Same here....I believe they have actually done it but need to find the thread.
They were looking for a car to test it out on. Not sure if they ACTUALLY did it

Well that sucks...so still sticking with Uprev for now.
Maybe by 2020 ecutek will be a viable option for the 370z.

The diff. brace went a long way because it kept the wheels on the ground, so the LSD can do its job. I built it myself (because I can) and because I did not think that whatever was available on the market was good/strong enough.

430ft/tq at the wheels and there is no traction issues in 2nd gear when it is warm out (summer). A lot of 1st gear sticks as well.
So when can we expect this to be part of the BP line up? ;P Im sure you could push these as well.

Waiting on the camber correction kit Charles! This would be sex.

It will happen! Just need some more time! So many projects at once.

Attached is a photo of my new set of wheels/tires for when I dont feel like dealing with any spin. Thats 3 sets of dang wheels for this car now, although only 1 set of fronts lol. I will be putting some skinnies up front soon though, just havent done the work to pick some out and order.

I am going to do a full setup for drag... temporary. Just for a couple local events I will setup the alignment and suspension (and rear brakes) for it.

Has anyone here done a final drive change? How much does that help?

Also, are there any dynamic adjustable camber arms that would self adjust itself as the car squats? Or this something 20 years from now?

Switching to a lower final drive will lower torque driven to the wheels. So it doesn't so much aid traction, but it reduces your need for traction. However, unlike comparable band-aids such as traction control, at least the final drive gear change offers the advantage of taller gearing in exchange.

I have not seen any production cars use dynamic control arms yet, but I wouldnt be surprised if there are high power RWD OEM cars like AMG or something using it, or working on it. The advantages to dynamic alignment are endless, so I doubt it will take 20 years... I would say any day now.

Weld the spider gears?


I kid, I kid.


Someone should come out with a selectable locker :D

^ Off topic, but... Man, where did you come from? I guess welcome back? LOL

It is a good idea for the vendors - to put the Traction Kit for 500WHP in the offer. From let say Stage 1 with bushings and gears to Stage 3 with LSD, suspension upgrade, etc. Can't find something like that on the market in some "kit" package.

No reason to kit it. There aren't that many parts

And it's moronic to swap gear ratios down when auto guys will just swap with you

Mickey Thompsons /skinnies up front big *** burnout. And you saved a couple thousand. Thank me later. You might need a parachute out back.

So I'm going forced induction and I'm curious if anyone knows for sure, will a 350z AT differential (with VLSD) fit my base MT 370Z? I want the 3.3 gears and also anything but my open diff, and used 350 parts are way cheaper and easier to come by
