370Z JT Journal - Work in Progress

Just got back from Specialty Z. I wasn't able to get the Eibach sways installed. Will save that for another time. The differential was installed in less than 3 hours. I was super concerned about extra noise, vibrations, whine from the Whiteline bushings and the 4.08 gears. Lucky for me, I did not experience any additional NVH. As for the 4.08s, I did not notice any difference in street driving under normal acceleration. However, under moderate to heavy throttle is when I noticed it most. 1 and 2 gear are very quick. Acceleration in 7th gear on the highway is much improved. I do 90% of my driving on surface streets so hopefully I will not notice a drop in MPG.

As for the Quaife, I have not noticed its presence yet. I haven't pushed it around corners yet. Will report back in a few weeks with more reviews on the Quaife. I have heard that it is best to turn off VDC in order to maximize the full potential of the Quaife. Any comments?

Oh yea, cruise control doesn't work.
