From the get go, the mission was to upgrade to parts with greater quality and control than OEM. With plenty of power on tap in stock form, I focused on chassis setup. The wheels were first addressed - Rays were first choice & a set of limited edition TE37 in Titanium Gunmetal were fitted.

For the exhaust I wanted something different. Titanium is where its at. Lightweight and exotic in tone. ARC single pipe Titan fitted.

As with all ARC parts, they are hand made, top quality components from Japan. There aren't a lot around this side of the Pacific. ARC is without a doubt some of the most beautiful parts around. This particular ARC exhaust is fitted on a small number of cars in North America. Other ARC bits were soon fitted. Starting with the Ti. strut tower bar, catch can and complete air intake system. ARC over sized oil pan completed the goodies.

Enter ENDLESS. While calling around for Zeal suspension, I was offered a set of Endless 6 pot / 4 pot racing Big Brake System. The deal was too good to pass up. At just over 2000 miles on the clock, Z was getting full Endless Brakes and Zeal V6 Coilovers.

ARC and Endless became the two companies that would be plastered anywhere Z would allow. Tuned with aftermarket headers from Strup and an ECU tune from AAM, there was an immediate gain in response power delivery. After the ECU tuning to the new parts; approx. 25whp & 30 lb./ft. of torque was gained. With an increase of 20whp up top. The midrange was phenomenal. Only matched in performance by the Central 20 ring and pinion swap to 3.917.

Update-

Endless CC-RG pads have been holding up in all regards. I will def. run another set when the time comes. With the ARC Oil Pan & Setrab Oil Cooler installed. Oil temps on the track are wonderful. Amsoil full synthetic has been used for the last 17,000 miles with good results.

Carbonetic twin with lightweight flywheel is being fitted soon. We are very happy to have partnered up with Carbonetic / Across USA.
