1J and 2 J's are a proven engine. VQ's are only in the early stage's being a new engine. Sorry that was my toyota side. Split personallity there guys.It will be interesting to see how the VQ30 powered 300zx will go at this years time attack in sydney. should be a great event again. Ok back to topic. I guess ive only put my stagea into the gearbox place to get the slipping box fixed. Bring on the warrenty repairs.

Should be ready to pick up tomorrow or Sunday (might have to beg Brad to give me a lift to pick it up :worship: ) and sounds like it'll be worth the wait. Straight through 3" no restriction :banana:

Yeah no worries its not far from home we can call in after the cruise. Id be keen to look at the exhaust. Im in need of one in the future.

Just purchased a new front diff!!!! 3.538 ratio ftw!!!! Just gotta find a rear now....should make it punch out of the hole even better :P

3.54 appears to be the standard ratio for your cars. Have you bought a different one or is your car not currently 3.54 final drive?

OK looks like n/a had 3.54 and turbos 3.13

Let me know if you have trouble finding a rear diff as the majority of NM35s in this country are n/a and I'm sure I could find you one if you want.

thanks for the offer on that.....but I will be chasing 3.538's with LSD and I am pretty sure that the only Stagea that came with a 3.538 LSD was the PM35 AR-X!....If you find one of those that's wrecking it would be great......the 350Z MT and V35 MT both have the diff I need so hopefully I should be able to trip over one soon.

I am hoping this will ratio change will give the gearbox a little less of a hard time.....and also give me some more mumbo all around.

I got my car back! :banana:

Exhaust and dump have transformed it. More low end pull, spools up faster, absolutely hammers. Looks the goods too with twin 3" titanium outlets.

Only issue at the moment is its too bloody loud! But we will fix that shortly.

Hooked up the informeter, pleasantly surprised it just works.

Will get some exhaust pics when I get home from work (and we have some daylight). Then in goes the Nismo dash, and a proper mounting spot for the Informeter.

No idea... I definitely won't be complaining about it being too quiet! It can be heard from Japan!

you shouldve gone a Jazma cat back system from Jap and had your exhasut shop make up a dump/front pipe.

mine is 80mm straight through from the turbo to tip. and its still really quiet.(FWIW) .. lol you can actually see from one end of my exhaust to the other lol.

I'll video it tonight..

even cam's noticed it and Cam's picky with this stuff, but he even said.. for a straight through its fairly quiet.

sounds nice on full throttle as well.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
