Quaife and ATS has its specific model to replace the stock open differential. There is no need to change the side shafts.

I guess SoCal would be the Mecca...minus the exhaust restrictions and strict laws with mods...

But that is where all the best parts are...

So, it's on it's Final Steps for the Clean Daily Driver Build. haha

This weekend After seeing so much Hype over the Stillen Gen 3 Intakes, I decided to make my own. I already Have the Nismo's and Didn't want to sell em and then go buy some ridiculously expensive Intakes. so I just went ahead and made my own extensions. I didn't trim any part of my radiator support, it was the whole idea behind making my custom set up. unfortunately i got too tired to take pics of both sides before i put her back together. so here is pictures of the driverside




Then a Friend of Mine Gave me Some test Pipes, so I went ahead and Put them in as well. no pics of that since it's nothing crazy . worth taking pictures of. I guess now i need to change My Signature to show all my mod's don't I? lol

Took the car out for a drive today, all I can say is the gains are definetly there, we will find out if it was a Placebo effect or not soon when I get the car tuned. Maybe it was the test pipes that helped but i think the intakes did the trick, i can see allot more bottom end torque now than before. now i see how the Nismo's where robbing me of some power.

Nice pickup! How do you like the Z coming from the s-chassis world? Just curious because I have an s14 now and from time to time consider selling it for a Z
