Another option has hit the table today, Greddy Emanage Ultimate, so I have this Osiris and Haltech to choose from...comments?

 

you're comparing baseball to swimming.....

 

Yeah I'm starting to gather that the more I look, ultimately I think I will need the Haltech, today's question of what will I do for the next 12 months is more or less between the Emanage and Osiris. Then the debate of why wait opens up, is there a best compromise or should I just bite the bullet and go with the Haltech...

 

I am running the haltech in my setup, then again im doing a full n/a build with cams. If a haltech is something you think you will need later, dont waste the money on something else.

 

Ok guys, here is the final list

Exhaust
Headers - Brushed Stainless - DC Sports, APS True Dual 2.5" Exhaust Cat Back, APS Cat-Delete Dual 2.5” Race Pipes. Working towards the SG Performance long tubes and single exhaust as the next step in exhaust and lightness.

Drivetrain
NISSAN 4.083 Ring and Pinion, Nismo Finned Differential Cover, Exedy Hypercarbon Single Clutch package, Cusco RS LSD, Agency Power Steel Braided Clutch Line, SPL Solid Diff Bushings, Nismo Short Shifter. Depending on what happens this year might have the need for a multiplate clutch in the future.

Engine
JWT Camshafts NISSAN 350Z 2003-2006 ; Non-REVUP, S1 Billet. Lift in Adv +2Lash Cold VQ35DE .428" / 260 .010-.013, Unorthodox Racing Pulley Kit, NISMO Radiator Cap, NISMO Thermostat, Injected Performance Solid Engine Mount Kit, Koyo Aluminum Radiator, RevUp Oil Pump, UTR Carbon Fiber Radiator Shroud, Carbing catch can, Samco Radiator Hose Kit, Injected Performance/APS High Volume Oil Pan, Stillen Engine Damper, Injected Performance Rear Coolant Bypass. Phase 2 holds a built head, likely bottom end, considering the Cosworth Head and Block or a 3.8L short block with the Cosworth Head but likely 11:1 to 12:1. More aggressive Cams once this phase starts, high revving screamer at this point.

Intake
APS Tall-Boy Balanced Distribution Inlet Plenum, Group-M Intake, Motordyne MREV2, Skunk 2 - Carbon 5/8" Intake Spacer. Phase 2 will hold ITB's in this department most likely.

Brakes
Stillen Brake Master Cylinder Brace, Stop Tech - Stage 2 Brake Upgrade BREMBO Drilled, Axis Ultimate Pads, Motul RBF600 Brake Fluid. Most likely a 355mm front upgrade to slotted from Stop Tech and a change of rear rotors to slotted with stock Brembo calipers and aggressive pads.

Suspension
Hotchkis Sport Sway Bars, Tein Mono Flex Coilovers, Tein EDFC Controller,
Tein Tie Rods Inner & Outer, GT Spec Fender braces, 4-Point Under Bar, Front Lower Bar, Rear Tie Bar, Rear Lateral bar, Nismo 50mm Hub Bolts. Minor tweaks here as needed based on the track requirements or rules I hit into next year.

Wheels & Tires
Volk RE30 18x9.5F, 18x10.5R, Toyo R888 255/35-18 Front 275/35-18 Rear. Incoming 305/35-18 R888 and 315/30-18 R888, going to try both on the rear to see which fits best and put the 275/35-18 up front, early summer.

Exterior/Interior
Nismo v2 Kit, Seibon Carbon Hood, Seats, Fenders F&R, Hatch, Doors, Door Panels, Roof, APR GTC-300 Wing. Next entries are the Takata Harness and Cusco roll cage as well as gutting.

EMS
The debate is over, Haltech is the winner. Spoke to my tuner and have been reassured by all that this is the best option by far (in my price range).

So just a few weeks to get the balance of the products in, then installed, then tuned and I hope to give an update at that point as to the outcome. Thanks for all your help with making the above decisions and remember some choices above were made back in 2005 when I first got the car and are carry over items while others are products that we sell/represent in Cayman like Tein, Carbing, Seibon and Toyo. Special thanks to Injected Performance and Andy@Performance Nissan.

 

Good choice on the Haltech. Keep us updated with install pics and your progress.
