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.

That sounds so mean

Mr&Mrs · 04-03-2011, 08:26 PM

Sounds awesome bro!

SPOHN · 04-03-2011, 08:38 PM

Thanks. It really does. I turned so many heads today, it was funny.

I'd also like to add that the car drives alot better though. Seems smoother through the RPM range.

Well I finally got tired of my tiny base model brakes. So I went and picked up some Akebono/ Nissan sport brakes from Z1. I have to tell you they have the best pricing hands down on these products. Plus they offer several options with the kit. I ended up getting slotted rotors, Z1's SS lines, and Hawks HP+ pads. Which are a aggressive street/ track pads. I felt these would be a great option for what I'm going for.

It will probably be a couple weeks before I get to install these. So stay tuned.

yea planning on the 23rd

SPOHN · 04-04-2011, 07:06 PM

That's what I'm planning also. Hope to meet you again?

Red__Zed · 04-04-2011, 07:33 PM

Excited to see how the brakes look. I'm thinking about picking up the same set with the slotted rotors.

SPOHN · 04-04-2011, 07:46 PM

I might be able to get them on this weekend. My rear pads had to be drop shipped to me. Hopefully they'll be here in time. Next Monday I'm getting Uprev tuned along with my OS Giken LSD. So it's going to be a great next week.
