Shhh
Not sure if my seat pans will be the same as the ones from the g but its worth it to look in to.
You've changed man..
sell me the seats. with proper railings ^
also, bluevq, i'm still on the standard pulley. i'm nervous about making much more power on my car cause i just hit 99k yesterday. but the fact that i couldnt pull on a z with boltons with ease is really bothering me.. and that i lose mucho acceleration at 6k+ rpm.. i mean i know it's only about 80-100 whp more than a stock z/g, but still, it didnt feel like it at all. it still sounds awesome.
where do you get tuned? I called DB performance and will prob take my car to them later this month.

Db has done all of mine. We've done a lot of figuring stuff out on my car. So they should know their way around it. Shane hates tuning the ss box but he does a good job and will get you a good safe tune... Have you watched your boost? Maybe belt slippage?.......par, It didnt really sound like anything was really happenin mayne! I didnt wanna drive an hour to show up late to what I thought was just gonna be a car or two.... So I put about two hundred miles on my bike...old harley dudes know some damn good roads and they like to drive. It was pretty awesome.

yeah i just think i'm hitting as much boost as i should be. my stupid gauge is in bars, and i've had them unplugged for a while (i was in the process of rewiring some stuff, but never did). i'm also on the turboxs utec, and although lots of people arent a fan of it, i think it's fine for under 400hp. shane is the dude i talked to so i will see what happens.

Well me and the stupidvisor got into it today at work. Let's just say some words were exchanged and he ended up kicking over a table and nearly hitting my coworkers. Lets see if he has a job tomorrow and me a promotion.

You could do that, but honestly it's not that bad leaving. You definitely do need to get there early to park down with the rest of the cars...that's half the fun of going imho. It can be a little slow exiting, depending on what time you decide to leave...but not really that bad. It's all over by late morning anyways.

Alright well as Greg requested I have a parts list here just to gauge some interest, Alex has already been hounding me for some stuff so the osiris tuner is gone but here goes.
Os Giken LSD with output shafts 1000
Nismo finned diff cover 100
Hotchkis sways(brand new) 300
Bc racing coils (used about 4k miles) 750
spc rear camber arms 90
Borla exhaust (dent in muffler) 400
fleabay resonated test pipes 40
Jwt popcharger 75
Kinetix v++ upper plenum 170
Motordyne mrev2 250
Godspeed engine torque dampner 30
Nex front and rear bbk 2300
sparco evo2 seats sliders and seat pans 900
Blox 490 brushed shift **** 40
Wheels 600 (just replaced the front tires)
2 19 inch nitto 265/35 555 tires 100
mishimoto cooling plate 50
Nismo v2 front bumper 300
I will likely leave the jwt clutch and flyhweel in there as well as the extended lugs and wheel spacers because it will be a sob to get out.
As far as the audio **** goes I will probably keep it all but If someone wants the door pods I can throw them in if you wanna buy something else!
The engine grounding kit I will likely keep and put into whatever z car I plan to get after I get a good price on an rb26 or find one already swapped into a car.

That's correct. I already spoke to Luis about parking, we have a full lane reserved for the "japanese" section. We are rolling in at 7:45.
