Awesome please let me know!

Bump?

Hey,

Just after a Sunset Orange standard bumper, had enough of the Nismo V2 really, not one thats cracked etc, stone chips are ok if not too bad.

Cheers,

3.9 would be perfect. If your car is the UK GT the you have the factory VLSD. It's ok but I bet you given the age/mileage it's not as effective any more. If you I doing the FD then stretch and get an aftermarket LSD like Kaaz, Quaife, cusco, nismo etc. I think Clarkmotorsport did a GB on the kaaz not too long ago. I have an lsd and it's just immense. I didn't change the FD because I was going FI but in retrospect I could have done a 3.7 and be ok for traction.

Yeah ive got a UK GT so should have the LSD already ten years old and 66k miles now so no idea how good it is now, gonna have to do some more saving up i think!

Definitely gonna stay NA, i may be lucky enough to have the LSD version, been meaning to ring Nissan and check for a while..

I think it would be a choice between 3.9 and 4.08, i'd rather keep first gear useable if possible!

I was thinking shortening so going from 3.5 to 3.9 or 4.08. That's shorter right?

Not sure how substantial the gains are but seems a popular mod in the US from what I've read. And also the current gear ratio has like 20mph wasted above the limiter so might as well try and claw back some of that and turn it into acceleration not worried too much about fuel economy, i'll buy a smart car when i start to worry about petrol...

And i don't fancy stripping out my nice comfy but heavy leather seats to shed wait haha.

I reckon it must be cheaper than spending £'s on engine mods to get the same sort of acceleration gains though. (I looked into it a little last year but not much)

Awesome cheers for the swift responses

Simple question,

If i change the final drive on the z (for a shorter ratio), will it require a remap or would it possibly mess with the traction control? If it thinks it's accelerating faster than it should be?

Dan

Edit: Also does a lightened flywheel require a remap or mess with traction control?

Ah ok i'm guessing its the same sort of tool that Whacky-will posted above, got one on order now

Were these new Spacers?

Mine broke all 4 lock nuts. We used a good torque bar. I think it was due to the nut being 'Pulled' through. and maybe the Lock nuts werent strong enough to pull through.???

How did you remove the nuts after they all broke? Also did you replace them with new locking nuts or just go back to standard ones?

Yeah they turned out pretty nice froma distance, up close you can see all the imperfections will see how long the paint lasts though haha

cheers guys

Second hand spacers, new to me though

I do think the studs on the spacers are longer than the studs on the hubs, so i guess that would make sense that once they cooled down the stud could have pushed the end out?

Is that what you mean by pulled through?
