It requires SO much more than just turbos and an intercooler. ... the mods list needs to be a mile long and include a built engine and drivetrain mods if u plan to run any real amount of boost without grenading parts.

Buying a "dealer installed" turbo kit just sounds like recipie to me for a difficult le$$on... I guess that can be said tho buying any NA car modded to Turbo no matter who u buy from.

At least private buyer you won't get raped on the price for a turbo car if u know what yur looking for...
Very clean engine bay. I like!

Installed the G37 Axle/Hub into my 350z. It fits! Thanks RJ manufacturing for telling me about it. Why did I do it you may ask? Hub is twice as large as shown and my wheel bearing was shot.

I am planning on doing the same, they posted this up on their fb page. Also selling kits for $400 to swap bearing, hub and axles. Splines are larger at the hub and axle shafts are larger. Seeing the much wider bearing surface should help alot with major offset wheels and track abuse. I tip my hat off to RJM .

Exactly what it says. I took the stock G37 axle and wheel hub assembly and put it on the Z with no additional modification. It slides in perfectly and you don't have to push on a new wheel bearing if yours are getting worn out. Just replace it all.
@Nismo They are chargespeed side splitters. Bolt onto the OEM Z sideskirts.

I noticed an immediate difference when I did my tranny and differential fluid with redline. Solid mod.

I never noticed a particular noise before or after the fluid swap. And now I have a JWT clutch and flywheel setup. So all I hear is chatter at idle. I read some things about that but never experienced it.

But it's also my first Z and I changed the fluid before I had 100 miles of driving. So maybe I didn't have the opportunity to hear the noise difference.
I did notice an increase in the crispness of the shifting though. It was pretty significant.

Fixed the irritating rattle in my shift ****, luckily my shift **** twisted right off.


This weekends goal - figure out why my left brake light is not working. I changed the bulb and that didn't fix it.

When taking off your wrap, did it damage your clear coat?
