It sure does Gabe. I was going to hold off on upgrading the suspension but a system showed up in f/s for a great price and had to jump on it. My next upgrade will be the sway and strut bars.

I went with the Stri dsd-slm II in (boost, oil & water temp, oil pressure) and AEM a/f gauges.

Those are nice gauges that matches the interior amber pretty well. Where are you going to mount those 4 gauges at?

Not trying to be a bad influence but since I saw it I thought I'd let you know http://my350z.com/forum/norcal-marke...sway-bars.html

I should get my SC setup up and running soon as well so when all things are said and done, we should have a big get together.

Yes, the amber color is what I bought. I had a custom 3 gauge pod built for me that will replace the center clock bezel. R&J AutoBody did a great job on pod. The 2 other gauges will be installed inside the nav cubby area or the upper glove compartment with the edfc controller. I'm still debating.

I seen those sway bars on 350z good price too. I had to pass on them since I just dropped another $2600 for the suspension upgrade with labor charges. I'm going to wait on my next sidejob to purchase the bars. Wife will not allow me to take from our savings

Yes lets definitely get together, I'm game.

I stopped by ZCG today to go over some things with Rob. I was able to snap a few teaser pics for you all. Build is coming along and almost complete. Then on to the tune and delivery of car by next Wednesday.

Enjoy....

Gauges look awesome there and I like that black FMIC. Good job! Hold on just a litlte more, the finish line is really close...that is until you do the next set of upgrades.

Thanks Gabe. I'm going to try to hold off on upgrades for awhile. Although, Im already thinking of upgrading the air filter. I believe the stock is to small. Maybe after the holidays...

Still on schedule for pick up tomorrow? Nice gauge pod, R&J did that one right? I remember them talking about doing one for a customer up north, must have been you!
Love the stealth intercooler also. Was it anodized black or is it some kind of heat repelling material? I vividly remember the day I got the email telling me I could pick up my car the next day after waiting two weeks for my Vortech install and tune

Thanks, yes this gauge pod was done by R&J and a fine job they did! I still need to put up a review of their work/services. They get double thumbs up from me! Once I get my car back I will post a review. I would like to get different angles of the pod for others to see.

Not sure what Rob used to coat the FMIC. I will ask him next time.

I went to ZCG today to drop off a 350z carbon fiber engine cover. Rob showed me the other set up for the edfc controller, oil pressure, and A/F gauge in the upper compartment box and looks ****. But, I forgot to take a picture to post.

The car will be complete except for the tune by tomorrow. I should see my car mid-week of next pending no issue with the tune, crossing fingers. I will continue to keep you all posted!

ZCG had been amazing thus far! They have been keeping up with my everyday add-ons and changes throughout the build. Hence it’s taking longer than expected. I keep throwing ***** at them! Lol

Sorry all I haven't been updating this thread as I've been updating on 350Z. I got my car back today from ZCG and I must say they did a hell of a job! I'm extremely happy! Here is my dyno graph and link to 350z if you want to see more updates.

Thanks. The SI trim helped. Car is running like a raped ape!

Going in the 2nd week of Januray for the 1k break-in and make some minor tweaks. Might even upgrade to an CAI if the price is right. Otherwise Im going to try to fabricate one myself since since Im handy and have access to a bender that can bend up to 4".

Keep you all posted!
