Thought so. It had to be an iron block of some sort. What is the weight difference?

~ 80 lbs but with other mods in the back it evens it out. Even though internet legend is it adds to much weight......It has never effected its performance autoxing, road racing or at the drag strip one bit
It has been alive since 2003 and has nozzzzzzzzzzz too |

I am just up in the air about it still. The Z is getting boost as soon as I get back so I am sure its life span is going to be greatly dimminished knowing the way I drive. So I am looking and planning now which route to take.

Oil cooler finished up. DS header next
Cooler attaches to the foglight/vararam bolt & to the frame. Only thing that doesn't have a cooler now is the rear......... |
