As for CAI's I have the Nismo's still NIB and I had the Injens but sold them to a local dude. I should have kept them. Ahhh well. So I'll install them mainly for looks I guess I think they look like Sex! See if I can squeeze a couple more ponys out of my car to....

Wanna part with the Nismo CAI's then? I'm lookin for a set. PM me a price shipped to 98595 if so.
Shoot me some offers. I can sell it. A couple people expressed interest in them.

If you're planning on actually driving your nismo on a racetrack, those 4.08 gears are going to suck.
How do you figure? Whats your experience with gears on a road coarse or track?
With the Diff and Gears the car should pull harder out of the corners. Keeping the car in the power band and making serious use of my Mods! Sure I will loose some MPH in 5th and 6th gear but not like I am racing Nascar doing 200+ mph lol
Will lower 1/4 mile times! Not that I drag my car but I may try it once or twice next year to post up some times.

Whats my experience? other than having 4.08 gears in my previous Z. The reason its not good having these gears for a racetrack other than the 1/4 mile is having to shift a hell of alot more, it's a PITA, but It's your car, do with it what you will.
IntenseSales didn't have Red or Orange HR Samco hoses in stock so went with Blue. I should have pics of everything installed on the 28th. Vids to follow that

....and we all know there is only 1 "racetrack" in the US
This is such a broad based statement it really makes no sense - perhaps with your track, and your previous setup (suspension, skill level, tires, etc), they were not ideal. But there are no absolutes when it comes to "tracks".
If you're planning on actually driving your nismo on a racetrack, those 4.08 gears are going to suck.
depends... the Z with the HR engine has for a fact only 3 usable gears on a track with stock gearing... with the 4.08 he'll have at least 4, with a better chance of being in the powerband in every corner.
1st gear is useless... both stock and "shorter"...
6th gear is a fuel economy gear and 5th come into play at 140+ mph as stock...

I have a Cusco LSD and currently a 3.9 final drive, with more hp than most, and a significantly increased rev limiter - I don't find first gear to be a waste at all (my car is full weight too). The car just hooks from a launch
I think 1st gear on a track will be a waste. 2nd, 3rd and 4th are your useable gears. I hope to do some track days at the Glen next year
I may even take it to the strip a couple times just to give others an idea what a build like mine will run in the 1/4
I'm running out of performance mods See what comes out in the near future.
For those with full engine builds and TT setups what is the max whp and wtq the stock driveshaft and axles can take?! I haven't searched yet but I haven't seen anyone upgrading their drivelines.

I'd like to get an ARC combination tank but damn expesnsive Amazing how rediculous pricing is on their products.
Combination tank $700+
Radiator pressure valve $400+
Cooling Panel $250-300+
I won't even mention their oil cooler price. lol
Crazy! R&D, Materials and Labor + markup don't even justify those prices. IMHO

than it means it's time to drive the damn car
than you'll use the $$$ to fix whatever it fails.
btw. about the gear is exactly what I mean.
in the straight line you probably don't gain anything because it pulls harder but you lose time shifting but around a road course could be a different story.
