Here is my best run dyno results from a week ago at an event we southeast guys had. Would like to get an Uprev shortly. That way I could smooth out (lower)the A/F a little more. I also believe there dyno was running a little off that day. I was seeing some wierd things that day. But no big deal. I'm getting my car tuned at Forged in two weeks. See what happens there.

SPOHN · 03-27-2011, 06:01 PM

I plan to.

Just ordered a OS Giken LSD. Will be installed in two weeks.

SPOHN · 03-28-2011, 12:37 PM

Just ordered a Uprev today from Forged Performance. They will be tuning it on April 11 along with the installation of my OS Giken LSD.

Also just odered today the the sport brake upgrade for my car. Being it's a base model. I got a great deal on this being Z1 offers the best pricing hands down on these. I ended up getting some slotted rotors with some more aggresive pads for now. Will be getting some two piece rotors soon enough. I'll have pics later next week. So stay tuned. Here's a link to to the basic brake package I got from Z1.

I've been waiting on that mod since I bought the car. My 350 didn't have the VLSD either. The VLSD doesn't really hold up well after pushing it hard. So I'm ready to see how this puppy will handle after the install. Heard nothing but great review on this product. Mostly from GTR owners. No more one wheel wonder.

It will make such a difference, I feel excited and it isn't even going in my car! (Someday.....)

The biggest problem I am finding with the open diff is that when I am trying to go diagonally into a parking lot or driveway to avoid scraping, the inside wheel lifts and I literally cannot even get up over that incline since the wheel just spins and spins. Scary in traffic!

I know the feeling. Happens to me about everyday at work with the trucks they give us. Being we are always off road. You think they would buy some trucks with at least a differential lock.

I can't wait to give a good review on this. Forged Performance loves them on there two GTR's.
