just a matter of what Infiniti badge to get for the grille.

I just got back my lowered Bride seat rails for my Sparco seat. They maxed out the lowering at 1 1/8" in the front and 1 1/4" in the rear. (They look a lot lower)
I should be able to test fit the rails in the next day or two so hopefully everything fits ok.

I got to test fit the newly lowered rails yesterday and thankfully the holes line up ok and I am able to get all the bolts threaded all the way in. Phew! I was a little worried with all the weird angles. I should be able to get the seat mounted back in very soon.

Hey guys been crazy busy, I have a sedan I’m going to get a fixed bucket seat I so that’s why I was taking about buddy clubs, yea uprev has a launch control and militia map option if you still have your stock steering wheel with cruise control..

The other issue you will probably run into is how to mount them to your car. Most fixed back seat rails are completely flat on the bottom to mount into a stripped race car with flat floors. If you take out your factory seat you will see that the mounting points are anything but flat. That would take a ton of custom fabrication to make fit unless you have seen fixed back seat mounts that fit G37 sedans. So far the only option I have seen that bolts right up to our floors is Bride.
Let me know how it goes with your search. Your car looks nice.

Sorry, I meant to post up these pics yesterday and then I got busy. Yes, I got the seat in about a week ago and it fits great. I can sit normally with a helmet on = AWESOME!! My body shop guy who did the work said he lowered it only 1 1/8" in the front and 1 1/4" in back, but it feels and looks a lot lower. I will have to see how it works on track this spring. If my head moves around a bit I may actually have to remove the handle on the ceiling. I think that is the only part I would come in contact with.
But, two days ago the airbag light came on again. Hopefully, it is just a bad relay or something with the wiring. I plan to take it apart tonight or tomorrow to see if I can fix it. Then when I am back at work on Thu. I will have my tech. reset the computer. (I think this is the only way to reset that light).
