well I was hoping all my spark plugs would be fine but unfortunately a few were trashed so i needed new plugs. Told the shop to put whatever in there and I would swap em out later but they went ahead and purchased some oem Gtr injectors. Not sure how comparable these are to the hks one step colder plugs but I guess I’m gunna find out. I read the thread where it seemed a mix of what people ran either Gtr or hks but didn’t see anything that proved one better than the other. We’ll see

Well I went to the track for the first time ever with my “new motor”
First pass ever down the track was an 11.1 @ 135. I was super pleased with that so I decided not to push it further and shoot for an 11.5 which is the class I’m racing at a little event next week. Got 2 more passes both 11.6 @ about 117. I then decided last pass if the night to go for a 10 and snapped an axle. I have snapped so many damn axles. I really need to get the line lock installed and preload this launch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Soho manifold is now 2500 on their site. Damn group buy didn’t even save me anything. Anyone want it?

If it wasn't for the group buy it may not have ever happened.

Another track event completed. Ran the 15x10.5 slick at 11psi and it saved my axles some pain but didn’t feel comfortable dumping it above 3500. Had very terrible 60ft and 1/8th times but that mph sure was there at the 1320. Need a dct….

Here’s me and blue ranger getting our test pass in. I redlit and missed a gear and still managed to pull a 12.43 at 7800 DA. Best pass of the night was 11.1 at 132 with a 1.9 60ft. Need to fix my short track and I can see mid 10s I bet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Finally fixed my “overheating” issue. I got the coolant system pressurized and temps went right back to 180 for awhile. Took the car on a 500 mile trip up to Wolf Creek to go snowboarding and it ran superb until the uphill climb to the lodge. Puked some coolant out once I got parked and it ran a bit warmer on the way home but overall a great trip. Going to re-pressurize the system today and try to figure out why it boiled over.
Ps. Fit my buddys skis, my snowboard, and all our gear with no issues in the back :) no spare tire+that plastic in the trunk and then removing the headrest of the passenger seat makes for enough space to get skis in. The board fits easy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Would anyone be willing to drop the part number for their Swift springs? I just got mine in and these things are tiny I feel like I ordered wrong.
I got the Swift Coilover Springs Z65-152-090 ID 65mm / 2.56" 6" Length 9 kgf 504 lbs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Got a few updates on my build.
I threw my drag pack on and my v1 nismo wheels got stolen so I picked up a set of ray gramlights fxz57 overseas edition paired with 285f 325r nitto invos. Took a long time for those wheels to come in so naturally I had to race on the slicks and of course I snap an axle AND a diff mount first race. Got it home and the diff was just handing by the one DSS axle I have on the passenger side… Had to replace the diff cover so just ordered a high cap Z1. I had a ton of metal on the drain bolt so I hope everything in the wavetrac is OK. Threw it all together with some new motul and car has been driving fine since. Lowered the front of the car on some BC racing BR coil overs. Lowered the rear with SPL midlinks and swift springs while retaining oem rear shocks. Got new SPL front end links as well to replace the worn ones I had. I have that weird pop in the front suspension and I can’t figure it out. I tried the lock nut on the sway bar/end link connection which seemed to help most people but it didn’t help me so I’m just gunna look at it under a lift once I get it aligned. I traded my SOHO manifold for a different clutch just because I haven’t been enjoying the specialty Z clutch too much. Picked up a new OS giken quad plate. Overkill I know but what a beautiful piece lol. It weighs a freaking ton. I really don’t want to go built motor till I see a fair amount of people not lifting the heads at 1k+HP so I’ll just play around with the stock long block for now. No need for the soho manifold so I just traded for that OS clutch. At about 20k of TT driven miles, trying to catch up to you old timers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

No more torque than I’m currently running. The floating hub should actually help reduce shock I would think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
