try of pulling gearshift-kind of disrupts my focus in braking zone and turn-in
i am going to try some Royal Purple Max ATF real soon and see how that
does, if not trans cooler is next step

also, there's a guy on driver working on paddles for the G which should be out soon. Combined with a VB, it should prove very useful

I have a 2006 with 5AT. Stillen s/c stage 3, Stillen strut brace, a/sway bars, adj fr camber arms, rear camber adj & toe links, Eibach Pro-Kit springs, rear wheel spacers, CAI, Stillen's dual path exhaust, had Stillen's instal their Autobox upgrade, got some DBA s&d fr rotors (BIG improvement over stock for little money), using Hawk Ferro Carbon pads (good but noisy) and braided s/s lines, the Stillen series II fascia and their sexy splitter, oh, and a cf hood .
some misc crap: engine damper, grounding kit, jdm clear front reflectors, 5 window tint and Nissan's mudguards.
I'm very happy with the result. The car does WHAT I want, WHEN I want. ( I think the auto/manual choice the trans gives me is useful, maybe not the best choice for road racing on a track but then I didn't buy the car to do that - IF I had that goal, I'd never buy a Z anyway.) bj

Besides the 19's, webasto sunroof, and a K&N drop-in, the only mod so far is probably the most important, a B&M Supercooler tranny cooler install.
If my work decides to pay me what I'm worth (i.e. bonus), then I'm looking into a Stillen S/C. No sense messing around with small stuff IMO.
(Yeah the K&N is small, but hey, I needed a new filter, the stock was dirty
)
