Yes NJ is nice, great weather for cars.

 

I need to try out one of these near sea level tracks one day.

 

Jesus, you already boast some of the nicest times already...pitch in for my vehicle transport and plane ticket to NJ? So my less fortunate self can run something respectable. It's funny and kinda sad to see everyone expecting magazine 13's when they go to the track to only find that once they go to the track here, it's amazingly hard to even brake into the 13's. S2K's i've seen hurt bad, most are barely there or can't get into the 14's.

 

What kind of tires are you running? No short shifter?

 

No short shifter, I heard a lot of stories of people selling them after using it. I also I think the throw of the shifter we have right now is perfect. To be honest I thought it was best with the nismo shift ****, just jam the arm back and you hit second, grab the **** and jam it straight forward and it hits 3rd with rarely ever a missed shift. The only reason im running my stock one now is because of how much damn heat the metal ***** retain in Arizona. I got a NISMO scalded into my hand.

 

Ya, I dont know a whole lot of people with short shifters. Atleast they are not in their sigs or anything. I know Alberto had a B&M short shifter, and Im sure there are plenty of others as well, but its not on my list of things to buy!

 

Yeah I feel the same way with the short shifter issue, i just think the seemingly lower feel of the nismo style ***** allow for a lower grip which "feels" easier and more direct in shifting, at least to me at least, im not banging out low 13's though so don't quote me on that

 

the 04.5Z was going 4mph slower @ I3 but by the end, made it back up?

albeit over a longer time, but still...am i missing something?

 

Hmm hadn't noticed that either. That thing makes gobs more power then I do all over the power range. Even with a better 60 ft and launch I was still at best only side by side for the first 2 gears, and at 3rd that thing takes off.
