I went with Wavetech because it locks and it is low maintenance like Quaife. The two a comparable in every way accept the Quaife act like an open differential if one one or both tires lose contact with the surface.

The tricky part is to get the gear lash correct. Most of the time, the factory shims will get it right but if not you will have to take it back apart re-shim check and then repeat until right. Not real hard but time consuming and if you don't have the correct shims you got to get them. I'm doing what JWillis72 did, well almost, I'm taking the whole car to Z1 for the Quaife and then a dyno tune. That is, when I get the fuel pump replaced.........

OS Giken here. Best one in my opinion. Most expensive one too unfortunately. Like most people, I got lucky with the backlash and did not need to change shims.

I just ordered the RJM Newly Revised Rev 3.1 clutch pedal. After going with new os giken twin disk I figured it wouldn't hurt and will do a full review soon enough.

Even though I have the second version of the RJM pedal, I will go to the latest version along with his MC when I do my clutch. I'm really interested in how the twin disc clutch works out. I hate grabby clutches. I pride myself with being able to drive as smooth as any automatic with a manual. Close to 50 year of practice..........

Right on, I will be sure to do a full review. We had a little mis-hap with the bushing provided and over extended the csc so I had to go with another but it is also a upgrade from the previous csc from zspeed. This new csc is a one piece design and supposed to be even stronger..

Would like some advice of tires ? With massive power coming I think a bit more contact patch wouldn't hurt and currently I'm running stock nismo tire size and rims.

Cosmo, I'm going with the popular Bridgestone RE-11 setup, 265 F and 305 R. I have not driven on them yet as I'm waiting on my custom powder coated wheels to arrive which should be this week. My 800hp Supra buddy swears by the Nitto tires he runs but most of his crazyness is straight line terror. His car handles like a pig in the corners. Probably not the tires but his setup. He gets to scare the crap out of me on the straight line shots but I get back at him in the corners. I love watching him tense up when I don't bother with the brakes while hitting exit ramps. And that is on my set of S-04 which are great DD tires. Can't wait to get the RE-11 scrubbed in and see what they will do. Good luck and I'll be watching for more from you and your latest build.

Just got the call. No dyno tonight... It hopefully will be next sat, just a few days before I go to pick it up. Lets hope nothing comes up sat because it would really throw a monkey wrench in everything right before I get my car... One things for sure, I will never do this again because it takes so long. Try having your car in 2 shops for a solid year and tell me its worth it. If I cannot do it myself it won't be done... Kuddos to bryan because he had a ton of cleanup work to do on my car after the motor blew and such.... Bummed............................................ ..............
