i had a stillen one on my car, it was GREAT and made a HUGE difference to handling

the 350Z ones are NOT the same. they actually come with one from the factory and it does NOT fit our car

Warren,

I still have your Stillen one sitting in my garage...took me close to two hours and a lot of cursing two weeks ago and stripped a nut on the strut tower (the one on the passenger side hardest to get to). Will have to find time to remove tht stripped nut to install it. :(

jon, what did you do?

it took me 15 mins to install, and even less to uninstall!

3 bolts either side. drivers side was unobstructed, passenger side i removed one bolt to get a hose out of the way..

Sorry to disappoint...installed it today on the 300GT, so the wife can have increased handling when bringing the groceries home :P

Removing the 3 bolts each side was easy this time round, but getting the damn thing on the passenger side was a bit of a pain. Warren, I had to change the settings a bit from yours as I believe the coupe and sedan may be slightly different. No way they were gonna fit with your settings.

hey Fox'

If you are interested you can get one from USA like the NRG brand. They are made to fit with the stock Engine cover and the cheapest one. I got one quoted US$225 shipped from USA.

So maybe a group buy? lol.

I'm in Melb.

The other brand i know is ARC. I read the people in US really swears that the NRG are good. but i don't know.

I just don't justify to spend a Sturt bar for nearly AU$500 unless we as Whiteline to make one for us.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
