Critique my parts list...

Honestly, that's always a concern on building a turbo z. The final out the door cost puts you in a used gtr or similar car. Not to mention boosting a z pretty much destroys the resale.

I didn't buy thit car to sell it so not really worried there, however what can be done can always be undone. I keep all my stock parts. |

The OS Giken Diff is a lot of money and if your not racing I would say it's over kill. Not to mention it needs regular service. Finned Diff cover is not necessary for street driving either. I would recomend doing all the drivetrain mods I listed, are they required no, but your CSC will eventually fail if not your clutch with the extra torque. Also not required but with more power comes more speed much faster so brakes need more stopping power. Tires are very important as well because spinning your tires can be fun sometimes, but it isn't productive, and why did you spend all that money on power if you just spin it away. |

The car will see more than just street driving, both road course and occasional 1320. I'm looking at limiting tire spin not inducing it. It gets you nowhere except back into your wallet for replacements. 325 MT ET Street S/S Drag Radials out back. The CSC is an issue I haven't addressed yet as the car was brand new just this past spring - and am fully aware it will need to be. Haven't decided what clutch/flywheel I'll run but it wasn't directly relevant to the SC install so I left it off the list. Sidenote: I did add LSD and gears to the list because I'm curious of others' opinions on the 4.08 R&P coupled with FI. Easy enough to upgrade the oil cooler if need be but this one I'll wait and see how it goes. We don't really get staggering items here even in the summer, but will put it on the track for final decision. I'm dealing with a close but out of town wrecker on stock Nismo brakes they have on hand right now actually. Depends what they come back to me with. If it's a good deal then I'll go for it, but will need 19's to clear them as I don't think the 18's will - though I prefer to stick with 18's. Will see what happens there. Guess the short of it is just trying to piece together a plan for this winter's teardown, certainly doesn't mean I'm going to stop there. It also doesn't mean I need to do everything all at once either. Need a realistic list for now and try to not do or include anything that will have to be swapped out or upgraded again later. FI isn't cheap and I don't want to do things twice. Already sold most of my bolt-ons to go this route and we all know how much of a hit you take on used parts. |

Oh, and I get bent over by the exchange rate every transaction too so that's not exactly in my favour right now.
At least the only real labor incurred will be the rear end. I turn my own wrenches but don't set gears. Last edited by ChaseZ; 12-01-2016 at 11:37 AM. |

18s will fit with sport (nismo) brakes, a number of people who track got with 18s for better selection of tires and savings with each set.
Road course and quater mile are going to make brakes and fuel starve fix more of a requirement then a nice to have. With that I think you're good to go! |

Ironically, I've found there to be much LESS selection of 18" tires nowadays, at least in the larger sizes above 305. Pretty much anything is available in 19" though. I guess 19 is the new 18.. |

The AEM Failsafe is super easy to install and the logging feature is really nice when a problem comes up such as a bad fuel pump. I know this because it happened with me. At first he AF was ok and then slowly started going leaner and because I had proof of the problem Stillen replaced the faulty pump with no questions asked. The interface is a USB cable that I have coiled up in the glove box. It comes with a Bosch WB sensor and bung. When I had Fast Intentions make my CBE I had them install a WB bung for me. Worked out great. One other nice feature of the AEM gauge is that it is easily user programmed for what you want it to do. The failsafe feature lets you control whatever (from a beeper to a boost controller) with a programmable relay that you get to set the parameters to trigger it.

Now just to figure out if I'm going to make my own pod or go with Gale's. His is clearly OEM quality at a minimum, but need to figure out where my dollars are best being spent. Last edited by ChaseZ; 12-01-2016 at 04:46 PM. |

Gale's is beautiful but I felt the same way and made my own. For something small like a pillar pod it's pretty easy.... of course not nearly as fancy as Gale's.

Should I/Am I going to need a fuel pressure regulator?
Think I'll back down to 750 injectors. The 1000 was just in case I ever ran e85 but the closest pump is like 10 hours drive from here lol. Will plan on having a 103 race gas map however. |
