not overwhelming at all

Hey bro love your car and as others have said your Z is an inspiration for my MB as well. I noticed you said that when you had the 9.5 +20 up front with the 5mm spacer, effectively making it a +15, you had a bit of rubbing. I was a kinda skeptical but I just pulled the trigger on a 19x9.5 +15. I'm also planning on running the stock rubber but I'm dropped on s-tech springs which sit a bit higher than your swifts, so I'm hoping I'll be ok even though I might get less negative camber than you. Anyway, when you said you rubbed the liner a bit was that only during hard cornering or did it rub heavy regularly?

thanks

Its just the plastic liner on big bumps/dips in the road. The upper tab might require some bending, but it will be fine.

Awesome thanks bro.

[QUOTE=Boost_lee;1622682]Dyno video

I lost a few HP after changing the exhaust, but I don't know how much is contributed by the changes in weather.

E370 (blue pull) others were after a reflash

This dyno sheet does not have the temp readings, but when searching for weather conditions in that area on 3/25/12 it was about 72 degrees, 30.07in-Hg, and 76% humidity.

I only got in 1 pull with the Motordyne exhaust and no other changes; I was in a rush for time. The temperatures were a bit hotter on the E370 pull, but I provided Tony with the dyno files so he can compare them or do delta changes. After the pull I put another map on the car with the accessport and picked up a little bit of power. I still love the sound of this thing.

Here's a driving video of the Motordyne exhaust. Consists of a flyby followed by a spirited drive-by.
Ends with a few revs. (2K, 3K, 4K, 5.5K, redline)
Enjoy

One other update; picked up some used 285's for the rear. Hankook V12's will be replacing the stock rear RE05A's with 23000 miles.
Once these and the fronts wear out together I'll probably look towards the RE11

how the hell do you guys go so far on the stock rears? I got 11k miles and mine were DONE. no burnouts, no launches, just hard cornering I guess

Boost_lee · 04-03-2012, 01:15 PM

beats me

tjlazer · 04-03-2012, 01:17 PM

I'm at 25K on the stock Nismo yokohamas. But they are almost done and I will need new tires this summer.

simota1 · 04-03-2012, 02:32 PM

god dang man!!!! my tires in front are bridgestones... and the guy said he had 11k and they look like they are gonna explode from how bald they are hahahahah i really needa change them soon....

ZForce · 04-04-2012, 01:45 AM

Nice sounding exhaust. On my wish list. RE-11 are great mine started going 12k sticky as fly paperbut do not expect to get anywhere near 23k.

Boost_lee · 04-05-2012, 02:51 AM

that helps. We'll see how the hankooks feel first.

It was a pleasure seeing your car this weekend at Nismo Fiesta. Congrats on winning best in class! The blue was supreme.
