Haha!

Well got my new rear discs in finally.

322mm 350Z rear brembo. DBA 4000 slotteds. The originals were 298mm, replaced with vsII, N1 rear calipers and 322mm rotors.

They fit fine, only .5mm offset difference from original vsII, N1 rear discs, all other dimensions the same.

Also made up some carbon rear diffuser fin extensions as the stockers were a little dog eared (and small).

All up cost under $170 for structural carbon fibre sheet, rivets, rivet gun etc.

Ran down WSID, and got a best of 11.678 @ 122.56MPH 60' 1.846.

Next best: 11.744 @ 124.26MPH 60'1.843.

Out of the 4 runs I bogged it twice, and the 2 good runs I got excessive wheelspin!

More practice at launching needed :D

Car weighed in at 1622KG 1/3 tank of fuel.

After the last run though something happened as idle now sits at 600RPM. Still drive smooth, just the idle is way too low.

Must of either got a leak under the plenum for idle air control, or AAC is kaput!

Update: Well looks like the idle screw managed to wind itself in and maybe a faulty AAC valve, I wound the idle screw out and go a steady idle and put some sealant on the screw so it doesn't move around.

Yeah, needs a final tune still :) Would be nice haha!!

Looking at the vids the engine/gbox shook a fair bit on takeoff so I'm thinking something came loose to cause the idle issue.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
