nissanman312 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Boring status update: the air intake temps are consistently reporting 4 degrees above ambient. Even after a jolly good thrashing. Whohoo! Plus, that diff in the wet — whohoooo! Lots of controllable fun! Dose it break lose I struggle to brake traction workout taking the micky wroth ecutek Quote
dajw Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 I can easily break loose in the wet. The difference is that both wheels spin up, rather than just the 'one wheel wonder' with the old diff! The tyres are a bit worn now too. Quote
dajw Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 It was about the time you're happy with it, mods now lock this thread! :lol: Haha funny man! I was happy with it before the accident at Westfield, though it took a while to get it sorted with the oil cooler and tune, which is now not running super rich as per your observation when it was at RTP. Then you (yes you Adrian) sold me your entire catalogue of parts hahah.... That gearbox is so much better than the stock config too. The harshness of the shifts was affecting how I could enjoy the car, but with the Level10 stuff the shifts are quick and smooth. Anyway, I have a fantastic end result.. ...save for the drop links which need a look at Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Time to get a RaceLogic Traction Controller! I'll tell you what, come and get it for this weekend, test it and report here. If you don't like it return it, if you do you can pay me before the end of this month Quote
Jonnymonno Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I have the Racelogic TC fitted Dom and am well impressed with it. It has a wet conditions setting which is just a turn of the dial but let's you pull away full throttle without spinning the wheels with just a subtle misfire to control traction I set the system at 15% slip in the dry which seems to allow maximum traction only cutting in when being over enthusiastic with the throttle on tight bends or roundabouts It certainly saved me from a big spin on the Nurburgring this year Well worth the money in my opinion and Adrian needs the extra money for his GTR mods 2 Quote
nissanman312 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Or get Ecutek tune with closed loop and adjustable tc Just saying 1 Quote
dajw Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 You are all very kind… but I must sell some bits before I go on with the shopping list. My butt-dyno and moderate right foot and lessons in car control are my traction management at the moment! A TC would take the fun away! There's a lot to be said for having a mental car that you need to be on your toes to drive. Quote
dajw Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 Here's a sample of what I've got. Need to think about prices and see what will sell before I list stuff. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Keep the OEM stuff for when you sell your car next year Quote
dajw Posted August 17, 2015 Author Posted August 17, 2015 Keep the OEM stuff for when you sell your car next year Hahahah nob off! Check the last three words in my signature 1 Quote
dajw Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 Just a thought — the Racelogic TCM would make the car safer to let the Mrs. drive in the wet, right? How much is it? Need tyres first. Found some MPSS all round for £650-ish. Quote

Found some MPSS all round for £650-ish. Have you tried tyreleader.co.uk --> think I paid £120 each for 18" though...may be worth checking out 1 Quote
dajw Posted August 24, 2015 Author Posted August 24, 2015 Have you tried tyreleader.co.uk --> think I paid £120 each for 18" though...may be worth checking out Awesome — £50 cheaper than Camskill, at £600 and a bit. Strangely I cannot find the non XL versions for the fronts but I don't think this really matters, adds a few quid. My car has the standard 19" wheels that came with the GT Edition, 245/40 R19 front and 275/35 R19 rear. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Go one size bigger, you have plenty of power now 265 & 285 Quote

dajw Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Boring status update: new MPSS tyres all round. A few hundred miles in and initial impressions are good. Slightly more comfort, definitely more dry grip, not had much wet weather yet. All of this is marginal. Standard sizes… there's enough rolling and unsprung mass already. They're definitely quieter than the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta that was there before. Edited October 1, 2015 by dajw Quote
nissanman312 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 You will love them once broken in a bit Dom did you ever get any further with the whole smaller wheel idea Quote
dajw Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Yes. They're definitely a good idea, but I've run out of enthusiasm for modifying my car further—too much faffing, so I'm driving it instead. 1 Quote
dajw Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Marginally less boring update: MPSS tyres are mental! So much grip! I gave them a bit of a workout over the last few days and I have to say I'm impressed. 1 Quote
dajw Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Supercharged 370z update: Just ticked over 18,000 miles since the supercharger was installed. Everything is working well. Serviced and maintained as specified. 1 Quote
