you changing the rotors too.?

Nah, apparently I don't need to. Unless you mean upgrading to cut ones, which I think I'll just use the stockies. Funds are on a budget whilst Rosie is getting paid off :P

Upgrade rotors to DBA slotted items when your stockies are dead. Only real advantage will be heat dissipation with the slotted rotors, so unless you're driving like a fkn lunatic on the streets or tracking the car you won't really get anything out of them other than them looking cool :P

Rosie is going to the track in September so slotted might be nice :3 if it's like $100 extra or whatnot I don't see an issue D: However, budget is a keyword for me :( So stockies it seems haha

As Anthony said, you'll barely notice a difference until you've got a few track days under your belt and you're pushing limits :P

^^ This. Driver skill will make the biggest increase to start with. N/A cars can still get decent times with the right driver behind them. When you go out the first time worry about getting line and length right, and then slowly decrease your brake distance into each corner keeping line and Length right. you will see your times massively improve. Don't worry about speed, timing is where it's at and speed will follow suit.

I'm sure I will get the nickname Putty on the day as I'll probably be putting around the track learning this and that. I've done some V8 track days (go in the V8 "supercar" around the track). So I know a tiny bit about track. Still a novice though :P I'll smack out some Forza 4 the night before and get tuned in :P

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
